"The basis of our unrest Is the fact
that we have so many races struggling

at least II races In Great Britain. The

tions. We know they have a Labor
party, but It Is not generally known of
what It la composed. The Labor party
consists of trade unions, labor organ -
satlona of various kinds, and several
b'ortallst groups.
Membership Is by groups, not by In
dividuals. Just now the party Is In pro
cess of reconstruction to admit Indi
viduals, and also to admit "brain

enroll all radicals, and to form a ma

The Socialist groups are extremists

S'lmlratlnn for the Botshevlkl and the

minor family quarrels Just now be
tween the Lahorltes and the govern

Trotsky first appointed a man named

Lltvlnoff waa then appointed, but

Labor party. As this Is being written
the Labor party Is holding Its annual
convention in Nottingham. The prelim
Inary meeting In London was opened
by a rigorous singing of "The Red

and there waa great cheering for the

conference with German workers. The
idea has become a real obsession with
them.
According to the peace programme of
the Labor party, adopted in December,
the "Irreducible minimum terms" are
given aa follows: "The absolute free
dom and Integrity of Belgium, Serbia,
Koumania and Montenegro, and the es
tablishment on a firm basis of a League
of Nations and People for International
Co-operation. Disarmament and the
Prevention of Future Warfare."
When Mr. Lloyd George met the
trade union delegates In conference, he
told them eloquently why a peace by
negotiation with Germany was still
out of the possibilities. lie reminded
them of their irreducible minimum of
terms and he said:
"Go to Von 'Hindenburg with them.
Try to cash that check In the Hinden
burg bank. It will be returned dis
honored. Whatever terms are set for
ward by any pacifist orator in these
lands, you will not get them cashed
by Ludendorff or the Kaiser or any of
those great magnates not one of them
unless you have got the power to
enforce them."
Nevertheless, after a masterly speech,
in which the whole war situation was
gone over with a clearness that made It
plain to the dullest mind, those tradoj
union leaders came atraignc dsck to
their demand for a conference with
German working people. They did not
expect that Ludendorff and Hinden
burg would cash the check written by
the Labor party, but could they not

peace. They hooted at the suggestio
that any delegates from German
would be hand-picked by the Uerma
government, but the Premier said:
"Do not let us deceive ourselves with
a delusion. Tou can only make peace
with a government. If the govern
ment does not represent the people of
Germany, let thera change their gov
ernment-"
Not one of the allied governments,
declared the Premier, believed that any
good could come out of conferences be
tween sections of the population. They
must not cherish the Idea that because
they formed a majority they were the
only people.
"It is a fundamental misconception
of democracy," said Lloyd George, "that
any ection, however powerful, really
represented the whole of the people.
The only people who can negotiate
peace are responsible representatives
of the varioua governments."
Quite unconvinced, the labor leaders
went to the annual meeting in Not
tlngham and passed another resolution
In favor of a conference with Germans.
But sooner or later the knowledge will
come to organised labor that a new
kind of democracy has been born of
this war, a democracy greater than
they dream of now, greater than the
narrow vision of Lenin and Trotzky.
It is a democracy that recognizes no
privileged class, not even a labor class,
not even a male class.

MESSAGE EXPRESSES HOPE
Company's Representative Report
Seeing Light on Ship.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24. A message
filed at -St Johns at 7:30 o'clock to
night received at the office here of
Bowring & Co., gave hope that some of
those who were aboard the Florizel
might still be alive. ,
It was signed by a representative o
the line who had Just arrived at the
scene of the disaster and said a light
had been seen on the wrecked steam
ship.
The message sent to St. Johns by
Caspar Cook and relayed to this city,
said:
"Just arrived at place of wreck. Can
do nothing from shore. Steamers Terra
Nova and Home lying off. Sea getting
smoother. Expect to be able to do
something shortly. Dark-when we got
here, but man here have just seen a
light on FlorlzeL Vessel lying upright,

A telegram from Eric Bowring said
that the wreck commission, after send
ing a message stating that all lives had
been lost, filed another in which he
reported that five men appeared ori
deck "in a pitiful condition," and ask
ing that steamers be sent quickly.
John Shannon Munn, one of the pas
sengers, and a managing director of
the firm of Bowring Bros., Ltd., was a
stepson of Sir Edgar Bowring. Mrs.

ALIj HOPE NOW ABANDONED
Naval Gunners Put Line Aboard
Florizel, but Get No Response.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24. The fleeting
hope that a few of those abord the
wave - battered steamship Florizel,
wrecked near Cape Race, might etlll
be alive, virtually was abandoned to
night. Naval gunners who went to the
rescue on a relief train, sent from et.
Johns, put rockets and a line on board
shortly before 9 o'clock, but there was
no response.
The message which killed the hope
that the disaster might not have been
complete was received by Bowring &
Co., agents here of the Red Cross line,
at 10 o'clock tonight from Taeker Cook,
marine agent, who headed the relief
party. It had been forwarded from St.
Johns. He characterized the position
of the ship as hopeless.
"Nothing .can be done until the sea
moderates," said the telegram. "Will
have another try in rooming. Put
rockets and line on board, but got no
response. Steamer Home launched
boat but could not get within one-
quarter mile of Florizel. Some cargo
washed ashore. Have placed men on
bank to watch chance to get to Flori-

cannot hold out much hope."
