As MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 30, 1918. sei_ wl we: Wi inj The executive committee of the American Federa fQ^ion of Labor, under the leadership of Samuel Gom Coiers, has followed a sensible course in declining to give Sa, LABOR AND POLITICS I)© n'ofess to exerciso any jurisdiction over the political Joists of its subordinate bodies, and points out that there caS'1 nothing to hinder, them from supporting political parties if they desire but the committee's action may be sunken as an indication of its belief as to the proper re- between organized labor and politics. gu* Labor parties, of course, are not new. But no co, iund reasoning can justify the policy which would base Political action on occupation when political action ought th pr be based solely on citizenship. JOBS FOR SOLDIERS It is to bo hoped that the government, in the speed 'ith which it is releasing men from the army, is not usting to luck that occupation will be found for these len when they have returned to civil life. The_ work ot ischarging the men should not proceed faster than lose men can be placed in suitable positions. It is not be supposed, of course, that the government should stain each man on its payroll until it has found for him ist the .job that he wfeints. But it should not seek to ivest itself of responsibility for him until he has had pportunity to obtain work, at reasonable wages, in an ccupation -approximating in character that which he ,ve up when he entered the army, and for which he is least moderately well fitted. It is particularly im ortant that young men of no occupation at all, whose rmy training has changed their outlook on life, and who ave acquired the desire for honest industry, should be tven opportunity to gratify that desire. THE BRITISH ELECTIONS The late British elections resulted, as was universal expected, in the. return of Lloyd George and his alition government to power. It was not expected, Swever, that the coalitionists would carry almost every ing before them in the manner shown in the returns Jilch'1 lfeve just been published.

SECRET DIPLOMACY Since the president's declaration in favor- of the ah* olition of secret compacts among nations there has been a good deal of discussion of the whole (subject of secret diplomacy, and a very general expression of conviction that the light should be shed in upor. compacts and agreements among nations. 1 Not a little of the comment has gone to the length of demanding, not merely that the results of all international negotiations should be made public, but that the negotiations themselves, in all their steps, should be conducted in the full blaze of publicity. Some pains have been taken to, explain that "tne president did not 'mean just this when he made his dee' laration. President Wilson- has been able to create I* the minds of several quite shrewd observers the impiea sion that he is a man of sense. Being, presumably, a man of not less than average intelligence, he could not have intended his remarks on the subject of secret diplo macy to be interpreted as some have interpreted them. Even if he had intended that construction to be placed Within a short time there will be at Versailles one of the most important meetings in the history of nations, and some tremendously important issues will be decided there. There will be determined the method of treat ment to be employed toward a once powerful nation whose effort to impose its own will upon the world by an unparelleled series of horrors and cruelties has end ed in collapse and ruin. There will be decided the man ner in which injured and almost destroyed nations are to be aided in the work of rehabilitation. New nations will be given recognition, and boundaries will be estab- in their intercourse with .each other, and at least the foundation will be laid for a league of civilized powers to maintain the peace of the world. These are matters which concern most vitally every human being. The proceedings at the great conference will, in the main, be open to the public in the sense that the public's representatives, the men of the press, will £e given access, and will be permitted to send out their own accounts of the proceedings, and their own comments thereon. Yet there will be some restrictions. As in m6st. deliberative bodies, certain details will be assigned to committees which may he created from time to time, and the work of these committees will be private. Fur ther, the general conference may, at its pleasure, go into executive session for the discussion of matters which, for the time being, it may not be thought wise to bring to the attention of the public. But this is not all. The work of the peace confer ence will not begin when the conference meets. It has already begun. Just at what particular time it was in itiated it would be difficult to say, but both- consciously and unconsciously there has been going on for many months work which is directly part of the conference work, in the collection of information and the Inter change of views, the presentation of arguments, and so «orth, among the representative men of the nations which will be active participants in the great meeting. Since the arrival of President Wilson in Europe there has been extraordinary activity. Following conferences of the premiers of the entente powers of Europe,' Mr. Wilson has held conferences with the statesmen of France, Italy and "Great Britain, and at these the vital issues which are to cpme before the conference have been discussed. All of these gatherings have been pri vate. The other day, while there was a good deal of noisy celebrating outside, three gentlemen, Messrs. Wilson, Lloyd-George and Balfour, stretched their legs in front of an open fire in a cosy room in Buckingham Palace and talked things over. There were no reporters present, no secretaries—nobody but jutt those three. We are given to understand that they got along very nicely. They would not have got along half so fast orvso well if their conversation had been in public. necessarily and for the time be taken as the result of just such private conversations as were held by those three statesmen the other day. KING GEORGE'S SPEECH The address delivered by King George at the ban quet in honor of President Wilsin was admirable for its brevity, its clarity and its excellent diction. And it was impressive in its generous spirit of comradeship and in the manner in which, in its reference to events and in dividuals, it brought out the common ancestry and com mon heritage of the two great peoples, on which, in a special and peculiar sense, that comradeship rests. Coming from' any Englishman of standing in the councils of his nation, that speech would have been worthy of note. But in this case the personality of the speaker and the surroundings give it added significance. The scene was the banquet hall in a royal palac*. and the surroundings followed traditions of magnificence, some of which were generations old and others which liad been handed down for a thousand years. They were surroundings such as had been devised and used to em phasize the dignity of the monarch of a great nation, and which some monarchs had been short-sighted ienough to interpret as devices to exalt and magnify their own persons. .. The company represented the might and majesty, the dignity and learning, of the great British empire, and the man who sat at the head of the table and de livered this memorable address is the official head "of that empire, whose ancestors for more than a thousand years have been kings and queens of England. And this gathering was held, and this address was delivered in honor of the head of this nation of ours, where kings and emperors are unknown. Words of kindness and cordiality have on other oc casibns parsed between presidents of-the United States and British monarchs. But heretofore the world has seen no such sight as the descendant of Charles I hon oring the memory of John Hampden, and the descendant George ill honoring the memory of Washington, while the same time discussing the fruits of the labors of ttteai men as wholly admirable and beneficial to the hu. man race.
