MACDONALD COUP BEAT COMMUNISTS His Comeback at Parley of Labor Party Is Blow for X His Nation. BY A, C. GARDINER, England’s Greatest Liberal Editor. By Oable to The Star. LONDON, October 3.—In the lan- guage of the prize ring, Ramsay Mac- Donald has had a brilliant ‘“‘come- back’ at the Liverpool conference of the Labor party. He hastcompletely routed the Reds and re-established his supremacy over the Labor movement, representing the principle of constitu- tlonalism as against the advocates of revolution. S Day by day Mr. MacDonald has de- livered smashing blows agalnst the whole bolshevist movement within the Labor party and has secured the over- whelming support of the conferance. The result leaves the Communists practically outlawed from the party officially. Can’t Suppress Activities. Their activitles in the trade unions, however, cannot be suppress their efforts now will be dir smashing the political labor ment by incendiarism and direct tion within thi . but the situa tion ha: erpool, the main move: Iabor now is definitely comm adherence to constitutional ment. Not the least dramatic episode of the prolonged encounter was Mr. Mac- Donald’s specific charge that Com- munist leaders took orders and re- ceived cheques from Moscow. It is significant this allegation was mnot challenged. and public comment is that if Mr. MacDonald knows the facts he ought to expose the names. Such an_exposure of agents of Mos- cow would do much to discredit their activities in the eyves of labor. It would serve also to illuminate the meaning of the Soviet external policy. The key to that policy Is disintegra- tion of the British system, which is regarded as the corner stone of the present world economic structure and the most vulnerable to attack. Disruptive Propaganda. In China, Indis, Persin and Asia Minor—wherever the British interest are involved—a vast, incessant, dis- ruptive propaganda is being carried on, always directed primarily against British prestige. The aim of the Com- munists here is to foment this prop- aganda from within by giving the appearance of labor support to every revolutionary movement in any part of the world where British interests are invoived. Not the least important feature of the Liverpool conference s the em- phatic disassociation of labor from this incendiary scheme. e publication of Viscount Grey's book has been one of the conspicuous events of the week. It made a pro- found impression on_the public mind by its luminous simplicity and disarm- ing candor. It is universally agreed that it presents an unanswerable case for the pre-war policy of Great Britain and that it reveals Grey throughout as struggling with a single-minded purpose to preserve the peace of Eu- rope. Coal Trade Subsidy. The subsidy to the coal trade has net served to lift the depression in that industry. The public was grave- 1y disturbe Friday by announce- ment of the shutdown of the Powell- Duffryn mines in South Wales, 5,000 miners being thrown out of work This is the most serious stoppage vet announced, although hundreds of pits have been closed The Powell mines are among the best equipped in the world and the faflure is due to the disappearance of demand for Welsh coal. During September £1,500,000 sterling was paid out in government subsidy, but the effect upon general conditions in the coal industry is not appreciable. (Copyright. 1925.)

Wellington Roe Inc. and Affiliated Land Companies Fort Lauderdale, Florida Seeing Americans Eat Corn on Cob New Sport in Paris By the Assoctated Press. PARIS, October 3.—Watching Amer- fcan visitors eat corn on the cob fs one of the Autumn pastimes of the Paris boulevardiers. A grillroom on the Boulevard des Itallens which specializes in American dishes leaves its curtalns always drawn, so that all who pass in the street may watch the diners. This, however, has not discouraged the Americans, who want the excellent roasting ears, oyster stews, Ameri- can “ham and eggs’ and griddle akes, with genulne Vermont apples, the place offers. Frenchmen apparently, too, have a liking for most of the American dishes which this grillroom serves, but few of them care to tackle corn on the cob. S Is and many other French delicacies are fairly messy, but they are French, and there is something so comical to a French. man in eating corn off the ear that he hesitates to make the attempt in public.
