It is interesting to note that Mr. Lloyd "George's hand has lost none of its cun ning, and also that he recognises he can not be merely a casual visitor if he desires to retain his influence unimpaired." The speech he made on unemployment was one of his happiest efforts THE UNEMPLOYMENT DEBATE

Of course, Mr. Bromley and others of his class are not fair specimens of Labour or even of Trade Union-leadership. He and his friends are extremista fireb and always, and their judgment is, there fore, necessarily at fault. The mistake in the present instance was in trying to use an incident in Ireland for political purposes in relation to Trade Unionism in England. This is not only bad tactics; it is infinitely worse, being glaringly stupid.
So long as the Labour Members could limit themselves to platform speeches and to general declarations of policy they were able to keep up the illusion that if they had the ordering of things they could cure our industrial woen From that point of view, it was a mistake for Mr. Arthur Henderson to demand two days for the debate on unemployment.
