Such signs as these are excellent and of good report,
in spite of all their ugliness, for the long-tried British public. For they signify that the test has come, that the time has arrived to separate the sheep from the goats in the Labour world. At one time we had no hope that this very desirable sorting could take place till a Labour Government came into power. But Labour men are fortunately doing it for themselves. Mr. Thomas, Mr. Bevin, Mr. Cramp, Mr. Robert Williams, and their friends must now surely see that the policy of running with the hare and hunting with the hounds is utterly useless. They had much better tell the honest working man the honest truth. At all events, we hope and almost believe that there will now be a victory for moderation and good sense. We have to thank the Bolsheviks and Communists for that.
