TOPIC OF THE DAY

Attlee, Clement Richard

He presided over the establishment of the welfare state in Great Britain and over the most important step--the granting of independence to India--in the conversion of the British Empire into the Commonwealth of Nations. The son of a prosperous lawyer, Attlee himself practiced law briefly after studying at the University of Oxford but soon became primarily interested in social reform. From 1907 to 1922 (except for the period of his World War I service), he lived in a settlement house in the impoverished East End of London. In 1907 he joined the Fabian Society and in 1908 the Independent Labour Party. Entering East End politics after the war, he became mayor of the borough of Stepney in 1919 and a member of Parliament from Limehouse in 1922
