LABOUR PARTY’S CAMPAIGN. GREAT OPENING RALLY. (United Press Association.! CBy Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, April 28. Mr Ramsay MacDonald, in launching the Labour Party’s election campaign at a great rally in the Albert Hall, said that unemployment bulked laigest in the Labour Party’s mind. Britain to-day was facing a complete, revolution in transport, owing to the development of motors and electricity, which the Labour Party believed must be assisted, or Britain would be unable to compete with foreign markets. Labour proposed to appoint a committee, over which the Prime Minister would preside, and to which all questions of markets, currency, and industry would be referred. Roads would be built systematically, bridges broken down and reconstructed, and railways reconditioned, Mr MacDonald sd(’#d: “We want peace in Europe, Diplomatic relations with Russia, which if it had committed the 10,000 faults and crimes of which it is accused, cannot be be left cut by any far-seeing man.”~Australian Press Asso ciation.
