LIBERALISM AND LABOUR.
Frantic efforts are,. >ust now being made by the renr.ian.t of the so-called "Liberal" party in New to secure a coaaition with the SocialDemocrat party, it matters not that the latter is composed of Socialists, Syndicalists, and—shall we say— Anarchists. The "Liberals" have no scruples . about their political bedfellows. Thair one, their only hope is to again climb" into power on the shoulders of the very class of people whom they have despised and rejected. But'the Social-Democrats are not to be caught by "Liberal" salt. They are out to win on their own bat, if they are to win. at all. The latest published circular from the Unity Congress Committee says:— "Dear old x'weedle-de-dee and Tweedle-de-dum (Liberalism and Conservatism) have been alknved. to exercise their hypnotic v arts long enough." expresses the SocialDemocratic sentiment in a sentence. Tweed!e-de-dee has certainly been practising hypnotic arts for years and is endeavouring to do so to-day. But Tweedle-de-dum, in the shape of Conservatism, is not knowm in" politics, much -fetes does it hypnotise the worker.
