(Canadian Press Despatch) London, May 9.---After the meet- ing to considér the terms of peace imposed upon Germany by the Al- lied and assoclated nations, the na- tional executive committee of the British Labor party last night fssu- ed a manifesto declaring the treaiy in some essential particulars *op- posed to the declarations of Presi- dent Wilson, of the inter-allied lab- or conference, and the Berne con- ference, and very defective from the standpoint of world peace." . "It bears the evidence of a com- promisé by capitalism and imperial- ism, which still dominate European states," the manifesto declared. 'Any permanent denial of Germany of an opportunity to become a man- datory under the Jeague of nations must cause Jeasosy and unrest leading to furth®p'international dis- putes." Other points criticized were the failure to give Germany representa- tion on the reparations commission and the omission of provisions for a progressive limitation of arma- ments by the other sighatories to the treaty.

London, May 9.---THN8 Morning Post devotes its principal editorial to the Paris despaich of Herbert Bayard Swope regarding the deei- sion of the Council of Four upon the final reparation terms. The Morning Post says: "The document has all appearances of authenticity," and proceeds: "The tenderness to German interests ex- pressed in this agreement confirms our impressions of the whole course of the Peace Conference----a peace with trategic terms against which Marshal Foch makes the protest of a soldier and patriot. We believe the reason. to lie chiefly in the pow- er of the International Financies. "As for England, which has been badly represented throughout, she wil be lucky if #he gets enough even to cover the damages to her property. Indeed, it is rumored that some of our geniuses in Paris have been actually proposing to lend Germany money or to guarantee a loan, part of which Germany would pay back as indemnity. If this pro- posal were to succeed, we would ar: rive at a position that in the end, we would have to pay an indemnity to Germany."

Ottawa, May 9.--In the Housa yesterday afternoon Hon. Arthur Melghen explained on the first reading the act respecting the dis- qualification of military defaulters. "This comprises those who failed in their military obligations under the Military Service Act," said Nr. Meighen. 'The bill provides for the disqualification for 15 years from holding office under the .

But those who have been sentenced and have served their sentences, those who surrendered under the amnesty proclamation, or those who 'were apprehended un- der the M.S.A. and actually served afterwards in the forces, or those who have satisfied the terms of le- gal convictions, become relieved of this disqualification."
