The Labour Party published its election manifesto on Thursday. As
the signatories include patriots like Mr. Clynes and Pacificists like Mr. MacDonald and Mrs. Snowden, the manifesto appeals vaguely for " a peace of international co-operation " and welcomes the young democracies of the Continent, while demanding the withdrawal of the Allied forces which are trying to rescue Russian democracy from the despotic. Bolsheviks. The Labour Party appeals especially to the soldiers and sailors whom some Labour leaders have done their best to obstruct and defeat. Its domestic programme includes " a special tax on capital," and also the raising of the exemption limit for Income Tax so that the working man may not pay his share. Its programme " is designed to build a new world and to build it by Constitutional means." Labour leaders love grandiloquent phrases.
