RUIN AS OF ROME
STERN WARNING TO BRITAIN LABOUR LEADER’S VIEW By Cable. — Press Association.—Copyright LONDON. Monday. A remarkable attack on greyhound racing was made by Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, Leader of the Labour Party, in a speech at the party’s conference at Blackpool. He said the paganising of modern living had invaded all classes of the community. The moral curse of plutocracy was on them. “You can see it in this greyhound racing,” said Mr. MacDonald. “If our people require that feeling which sacrifices . trong moral rectitude for the flash enticements of the day and hour, as did the people of Rome, then Britain will be ruined as Rome was ruined.”—A. and N.Z.
