men they are practically hopeless, as is ad-
mtted by Arthur McManus, the leader of the
party in England. Their programme as out
lined by him is something as follows While
bringing up the young and the adolescent
in the principles Bolshevism and spread
ing class consciousness in the lower middle
class, which has always been the most dis
contented. they prefer for the present to use
the working classes as unthinking weapons
against the bourgeoisie. At present they are
busy provoking discomfort by every means in
their power. McManus and his fellow lead
ers admit that they have several thousand
emissaries now at work In all parts of in
dustrial England whose sole duty is to hang
about public houses and street corners in the
character of unemployed ex-service men
circulating real and imaginary grievances
against the bourgeoisie with the assistance
of innumerable half pints of beer. They do
not hold meetings in the ordinary sense Of
the word. having found that they get bet
ter results by talking to only three or four
men at time. Another large body being
usually the better speakers among them
holds street corner meetings outside factory
gates and similar localities while yet others
devote their whole attention to getting
elected to posts in the various trade unions
and there instillng their doctrines into
the more orthodox labor groups.
