POLITICAL SITUATION
Sir,—'l would give the following six reasons for the political landslide in answer to “S.T.B.’s” query of October 6:—(1) Labour leaders devitalise the movement by making overtures to the Opposition for a, coalition; (2) Social democratic tendency of renouncing the Socialist programme for reform, thereby confusing their, supporters; (3) repeated attacks through - the “Standard” upon the Soviet Union, (4) their refutation of original plank in platform to introduce monetary reform; (5) the Labour movement becomes negative and unattractive when its leaders compromise with the Opposition: (6) regementation of workers into compulsory unions. which deprives workers of democratic privileges as leaders have become yes men.—Yours, etc.. LEE JACK. Methven, October 6, 1943.
