Congress has done a good work for Labour More important than that it has saved the community from a conflict which whatever its issue must bare been disastrous and has re-asserted tbe supremacy of Parliament as the siyinbol and centre of the Commonwealth In some quarters doubtless this decision will be represented as a defeat Organised Labour it will be said had pledged itself to compel the Government to concede tbe nationalisation of the coal It was for this very purpose that Congress was summoned But the Government is no nearer yielding to the demands of tbe Miners Federation than it was before and by rejecting the principle of- direct actioD Labour has abandoned at any rate for the time being the only weapon by which it could apply compulsion Superficially these arguments are plausible and it crust be frankly admitted that the Trade Unions Congress has executed what in the days of war we used to know as a strategic withdrawal But some withdrawals (as we had pason to learn) are more valuable than a vk bry And this is one of them It is indeed srobable that when organised Labour last September committed tiself to compulsion it iad not dearly thought out either the consequences of its pledge or the means necessary to secure its fulfilment And during the six months which have since elapsed there has been time for calm reflection The comparative failure of the raiBva- strike proved that the community was not so helpless as had been imagined public opinion declared itself more and more unmistakably against any threat of blackmail the cleavage in the ranks of Labour itself became so manifest that it was clear that any strike would be so only in name and the sneeess of Labour candidates at the by-elections seemed to indicate the possibility of a Labour Government at no very distant date All these considerations must have weighed with Congress in making its decision yesterday and the result whether it be a withdrawal or no is decisive victory for patriotism and common-sense On tactical grounds the case against a general strike was conclusive The man in this country who would most welcome direct said Mr Clynes not at this Conference at all in Downing Street at the head of We believe him to be right Had the Trade Unions Congress decided on industrial action to the Government to concede the nationalisation of the mines Mr George would have been given the opportunity of another stampede election in which the Coalition fuglemen who have drowned all appeal to reasoned argument in a din of anti-revolutionary fervour Labour would have put itself hopelessly in the wrong and would have been compelled to fight on the ground most disadvantageous to itself It would be urged (with truth) that it was endeavouring to blackmail the community and that the plain citizen in his own interest must rally to the support of the Government Even ihose in other political canms who might be disposed to favour nationalisation would have been forced to throw in their lot with the representatives of law and Labour divided even in its own ranks would have sustained a humiliating defeat If the case was strong on tactical grounds on moral grounds it wag overwhelming This aspect of the argument was urged with unanswerable force by Mr Thoxas The policy of defying those in power and elected by tbe he would be an excuse for retaliation against those who are its sponsors The desire no privilege that they are not prepared to concede to others and accept no policy they would refuse to their Here speaks the true voice of statesmanship If Labour indeed aspires to the even tuallp eminent of the country it must first prove that it knows how to obey It may not like the present Government Neither do we It may feel that it has been cheated by the refusal of the Prime Minister to carry out the recommendations yf Mr Justice Saxkey- and be irritated by it regards as a betrayal But if it is concerned for the I interests of the community even if it realises where its own real interests lie--it would be marl to commit itself to a policy violence Wbicn would give the excuse to everv section With power at its" We have pai rl bitterly enough already for Sectional resistance' to the law Ireland to-day offers an illustration And if Labour is conscious of its responsibility it dare not lend countenance to an attempt to blackmail but must roly on the slow surer--processes of argument and persua-siom vote is an encouraging Finn of tne fundamental working man good sens of the British i BY THE WAY A Grave Warning Lard Gurson 's statement in the House of Lords last night constitutes a grave warning He hiuteu in uc veiled terms that it mightbe impossible to bring Turkey to reason without auc-hcr war Jnu declared that heoouldinot guarantee that the situation 'in Asia Minor would not be worse six months hence than it is to-day For tins state of affairs which is very largely the result of the delav in settling the peace terms Lord Cur sou blaiped America But the Allied Governments themselves cannot be exonerated so easily Had they taken proper precautions at the time of the Armistice had- they thrown into Turkey the men1 the munitions and die money which they devoted to the support of the eoimter-revohiticuajies ni Russia thel-e would be a very different story to tell Even withjn the last few weeks the Paris press: (Which has intimate connection with the French Foreign Office) has been urging the Allies to support Mus-tapha the author and instigator of tbe appalling massacres in Cilicia In these circumstances it is disingenuous as well as unfair to thrp-v all the blame 'on to the United States The Question of Constantinople From the tone of Lord Gurzon's speech we gather that be was one of the minority Within the Government that (as he admits) objected to the retention of the Turk in Constantinople Events seem to be justifying his opposition and we believe that the Supreme Council will yet be compelled to modifv the position which it has taken up in this matter The announcement that the Sultan was to be allowed to remain (made to the Turkish Government before it was given to tbe House of Commons) has clearly bean hailed as a victory by the Nationalist party in Turkey who claim (not without reason) that they have once more succeeded in bamboozling the Powers The decision has stiffened the necks of if ustapha Kernel and his friends and has given the more dangerous elements a new lease of power In announcing it to the House of Commons the Prime Minister suggested that it was contingent on the good behaviour of the Ottoman Government Since that Government has shown itself either unwilling or unable to keep its own unrulv subject in order should not the decision itself be revised? Internal Hungarian In reply to a question last night the Prime Minister stated t-hat from a and detailed which the Government had received from the British High Commissioner in Budapest it ap-peared that the rumours as to the maintained by the Hungarian Government were much We are glad to hear it and shall be interested to see the text of the report which Mr George promises at an early date At the same time the evidence of the intimidation practised by the Whites is too strong to be easily rebutted and the reoent speech made by the Hungarian Pime Minister justifies the belief that there has been a on the The Prime Minister we note declares that circumstances are not such as to justify the Government in interfering in what after all a question of internal Hungarian It is unfortunate that this self-denying ordinance was not observed at an earlier stage The Olympic Games We have ryoaired from Lord Downham chairman of the committee an appeal on behalf of the fund which is being raised to send representative teams to compete in the various sports of the Olympic Games which will he held in Antwerp in August next The Governments of many foreign countries are subsidising their Olympic Committees but as is pointed out Parliamentary tradition is against all Government subsidies and the British Olympic Council is left to raise the sum for which it is asking by individual It will be necessary to meet the transport and housing expenses of at least 300 an espendj tore which can hardly he put ai less than £25per and there will be many other unavoidable expenses Adequate representation in these games is an affair touching the national liononr and we trust that there may be a response as generous as it is widespread to the committee appeal His Majesty the King has set the ball rotting by tributing a subsenPtaon of £200 Who will follow his lead?

PRESIDENTS SALARY The statement that Sir Auckland whose remuneration will United States has been fixed at £JOw receive more than the America Premdcnt is not iqv3Ct says the jumster The £3000 paid to

creasjd to vas elected a second time Congress further increased it to £13000 at which it still remains But in adn-tinn' to the salary proper Congress annually votes £40000 to cover the President expenses which brings the total amount received by the head of the State to £55000 per awium -Tie £20000 to paid ip to the British Am-haieador to the United States includes of course the generous allowance of £17oOU for expenses the actual salary accounting for tbe balance of £2300 A STICKLER FOR ETIQUETTE Ernest Duke of Cumberland was fiercely observant of the niceties of dress at Court but a more reoent example says the Manchester Guardian is -the late King On one occasion he sent word down the dinner table at Windsor requesting a guest one of his own most intimate friend to leave the table and change his dress tie "he having come down to dinner with a black instead of a white one And whereas the present King when going for a walk on Sunday afternoon at Windsor or at any other place in be country will always ask any officers in attendance te leave their swords behind so the they mav not be encumbered with them King dward would never allow an officer to walk with him without his sword the Difference Perhaps however the difference between the present and late filing in this matter was most 1 shown in reference to the official costume of chaplains Some little time ago the difference between ehaplains-in-ordinary and honorary chaplains was abolished all being called without distinction chaplains to the Soon after the change a chaplain turned up to preach before the King in the black cassock appropriate to his old status of honorary chaplain A MILD REBUKE The Dean of Windsor asked the clergyman where his scarlet- cassock was and on being told that he had not got one replied Lucky for you it is not King Edward you are to preach before He would have noticed it in a moment and refused to hear you if King George notices you will get only the mildest and gentlest rebuke with a laughing request to amend your Bays in APPOINTING THE SHERIFF The King when he appointed the Sheriff for at a Privy Council held at Buckingham Palace yesterday made the appointment says a Yorkshire Observer correspondent by pricking with a silver bodkin on a roll of eligible gentlemen The name pricked Was that -if Colonel Sir Henry Dennis Readett-Bayley XBE of Hunmanby Hall The is now only a form because the selection has already been made when the ceremony takes place Formerly it was otherwise A number if names appeared on the list and the monarch cricked at random and appointed the gentleman whose name was nearest to the perforation the old but empty form is still retained Queen Victoria found the management of the long roll if stiff paper very troulilesome and once got a blow in the face through the roll flying back towards its original position THE CHEAPEST MONEY The cheapest ppney in the world appears to bp the money issued bv the famous Russian General Yudenitch The Reval paper that has just arrived in London reports hot a Reval chocolate' firm has asked permission to use Yudenitch money as1 chocolate wrappers this money being cheaper than the ordinary wrapper employed Thousands of Russian sol-liers who served in the Yudenitch army have teen paid with this money TO' MIPS ET ROCKET The sensational offer of Captain Claude Collins of the New York Air Force to travel in a rocket to the planet Mars is not made without conditions says the Daily One of these is that before he leaves terra firma a rocket similar to that in which he is to be the passenger shall have been launched arid successfully landeu the planet and this in itself is so interesting that it is perhaps unnecessary to give the others There is sq oid story of the Mayor who produced to Napoleon a long schedule ot rcasJBr Ihyhis town had failed to fire a salute on ths approach' of' the eonquerer's One of them was that there was not a gun in the place The others may have been good ones but the Emperor no doubt thought their importance only relative NATAL OCCASIONS British naval officers who have now' cast their uniforms are beginning to speak more freely than they did during war-time' of their experiences with American colleagues says the Morning Hospitality offered on board a British vessel was of a less formal type than that customary in the American' Service On an American man-of-war it was usual for the visitors to line up and introduce themselves saying My name is as they shook hands after which still with a certain amount of decorum the visitors would be conducted to the ward-room During a visit of a party of British officers to an American vessel at Scapa Flow they were asked to state their particular form of poison as fhey sat round the table feeling rather appalled at the severity of American tradition 'The Mess President pressed a button and to the astonishment of the British officers a trap door opened the space being promptly filled by the anil mg face of a woolly American nigger who with an air of bland familiarity addressd the Mess President with the words Sar Boss did you The tact of the representatives of the two nations saved

REDUCTION IN POSTAL A very influential deputation of Liberal will wait od the Postmaster-General on Saturday to urge the reduction of the postal charges on printed matter to one halfpenny for two ounces That this reduction is only a question of time I firmly believe writes our London correspondent At present there has been nothing like agitation-on the subject but Government and tbe Pest Office have been subjected tb a little mild pressure from without The argument in favour of the proposed ofiange is overwhelming and the Post Office revenue would soon be the gainer by The Accommodating Burglar A neighbour of mine has in his back garden one of those posts to which oner attaches a line on which to hang newly -washed clothes Not one- of the common or garden posts you will understand which usually decorate suburban back gardens and are made of wood This one was brass-covered Some kind friend in the neighbourhood with am eye to profit had noticed this fact lyit was evidently deluded into believing that the post was solid brass with the result that one nlorning the post was missing Upon this my wife was distressed lor these posts I understand are difficult to obtain nowadays but her distress was not of long duration for the post was after all only a lost sheep It was discovered one morning back in its old plaoe with most of the brass chipped away The only comfort was to imagine t-e chagrin of the unusual burglar when he discovered that the valuable brass post which he had been at great pains to remove was after all only iron and of no use to him But it save a great deal for the disillusioned man that he took trouble to return to its rightful owners what was of no use to him Is this the up-to-date burglar one hears about First in the Field Apropos of the earliest record of the playing football in the district it is not surprising to find that the Chinese first a they were in many things were first in the field with the winter pastime we Britishers regard as peculiarly our own' '-The Celestials played this game from very early times at first with a ball stuffed with hair but from the fifth century with an inflated bladder covered with leather Even in the earliest days the game had its own literature giving the technical names and positions of the players and enumerating at least seventy varieties of kicks but perhaps the most remarkable matter so recorded was that concerning the reward of the players The winners were rewarded with flowers fruits and wine and even with silver bowls aud brocades while the captain of the losing team was flogged and suffered other Maybe one of the penalties was fingering with boiling oil in One may safelv infer that the games would be particularly straight- The National Anthem Another correspondent

quality safe for you and yow friends 'union literature THE ROUND TABLE The tone of Round Table is so sweetly i-eaeonable that to quarrel with any of its conclusions 6eems to savour of discourtesy There are however several points raised in the March number on which issue might be joined The whole trend of the first article on The British Empire the League of Nations and the United seems to us misleading suggesting as it does that Great Britain should follow the example of the United States and virtually write off all its most serious obligations under the Covenant Nor is the treatment accorded to Mr Keynes and Sir George Paish in the next article on International Financial as just as we have a right to expect in these level pages To say that Mr Keynes has advised that we should nothing till we have got rid as a start of every existing Government in Europe is gravely to misrepresent to whole tenor of his argument for though it is true that he looks with little confidence to those at present in power to effect any drastic changes in the economic settlement he lays the whole weight of his emphasis on the need for speedy alteration Nor is it fair to represent Sir George Paish as recommending granting of easy credit to and to -use the analogy of a drunkard by giving him more Sir George proposal of a League of Loan may have been wise or the reverse but he certainly bever recommended that the conditions on which credit should be given should be On the contrary he urged that they should involve precisely those guarantees of sober financial an 1 international policy on which the writer of this article lays so much stress The article on Problems of also calls for criticism Remembering the Sarre Valley settlement and the veto on Austro-German union it is surely putting too great a strain on the sympathy to assert that in determining the territorial configuration and the political status of the new the Allies have acted in strict adhesion to the principles which were agreed upon previous to the Nor in the case of economic cm the writer be taken seriously when he declares that the Allies have carried out President Wilson's promise of the basis of free acceptance rather than that of the material interest or advantage of any other nation or people which may desire a different settlement for the sake of its own exterior influence or To accuse the Paris peacemakers as is done in the first article of undue idealism is to turn the case topsy-turvy for it was precisely the failure of the Peace Conference to create the 11 peace enunciated by President Wilson that made the settlement itself so unsatisfactory and jeopardised the co-operation of-America in the League These and many other criticisms might be raised But Round exists rather to sti mu' ate thought than to lay down tbe law and from this stand -point the present issue is as useful as any of its predecessors Besides the contributions already referred to there are articles on
