By EDWARD W. PICKARD HEAT BRITAIN is now ruled by the first Socialist government in her history. Before ' the "great war such a condition would have been al most unthinkable. Today the British people contemplate it Without fear, al most with complete equanimity. The program of change went through swiit v> and smoothly. The Labor party's resolution of "no confidence" in the Tory government was adopted Mon day night by a vote of 328 to 250, the Liberals flocking with the Laborites on the division and being greeted with loud cheers by the latter. In the gal lery H>e prince of WalA and the duke of York watched,the proceedings with intense interest. Next day Prime Min ister Baldwin' and his cabinet pre 'sented their resignations to the king, Kamsay MacOonald was summoned to Buckingham palace and asked to fohn it new ministry, and promptly accepted. His cabinet, as announced and ap proved by the king, was about as had been forecast, the only surprise being the appointment of Viscount Chelms ford, a Tory peer and former viceroy of India, as tirst lord of the admlrul ly. Mac Donald, In addition to the premiership, holds the post of minister for foreign affairs; Philip Snowden is chancellor of the exchequer; Arthur Henderson Is home secretary; J. H. Thomas is secretary for the colonies; Thomas Shaw is minister of labor; Viscount Haldlne is lord chancellor; Sydney Webb Is president of the board of trade, and J. R. Clynes is lord of the privy seal nnd deputy leader of the house of commons. Two of Mac- Donald's ministers who probably will be made peers are Sir Sydney Olivier, .secretary for India, and Brig. Gen. C. B. Thompson, secretary for air. There was little or ho adverse criticism of the new iirirne minister's selections for government positions, even the rabid Tory press commending them. The ministers got busy with their jobs at once, and parliament was adjourned for a few weeks to permit v them to familiarize themselves with their duties. The first serious matter . that confronts the Labor government Is the strike of railway engineers and tireinen. which began midnight Sun day, despite the efforts of the party leaders to stop It. Within a few days the strike had reduced the railway -efficiency of the United Kingdom 00 per cent and Industry was gravely affected. The trades union congress, whose president is Margaret Bondtield. who also Is undersecretary for labor, appointed an emergency committee to Jirervene when the moment Is consid ered opportune. Foodstuffs for Lon don and the other large cities are be- In* brought in by motor trueki, and Uiany manufacturers organized fleets >f trucks to carry their employees. p!XJ ICOLAI LENIN, creator of the Itussian soviet government, died on ilonday ufter an Illness that had kc|it Mux from bis official work for many months. The Red followers of the premier mourned him deeply, passed by tens of thousands before ids body where It lay In state In the House of Unions in Moscow, and laid him to rest in the kremlin. At writing it in not known who will suc ceed the arch Communist who was abandoning Communist principles In his rule of Itussla because, as be bluntr ly admitted, they would not work. Probably the new premier will be StulUn, minister of' national I tie*, but the place may go to Zlnovlev or Kam nnev. However, there Is said to be a serious split In the ranks of the bol- Hhevists. on« group wishing to con tinue the modified policies of Lenin and the other favoring a return to the old plan of Communist propaganda abroad and efforts to bring about a world revolution. It Is noted, too, that Jhe peasants are steadily moving toward democracy as o(>posed to tiovlrtitfiu. Trotsky, Lenln>©on freiv In establishing the CoaimtftMt regime. Is supposed to be lt» the Cau- casus, t either exiled by the StalHn- Krassln faction or 111, or both. Sotue believe be will make a fight for the control of the Soviets, but the general opinion is that his political strength is gone. SENATOR KINO of Utah, who re cently visited Russia, told the senate Tuesday that he believed the resumption of trade with that country under proper guarantees would help the Russian people in their efforts to oust the bolshevist regime. The conditions he suggested were that American claims of $767,000,000 against Russia be validated and that the United States be protected against hos tile propaganda by the bolshevik'gov ernment and its agents and the Tjilrfl Internationale. The reality of sujh propaganda was further established by quantities of documents submitted by the Stute department last week to the senate subcommittee. According to some of these papers, the aim was an "armed uprising" in this country designed to "destroy the bourgeois government." '■ TEAPOT DOME was the center of great, excitement all lust week. The senate Investigation into the lease of the naval oil reserve there by Al bert B. Fall, then secretary of ofhe interior, to Harry Sinclair brought out sensational testimony; and the end Is not yet, for President Coolldge direct ed the Deportment of Justice to watch the proceedings and to take such ac tion as seemed desirable. Archie Roosevelt, son of the late president, started the week out ifcell by telling the committee of the suspiclrtus circum stances that caused him to resign from the Sinclair company. He said G. D. Wahlberg, Sinclair's private secretary, told him SOB,OOO had been paid to the foreman of Fall's ranch In New Mexi co. Wahlberg said Roosevelt misun derstood him, but he £ave other dam aging testimony. The committee sum moned Fall from the South and also cabled to Sinclair, now In Europe, to come back and produce his private books and papers. This the oil man Said he would do when his business abroad was finished. Ed ward Doheny, another oil magnate, who Is the lessee of a naval oil reserve In California, volunteered to tell the committee all .he could about the transactions. He said that he was the man who loaned Fall the SIOO,OOO which he tised In enlarging and Im proving his ranch, that he did It be cause he and Fall were old friends, ahd that he was Innocent of wrongdoing. In December Fall told the committee he had not received money from either Sinclair. * Senator Walsh informed the senate that he would propose a resolution au thorizing the President to Institute suit to annul the leases and to se cure- an accounting bf all oil taken from the reserves. He declared that he would seek to have such proceed ings conducted Independent of Attor ney General Daogherty. He asserted that there were some features of the Teapot Dome affair "In connection with which the attorney general him self Is under some degree of suspicion and criticism." Interviewed In Paris, Harry Sinclair said the whole affair was bunk and politics, that he got the Teapot Dome lease hodestl/ and squarely and that the government received more than its foil due for It; ' % i IN THE list of ccyigresslonai Investi gations we now. come to that (con ducted by the senate committee on ,.nda w hlch Is trying to find out whether or not the Bok pec.-" nl »* contest was designed to Influence (he senate to vote In favor of American participation In the League of Nations or In the world court. Edward Bok himself was the week's chief witness, and he flatly refused to disclose the amount of money he had contributed to further the Contest, holding that the financing bf his plan was a wholly personal Witter. He did say that he alone haJ paid the expenses of the coutesc that EHhu Root was the only member of the Jury of award whom he nominated, and that be had left all the details of the affair to Mlsa Esther Lape. That lady JI w was a witness, but gave the committee little satisfac tion. It Is feared the Americas pub lic attaches small Importance to this particular Investigation. HEEDING the firm admonitions of the Washington government, the Mexican rebels decided to abundori their contemplated blockade of > the port of Tampico, and also they began the removal of the floating mines they had placed In the Vera Cruz, Frontera %nd Puerta Mexico harbors. The Vevoljitlonlsts claim the occupation of numerous towns, but In the main op erations it seems the federal forces are scoring successes. They have ao far prevented the cupture of the oil fields and they are reported to be ad vancing steadily on Guadalajara, whose occupation is expected soon. In im address in New York Secretury of State Hughes defended the adminis tration's policy In the matter of the Mexican rebellion, declaring It to be "the greatest contribution directly within our power, and In accord with our established traditions and mani fest Interest, to the >catise of world peace." SECRETARV HUGHES and Ambas sador Geddeft signed on Wednesday the treaty concerning liquor search and ship liquor stores, and it will go Into effect without waiting for the for mal exchange of ratifications. Under the agreement suspected liquor smug gling craft flying the British flag are subject to search and -seizure any where within one hour's sailing dis tance from shore. Vessels Improperly detained will be compensated for loss or damage. The United States grants to British ships the right to carry sqpled stores of ship liquors into American ports. WITH the opening of the annual invention of the United Mine Workers in Indianapolis the old strug gle between the conservatives led by President John L. Lewis and the rad icals was renewed, and ugain the rad icals met defeat. The test came on their proposal to reinstate the deposed district officials of Nova Scotia, which was rejected. Mr. Lewis contended that all the officers of the Novn Sco tian body had given adherence to the "red Internationale o" Russia" rather than to the United Mine Workers of America. Again the radicals were beaten In the matter of recognition of Russia, the convention voting for recognition In accordance with the policies enunciated by Secretary of State Hughes.
