Now the Minority Movement says in effect : " Com-

rades, we have taken the wrong path. .We must choose another." The supporters of this Movement propose to short-circuit Parliament, to bring all the unions under the control of the General Council of the Trades Union Con- gress, and then to put the Labour Party under the control of this General Council. They demand that when there is another Labour Government the Ministers shall be appointed, not by the Prime Minister, but by the General Council. If anybody can discovei a difference between this and Bolshevism we should like to know what it is. Resolutions containing these proposals are to be moved at Liverpool. To evolutionary Socialists like 3fr. MacDonald, Mr. Snowden, Mr. Clynes and Mr. J. H. Thomas, such proposals are anathema. The nation looks to the evolutionary party to have the courage to say what it thinks. There is no excuse for postponing the issue. Those who wait for better opportunities will lose ground.
