The aim of this article is to explore the anti-new poor law movement in Britain between the wars: Poplarism. This movement has been regarded as a step to improve the poor law system in Britain. In Britain, after the 'Great Depression' of the late nineteenth century, the former social policy legislation was challenged to transform itself into a modern social policy scheme under the pressure of various rising labour movements. The Poor Law system itself was no exceptional case. Under these circumstances, 'Poplar Board of Guardian' commanded by George Lansbury and his colleagues who were from labour classes, started to campaign for "The Humane Administration of the Poor Law" in order to transform it into a humanized one. The specific goals of this administration were 1 to admit to give the able-bodied and their families out-door relief unconditionally. 2 to try to set up the minimum relief scale of both indoor-relief and out-door relief to the residents in order to make their living condition better through the scientific observation and social work practice. 3 to overcome its financial difficulties which were caused as a result of this administration's opposition to the LCC (London County Council), the Ministry of Health and the Government by rejecting to pay the local rates imposed by the LCC.
