THE LABOUR SUSPENSIONS
A PARTY DISCUSSION. MR MACDONALD’S ADVICE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, July 4. (Received July 4, at 10 p.m.) At a meeting of the Labour Party a two hours’ discussion took place Wednesday’s suspensions in the House of Commons. Mr Ramsay MacDonald, in an emphatic speech, urged that such scenes did not affect the prestige of Parliament, which could look after ilself, but they prejudiced the Labour Party in Parliament and in the country. Members of the party, he said, must keep before themselves the ideal of Labour becoming responsible for the Government of the country. Mr MacDonald carefully avoided. condemning the four suspended members, but he suggested that his authority as leader must be upheld. The result of the meeting was that the constitutionalists were victorious over the wild men of the Labour Party.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
