NATIVE RACES
TENETS'OF BRITISH LABOUR PARTY Londoni April 2G. There was a lively passage in the House of Commons during the discussion on the Colonial Oflioo vote. Mr. B. C. Spoor (Labour) urged the necessity for obtaining security of tenure for the natives in llhodosin. Tho' Labour Party, lie said, stood for tho freedom and equality of the native races, tile abolition of economic exploitation of the • coloured people, and tjie introduction of education.
Sir Noivfnn. Mooro urged the Government to adopt a more sympathetic attitude towards the emigration of ox-ser-vice men, especially by co-operating with the Dominions and providing financial assistance. He added that if -Mr. Spoor liad made such a. speech in South Africa or Australia, he would not have won a Labour s«it. "White Australia was the work of the Labour Party, including men like Mr. W. M. Hughes and Mr. Andrew Fisher.
There were many Labour interruptions at the mention these names.' Earl Wintorton shouted to the interrupters: "They fought in the war. They were not 'iiolshies' like you!"—Aus.-N.7i. Cable Assn.
