He once told an audience of students that the] test of life is whether a man can spend his leisure alone, “If he wants someone with him, he has not ob- tained mastery over himself,” he said. MacDonald often roused bitter resentment among sections of his followers. It was said that he lacked humor, rubbed his opponents the wrong way and couldn’t laugh at himself. There was nothing of the hale and hearty labor- ite about him, and few called him “Mac.” He came to be in manner more like the traditional conservative :statesman, perfectly spoken and perfectly attired in parliament and always dignified. But he had passed through “red flag” days. George Bernard Shaw has said that when MacDonald first appeared in London he was such an untamed arnd intractable youth that it was doubted whether he would ever be a parliamentariam. During his early days in- parliament MacDonald wore a flaming cravat and was Enown as the “Apostle | of the Red Tie.” His appearance toned- and mellowed with the years to that of the acceptable statesman, land his critics charged him with surrendering his principles. But no short cut to the promised land was ever held out by MacDonald. He could see for himself, for his children and his children’s children only the hard road of cyntinuous toil, with occasional hearten- ing beacons along the route. He compared himself to one of those coral insects which build and build, and nobody seems to know that they are building until the structure is complete. He held always that evolution not revolution must be the means for erasing - 'social injustices.

RAMSAY MacDONALD Another international figure has passed in the death of Ramsay MacDonald, three times Prime Min- ister of England. While MacDonald was a life-long pacifist and shunned the world war like a scourge, it was his __Igte to take a leading part in healing its terrible fiwounds. His idealism of the League of Nations ap- proached that of Woodrow Wilson. ' World diplomacy was his special forte. He played important roles in developing Anglo-American re- t lations and made London a center for conciliation _ efforts. He unqualifiedly supported President Hoover's . 1 proposal for a year's moratorium on governmental “debts and expanded it within the empire by offering The Republican Opposition (New York Times) In his Boston address Mr. Hoover insisted that a strong opposition party is an essential part of the |democratic system and argued that some agreement |as to “constructive convictions and positive purposes” ;ls necessary if such a party is to exist. On both points the evidence of experience is with him. The demo- ,cratic system functions at its best only when the |party in office faces an opposition powerful enough (and alert enough to hold it to account for its mis- |takes. And no opposition which is merely negative 'and time-serving is in a position to be effective. The question is what “constructive convictions” and what “positive purposes” will lift the Republican a similar postponement of the obligations of all the|party out of an attitude of mere negativism and widen dominions. to the mother country. |its oppertunities for public service.

Dour, somber, aloof, he lacked many of l‘e qualities of an idolized leader of democracy, but made up for this by his determination, fighting spirit, lism and superior intellectual powers.
