[United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] CAPETOWN, January 2. "At a conference of Colonel Cresswell’s section of tlie* Labour Party, a resolution was carried declaring that the continuance of the pact existing between the Party and the Nationalist • Party was no longer in the interests /of Labour'and calling on the Party Executive to terminate the alliance beJore next January. / This resolution was carried in the face of a- strong speech by Hon Colonel ■Cresswell, who denounced the termination of the pact before 1934, when the next general election would fall, if the present Government lasted the full term. It would, lie said, be politically - dishonest to end the pact before then. It is not improbable that Colonel Cresswell may solve liis personal problem by quitting the Labour Party find declaring himself a Nationalist.
