R. ROY. Mr. MacDonald proved once more | a treacherous leader to the labo» | movement of England and India. Mr. | MacDonald has proved once more that | he and his followers are imperialists.

This commis- sion-which is appointed by the im-! perialists is going to decide what kind | of home rule should be given to In-! Trade Union Congress decided unan- imously to have nothing to do with this commission. Mr. MacDonald should read the resolution passed by the Indian Trade Union Congress tu establish Workers’ and Peasants’ government in India.

Mr. MacDonald and his | party say that in supporting this commission they will be able “to serve the best interests of the masses of India.” Lord Birkenhead and his die-hard brothers have no reputation to lose} in India. But what are we to think} of the performance of Mr. MacDon ald? He has tried to run with the hare and hunt with the hound. He asked that the relative status of the bodies—the Simon Commission and the Committee of the Indian Parlia ment—should be defined. He pleaded for “an equality of status.” Mr. Bald- | win in his reply did not definitely coe Al no but politely suggested that thic could not be done. F . 8 8 | Mr. MacDonald’s next suggestion | was that the. Simon Commicsion should have an Indian commission sit- ting with them, Sir Simon presidine over the joint sitting of both, and the Indian representatives havine ex- actly the same rights and status. The Donald supported the bill. Mr. Sak- latvala moved the rejection of the bill. Mr. Saklatvala urged the appoint- ;ment of a commission composed en | tirely of Indians to come to Brite to cross-examine the British gove |ment, to hear the British witnes: and advise the house in forming the Constitution of Indian Independence. | Laborite Buchanan seconded the mo- tion to reject the bill. ...
