LABOUR IX LONDON
United i"rcs3 Association—By Electric Tele- ', . , graph—Copyrlcht. (Received May 8, 1 p.m.) LONDON, May 7. Thirty speakers addressed a vast crowd at a May Day Labour celebra-j tion in Hyde Park, amplifiers enabling : a criticism of He'rr Hitler ;and Sir1 Oswald Moslcy to bo carried far. Beflagged and placarded processions,, including a contingent of Oxford undergraduates with a banner embazoncd "We Won't Fight," arrived, at the Marble Arch by seven routes, accompanied by bands, with mounted and foot police marshalling an orderly : demonstration. Mr. Gco. Lansbury,' despite a percentage of Fascists and Hitlerite insignia in the procession, said that the celebration challenged Hitlerism, Fascism, and Nationalism and all their implications as gospels of decadence and despair. Labour represented international solidarity. Lord Trenchard aimed a£ transforming the police into- an upper class force because they could not trust a working class force to crush a Socialist Government. Lord Trenchard's report disgraced himself and his administration. . . A resolution condemned the capitalist attacks on the workers and challenged the growth of militarism and Imperialism. ' The crowds quietly dispersed.
