LONDON RIOTS
LEADERS’ SENTENCES
HOME SECRETARY REFUSES TO INTERFERE
(U.P.A. b.v Elec. Tel. Copyright)
LONDON, Jan. 9
"No ground existr to justify interference in the court’s decision”, says Siir John Gilmour in a letter to Air George Lansbury regarding Alann and Llewellyn after consideration, of his representation and Air Ramsay MacDonald’s communication.
Sir John Gilmour recalls the connection of Elias. Hannington, Alarm, and Llewellyn with the Unemployed Workers’ Movement, which was responsible for the disturbances in October and November. At the trial Elias indicated that the movement was closely connected wth Moscow, while the Daily Worker published the movement’s plans for a mass demonstration on December 19. It was essential in the public interest to prevent a recurrence of the disturbances, .and accordingly Alann and Llewellyn were asked to find sureties for peace. If they had chosen to accede they could have participated in the deputation taking the petition to the House of Commons. The magisterial proceedings in nowise infringed the freedom of speech at lawful public meetings.
