We have received with much pleasure a manifesto issued by
the originators of the new Trade Union Labour Party. The Party will attempt to prevail upon the next Trade Union Congress to declare in favour of a distinct political Party for the Trade Union movement. It will also ask the Congress formally to condemn the brutal murders and robbery of British and neutral seamen on the high seas by the Germans, and to assert that there can be " no peace by negotiation " with a nation which attempts to justify such abominable crimes. Finally, the new Party will invite the Trade Union Congress to resolve that " for a period of two years there shall be no intercourse with the German nation unless the people have full Parliamentary control over their Kaiser and Government and make full reparation for the crimes committed."
