The Labour Party, not content with having under- taken a
general attack upon private enterprise and with advocating the Capital Levy in its worst form, has driven another nail into its own coffin. Incredible as it may seem, it has declared in favour of maintaining our unhappy commitment in regard to founding a National Home for the. Jews and, incidentally, for neglecting our pledge to the Arabs. Mr. Henderson has declared that " the British Labour Party has no sympathy with those who would abandon the responsibilities of Palestine." For " responsibilities," of course, read " expenditure." There are, we trust, a few Labour men who avoid this madness, but we note with apprehension that Mr. Joshua Wedgwood, Mr. Bertrand Russell, Colonel Arthur Lynch, and a whole list of others have expressed their complete agreement with Mr. Henderson.
