This article focuses on several issues related socio-political development. Great Britain's Labor government will do its best to settle the grievances which lie behind the great strike and lockout of half a million cotton-mill workers in Lancashire, England but it is difficult to see how it can do more than effect a temporary compromise. The depression in the Lancashire mills is part of an international situation beyond its control, and the employers and workers are both victims of that situation. The policy of the Farm Board is rapidly being made clear. Its theory was set forth by the chairman, Alexander Legge, in his address before the American Institute of Cooperation at Baton Rouge on July 30 1929.
