ships, ornaments and electric power; preven-
ton of unemployment; and minimum wages
and maximum hours
One not read these comprehensive terms
without realizing that the Labor party stands for
more than merely shorter hours and higher wages.
It stands for the new ndustrialism, the replace
ment of competition by cooperation. 1t asks not
only the removal of economic barriers, but also of
social barriers. It's ope passion is to make the
world better place for the people who inhabit it.
The laborng man wants to house with a
garden; to send his to the universities; to have
his wife and children go to the seaside in summer;
to enjoy the good things Of life which have been
left for many centuries for the rich alone.
It is the Labor party because it is seeking the
improvement of the laborers standing; not be-
cause it is made up entirely Of laboring men. In
the last election onefourth of the Labor candidates
were professional men or property owners Some

was signed, Lloyd George announced that an eec-
ton would be held. At the same time he made a
plea that the Coalition government, which had
served throughout the war, should be continued in
power during the period Of negotiations and re-
construction.
The issue clear to each of the three parties:
Should they continue to support the Coalition gov
ernment of Lloyd George or should they campaign
independently? Each of the three parties answered
the question differently. The Unionist party decid-
ed to support the Coalition. The Liberal party
split, the majority deciding to follow Lloyd George;
a strong minority, led by Asquith, decided to make
independent campaign. The Labor party de-
cided to withdraw from the Coalition and to MAIN
tain itself as a separate party.
The Labor party conducted the campaign of
1913 on plea of social reform. Their plat
form demanded: A peace based on inter-
national cooperation; withdrawal of troops
from Russia freedom for Ireland and India;
the abolition of conscription; the acquisition
of the great landed estates for the people; the
extension of measures for public health and
public education; free trade; conscription of

test, the Liberal and Labor candidates divide the

into office. have seen the house of commons in
session and have heard the Labor members chal-
lenging the measures of the Coalition government.
They are able, fearless men. Yet there is clearly
the need of some commanding personality
Roosevelt or Wilson-to lead the party to victory.
There is hope that both difficulties may be only
temporary. Significant, indeed is the decline of
the Liberal party from the first party in 1914 to
the, third party in 1919 Many believe that it will
soon consolidate with the Labor party or drop out
OF existence. The support of Lloyd Georges peace
policy by labor is equally significant. Sooner or
later, the prime minister will be deserted by his
more conservative supporters. Where will he turn
for support? Possibly to the Labor party? It
will need only the leadership Of a strong man to
make this party of the people, already the second
party the dominant power in British politics. It
remains to be seen whether Lloyd George any
of the other dominant politicians are big enough
to measure up to the demands Of the hour. ls

The Rise Of the British Labor Party
Workers Now sands-Paorm of Party Stands
for New and Social Freedom

While the Labor party was campaigning on
program of social reform, the Coalition max
ing political capital of the victorious end of the
war. Their chief planks were, "Make Germany
pay" and "Hang the kaiser" It was obvious that
the Coalition, with all the prestige of victory be-
hind them, would carry the polls.

IN POWER IN COMMONS
And striking victory it Altogether, 532
supporters of the Coalition elected to the
house of commons. Only less striking, however,
was the success Of the Labor party. They increas-
ed their strength from 38 members to So, and in
an electorate of 100000 polled 100000 votes.
The Free Liberals, who followed Asquith in oppos-
ing the Coalition, returned only 26 members, and
were dubbed the "Wee Frees" Thus the Labor
party became the second party, and the official
opposition ~
Their record opposition party is instructive.
They have opposed the extension Of conscription,
the maintenance of army against Russia, and
the introduction of protective tariff under the
guise of imperial preference. They have urged

. Asquith, though leader of the Liberal party, de-
cded in 1915 that the could best be carried on
by establishing Coalition cabinet. Accordingly,
the Liberal cabinet resigned and cabinet was
formed containing not only Liberal leaders but
Unonists and Labor leaders well. It is inter-
estng to notice that the post of food controller,
position like that of Hoover in America, was held
throughout the war by j. P. Clynes, Labor leader.
LABOR LEADER GIVEN
PLACE IN CABINET =
In 1916, under pressure from Lord Northciffe
Lloyd George and Bonar Law, Asquith resigned in
favor of Lloyd George. The new prime minister,
however, continued the Coalition, and in the new
war council, which he formed as the real govern
ing body of the British empire, one of the five
places, was given to Arthur Henderson, the secre-
tary of the Labor party.

naturalization of industry.
In the United States labor is a political force,
though not political party. This is due to the
influence of Samuel Gompers, who believes that
labor should remain unorganized politically and
throw it's support from one party to the other as
party policies at each election determine.
In England the opposites theory has been fol-
lowed. There labor, instead of choosing at each
election between the two older partes often merely
a choice between two evils, has set up it's own
party organization In each election there is a
Labor party, with it's own platform and it's own
candidates. Starting weak third party, the
Labor party is today the second party in Great
Britain, and is rapidly increasing in influence.

10 appreciate the rise of
the Labor party. we must
go back to the political situ-
alton in Great Britain when
war broke in 1914. Three
parties deserve notice: The
Liberal party, the Unionist
party and the Labor party.
Of these the Liberal party
was in power, with Asquith
as prime minister. Of the
two older parties it would be
called the Progressive" par
ty in America. It stood for
free trade with all the world,
and for home rule for Ire
land. 1t was the successor,
in thought if not in blood, of
the old Whig party which
had asserted the rights of
the people against the king.
The radical Lloyd George
was a powerful member of
the cabinet. The Unionist
party, in a similar way, may
be regarded as the successor
of the old Tory party and
the upholder of conservative
traditions. It favored low
protective tariff and, as the
party name suggests, a con-
tinuance of the union with
Ireland. Its leaders were
Balfour and Bonar Law. Of
the Labor party little could
be said. The two older par
ties completely overshadow-
ed it.
