The article focuses on the political condition of Great Britain. The Labor Party has been divided into two groups on the issue of upcoming election's campaign. The only way Labor can obtain the votes which will-make it the next government of England is for it to say frankly that it wants to nationalize steel in order to drive big business from the essential positions of power, that it has resolved to take a decisive step toward changing the social structure of the country. When Hugh Dalton was brought back into the Cabinet as a concession to Labor's left wing, he admitted that Prime Minister Claimant Attlee might ask him to study the possibility of extending socialism to an industry like steel.
