IN BRITISH POLITICS. By Tolsiraph-Preia Association—CoDrrielli London, August 17. Mr. W. E. Harvey, Labour M.P. for Derbyshire (North-East Division), and a vice-president of the Miners' Federation, is N supporting Mr. Kenyon's candidatuiro for the Chesterfield seat. Mr. Harvey declares that he does not care two pins what the Federation aad the Labour party are doing,

MB. LLOYD-GEORGE'S "BEST WISHES." • (Rco, August 18, 11.40 p.m.) London, August 18. ' Mr. Lloyd-George (Chancellor of the Exchequer) has telegraphed to Mr. Kenyon wishing liim luck in Iris "fight for a wise polioy of making Liberalism and Labour stand together. Divided they must both fall; united l they will overthrow privilege, monopoly, and a legion of social evils." Mr. G. Hancock (Labour M.P.) has ignored Mr'. J. Ramsay Mac Donald's mandate, and actively supports Mr. Kenyon.

Despita. the efforts of Mir. J. Ramsay Mac Donald, M.P., to introduce some semblance of party discipline into the Labour interests in British politios, there would appear to bo a lot to-do yet, if the al-ove. messages are any criterion, before Labour can present a united front. The Labour party and tho Independent Labour party must subordinate mere demonstrations to the hard constructive work of tho building up of Socialism from its foundations, said Mr. Mac Donald recently. Ho had gone, ho said, to the House of Commons day after day Fad and ovorbuirdenea because of its inefficiency. They could lay their traps, put down their bird lime, aing their siren songs, and put forward their fraudulent programmes, but so long as he was leader of the Panliamentary Labour party he was not going to take words and professions as real.
