The Parliamentary Labor Patty numbered then forty members. Philip Snowden, British statesmen met to discuss its attitude toward the war, and went with the British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald in his opposition to Great Britain's entry into the struggle. But on August 5, 1973 there was a split. MacDonald resigned his leadership, and Arthur Henderson succeeded him and entered the war Cabinet. Only Kcir Hardie, F.W. Jowett, and Tom Richardson stood with MacDonald-until Philip Snowden arrived. Snowden never hesitated for a minute. He knew that it meant going into the wilderness; he knew that in its war hysteria the public would not spare him and his associates, that they would be hated and denounced, spied upon, and pronounced traitors.
