A bolt from
the blue for the Tories
From the Guardian archive
Friday October 3, 1924
Leader
Guardian
Almost without warning we find ourselves on the brink of a
first-rate political crisis, with the dissolution of the working alliance
between the Liberal and Labour parties almost accomplished and a general
election in sight.
The alliance has all along been precarious, since it could
only be stable if it were reciprocal, and by the Labour party any sort of return
for service rendered has been steadily refused.
We have as yet precisely to learn the exact grounds on which Mr Asquith rests
his decision. For some time past the [Liberal] party in Parliament has been
growing more and more tired of its position of hewer of wood and drawer of water
for another party which requites its services only with distrust, suspicion, and
dislike.
A very small dose of the famous "atmosphere" of friendliness with which Mr.
MacDonald prepares and surrounds his approaches to foreign Powers would have
made all the difference.
But the Prime Minister, who can be so sweet to the foreigner, has nothing but
unconcealed dislike and exaggerated suspicion for those who in this country
stand nearest to him in politics and on whose support the life of his Government
depends.
It is not surprising that a situation such as this should have become more and
more galling to those who got the kicks and paid the ha'pence, but it had lasted
for a good many months. There is a powerful reason for not breaking the peace
until at least the grave danger in Ireland had been overcome.
We confess ourselves unable to understand the apparent levity which would
endanger the Irish settlement. Nobody outside the left wing of the Labour party
approves the proposed loan to the Bolshevist Government, except on conditions as
to both the amount and security which are probably unattainable. Mr. MacDonald,
so lately as in June last, scouted the idea of pledging British credit in this
way.
It cannot be said that the prospect of a general election fought under these
circumstances is attractive. No doubt there is plenty of anti-Russian feeling
which could be exploited against the pro-Russian feeling of a section of Labour,
but Liberals would be easily outdistanced by the Tory party under the ardent
inspiration of Mr. Churchill and their own Diehards.
It is unlikely that the Labour party would gain anything out of a conflict on
this ground, but then neither would the Liberal party. The Tory party might.
[The Tories did, winning what became known
as the "Zinoviev letter" election
by a large majority.
Liberals lost 118 out of 158 seats.
This leader is
attributed to CP Scott.]
