POLITICAL OUTLOOK
FATE OF BRITISH LABOUR PARTY London, July 21. “Another general election in the autumn of 1930 is possible,” says Mr. J. L. Garvin, writing in the “Observer.” “The Prime Minister, Mr. MacDonaid, and Mr. J. 11. Thomas, Lord Privy Seal, If left to themselves,” Mr. Garvin says, “could have prolonged the Labour experiment with permanent gain to the nation, the Empire, and the world, but Mr. Philip Snowden, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Adullamite backbenchers. forbid.
“The whole- future turns on finance. Mr. Snowden has to satisfy a party winch believes crudely but fervently in a £1.000,000.000 Budget, and in an unlimited social dividend for the ‘Havenot’ at the expense of the ‘Haves.’ “Meanwhile, Mr. . Snowden, in his doctrinal ecstasy for isolated free imports, prejudices the Imperial Economic Conference he extols. By repudiating all preferences, he virtually challenges th ■ self-governing Dominions to withdraw totally the unique and conditional measure of free trade they extend to us.”
