THE LEADERSHIP OF THE BRITISH LABOR PARTY V4s55,

- No. A 49, - - -
JealOusies, to suppress our egOists
and to organize ourselves in the
workshop as in the party for the
triumph of the common cause"
In other words, while British cap
italism remains in full possession of
the factories and the food, the parlia-
mentary leaders of the British Labor
Party strive to inaugurate an era of
industrial peace in which a striking
worker is to be branded as a traitor
to the "public welfare" Ye godsl
The federation of British industries
and the unemployed and starving
British workingclass are Jumped to-
gether as mutual benefciaries of the
"cause"
Reason For Tolerance.
Is it any wonder that there is no
panic in the ranks of the British cap
italists? No enmity, but only kindly
tolerance for leaders whose industrial
policy consists Of the establishment
of Cancellation boards to which the
workers will humbly appeal when
conditions become too onerous and
who denounce the workers impa-
thence with such tactics as "egoism"
and disregard of the discipline Of
service"
The duty of revolutionary party
in capitalist pa.%aments is to arouse
the workers against the capitalist
system; to stimulate all of their ac-
tivities, to mobilize them for the
final struggle, to destroy the last
vestige of respect for and fear of
capitalism in the minds of the work
ers, to furnish a program that by
its clearness and uncompromising
character stands out as the next step
which the workers must take on the
road to victory. The Labor Party
leaders deny the need for any strug-
gle except that for "public respect"
Self-Deception.
The British Labor Party is deceiv-
ing itself as well as the working
class. It apparently does not under
stand that the stagnation of British
industry, unemployment, loss of
economic power by the unions and
consequent defeats have had the
usual result in countries where the
workers possess the franchise
they swing to parliamentarianism as
the only available method of securing
any immediate relief. They hope the
government will be able to do what
they could not do with their unions
alone while the factories were closed
put an end to the increasing tyran-
MES of the employers.
They expect the Labor Party gov
eminent to take the side Of the
workers in the strikes that are inc
vitable and if the leaders were not
Of the type that values the SNUG ap-
prevail of the middle class more than
the esteem of the workers, they
would, as a political tactic sure of
success, use the government as lever
with which to pry maximum conces-
sions in the form of wages and work
ing conditions from the employers.
A government with a policy of this
kind need not long remain a minori-
ty bloc in parliament in country
where the majority of the population
are members of the workingclass.
Unable To Lead.
But the leadership of the British
Labor Party is constitutionally un-
able to have confidence in the driv-
ing power of the masses or to mobil-
ize that power.
The left wing of the party may get
control of the organization but never
Of the leaders. Their route is al
ready charted. They will adhere to

the parliamentarians consider a la
Dor party government such victory
for the workers that everything
should be subordinated to strengthen
ing its hold on the parliamentary ma
chinery.
Objection to This Policy.
There could be little objection to
this if there was any reason to be-
lieve that with such majority the
leadership Of the labor party would
be spurred to real assault on Brit
ish capitalism.
The strength Of any workingclass
lies in its economic organizations and
no political party which, previous to
the overthrow of the capitalist state,
minimizes the necessary activity Of
the trade unions is a workingclass or
revolutionary party in the real sense
Of the term.
1t may mouth, thru its leaders, the
phrases of the social revolution, but
when it discourages because it fears
for its parliamentary prestige-an-
other phrase for the favorable or
neutral attitude of certain capitalist
strata-the use of the strike weapon
against sections Of the capitalist
class, it confesses that it differs from
its capitalist competitors for parlia-
mentar honors in minor details alone.
DiscOuraging Strikes.
The leadership Of the British La
Dor Party, in addition to lauding par
liamentary action to the exclusion of
all other means, expressing it's firm
conviction in the basic goodness of
modern democratic institutions in
Guiding government, before and dur
ing election, has, since it assumed of
flee, discouraged to an extent not yet
fully known in America, the new
spirit of militancy that has shown
itself in two great strikes-the rail-
waymen and the lockers.
1t is from the official organ of the
Independent Labor Party to which
the intellectual leaders of the British
Labor Party belong that we gain an
accurate estimate of their knowledge
of and loyalty to the principles and
tactics of the class struggle.
Writing in the "New Leader" Just
before the railway strike, BraiIsford
accuses the union Of betraying the
Labor Party because it proposed to
strike to resist a reduction in wages.
It is hard to discern any difference
between this official expression of the
British Labor Party leaders and that
of any employers publication in the
United States:

mood of panics What is at
stake is the whole future of this
machinery of cancellations No
one can question the abstract right
of the Associated Society to reject

satisfied. But it is clear that if
they do so the moral authority of
these decisions is destroyed. The
real sanction for the working of
Cancellation is public opinion.
Sooner or later the discipline of
service must replace the disci-
pline Of the class struggle. -
