We are glad to see that the Daily Herald supports
Mr. MacDonald though he is being vehemently accused of treachery by the Independent Labour Party. Mean- while, though there is still much talk about boycotting the Simon Commission in India, there have been disagreements among the boycotters and oh the- whole the movement is weaker rather than stronger. For example, though the Liberals have passed a boycotting resolution, there are many. Liberals in both Bengal and Madras who regret this policy. They would have preferred' merely to protest against the personnel' of the Simon Commission. It should be noted that the Liberal resolution does not go nearly so far as the Swarajist resolution. The Swarajists declare ••roundly that the British Parliament has no right whatever to frame a constitution for India, whereas the Liberals do not dispute that right.
