INDIAN DELEGATES GO
PROTEST AGAINST LABOUR SPLIT IN CONFERENCE (United P.A.—By Telegraph—Copyright / (Australian P.A.—United Service) LONDON, Thursday. The Indian delegates have withdrawn from the Commonwealth of Labour Conference, as a protest against the appointment of members of the Labour Party to the Indian Commission. Mr. Chamanal. speaking at the conference, criticised the Labour Party’s treatment of India when the Labour Government was in power. He said the Indian Labour Party was opposed to Sir John Simon’s mission, because India was not represented on it. It demanded an Anglo-Indian round-table conference, to discover the best method of immediately giving self-government to India.
Mr. George Lansbury, Labour member of the House of Commons for Bow and Bromley, states that the Indian delegates withdrew because the conference, in conformity with its decision to pass no resolutions, declined to adopt one yi relation to the Indian Commission. He said the Labour Party was prepared to co-operate constitutionally with India to obtain for her self-government and political and economic freedom, and equality with the rest of the Empire.
