Ramsay MacDonald and the I. L. P
April 2, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The Great Britain Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald recently ended his membership in the Independent Labor Party (I.L.P.), Left-wing organization of the labor movement in Great Britain, by announcing that he did not intend to continue his annual subscription to the party funds. The I.L.P. members of Parliament, particularly the Clydesiders, have been among MacDonald's most vociferous and stinging critics during his present term as Prime Minister. In the light of this fact the editorial comment of the "New Leader" weekly organ of the Left wing, on what might be considered MacDonald's defection is surprising and interesting. The editorial is called "The End of a Chapter."
