On Tuesday the Executive of the Labour Party met again - in

London, passed a vote of confidence in Mr. Henderson, and miter- ated.their opinion that the British. Labour Party ought to be repre- sented. at Stockholm. Now, however, that the Government have clearly expressed their policy, and it is known that nearly all the Allied countries are opposed to the Stockholm Conference as being merely a happy hunting-ground for Germany, we may expect that not very much more will be heard of the matter as far as it concerns ourselves. -Of course some rift in the Labour world may remain as a result of these unfortunate occurrences, but it cannot be very grove, for the vast majority of working men have made up their minds as to the true character of the Stockholm enterprise, and as to the strong undesirability of our having anything to do with it.
