Laski's declaration appears in the review Of Pro

very much importance. It serves, however, as
foil for an expression OF Laskis new conclusions.
Although his conclusions expressed in the COM
picated language of academic writing, yet they are
clear, sharp and decisive. Laski writes:

he means by words and phrases like solidarity
common interest," see no unity of any kind in
society except what is put there by men, and see
none possible Of achievement except by complete

Professor MacIver seems to to write as
though there Is somehow a unity in society which

Under the title this article, John May
- nard Keynes time ago wrote an article in
which he indicated that British liberalism was in
critical state and the old theory of laissez faire was
yielding to the ideas developed by the presentday
order of monopolistic imperialism and fascism on
the one hand and the proletaran revolution on the
other That this crisis is deepgoing one is proved
bytthe fact that in England the classic land OF
liberalism the liberal party has been RELOCATED to
the position of third party and the labor party has
forged ahead of it. In addition to that there is an
internal crisis within the liberal party which indi
Gates a further polarization of liberalism towards
the labor party on the one hand and towards the
conservative party on the other This inner crisis
takes the form of a fractional fight between Lloyd
George and Asquith and then between Lloyd George
and Earl Grey.
LIBERALISM was long bankrupt in fact in Eng

Shadow of death them because they stood

And organized their class to fight for food.

Because they pointed to the martyred slain

Waiting beyond their barred cells in the gloom;
Shadow Of death on them, the stranaed fear,
