POLITICAL ISSUES
IO THS EDITOR.
Sir,—The next General Election may occur at any moment, and the circumstances and divided state of the opposition are most favourable for a Government triumph. In the interests of all the workers, the Liberal and Socialist Parties should agree to united action to secure a majority in the new House for those measures in their firogrammos on which they are agreed. VVere those reforms passed tfie position 01 the workers would be greatly improved, and an era of much greater prosperity for the nation would be begun I would suggest, therefore, a conference of the leaders of these parties to obtain united action to carry a short and efficient programme, including proportional representation, and then appeal to th« country on the new electoral system which will give to all parties fair representation. Any man who is,opposed ,to this very reasonable and common-sense proposal is no friend of Labour. Any man who endeavours to prevent unity in the Opposition for the much-needed and very important reforms upon which all are agreed, except the selfish monopolists, is an enemy of his country, no matter what he may call himself.—l am etc., '
