| Description | Letter, marked 'Private', from James Ramsay MacDonald, House of Commons, to James Leatham. Thanks him for views expressed in leader in the Worker of 15 July. Leatham can stand by statements made about Philip Snowden: the latter had never hinted before that he was so much in disagreement with his colleagues over the Insurance Bill. MacDonald had decided against writing to the Labour Leader over the controversy. Agrees that the desire of Labour leaders to enter Parliament had become 'the biggest obstacle in the way of further progress'. |
