"A PALER CROMWELL"
BIRKENHEAD ON THE LABOUR
LEADER.
UU3TRALIAN-NSV ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.)
(Received 21st January, 10 a.m.)
LONDON, 20th January. Viscount Birkenhead, in a character sketch in "The Sunday Times" of Mr. Ramsay Macdonald, says:—-"Labour and Socialism as a sound political force of Great Britain have come to stay, and we have to try to be interested in their leaders. I read the mind of Mr. Macdonald as possessing all the rigidity of the school of Sidney Webb, with a slightly artificial re-echo of passion that seems bred on the Clyde, and, if the ■ forces which are opposed to Socialism do not forget their other differences, he may be a new, if a paler, Cromwell, who will yet give modern England a taste of what the kingdom of Latter-day Saints means to life, property, and happiness."
