Allies Answer To Brockdorll
(Special to The Guardian PAR-IS, May 15.-The Council ot' Four has declined to consider thc note from Count von Brockdorff llantzenu chlcr of thc German peucc mission, relativi- to international labor legislation. The text of the reply to thc Gcrnlan noiu sent by t.\l. Clelncllcr-nu follows;
“Sir.-l have the honor to lwknow-
lcdgc the receipt of your letter of May 10th in regnrtl to intcrnntlonul labor legislation together with tt drnft of on international agreement of labor law. The reply ol the Allied and Associated governments is as fol- lows. 'l‘hcy tuko the note of thc do olaration made by the Gcrnwiu doin. gates that domestic, peace and the ntl- vnncoment of mankind depend upon
.the adjustment of the labor question
and they are convinced that such ntl justmrmt will be rendered easier in tho futllre than in the past as men's minds are freed from the fear of war
and lndustry is relieved of the burden ot' armaments which German lnllltnr. lsul imposed upon them. I-'nrt 13 ot the draft oi' the conditions of pence provides a means by which such a.! jusimont can be made and section 11 ot' this port of the draft lays down the principles which will , progcssiv<»l_v guido thc labor orgnnlzntlou and tnr. league of notions.”
Article 427 indicates clearly that
the enumeration of the principles set forth is not exhaustive. The purpose of thc labor organizations is thni it should protect thc constant tie-.'clop~ ment of the intcrnationni inbox' lc- gimc. The labor convention has bee: inserted in the irenby of pence, sl.; Germany will therefore be called upon to sign it. ln thc future the rights of your country to participate in thc labor organization will bc secured so soon as she is admitted into thc league of nations in accordance with
nrtlcln l of the treaty. i
