BRITISH BARRISTER
SPEECH OFFENDS CHINESE DEPORTATION DExMANDED SHANGHAI, May 15. The difficulty uf free speech in public in China is cleariy evidenced by the action yesterday of the Shanghai Kuomintang, which passed a resolution demanding that Nanking should take action to secure the deportation of Mr R. G. MacDonald, a British barrister, whose speech at the ratepayers’ annual meeting on April 16 secured the rejection of a proposal to increase the Chinese membership on the Municipal Council from three to five, which was adopted at a subsequent meeting. The local Kuomintang considers that Mr MacDonald’s criticism of the Chinese was most insulting, and points out that its demand for an apology was not met. Consequently it desires his deportation.
