LABOUR AND THE PRINCE./

OPPOSITION TO A LINCOLN VISIT.

Inconsed by exclusion from the Aldermanis bench and contending that they have not adequate re- presentation on certain commit- toos, the Labour members, who comprise nearly half the Linclon City Council, in order to draw fur- ther attention to their grievances, protested with some bent, at the meeting of the Council, against an invitation being extended to the Prince of Wales to open the new Usher Art Gallery at Lincoln, next May.

The chief spokesman of the La- bour group, Counciller C. Snock, sald had no personal feelings against the Prince, who was en- titled to the same respect as an ordinary citizen-rather did he sympathise with the Prince, whom The thought was a victim of circum- stances but if he were the 'lova- ble young man he was supposed to be, it would not be fair to"invíté him down to open this Gallery when the Committee responsible for its running was not a harmoni- ous family.

Another Labour member (Coun- cillor J. K. Fox) said that if the Prince's visit meant spending money on show and that kind of thing, he was not going to sup- port it. If they had any money to spend, there were plenty of poor people in the city to give itīta

Despite the Labour opposition, it was decided to proceed with the arrangements for the Prince's visit.
