“CLEAN POLITICS”
LABOUR BILL BEFORE HOUSE OF COMMONS QUESTION OF DETAIL OF PARTY FUNDS (United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) (Rec. February 28, 9.50 p.m.) London, February 27. Mr, E. Thurtle (Labour), in introducing the Clean Politics Bill, admitted that the title was a little ambitious, as one little Bill could not cleanse the whole political system. The Bill compelled each political party to publish an annual return of subscribers to Its funds. Labour was anxious that all the cards should be tabled. If their opponents wanted to' know how much Red gold was received from Moscow they could co-operate in the discovery. Labour had already issued an annual statement of receipts and expenditure. He reassured the Liberals that the Bill was not retrospective, and did not include what was known as the personal fund. The Bill was read a first time.
