UNPLEASANT QUESTIONS AHEAD

London, July 8.

The Labour Party seems strangely bogged down these days. It ought not to be. It is still in the prime of life-47 years old and it commands some 14,000,000 followers or about 200,000 more than the Conservatives had at the last election.

There will be a general election one of these days, whenever Sir Winston Churchill thinks that the psychological moment has arrived, and the Labour Party should be radiating strength and success. At the moment it is not.
