from a special correspondent One of the first moves of the Government-appointed National Committee for Commonwealth Immigration will be to advise the Government to revise its White Paper on immigration. The committee held its first meeting on October 15th under the chairmanship of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Ramsey. It agreed that some aspects of the White Paper would only hinder the task of helping integration. Members said any control should be non-discriminatory and better provision should be made for immigrants to bring in children over the age of 16. The composition of the committee was also criticised. There are only 3 immigrants on the committee; 2 doctors and a writer. One speaker said working immigrants should also be represented. Bditorial continued/ enable what men say to be examined on its merits, and allow us to evolve, together, towards a condition in which the movement will make its decisions rationally, outside the intrigues and pressures of bureaucratic manipulation, but within the area of serious and dedicated commitment to goal of socialism. For that reason, we cannot today, demand that our sponsors should be in or out of the Labour Party. We can, and do, demand that they should not be 4 compromised, that they should be politically clean. So we are still proud to be associated with the name of Russell. We would not swap one Russell for a thousand Wilsons, Gunters or Greenwoods, in the highest office, but out of their decent minds.
