SAKLATVALA’S ADMONITION PRIME MINISTERS LECTURED. Australian ami X Z Cable Association, LONDON, December 3. The Communist member for Battersea (Mr S. Saklatvala) has written to all the Dominion Prime Ministers drawing attention to what ho calls “most important human problems and certain political problems.” Air Saklatvala says: ‘‘Probably you were not invited to inspect thousands upon thousands of congested insanitary British homes wherein mothers giving birth to babies are surrounded in the same room, even in the same her, with other grown-up, half-hungry workless children. These are to a largo extent to be your population of the future, for, pick carefully as you may, these wall be the majority of the British people of the next generation. “Tho fussy nature of some of Mr Baldwin’s Cabinet Ministers has just been presented to you as strength, and tho Yarmouth bloater character of some of the British Labour representatives has been placed before you as an. index of tho general contentment of the working class, so von are evidently departing with a safe market in your pocket, and a dream of a strong, well-developed, Conservatively disciplined stream of emigrants, whenever you wliistlo for them. Sty bounden duty is to draw tho attention of you colonials to tho real problems of life which you ought to have studied with greater care than tho calculations of hi sense tiSftfUMuX icadk.’ 2
