MR. J. H. THOMAS.
[To THE EDITOR or THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—The Council of Action points two morals: (1) The failure of the Labour Parliamentary Party in the House of Commons; (2) the efficiency of the Bolshevik wire-pulling within our Labour organizations. These wires tipped 1,044 Labour repre- sentatives down the slippery slope of militant hysteria into a most humiliating position. Mr. J. H. Thomas—and surely if John Bull wants his Mrs. Caudle he knows where to find her— has poured forth a cataract of explanation, spoken and written, in his attempt to climb up the slippery slope. He is a strict constitutionalist up to the point when he may consider that Government policy does not accord with what he thinks the masses would think if they knew anything about the subject in question and were interested in it ! When Mr. Thomas was in America during the war he is said to have given his hosts to understand that he would be the next Prime Minister of England. Well, as I have said, if John Bull wants Mrs. Caudle he knows where to find her.—I am, Sir, &c., P. R. C.
