LABOUR PARTY’S REPLY
TO SIB JAMES ALLEN. STATEMENT DESCRIBED AS UNTRUE. Per Press Association. WESTPORT, May 10. Speaking at a Labour function here to-niglit, Mr H. E. Holland, M.P., chairman of the . Parliamentary Labour Party, referring to Sir Janies Allen’s recent, contrioution to the “Manchester Guardian,’,’ said that if the' cabled reports were correct Sir James Allen had misused his position as High Commissioner to propagate an inferential falsehood concerning the Labour Party. It was utterly untrue, ho added, that there was a lack of cohesion in the Labour Party’s rankß, and it was likewise untrue that a number of Labour members did not favour constitutional methods. There were only eight Labour members in the present Parliament, and every one of them was loyal to the policy of the organised Labour movement, which stood for constitutional methods, as a glance at the Labour platform would show. _ He said Sir James Allen’s indiscretion would be brought before at the first opportunity, and he described .Mr Wilford’a remarks in this connection, aa somewhat ill-tempered and an altogether ludicrous outburst which would prove a source of, merriment to the Labour movement, but hardly deserving of notice otherwise.
