Cosrespondence of the Assoclated Press. LONDON, November 26.—Labor is far from down-hearted over the result of the recent election. Although ‘it lost nearly 50 teats, the party gained more than 1,000,000 new yoters, dem- onstrating that the Soclalist mov ment in British politics is not only jelive and kicking, but growing lustily as well. After all, the sweeping change in party strength in the House of Com- mons which the election brought about was due greatly to what Lloyd George and others have assailed as unjust and undemocratic anamolies In Ithe” ‘British electoral system. 1In | three-sided contests the existing sy: tem permits the election of a candi- date by a ‘minority of the voters, as the high man of the three wins. Luck to Labor a Year Ago. A year ago the luck of the three- party fighting went to Labor and against the Conservatives. This time the reverse happened. The Gonserva: tives polled less than half of the votes cast by the populace, but won more than two-thirds of the seats. For seven votes that were Con- - ive Labor got five. Yet more than 400 Conservative canlidates were elected, while Labor won less than 160 seats. The Liberal strength shrunk at the polls from more than 4,000,000 to less than 3,000,000, and in the House this middle party with- cred to less than 40 members. In consequence of the strange har- vest that sprung from the votes of the nation the advocates of electoral reform are pushing pens and using vocal chords industriously. The movement for {ntroducing propor- Itiurm! representation has taken on { fresh vigor. Might Have Been Otherwise. The Proportional Representation Soclety has pointed out that had the system it supports been in use the Tories would have only three-fourths of thelr present parliamentary mem- bers, Labor would hold more than 200 seats instead of 158, and the Liberals t“ould have 100 members instead of a {mere omnibus loadful of less than 40. There are no indications, however, that electoral reforms are nigh. The Conservatives are satisfied and it {would hardly be human nature for them to push through reforms that would weaken their parliamentary po- sition. |VISCOUNT CECIL ENDS Wilson Foundation Medal for Peer Completed by Jugoslav Sculptor.

David Fairchild of Washington, fa- mous plant xplorer, rites to the National Geographic Society of his experiences amid new traflic condi- tions, ranging from horse dray and pushcart obstructions to a conges- tion of bicycle riders, as follows: “Well, I 'should say ‘the way to have ‘experiences in Europe is to come | over in your own hand-driven car, leaving every vestige uf a profes- sional chauffeur behind, and poke around through the narrow streets and the beautiful highways of these| remarkable countries. { | Forebodings of Friendw. | “It was something of an accident which landed us in Europe with the 140th automobile to cross the At-| lantic this year.

You travel soli- tary and alone over roads which have ~ost more than the thoroughfares in America and which were built cen- turies ago and come, after a while, to discount every derogatory remark of the inhabitant as regards to the bad roads of his country.
