The torrent of w loosed by last year's lost tion contin- ued. Writers and speakers car- ried on their struggle to achieve at least some public impact with their suggested cures, The learned Political Quarterly added to the flow.

CLARITY NEEDED Summarizing a number of ar- ticles by 10 younger labor sup- porters, the publication drew this conclusion: "What emerges is that, in or- der to appeal to the electorate and still to fulfil the socialist values of the Labor party, the prime need is clarity of thought on a small number of key is- sues." The young supporters peered through the maguitying glass at every facet of the Labor move- ment--from its basic philosophy and economic setting to its publi- city and relations with unions.
