summer of 1934 that the Labour Party, like the ILP, was beginning to encounter demands from its youth for organisational independence, ( The Leftward Development of the British Youth Movement , Inprecorr , Vol.14, No.33, 8 June 1934, 890-I). That winter T. Harvey praised the "big breakthrough" by the League into united front activity, ( Inprecorr , Vol.14, No.59, 24 Nov. 1934, 1590-1). 45. Two young South African Group members, Sid Frost and Ted Grant, seem to have raised the possibility of Labour League of Youth work in Spring 1935, but stayed in the ILP. Harber and Kirby withdrew early in the year, however, though they continued in connection with their erstwhile comrades of the Marxist Group, (AB Doncaster et al., to the International Secretariat, [CL, April? 1935], H.P., D.J.H. 5/2). 46. The most illustrious of those recruited to the Marxist Group was Cyril Lionel Robert James (1901- ), a Trinidadian writer and cricketer who came to England in 1932 as a constitutional radical. That year, while living at Nelson and playing cricket in the Lancashire League, he published chapters of his The Life of Captain Cipriani as a pamphlet under the title The Case for West-Indian Self Government (1932). Neville Cardus offered him a post as a cricket correspondent for The Manchester Guardian , which he kept for some years. For James's political evolution see Ivor Oxaal, Black Intellectuals Come to Power , 1966, 66-7 passim and James's own collection of essays, The Future in the Present (1979). See
