Labor's Aims
A FUXDAMENTAL ALTERATION* o.l' THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE. DISTINCT FROM LIBERALISM. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright Received ti, 10.25 p.m. London, April (i. Mr. G. X. Barnes (Labor M.P.). speaking at Wolverhampton, said tin- objects of Liberalism and /Labor were distinct, although at present they have much in common. Vet while Liberalism was concerned with political reform, the extension of tbe franchise, and religious freedom, Labor sought a fundamental alteration in the economic structure of society. He added that it was absurd to think that the Liberals could do the work of Labor, controlled, bossed and financed as they were by the wealthy. If Mr. Asquith wished to avoid threecornered fights the remedy was in his own hands by means of a second ballot or an alterantive vote. Otherwise there would be more three-cornered contests in the future than in the past.
