We invited a number of leaders in social movements to tell our readers what they consider are the prospects of legislation in the new Parliament, to comment especially on the strength of the Labour Party, and to suggest the attitude it should take towards the Government.

     I presume, from Mr. Asquith's repeated declarations, that the method of abolishing the Lords' veto has long been decided by the Cabinet and accepted by the King. If so, I see nothing to prevent this Parliament from carrying out their whole programme of social reform, concluding with a thorough measure of electoral reform, giving universal suffrage, at the age of 30 (better 35 or 40!), and abolishing all possibility of multiple voting, bribery, and intimidation, so disgracefully prevalent at this election. In all these measures the Labour Party should support and urge on the Government, while strongly opposing timid and half-hearted measures. . . .
