' LABOR WAR AIMS REPORT ADOPTED. London, England ( Saturday ) - - Practically unanimously, tha (lel«gat«i at yesterday's labor meetings, rspra Mntinf 3,250 wothais, adopted tha war aims memorandum draftad by tha executive committee of tha Labor Party and tba parliamentary commit tee of tha Trade Union Congress. Tha reading of • latter from tha Prima Minister vaa reteived in sil ence, axcapt for an occasional. Hear! Hear! The Prime Minister'! letter stated that a declaration of the Alliea' war aims can, at coarse, only be made in agreement with the other allied *a tiona. The queetion of issuing a fur ther declaration on thia subject is one which is constantly kept in view by the allied governments, but it ia not one about which it is poeaibla for the Britiah Government to speak by iteelf. He had looked forward to an inter change of views on this subject with the delegates appointed by the Rua ■ian Government to attend the confer ence in Paris last month, but the ab sence of any representatives from Russia made such a consultation im possible. i w»s never mo.e convincea uian I am today," wrote Mr. Lloyd George, "not only that the purpoees for which the allies are fighting are not imper ialistic, or vindictive, but are essen tial for the future freedom and peace of mankind. The ideals for which we are fighting today are the same as those for which the British Empire entered the war." The memorandum adopted largely agrees with the draft issued Aug. 10 the most important change being that instead of • demand for the return of Alsace-Lorraine to France it is pro posed this should ue left to the in habitants of these provinces to de cide upon. This change was made to bring British Socialists into the line with the French Socialists. The original document was drawn up by sub-committe«. of the executive committee of the Labor Party, in cluding Mr. Henderson, Mr. J. J. Wardle, new parliamentary secretary to the Board of Trade, Mr. Ramsay Mjcdonald, Mr. F. W. Jowett, Mr. J. H. Roberts, Labor Minister, and Mr. Sidney Webb. The next important step followed the Trade Union Congress in Black pool, in September, when a sub-com mittee of six representatives each of the Labor Party executive committee and the parliamentary committee of the congress, with their respective secretaries, was appointed to consid er the possibility of securing an agree ment as to the peace and war aims, between the warking classes of the allied nations. The Labor Party was represented on this sub-committee by Messrs. Werdle, Ramsay Mecdonald, Sidney Webb, Purdie, McGurk, and Hutchinson, with Mr. Henderson as secretary, while the congress parlia mentary committee comprised Messrs. Will Thome, W. H. Thomas, Harry Gosling J. Hill, J. W. Ogden, F. Bram ley, and C. W. Bowerman. It is this body which revised the original docu ment on war aims to the form in which it has been adopted. Mr. Arthur Henderson, who moved the adoption of the memorandum, ripened by defining the Labor peace policy under three heads: 1. Essen tial importance of securing a settle ment ai speedily as possible, founded on democracy and security. 2. That territorial adjustments must .not b« dictated by annexationist or imperial ml designs, or for political reasons, but in the ir.teresU of progressive civilisation and world peace. 3. That | the trade policy ufter the war must not be founded on the economic op pression or the commercial isolation of the German people.
