COMRADES!
■'SLOPPY SENTIMENT.’’ MACDONALD SPEAKS OUT. London, September 20. Mr Ramsay Macdonald, in an ar tide in “The Forward,’’ says that the Edinburgh Trades Union Congress was compelled to recognise that Labour’s troubles came not only from the outside.
My opinion has tong been that the movement has been too careless, and has given too much rone to certain influences within,’’ says Mr Macdonald. “Flabby laziness of mind and sloppy sentiment about comrades have been too prevalent. “The minority Movement was never a forward movement within the Trades Unions any more than a cuckoo fledgling could be a stimulant to the hedge sparrow’s brood.’’ Mr Macdonald contends that the difference between the Congress breaking relations with Russia and the Government expelling Soviet representatives was similar to the dif ference between a man declining to marry a lady and a man refusing to cross her doorstep.
