Llewellin (U.) • • • • 3,305 Labour majority .. .. .. 1,030 Pr. Haden Guest fought the election ahnost entirely on the Chinese question, which had caused his resignation from the Labour Party. When Mr. Strauss decided to stand, instead of allowing Dr. Guest to enjoy a straight fight with his old Party, the defeat of Dr. Guest was inevitable. We are unfeignedly sorry that so interesting and honest a politician should be temporarily out of Parliament.
