The General Committee of the Trades Union Council likes to call itself, we believe, the Spear Night Editor (Wanchai Office); Hend of the Labour Movement and "auch-like" things. Moreover, a split Street between the Trades Unions and the Parliamentary Labour Party might well be the death of the Labour Movement. This great movement has been compared to a megalo anuras, which has a huge body and avery amai bend. The Trade Union section is the body, and the Parliamentary group from whom Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD picks his associates in the head. The two are in conflict, and, in danger of separation. To lose one's head is always i serious matter, and to prevent such a catastrophe to the 'Party it looks as if Mr. RAMBAY MACDONALD will have to "leave higher statesmanship alone and concentrate upon trying to keep his political, megalosaurus intact.
