A good example of this make-belief. was supplied by the Council of the Trades Union Congress responsible for the General Strike. They, pretended to be able to speak for the whole of organised labour, whereas they spoke only for them selves and a small number of persons with revolutionary views. In the same way we find rabid teetotallers scheming to impose Prohibition upon Great Britain under the guise of Local Option. They profess to have behind them the strength and force of religion represented by the Churches, but the idea is ridiculous. Leagues and Societies and Unions abound for the promotion of this or that object dear to the hearts of comparatively small groups,
