The English worker distrusts all three of these agencies of Govermument. functioning. He Is unable to see that the ten- dency toward state control of publie utilties has brought him any comfort in wages or hours (as a matter of fact it has bettered his status). He believes that state control means con- trol by politicians, and he distrusts politicians: Mr. Lloyd George, who for a time charmed him; has lost In- fluence with him because of Mr. George's new alliance with the Tories. If state control is under suspicion by the British worker, what, then, is the direction of his radicalism? in the direction of "workers' con- trol" of syndicalism. The British worker wishes to share the manage- ment of the factory witd the capl- talist. He wishes to have a say on wages, hours, discipline, employment and discharge of workers. As soon @as the war is over the great trade unions will be'in control in Britain, The Triple Alliance (the miners, rallwaymen, the transport workers), the Amalgamated Society of Engi- neers and the cotton trades will pe the masters of Great Britain. They represent an organized power, which power js irresitible. They will not attempt to own the factory, nor to organize the market, nor sell ithe product. Their exercise of function (in the immediate future) will stop with what concerns their own status (piece rates, hours of labor, disei- pline, ete.). And in thin syndiealist advance of the trade unions what becomes of Socialism? Actually, the tendency toward state control of industry in- It is!

The author doeg not depict a courageous personality, a leader of forlorn hopes, but. rather he shows & vacillating. character, who in the moment of supreme test lacked the berdism of the martyr. "The truth seems to be," he writes, "that Papi- neau always balked 4 little at the idea of armed rebellion, and that he Was carried off his feet at the end of 1937 by his younger. associates, whose enthusiasm he himself had inspired." This may account for Papineau's over-cautiousness and. for the fact that he sought sanctuary across the frontiér when the rebellion broke out, Subsequetnly his . assistance was solicited by Nelson, the self- styled president of Canada. The author continues: "Papineau seems to have had some dealings with Nelson and Cote, and to have dallied with the idea of throwing in his lot with them; but he soon broke off ne- gotiations, 'Papineau,' wrote Robert Nelson, 'has abandoned us, and this through selfish and family motives regarding the seigniories and inveter- ate love of old, bad French laws.' There is every reason to believe, how- ever, that Papineau had been in com- munication with the authorities at Pe A A A At rr tnt tg i Anything You Bake can be no better than the flour youn use.

I have sometimes seen accounts of that imperial trip to the Holy Land in which it is said that the German thoroughness. and. efficiency were shown by the perfection of the ar- rangements and by the manner in which the time-table was kept.
