It would. perhaps ba hard ly fair to say that tbe Might Hon. John and Keir Hardle and all the other front rank labor and socialist party leaders - are dodging the new sect of "Orabland re," yet It is remarkable how terribly busy .they are Just now on parliamen tary affairs.

" As the. cable dispatches have probably told, the unemployed have at last ac cepted the' "Back to the Land" cry and in Manchester and London have seised two small ' plots of ground, encamped on them and started to ralss vegeta bles and "collections." The latter are already yielding a dally and fafrly bountiful harvest' The vegetables have not yet reported progress. Other small ' bands of unemployed have at a few out lying plaoes followed in a mild way the lead- of Manchester and London. . The leaders boast of having gone back to. the days of - Cromwell. The public and the newspapers ' stlgmatiss It rather as going back to the daya of Robin Hood 'as exemplified 4n tbe Bos tonlans' famous eomlo opera. England was a little bit startled In . tbe early part of July when a dosen men headed by a trio named Gray, Smith and Williams took possession of a sli-acre field,- unfenced, at Levene hulme. three miles from Manchester, Vnd announced that the unemployed of the country had turned outlaws and In tended to grab all the land they wanted and till it according to tbe precepts of "Back to the Land" dinned into their ears for many winters by philanthro pists, sociologists and charity organisa tions.

Last winter he proposed that the large dues snouia solve tne unempioyea prob lem by spending a quarter of a million dollars each on a farm "colony.' This, he declared, would not alone support all the "unemployed and. their fa sillies, but would net a profit annually of anything vp to 150,00e to each city, Hla scbora. wee backed up by Joseph. Fels, the mil lionaire American philanthropist snd business man, formerly of Philadelphia, now of England. Mr. Fels even offered to help finance the sohemes. But the cities would have none, of them, "Too colossal, they said. Shortly after the unprofitable marches to London of the. provincial unemployed last winter.
