THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY,
POLICE AND MR. R. MacDONALD.
SECRET DOCUMENT DISCLOSED.
PROTEST TO HOME OFFICE.
MYSTERY OF PUBLICATION
BY MR. BOTTOMLEY..
BIRMINGHAM, Oct. 5th. The greatest sensation at the Socialist Party Conterence in Bir mingham has been que about which nothing has been said in public.
It has been caused by the pub
2
lication of what is declared to be secret and confidential police report on the activities" from 1916 to 1991 of Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, the Socialist ex-Prime Minister. The publication is made in a week- ly journal edited by Mr. Horatio Bottomley,
It is understood that Mr. Ramsay MacDonald has sent a protest to the Home Office, complaining that this secret and confidential official docusient or a copy of it-should have found its way into the hands of Mr. Horatio Bottomley,
Explanation Awalted. An official investigation of the
mystery is proceeding, and Mr. Ramsay MacDonald's friends are anxiously awaiting an' explanation.
The report is stated to have been drawn up by. Scotland Yard. Sir Basil Thomson, formerly Assistant- Commissioner, is said to hare heen responsible for it.
Delegate at the Socialist confer- ence have been asking whether the report was sent to the Home Office. and, if no. how it comes about that a secret document lodged in the Home Office archives påsses into the possession of Mr. Bottomley
If it has not leaked out of the Home Office, they want to know whence it has come.
MR. MACDONALD VINDICATED.
It is interesting to note "that while the report shows "how, due- ing the war period, the leader of the Labour Party" was shadowed and reported upon by the police." the conclusion it reaches is a testi- mony to Mr. Ramsay MacDoriali, It is anid to end up with this statement:
Events of 1990, and more parti- cularly the divisions in the Lade- pendent Labour Party, bave proved MacDonald to be a constitutional Socialist and not a Bolshevist.
He has opposed, actively and successfully, the Reds in the ranks of his own party, and it is largely due to his leadership that the In dependent Labour Party has not become aflated to the Third Inter-
national"
It will be observed that the report speaks of "MacDonald," not of "Mr.", MacDonald. It is also stated that it invariably spells his name "McDonald."
Some of the alleged activities of Mr. MacDonald with which the report deals are these:-
OCTOBER 22ND, . 1916.—Meeting of the committee of delegates of the Russian Socialist group and the Jewish Socialist Democratic Or- ganisation in London. Mr. Mac- Donald "wished success to the meeting in its fight for freedom, and expressed regret that he was unable to be present."
JANUARY 9TH, 1017.-Mr. Мас Donald speaks at a meeting at Walthamstow. "The hall," says the report, was rushed by col- diers and Mr. MacDonald wn's violently thrown from the plat form."
