Mr, Lansbury Wants Money Abroad for Britain London, Oct, 1.
Mr. George Lansbury, course of his address chair at the annual Labour Pérty Conference at Birmingham, deplored the disunity prevailing in a few coctions of the party. He emphasized that in democratic movement the majority must rule, Mr. "Lansbury declared that "Socialism is inscribed on our banners," and Britain and all her resources must be owned and used in the service of all the people. He pointed out that the credit and money raised for capitalist investments in Asia'and Africa could as easily be raised to reconstruct Britain's own national resources.
"There is little sense in sending our best people thousands of miles away to grow food if at the same leave our own splendid uncultivated," he added.
The speaker also drew attention to the Government's "criminal folly" in its dealings with India, China and Russia, and declared that, although the party entirely dissented from the proposal to apply Bolshevik methods of organization to Britain, Labour, when it regained power, would hold out the hand of friendship to the Russians.—Reuter.
