NOTTINGHAM Ems Jan. 23.-Thc
Labor Party met in a National confer
once today that is likely 20 have consc-
uuences affecting The next several gen
erations Of British politics. The chief
question before the three-day meeting
+ whether or not the Labor Party shall
cease TO be simply the representatives
AZ organized labor and kindred socic-
Tics and become instead a full-fedged
political organization seeking votes
wherever they may be found.
The decision is expected TO be IN
favor Of the big step forward The
party's executive committee has recon-
mended it, They believe The Labor
Party. now f. wears old, is destined 10
play as big a part In the present cen
fury as the Liberal Party played in
the nineteenth century. Their goal.
frankly admitted, Is a labor govern
inent and they have confidence that the
GOAL is not as far distant as IL may
seem.
The recent alignment OF the big co
operative societies with the Labor
Party. bringing the number OF votes
represented up to about 100000, Is one
cause for this confidence. Broadening
The party's PROGRAM still further. the
leaders claim should give them SUM-
cient votes 10 sweep the country.
Aside from this predominant ques-
ton, the conference has many live is
sues before H. One Is whether or not
Labor Party representatives should
withdraw from the present Coalition
government There are several resolu-
lions, variously worded 10 this effect
before the meeting. The British Social
lst Party offers one reading in part:
This conference holds that the
methods employed 10 remove Mr. Hen
dersOn from the War Cabinet when
setting in perfect accord with the decl-
sions OF the Labor Party, prove that
participation in the government and
fidelity to the labor movement are in
compatible"
The Willesden labor party has a re-
solution putting the question In this
blunt fashion:
"Thiy conference demands that all
members OF the Labor Party resign
their ministerial Offices under the pres
ont government
