† Plain as a pikestaff is the fact that Britain's electoral system should some soon day be revised. Only 58 Liberal M. P.'s were returned at the last election by 5,257,536 Liberal votes. But the two larger parties, Labor and Conservative each obtained more than four times more M. P.'s than the Liberals, though they each received less than twice as many votes as were cast for Liberal candidates.

** Just before the last British election Sir Oswald and Lady Mosley were in Berlin, where they lavishly entertained the late, great Foreign Minister Stresemann and his vivacious wife. After talking with them, Frau Stresemann, who knows little (and does not claim to know anything) of British politics, confided to a German friend that she 'quite hoped" dear Lady Mosley's husband was going to be made Prime Minister then and there instead of plebian Mr. MacDonald.
