“DOORSTEP DRIVE.”
LABOUR PARTY MEMBERSHIP. PENNILESS EX-POLITICIANS, LONDON, December 20. Many ex-Labour members of the House of Commons are in straitened circumstances, and the Labour Party Executive is inquiring with a view of aiding the hardest cases, though no funds exist for the purpose. Some of the older men, feeling that their seats were safe, gave up their trade union positions to. younger men. Reinstatement of these old members of the. party is difficult to arrange.

In the meantime, the party, whose membership has been declining for years, is planning a door-to-door search for members, to be known as the “Two Million Doorstep Drive. ’ ’
