A BROKEN MAN

FINISHED WITH POLITICS MOSLEY’S REPORTED CONDITION. BRITISH LABOUR PARTY DISSENSIONS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, November 27. “Sir Oswald and Lady Mosley are living in an isolated 14-roomed house which adjoins a large farm in Oxfordshire and is well away from any main roads and over six miles from the nearest village," says the “Daily Telegraph.” "Mosley has given the police a personal undertaking that he has finished with politics. He is described as a broken man. He rises from a chair only with the greatest difficulty." A grave internal crisis is threatened in the Labour Party as a result of the -decision of the Labour members in the House of Commons to take no official action on the release of the Mosleys. This decision conflicts with the resolutions which were adopted by the Labour Party’s national executive and the Trades Union Congress executive dissociating themselves from the action of the Home Secretary, Mr Morrison, in releasing Mosley. The. decision of the Parliamentary Labour Party has aroused bitterness among trade union leaders and rank and file members of the Labour Party.
