The article focuses on the British Labor Party has recommended that the party truce be abandoned. Arthur Henderson and his associated believe that the Labor Party is strong enough to take the initiative and pursue its own course. The only way for the party to increase its present strength in the British House of Commons, save by the slow process of winning bye-elections here or there, is by declining to support Lloyd George further, and precipitating a general election. There are reasons for thinking that large numbers of English voters would welcome a change, not because of dissatisfaction with the war, but because of a conviction that the present Ministry has gone stale.
