LABOUR CONFERENCE.

ANGLO-GERMAN ENTENTE. A RAY OF LIGHT. I Ey TclG-;i';iiili.—riT:-- A??oci;ition.— CopyriSjUt j Recieved April 18th, 11.30 p.m. ; London, Last Night. Speaking at the Independent Labour ' Conference at Birmingham, Mr W. Anderson, in his presidential address, ! said Sir Edward Grey's speech was a ray of light heralding a new dawn. : There was more need for an AngloI German agreement than for any other. The present Government had been influenced by scares and grossly imaginative estimates of Germany's ' ship building. The most untutored j Jingo could not have outspoken Mr McKenna. An animated discussion took place on a resolution instructing the labour members to vote on every subject, regardless of the consequences to the Ministry. Many blamed the party for not supporting Mr KeirHardie's protest on the Cambrian i strike. | Mr Ramsay Mac Donald explained they were afraid to censure Mr Winston Churchill and endanger the Government. The conference adjourned. PREVIOUS QUESTION CARRIED Received April 19th, 9.30 a.m. London, Last Night. At the Labour Conference at Birmingham, speakers suggested the withdrawal of the resolution dealing with labourites' votes in the House, Mr Keir Hardie remarked that he feared Liberal as much, if not more than Tory social reform. The resolution did not propose anything which the party had not been doing. The previous question was then moved and carried.
