BRITON IN CEYLON
ORDER TO LEAVE ISLAND
COUNCIL URGES REPEAL
(Received May 6, 11.5 p.m.) COLOMBO, May o
The authorities in Ceylon have ordered Mark Bracegirdle, who is a young Londoner and a tea plantation migrant from Australia, to leave by the liner Mooltan within 24 hours owing to his activities in the local Socialist Party, which is led by an Indian woman.
The State Council passed a resolution to-day by 34 votes to seven that the Governor's expulsion of Bracegirdle violated the Constitution and the express conditions of his appointment. The council requests the Ministers to press for the repeal of the order.
