BRITISH LABOR
OUTLINES PROGRAM
Accepts the Russian Principle of Self
Determination of Peoples and No
Annexations for British
Empire.

London, Jan. l6.-The British Labor
party in a message to the Russian people
made public yesterday announced that
the British people accepted the Russian
| principle of self determination of peoples
and no annexations for the British EN-.
pire, particularly in the middle east, AT
RIGA and India.
The British Labor party in message
issued yesterday declares in favor of
placing the whole of tropical Africa un-
der uniform international control The
more rapid development of self-govern-
ment for India is promised and a protec-
torate for the peoples of Asia Minor by
an international organization to be con-
sttuted by the peace conference is ia
vored
The message, which was issued by the
Labor party in conjunction with the par
liamentary committee of the trades UNI
ion congress, says:
ave have reached crisis in the war,
The negotiations at Brest Ltovsk have
been interrupted because the Germans
have refused to admit the principle of
self determination of peoples and the
doctrine of no annexation. In thus act
ing, the central powers are speaking
clearly in the name of a militarist state.
'In this crisis the British people must
speak because the Russians can only sue
coed in their great and perilous task II
supported by the people everywhere. The
British people must proclaim TO Russia
and the central powers that its aim is
identical with Russia's. that we, too, see
no solution for the evils of militarism
except self determination and no indem-
mites
I'm applying this Russian principle to
our own case, we are conscious of the
problemcs raised. but we do not shrink |
therefrom The British people accepts !
the principle of no annexations for the |
British empire. This applies in our case |
to the middle east, Africa and India
1--WE wish to remind the Russian people |
that Great Britain, taught by the loss of |
the American colonies in the eighteenth |
century, was the first modern state to l
grant complete determination to any /
group of its inhabitants, for example, the
of Canada, Australia, South 1
Africa and New Zealand. We accept the
