There is bound to be a struggle for supremacy. The
academic leaders, who are not really entitled to speak for Labour at all, will fight as hard as only PLICifi0iBta can to retain their position. We hope, however, that the meeting of June 29th will prove that the Trade Union Labour Party will rally to itself such a following as will surprise the old leaders. The Trade Union Labour Party will do well—though this will only emphasize the split in ideas—if it calls attention to the fact, as we believe it will, that employers and workmen have never been brought so much into harmony as during the war. It is time to cease the ridiculous old catch-Dries about the evils and tyranny of Capital. Capital is not the enemy of Labour but its best friend. The more capital there is, the more money there is to pay wages.
