At the same time the visit- ing Britishers will receive assurance that the American labor movement does not approve the principal of a zeneral strike.

Eventually this brought on the strike experiment, the leaders of labor being too busy elsewhere and too deeply compromised in the minds of their followers to be able to head it off. Leaders Needed Places. In the beginning of its growth, as Shaw Desmond #aid. the Labor party strove for the time when “every little Mary Ann and Tommy should have three meals a day and a clean pocket handkerchief to wipe their dear little noses.”” This worthy aim succumbed before the more pressing problem of finding places and dignity for political labor leaders. The Labor party clung to abstract Socialist ideals and talked big about putting the program of in ternational socialism into effect. but the rank and file of British workers was not following the argument, al- though they continued to support thelr leaders with votes. Robert Blatchford described the situation deftly when he remarked that “what was troubling the factory | zirl was not either the downtrodden | proletariat or the theory behind inter- | national socfalism, but ‘what she was | £oIng to put in her stomach and what the duke sald to the duchess in the conservatory after dinner.” So of the | British workingman. His aspira- tions were those of the stomach rather than the soul, and that was natural. For long it has been the custom of British labor leaders to sneer at the “materialistic” trade unionism _of America, but it should be noted that the American movement is still doing business at the old stand. unembar. rassed by a costly failure.

Mr. Massey's appointment will hs popular in Ottawa and Washing- ton.

In the fields of industry, art, com- merce, politics and academics he has heen exceedingly active. His versatility will be quite equal to| the cosmopolitan atmosphere of | ‘Washington. And if wealth is a factor he also has that qualification. To large pri- vate means of his own there was added this Summer by inheritance half of the more than million dollar estate of the late Chester D. Massey, whose eldest son he was.
