ANTI-IMPERIALIST
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph— Copyright). LONDON, Jan. 15. “Sir Austen Chamberlain is to blame for this.” declared Saklatvala. “We were given the option of spending the night on tile quayside in a police lock-up. or a hotel. Me chose the latter. I protest strongly against, the unconstitutional methods by which armed men forcibly took our passports, railway tickets and baggage, and will insist on being allowed to proceed to Germany. The British Foreign Office must have influenced the Belgian Foreign Office. We have been fighting for open seaports and shall now fight for open railroads.” Following a full examination of their papers Saklatvala, Maxton and Bndgeman were permitted to continue their journey to Cologne.
The Ministry of Justice announces they were detained because their papers were not in order, and because it is believed that a meeting of the League of Anti-Imperialism was to beheld in Belgium.
