That disease, despite the magic incantations of Senator Wagner and the Industrial Labour Board, is approaching crisis. Strikes and lockouts are symptoms of it which only the "ignorant and uninformed" can watch untroubled. The Yale branch of the National Student League may have been rash, although I do not think so; they may have risked their academic futures too recklessly, although we must respect them for doing...
Only England remains to enact the final tragedy of a trusting proletariat; the Labour Party is all that remains of the vast labor movement of the early twentieth century. The murder of an already senile Labour Party is perhaps not far off. Recent municipal elections, good indicators, have been strongly Labour.

Cole and his companions of the left wing who plumped for a frontal attack and a use of force if thwarted in legislative demands. If Sir Stafford Cripps can be considered typical of present, Labour party opinion, the only slogan to which it will have any right will be "On to Bigger and Better Defeats." Only a political miracle can save the party from collapse if it breaks down before the issue once more; only a series of unexpectedly crude tactics by the Conservatives will...
