On Wednesday afternoon the London office of the Labour Leader

was raided by the police. No arrests were made, but all copies of the Labour Leader and the quarterly Socialist Review were carried off, together with a number of pamphlets publisbed by the Independent Labour Party—whose head- quarters are at the office—and by the Union of Democratic Control. Simultaneously the head offices of the Labour Leader in Manchester were visited by the police and a number of documents removed.
