British Tories Look Ahead

This article describes the political changes in the Conservative Party of Great Britain. Four and a half years of total war have changed many things in England, including the Conservative Party itself. British Conservatives today are rallying in ever-greater numbers round a political program. The Conservative Party has always considered itself the aggressive defender of tradition, but it has never denied that even tradition changes, and one can reasonably argue that the younger Conservatives have been quicker to grasp the political implications of the changes wrought by the war than their Labor opponents. Off the record the leaders of the Labor Party acknowledge that there has been a definite shift in the political outlook in the past few months.
