ANNUAL REPORT.
rTHIS Is a difficult time for every- body, parties no Hess . than indi
viduals. Even in normal times our party has many difficulties, and In particular when faced with propa ganda work. The year that has passed h a s ' been very trying and disturbing for Socialists, however, btoause Socialists [are ' essentially peaceable and pacifist at heart, and during [war-time pur consciences become Wely troubled. In undemo cratic o|:gaiilsation {like ours there Is bound to be great difference of opinion [in regard to war, whether it be waged against Hitlerism by Britain,: or; against Finland by Russia.: :

Before going to work about 8-40,! he asked his daughter to stay with her mother. Death had taken 'place when he returned home at 5,p.m. t^ e s e facts were borne out by
Miss Annie Smith, a shop assistant, and daughter of [the deceased, who, she said, had previously refused to call In .medical qW- On this occa sion, however, slje was persuaded to have Attention. [ Accordingly,-about 1 p.m. a doctor
