MAXTON EXPELLED
BY ANTI-IMPERIALISM LEAGUE SUPPORTED GOVERNMENT Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 1.5 p.m. LONDON, Thursday. The British Section of the League Against Imperialism expelled from membership its chairman, Mr. James Maxton, M.P., who is also chairman of the Independent Labour Party, on the ground of his neglecting to fight the Labour Government’s policy in Egypt., also bis support of the Government’s measures to crush the Arab revolt in Palestine. Mr. Maxton replied that he does not intend to be bullied. Dissension in the British Communist Party is revealed by the demand of a number of branches for the removal of Mr. Harry Pollitt, Mr. Arthur Horner and Mr. J. R. Campbell from the Political Bureau, on the ground that they are “right-wing” men. The demand was apparently instigated at Moscow, which is dissatisfied ■with the Communists’ achievements in Britain, and which insists on a more intense war against the Socialist Government.
