MR. HAVELOCK WILSON
CONSERVATIVE PAPER’S TRIBUTE
(Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.)
LONDON, April 16. Among the tributes to the late Havelock Wilson none is more generous than that of the “Morning Post,” which says: “Few men so completely lived down old prejudices. He was once known as the stormy petrel of Labour, and was constantly denounced by the shipowners, but he lived to earn the respect of opponents, and received more than one honour from the King. The recent expulsion of the Seamen’s Union from the Trades’ Union Congress, in consequence of a loan of £lO,OOO to a non-political miners’ union, left Mr Wilson undisturbed. He continued to preach against a socialist class war movement. He postponed his retirement, and meantime his friends raised a testimonial of £lO,OOO, which would have been presented to him weeks ago, but illness prevented it being done.
