Greene Distributed by Kallman Publishing Company Copyright 1950 by the Southern Political Science Association Boek met grijs/groene kaft me rode ilustratie met rode letteropdruk in perfecte conditie; 404 pagina's; A SYMPOSIUM reprinted from The Journal of Politics Volume 12 Number 2 May 1950 The British general election of February, 1950 was so indecisive that a second general election appears to be necessary if Britain is to have a stable government. In anticipation of the first election the editors of The Journal of Politics decided to devote the May issue of 1950 to an examination of the record of the Labour Government which took office in 1945. This examination should now have an even greater interest in view of the indecisiveness of the e lection results and the strong possibility that the country will again have to be consulted. In accordance with past custom certain issues of the Journal have been published separately; the importance of the British scene to American students of politics has seemed to justify the reprinting of the May, 1950 issue in the present form. We wish to thank the contributors to this volume for their prompt response to our requests to assist us in this symposium. René de Visme Williamson Lee S.
