that much of present-day progreElS was due to
t he activities and pr-Opaga.nda of the LL.P.
The one ray of hope among the dark clouds ,of
the last 'few years, not only in this country but
a11 over the world: had been the I.L.;P. and
its }it.lLnd for Nationalism.
'
Mr, PONSONBY 'said that in December last
year he left off beina: a Member of Parliament
aDd became a member of tho I.L.P. That: waa
very good bllBiness. Be had been disappointed
on the Sa.turday night' when his election reeult
came to him, hut on Sunday morning when he
saw the returns for the' whole country ne W&8
glad to be out of it. Tha.t House of Commons
was, not a representativo Bouse of Commons
and ,there were a great number of men in it
whom they w~uld never' hear of again. They
had been told in Reading, as elsewhere, that
the Kaiser would be hung and that the Ger·
mans would pay for the ~a.r. It. didn't look as
though they were going to, hang tho Kaiser,
and he knew that, Germ'any co.uldn:t pay for
the War, Those and many other promi.ges hs.d
not been fulfilled.
He /fought against the
Coalition and was beaten by a Ooalition
Liberal, because he thouglJt' that during' war·'time it, wtie DO doubt necessary to have r~
~uree to methods of government which would
, be objectionable in peace time. The war W8il
a terrible bu.iness and had to be conducted by
certain methods, for w wch ,they required certain men. Wb-eD the war was over he
