INTERNATIONALISM.

NEW LABOUR OBJECTIVE. (BT CABU!— PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (AUBTRALIAX AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, April 5. Mr F. W. Jowett, ex-Minister and President of the Independent Labour Party Conference, declared that the right to live was a fundamental demaud. Labour must keep it in the forefront and boldly announce that the' next Labour Government with or withoirt a majority in the House of Commons was determined to take decisive action in the direction of Socialism. During the past five years British workers' wages were reduced by the colossal total of £590,000,000. An increase in workers' incomes of 5s weekly for each child out of State revenue would increase the workers' spending power and bo sufficient to remove all unemployment. He agreed with the American Ambassador, Mr A. B. Houghton, that European' statesmen Bad learned nothing by the war. The world was back to its pre-war rivalries. -. The present Capitalist policies must inevitably drown Europe in a sea of blood unless international labour organised for resistance.. The Party stood for Internationalism as well as Socialism.
