The Prime Minister said, he hoped to be able to BUSINESS Cabinet DURING THE NAVAL CON- k-eep in touch with/business during the progress of PERENCE. the London Naval Conference, but he asked the (Previous Chancellor of the Exchequer to assist him by keeping Reference: Cabinet 1 ­ a close watch on the business in general. (SO), Con­ elusion^.) -1­ 2* The Prime Minister reported that he had received a letter from the First. Lord of the Admiralty, dated January 15, 1930, enclosing a Memorandum from the First Sea Lord setting forth the views of the Naval Lords of the Admiralty which they were anxious the Prime Minister should have before him In connection with the decision to be taken on the Navy Estimates for 1930. Extracts from the Memorandum were read to the Cabinet. The Cabinet took note of the letter and Memorandum, which it was decided should be attached as an Appendix to these Conclusions. THE SINGAPORE 3. The Cabinet had before them a Memorandum by the NAVAL BASE. — First Lord of the Admiralty (Paper CP.-20 (30)) on The Malay States' Contribution. the subject of the Malay States' contribution to the cost of the Singapore Naval Base. In this Memorandum (Previ cue Reference: it was pointed out that if the payment of the contri­ Cabinet 47 (29), Con­ bution during the next ten weeks, as proposed by the elusion 7.) High Commissioner for the Malay States, cannot be counted on, a supplementary Estimate for the Navy would be necessary. The deficit would have to be explained as resulting from the loss of the Malay money, and an embarrassing Debate on Singapore in the middle of the Naval Conference would probably result. On the other hand, a discussion in Malaya as to whether the consideration for the contribution has failed or no is only slightly less undesirable. The Memorandum contained the suggestion that a further telegram should be sent to the High Commissioner from the Colonial Office to the following effect:­ "Have referred your telegram of 1st January to His Majesty's Government, who think position cannot be fully understood. No decision has been taken affecting scope of scheme or date of completion. The precautionary slowing down of work pending Naval Conference can have no effect on that date. Decision to withhold contribution, therefore, appears premature unless it is precautionary on supposition that money would be lost in the event of results of Naval Conference leading to entire change of policy regarding Base. On this I am to assure you that His Majesty's Govern­ ment recognise that if scheme were abandoned or altered fundamentally contributions would have to be refunded or adjusted as mighrbe mutually agreed. In those circumstances it is thought no question of consultation ttith Rulers or Federal Council about present payment need arise. In opinion of His Majesty's Government it would be very undesirable for such a discussion on Base to arise in Malaya while Naval Conference is sitting and still more undesirable to have Parlia­ mentary Debate here as would be unavoidable if contribution actually budgeted for is not received" . -3­ After a short discussion the Cabinet agreed - That the Secretary of State for the Colonies should send a telegram to the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States on the lines proposed by the Admiralty, accompanied, at his discretion, by a private tele­ gram . UNEMPLOYMENT 4. The Cabinet had before them a Memorandum by POLICY. the Lord Privy Seal (Paper CP.-21 (30)) on the (Previous subject of a speech he recently made at Manchester Reference: Cabinet 3 in which, after describing the general Unemployment (30), Con­ cltision 5.) Policy of the Government, he made an announcement as to the readiness of the City to consider sympathet­ ically the proposals that may be put forward for assisting the re-organisation of industry on sound lines. The Memorandum also contained particulars of the action the Lord Privy Seal is taking to follow up this pronouncement, and concluded by a statement that in certain quarters the over-riding cause of the rather sombre outlook in Employment is the fear that the Eudget may be an unfavourable one. The Lord Privy Seal informed the Cabinet that since circulating his Memorandum he had been in touch with the Presidents of the principal Banks, four out of five of whom were supporting his policy. He communicated the names of a very strong Committee of Bankers which had been set up and which would assist him on the financial side, as well as of an equally strong Committee on the industrial side. Both Committees would meet twice a week. The Prime Minister instructed the Secretary to keep the Lord Privy Seal*s Memorandum on the Agenda, with a view to a discussion as soon as convenient.

  • In the Name of Socialism: Zionism and European Social Democracy in the Inter-War Years
    In the Name of Socialism: Zionism and European Social Democracy in the Inter-War Years PAUL KELEMEN* Summary: Since 1917, the European social democratic movement has given fulsome support to Zionism. The article examines the ideological basis on which Zionism and, in particular, Labour Zionism gained, from 1917, the backing of social democratic parties and prominent socialists. It argues that Labour Zionism's appeal to socialists derived from the notion of "positive colonialism". In the 1930s, as the number of Jewish refugees from Nazi persecution increased considerably, social democratic pro-Zionism also came to be sustained by the fear that the resettlement of Jews in Europe would strengthen anti-Semitism and the extreme right. The social democratic movement was an important source of political support for the setting up of a Jewish state in Palestine. Yet its attitude to Zionism has been noted mostly en passant in works tracing the socialist, and in particular the Marxist, interpretations of the Jewish question.1 The lack of attention accorded to this issue stems partly from the pre-1914 socialist theoreticians themselves, most of whom considered Zionism, simultaneously, as a diversion from the class struggle and a peripheral issue. In the inter-war years, however, prominent socialists, individual social democratic parties and their collective organizations established a tradition of pro-Zionism. The aim, here, is to trace the ideas and political factors which shaped this tradition. Before World War I, sympathy for Zionism in the socialist movement was confined to its fringe: articles favourable to Jewish nationalism appeared, from 1908, in Sozialistische Monatshefte, a journal edited by Joseph Bloch and influential on the revisionist right wing of the German Social Democratic Party.2 Bloch's belief that the sense of national com- munity transcended class interest as a historical force, accorded with interpreting the Jewish question in national rather than class terms.

  • The Labour Party Is More Than the Shadow Cabinet, and Corbyn Must Learn to Engage with It
    The Labour Party is more than the shadow cabinet, and Corbyn must learn to engage with it blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/the-labour-party-is-more-than-the-shadow-cabinet/ 1/11/2016 The three-day reshuffle of the shadow cabinet might have helped Jeremy Corbyn stamp his mark on the party but he needs to do more to ensure his leadership lasts, writes Eunice Goes. She explains the Labour leader must engage with all groups that have historically made up the party, while his rhetoric should focus more on policies that resonate with the public. Doing so will require a stronger vision of what he means by ‘new politics’ and, crucially, a better communications strategy. By Westminster standards Labour’s shadow cabinet reshuffle was ‘shambolic’ and had the key ingredients of a ‘pantomime’. At least, it was in those terms that it was described by a large number of Labour politicians and Westminster watchers. It certainly wasn’t slick, or edifying. Taking the best of a week to complete a modest shadow cabinet reshuffle was revealing of the limited authority the leader Jeremy Corbyn has over the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP). Against the wishes of the Labour leader, the Shadow Foreign Secretary Hilary Benn and the Shadow Chief Whip Rosie Winterton kept their posts. However, Corbyn was able to assert his authority in other ways. He moved the pro-Trident Maria Eagle from Defence and appointed the anti-Trident Emily Thornberry to the post. He also imposed some ground rules on Hillary Benn and got rid of Michael Dugher and Pat McFadden on the grounds of disloyalty.

  • The Identification of Radicals in the British Parliament
    1 HANSEN 0001 040227 名城論叢 2004年３月 31 THE IDENTIFICATION OF ‘RADICALS’ IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT, 1906-1914 P.HANSEN INTRODUCTION This article aims to identify the existence of a little known group of minority opinion in British society during the Edwardian Age. It is an attempt to define who the British Radicals were in the parliaments during the years immediately preceding the Great War. Though some were particularly interested in the foreign policy matters of the time,it must be borne in mind that most confined their energies to promoting the Liberal campaign for domestic welfare issues. Those considered or contemporaneously labelled as ‘Radicals’held ‘leftwing’views, being politically somewhat just left of centre. They were not revolutionaries or communists. They wanted change through reforms carried out in a democratic manner. Their failure to carry out changes on a significant scale was a major reason for the decline of the Liberals,and the rise and ultimate success of the Labour Party. Indeed, following the First World War, many Radicals defected from the Liberal Party to join Labour. With regard to historiography,it can be stated that the activities of British Radicals from the turn of the century to the outbreak of the First World War were the subject of interest to the most famous British historian of the second half of the 20century, A. J. P. Taylor. He wrote of them in his work The Troublemakers based on his Ford Lectures of 1956. By the early 1970s’A.J.A.Morris had established a reputation in the field with his book Radicalism Against War, 1906-1914 (1972),and a further publication of which he was editor,Edwardian Radical- ism 1900-1914 (1974).

  • The Theological Socialism of the Labour Church
    ‘SO PECULIARLY ITS OWN’ THE THEOLOGICAL SOCIALISM OF THE LABOUR CHURCH by NEIL WHARRIER JOHNSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The thesis argues that the most distinctive feature of the Labour Church was Theological Socialism. For its founder, John Trevor, Theological Socialism was the literal Religion of Socialism, a post-Christian prophecy announcing the dawn of a new utopian era explained in terms of the Kingdom of God on earth; for members of the Labour Church, who are referred to throughout the thesis as Theological Socialists, Theological Socialism was an inclusive message about God working through the Labour movement. By focussing on Theological Socialism the thesis challenges the historiography and reappraises the significance of the Labour

  • The Labour Party and the Idea of Citizenship, C. 193 1-1951
    The Labour Party and the Idea of Citizenship, c. 193 1-1951 ABIGAIL LOUISA BEACH University College London Thesis presented for the degree of PhD University of London June 1996 I. ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development and articulation of ideas of citizenship by the Labour Party and its sympathizers in academia and the professions. Setting this analysis within the context of key policy debates the study explores how ideas of citizenship shaped critiques of the relationships between central government and local government, voluntary groups and the individual. Present historiographical orthodoxy has skewed our understanding of Labour's attitude to society and the state, overemphasising the collectivist nature and centralising intentions of the Labour party, while underplaying other important ideological trends within the party. In particular, historical analyses which stress the party's commitment from the 1930s to achieving the transition to socialism through a strategy of planning, (of industrial development, production, investment, and so on), have generally concluded that the party based its programme on a centralised, expert-driven state, with control removed from the grasp of the ordinary people. The re-evaluation developed here questions this analysis and, fundamentally, seeks to loosen the almost overwhelming concentration on the mechanisms chosen by the Labour for the implementation of policy. It focuses instead on the discussion of ideas that lay behind these policies and points to the variety of opinions on the meaning and implications of social and economic planning that surfaced in the mid-twentieth century Labour party. In particular, it reveals considerable interest in the development of an active and participatory citizenship among socialist thinkers and politicians, themes which have hitherto largely been seen as missing elements in the ideas of the interwar and immediate postwar Labour party.

  • A History of Women in the Civil Service
    A History of Women in the UK Civil Service This paper draws heavily on research carried out by Bea Morgan when working with Home Office Women. She now works in DCMS where she can be emailed at [email protected] . Bea in turn acknowledges the support of her partner who passed on her love of history and gave Bea confidence in herself, and also the support of Home Office Women who allowed her time to carry out this research. The 1700s and Early 1800s The general view in this period was that women should remain passive and docile and in the home, where she would be treated as subordinate to men. Any woman away from the domestic sphere and not behaving in this way was considered to be unfeminine and therefore in moral danger. Women were considered to be not much more than children with decisions made for them by fathers; husbands and when a woman was in service, her employers. There were few opportunities open to women at the time and these would have been limited to; governess; needlework; mill industry; laundry and domestic service. All work required women to be unmarried except for factory or home working for the working classes. The title of Mrs for the cook in a large household was an honorary title. Work was not considered a possibility for middle class married women. In the lower classes, married women did work, of necessity, in the mills and factories or take in ‘home working’, which would include making matchboxes, needlework or laundry. Where women did work they were considered to be a cheap and flexible labour force.
