PROTEST AGAINST CONGRESS ARRESTS LONDON, Aug. 9.—The national council of the Independent Labour Party passed a resolution protesting against the Congress arrests “whereby the British Government renounces before the whole world any claim to represent the principles of freedom and democracy.” The resolution urges Labour Minister* to withdraw from the Government and demands an immediate meeting of Parliament. The British Communist Party in a statement deplores the adoption by Congress of the "pucidal policy of civil disobedience,’* but states that the 3ritish Government’s “clumsy and provocative measures reveal bankruptcy of leadership."
