New York, Dec. 6th.—Alexander Berk- man and Emma Goldman, his companion in 30 years’ anarchistic aciivity, were sent from the Mainland to the United States yesterday, probably, never io re- turn. Ordered deported for urgiug the overthrow of the Government by vio- lence, they were taken by ferry to the Immigration station at Ellis Island, where they will be held until a ship is available to' send them to Russia from where they came. Their liberty on bail expired when they were surrendered by their Council at the demand of the De- partment ofLabour, London, Dec. 6th.—The Independent Labour Party’s emphatic disapproval of Bolshevism, in its memorandum to send to the International Socialist Congress at Vienna,will have a steadying influence on the British la-our affairs, this being ‘the first elear announcement that Social- “ist leaders in this country lack sympathy with the Soviet form- of Government, and do not favour ‘‘direct action’’ as a substitute for Parliamentary adminis tration. There are, of course, avowed Bolshevists and ‘‘direct accionalists’’ who follow the lead of Tom Jilan, but "the Independent Labour Party’s latest memorandum is important as ic officially 2. eas]X- A NN, expresses the opinion' of such leaders as tamsay, MacDonald and Philip Snow- den, who, until recently, were consid- ered the extremists of the Socialist Party. The memorandum traces the decline of Parliamentary authority in this country, to the support given by Conservatives to the threatened Ulster rebellion of <1914, It states that the deterioration ‘of politics is also due to election tactics ' pursued by the Pre- mier a year'ago and to the predomin- Aange .of exeecutive’ authority especially during the war. It points out, how- ever, ‘that"the weakness of the So- cialist movément cannot be made gond by revolution. The Soviet torm of government is declared not to be the best for industrial democracies. It in- volves methods ot direction which are not good for the State and the resultant governing body would have no direct re- spensibility to'the people. The Indepen- dent Labour Party of Great Britain will strive to adjust the Parliamentary sys- tem to the needs of democracy and sup- plement this system with industrial or- ganizations, ‘‘direct action’’ is rejected as asubstituté for Parliamentary action, but it is one of'several weapons which the working class might be compelled to use against reaction. Thus used, ‘‘direct ac- . tion”” may be regarded as a means of re storing representative government and not destroyingit. I'Jondo.n, Dee; 6th. Captain Wilkins flying in the aeroplane ''Kangaroo”, which, with a erew of 4 men left the Hounslow aerodrome on Novr. 22nd, in an attempt to fly to Awustralia, arrived at Tarano, southern Italy, on Wednesday. London,' DPeéc. sth.—The official an- nouncement that Field Marshal Sir Henry Wiison has gone to Paris in response to an urgent summons to consult Marshal Foch in connection with the Peace Treaty is regarded by some morning newspapers as of considerable significance. It is printed alongside the address in Glasgow last evening by Mr. Bouar Law, in which he said he believed the Allies had the power and if necessary will exercise it, to insure ratification of the Versailles Treaty by Germany. It is suggested that steps to exert pressure on Germany may be :imimitent. There has been enough solemn finger* wagging at the Germans who have come to believe it sate to defy the Allies, says' the Daily Mail, commenting on the situation. A wise and merciful course would be to tell them plainly that if within a fixed time they do not comply with the allied conditions and fulfill the Treaty terms, the blockade will be renewed. -Paris, Dee: sth.—Germany will be called upon in a vigorous Note, which the Supreme Council of the Peace Con- . ference will complete today, to yield im- mediately to the Allied demand thet the protocol of the Versailles Treaty be sign- ed,. according to the KExcelsior. The news paper says it had reliable informa- tion that Washington had advised Ber- lin to adopt @ more conciliatory attitude. Paris, Dee. sth.--The Supreme Coun- cil of the Peace Conference this morn- . ing ronsidered further the Note to be ' sent to Germany regarding the signa- ture to the protocol of the Peace Treaty, but did not complete the do- . cuments participation by Marshal Foch ~in the secret meeting of the Supreme .~ Council yesterday, clearly indicated that- the Council considers military | action necessary in case Germany should commit any new infraction of the Treaty terms, according to ' newspaper here. During the meeting, . says the'Echo de Paris’, Premier Ciem- .~ enceau and Marshal Foch stated that the | unexpectéd departure of the German del- ~ egates from Versailles and the compli- ~cated points raised by the enemy, leave . no doubt whatever about the necessity . of taking action, Itis remarked by the | "'Petit Parisien”’ that Germany considers . it has gone too far, and the newsnaror, . says an official note, has been received | from Berlin announcing that new negoti- ' ators will leave soon for Versailles. Herr Von Simon, Chief of the delegates ' sent from Germany‘to sign the protocol | of the Treaty, and whose departure for . Berlin last weekg brought about strained . relations between the Allies and the Ger- . man Government, will probably be among those sent, it is said. ‘ Chicago, Dec. 6th.—With the -closing -of thousands of essential .industires | throwing 200,000 men out of work and . the adoption ofa six and a half hour business day by stores and office build- ings, Chicago is feeling the first practi- cal, effectsof the coal famine.

More indus:ries will he closed each day as their small supplies | of fuel are exhausted ang thousands more . of employees will be thrown out of ~ work. | London, Dec. 6th.—An Australian ca- ' ble says the Government of Vietoria has . asked Lord Milner, Colonial Secretary, to {- defer the appointment of a successor to | Sir L. Stanley, Governor, pending next ' year’s conference, c(ncerning the rela- . tions between the Commonwealth and ~ the Australian States. Lord Milner re- ~ plied objecting to an indefinite postpone - ment and emphasizing that the existing . constitution should be respected until . altered. Earlier in the year Victoria sug- | gested to the Tolonial Treasury that the Australian Lieutenant Governor might | fill the place in future hitherto filled by . a Governor sent from England. This | proposition received report in certain ' quarters in England, it being asserted | that since Australia had possessed a - Governor, General, there had ceased any | good reason why petty courts should ~continue to exist in Australian capitals.
