In the House Of Commons to Arthur
Henderson when the group decided to
support 1t. After the Russian revolu-
ton he tried to 20 to Russia to discuss
with delegates from other countries a
basis of peace agreeable to the workers,
but the crew Of the steamer refused
to man the ship II he came aboard.
Often his life was in danger but he
went about the country making anti
war speeches, after his return from
foreign travels. The resentment against
him caused him to be OuSted from
Parliament by $4,000 votes IN the cleo
ton following the armistice. He tried
10 get back In a by-election but WAS
badly beaten. Then reaction began to
set In and he was sent to Parliament in
1922 In the election which followed the
crash OF the Lloyd George coalition.
The Labor party, in that election,
sent l42 members to the Commons and
they became the Opposition party.
Macdonald, the man most bitterly con-
demned and arraigned a few years
before, was elected their leader and

premier. Mr.. Macdonald was succeeded
by Stanley Baldwin, who formed the
Conservative government which lasted
until the recent elections when Mac
Donald again was asked by the King
to head new government.
Personally, as well as politically, Mr..
Macdonald is one of the most pictur-
esqe men in the public life of the world
today. He is perhaps the most travelled
premier Great Britain has ever had.
He is of winning appearance and per-
sonality a dignified. nnassuming. yet

People of the south, especially Texas,
never have condoned such action, the
resolution said, and such recognition OF
Representative De Priests wife was
described as calculated to greatly dis

cause untold bloodshed.

1t was minority government he
formed, opposed in its major aims by
the Liberals and Conservatives alike.
So there was no fear Of capital levies
being imposed or other radical schemes
being put into operation.
Mr.. Macdonald had declared that the
Labor party would take Office, II given
the chance, in order to render national
service. He then paved the way for the
Kings invitation to form the first Labor
government by moving ON January "a,
