It is obvious that the first need is for Labour
to co-operate with the Government. However callous a Government might be—and as regards unemployment the Government are by no means callous—the only hope of achieving anything is to work with the Government. The Government might have to be urged
en incessantly to further efforts, but they clearly cannot be dis- pensed with and ignored. An example of the temper in which the Daily Herald approaches the grave crisis may be gathered from some manifestoes published in the issue of Thursday.
Here is one of them :- " WE ACCUSE !
To THE EMPLOYING AND PROPERTIED CLASSES.
We charge you with conspiracy against the welfare of the Nation.
In your hearts you welcome unemployment as a weapon with which to break the revolutionary spirit in the workers and the power of organized Labour. You know that you are powerless when Labour is 100 per cent. organized, united, and fully employed on a rising market. You know that a falling market means unemployment. You know that unemployment means semi-starvation. You hope that unemployment and semi-starvation mean disunity and disorganization for Labour. You know that disunity and disorganization mean lower wages for the workers who produce the wealth, and higher profits for you who live on it."
