The Times publishes the first of a series of articles by Dr. Arthur Shadwell after a tour of the industrial areas. The writer closely analyses the revolutionary movement in Britain, and finds a maze of activity, with little cohesion. Individualism is rampant among the Communistic societies. ' Although the headquarters are in London, the chief stronghold is on the Clyde, where there is explosive material of a prodigious circulation of literature. The Moderates think that acute unemployment will prove a' match to the powder magazine. Moreover, sixty thousand Sinn Feiners drill regularly in Glasgow in their own halls. Dr. ShadweU does not find much of the most extreme tendency amongst genuine unionists; indeed, , "Bolshevik stock" has fallen heavily in Britain and on the, Continent. He welcomes the activities of the Labour colleges, with their full-time tutors and strong propagandainfluence, because if is convinced that only passion* stands for bloody revolution, while reason makes for reform. [Dr. Arthur Shadwell, M.A., M.D., LL.D., author and journalist, is a wellknown writer on scientific, sociological and industrial questions, and has travelled to investigate these matters in Europe and North America.]
