Far more striking and more important is the rise to the position of second party in the State of the Labour party, organ isclat tirst, at least-on a class basis, said Mr Chamberlain. There was danger that the line of cleavage ia politics should no longer be vertical through the class, but horizontal be- tween classes, I think the danger is less for the doctrines of the Labour party. while they attach many who do not belong to the classes of manual labourers, repel great rasses of manual workers themselves. After all, the natural, political divisions are those of temparament and character. They are not those of interests or of class.
