CASE OF S.A. DEPORTEDS.
OPINIONS OF LABORITES. jJthr Electric Telegraph—Copyright I [United Press Ab»ooxat t oh 1 London, April 8. At the Labor Conference, Mr Seddon, proposing a resolution, declared that the attempt in South Africa to put down trade unionism was only a forerunner of a similar movement in Britain. Mr Ramsay MacDonald said the Laborites would not agree with that once a co-colony was a dominion it had a right to use its power to interfere with the principles of British citizenship. He considered that the Homeland was the source of Imperial power, and they must have a right to express their views, whether with regard to South Africa or Australia. The Indemnity Act was a monstrous piece of iniquitous legislation, against which they ought to protest, not merely as Laborites, but as men responsible for the .liberties of the Empire. Messrs MacDonald and Seddon will sail for South Africa shortly.
