Prime Minister's decision to sever his connection with the Independent Labour Party shows bow seriously and disapprovingly he regards its activities, and how anxious he is to be disassociated from its impulsive members. The comments of the Clydesiders and their sympathisers on Mr. MACDONALD's decision will provide some pungent reading. Acid, too, are the exchanges of opinion on the GREY-LLOYD GEORGE differences, but Liberal quarrels are not of such great importance if as is said by some-it is a party, and doomed soon to dis- appear. Mr. MORRISON, Minister of Transport, speaking recently on the political situation, said Britain was moving nearer, and nearer to the two-party system. The reac- tionary elements in the Liberal TPS party are drifting into the Tory camp, and the progressive Liberals are coming over to the Labour party. The citizens of the country will have to choose between Toryism and Socialism. The Labour party cannot water down its Socialistic convictions.
