MR. MACDONALD AND LABOUR

DEMOCRACY'S PERIL

Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, Pre- sident of the National Labour Committee, reminded a confer- ence of the party, held in London, recently, of the circumstances which led to the formation of the National Government in 1931. states the "Observer.".

The idea that when National Labour acted as it did in 1931,"it lost its faith, its principle, and its ideal, was, he said. a pure myth.

In a reference to the distressed industrial areas, Mr. MacDonald criticised the imaginative (claims of the Labour Party speakers in Edinburgh of what they would have done if they had remained in office.

Great Annual March

While Germany was putting the finishing touches to the prepara- tions for the XIth Olympic Games held in Berlin in 1936 and - while the press, broadcasting and the public were fully occupied with the events and the festive rejoicings on the occasion of this "contest of charlots and songa" to use Schiller's words, small parties of German Boys with Hitler. Youth banner in front were marching along the roads in all parts of the Reich. They were only small parties. marching along the roads in well- disciplined formation to the same Hitler goal, detachments of the Youth, from all parts of the coun- try engaged in the great annual march to Nümberg, the Fran- conlan congress town where they assembled at the beginning of the Reich Party Congress

IMPOSITION OF OBLIGATIUN

The boys in these camps, who are from 14 to 18 years of age, are certainly conscious of the advant

of paid leisure in contrast to most or their foreign contemporaries.

"I wish the mind of the coun- try would concentrate on realit les," he went on. "Why quarrelage of enjoying two or three weeks about labels when there la so much necessity to enlist the sup- part of everyone who sets the ad- visability and the wisdom of do- Ing something to solve our mediate problems, whatever the generle label may be that can be 'stuck upon them?"

"I repeat," he emphasised, "that "an irresponsible partisanship saps the unity. the vigour, the deter cination and the spirit of de- mocracy to protect itself against swift initiative of attacking dictatorships, whether of Right or Left, whereas a National Govern- ment, with the co-operation of Labour wherever possible, would be an unassailable united front guarding democracy."

"A copying of the Russian ex- ample is madness and would de- vour our industrial population in distress. Nor can It be worked out in terms of a class war, which has no constructive value. It re- quires a national consciousness, an honest co-operation between all men of good will, and a single- minded devotion as to community well-being.
