at that time, too, had not so clearly
exposed its reactionary face to
class-conscious workers.
The Communist Party points out
that the workers who voted for the
labor party in this election are sick
of the imperialist policies of the con-
sentative party, and were not fooled
by the blatant and hysterical cam
paign of Lloyd George for the lib
erals. They voted for the labor
PARTY because of the major parties
the labor party used the most lip
phrases. The vote indicates a left
ward swing in the masses which will
not end with the hypocritical RAM
say Macdonald. Macdonald will be
the next prime minister, ard will
expose himself as the imperialist in
the guise of a pacifist, as no less
willing to support the class collabo-
1ation, sell-out program initiated by
Sir Alfred Mond and approved by
the labor party men in control of
the British Trades Union Congress.
Macdonald VIII Expose Self.
The Communist Party of Great
Britain looks forward to the ap-
preaching Macdonald regime with
confidence that the workers of Great
Britain, having driven to disaster
the Baldwin open imperialists, will
not be long confused by MacDon-
AIDS tricky policy of speaking soft
and hitting hard for the interests of
the exploiting business and land
lord class that runs the British En-
pire. There will be more battle
ships to China and Egypt, more i'm
perialist strategy and diplomacy
leading to war with the United
States imperialists, no alienation Of
unemployment and only cooperation
for the cutting, union smash
ing, Misunderstanding campaign of
British big business.
Pollitt Gets I ,431 Votes.
Harry Pollitt, the Communist can
didate against Ramsay Macdonald,
running in district which was of
course foredoomed to the labor
party because Macdonald couldn't
take a chance on defeat, neverthe-
less polled 1,431 votes.
Most of the conservatives, liberal
and labor party leaders, because of
the policy of playing safe, won their
seats again. But two conservatives
Lady Astor and Sir Austen Cham
berlain, were nearly overwhelmed by
the landslide against their party
Chamberlain's first plurality was re-
ported as so. In disgust he ordered
recount and this time got only At
votes plurality. Sir Thomas Inskip,
attorney general, thought he was
safe, but the wrath of the workers
against this prosecutor of labor was
SO great that his certain" constitu-
ency turned him out, and he will
have to wait for some country pocket
borough by-election to get into par
lament again.
The leaders of all parties but the
Communists have been good provid-
ers for their families. Lloyd Georges
daughter, Megan, and his son, Ma
jor Gwilym, were given seats from
two certain liberal districts. Arthur
Henderson, of the labor party, sent
up both of his sons, William and
Arthur, Jr., from districts where
they couldn't lose. Ramsay Mac
Donald, of course, took care of his
son, Malcolm, in similar fashion.
At 2:30 p. m. the aggregate vote
stood: Labor, 4,976, 4S0; conserva-
tive, 4, $4,000; liberal, 2,S08,584.
