weal Now that the Tories have, in practice, dropped all pretence ebout the Cobian Timigration Bill being anything other than a piocco of race diseriminetion jagislation, there is donsiderable speculation about thair reasons for bringing in the “ill, The lobby correpondent of the Nottingham Iivening Nows, a syndicated column, writes:
“Although the Government is already in hot weter over the Hill, thera are those who think in tho end it will Help to win the nert General Bleotion for the Conservitives. They believe, moreover, that Hr, Isin Macleod, the now leader of the House and chairman of the Conservative Party, hos this week made an adroit political more that will de mich to bring this about."
He then axplaina that Mecleod agraed,after Labour proteats, to hava the committee stege of the Bill on the floor of the House instead of in the rele tive obscurity of a stadning committes, And goee on:
"But men Government supporters regard that as & supremely olevar move oe bacsuse now, day after day in committee, Labour will be arguing that the Jill is a ocolour-conscicus one and thet Eritein ought to keap hear doors wide opens..."
"This Labour attitudes, though it may be high-principled...e.se.ia in the opinion of the Conservatives, unpopular in the eountry which....«agracs with the Governmont.s...."
"Mir, Meolood.....,hos ensured a long period of woet will amount to anti-Labour propavanda at a oritical time when the General Hleotion is approach= ing"
4s this seems a most feasible explanation of the various Government moves and would help to explain the indecent haste with which the Pill was brought forward (without even consulting certain commonwealth Goverments) it is more im ortant than ever that wa redouble cur efforts against the Bill, We are confronted with a situation where thea Toriea sseam +o deaided ta use racialiam as a diversion from growing dissatisfaction with their policies, This maane tha Immigration Bill sould be only one of a whole suries of moves thet will make on these lines. Again, in this situation there will ba many voices in thea lebour mvement which want +o drop opposition to tha Hill and other messures because of the fear of losing votes.
