FREE SPEECH DIFFICULT. BRITISH BARRISTER’S CRITICISM DEPORTATION DEMANDED. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received May 16, 11.0 p.m. SHANGHAI, May 15. The difficulty of free speech in public in China is clearly evidenced by the action yesterdav of the Shanghai Kuomintapg, which passed a resolution demanding that Nanking should take action to secure the deportation of Mr K. G. MacDonald, a British barrister, whose speech at the ratepayers’ annual meeting on April 16 secured the rejection of a proposal to increase the Chinese membership on the Municipal Council from three to five, which was adopted at a subsequent meeting. The local Kuomintang considers Mr MacDonald’s criticism of the Chinese most insulting, and points out that its demand for an apology was not met. Consequently, it desires his deportation.
