elections. The convention, ever
since the federation was formed,
has been held in, November after

federation will be a potent factor in
next year's congressional elections
and that it will be a powerful aid
to the administration in maintain
ing control of Congress unless the
present harmonious relations be
tween the White House and the
leaders of the organization are
ruptured.

tion condemning -Judge Hayden of
the Roxbury District Court of Bos

BRITISH STATESMAN SEEKS
EARLEY END TO CONFLICT!
LONDON. Jan. 21.—The strong’
jest impetus to a renewal of >'he
boated discussion of rival
schools toil the whir policy M the
Allies was provoked yAt'erday from
a most unexpected quarter hy the
publication of a long letter “from
the Marquic of Lansdowne, strcteg-i
ly pleading for a revision of life
Allies’ war aims and an attempt to
attempt to obtain peace before “the
prolongation of the war leads to
the ruin of the civilized world.”
The Marquis of Lansdowne is a
typical representative of tho old
Tory party. He was a member of
Asquith's ftoalitioil adhiimsiratioil
and was secretary tor foreign af
fair ih Lord Salisbury’s ana •Bat
four's ittihsteries. He was Viceroy
of India and governor-generai of
Canada. He was the last public
rhan to be suspected of pacifist ten
dencies.
His letter gives formal adhesion
to President Wilson's poliv of a
league of nations and he asks:
“Whr.t will be the value of the
blessings of peace ;o nations so ex
hausted that they can scarcely
stretch forth a hand to grasp
them?"
ALLY OF AUSTRIA,
SAYS LONDON POST
oONDON, Jail. 21.—The Vatican
is accused In an editorial in The
Morning Poet of being implicated
in the propaganda, which the news
paper says was largely responsible
for the lecent Italian revcrces. Re
viewing what it describes as Vati
can machinations, . The Post de
clares that its political activities
during the war "can by no sophist
ry be regarded as consistent with
the principle bf neutrality.”
“From the beginning,” says The
Post, "the Vatican has leaned t6
Austria's side and lately has furtiv
ely, but actively, espoused this Aus
trian cause.”
The newspaper calls on the Brit
ish government to look into the
matter and demands that the Vati
can declare definitely on which side
it stands.

Lord Lansdowno Contends that
an rmaiodiato stimulus probably
w<)uld be given to the peace party
in Germany if it were understood:
"First, that the annihilation of
Germany as a great power was not
desired; secund, that wo do not
seek to impose upon the German
people A form of government
against their choice; measure, we
do not desire to deny to Germany
her place among the great commer
cial countries; fourth, that we are
prepared after the war, in concert
with other powers, to examine the
international problems Conner fe-.l
