		No one could doubt his passionate commitment to eradicating poverty and improving people's lives and we should be able to recognise that his motivations were sincere and his objectives right, whilst still disagreeing fundamentally with the methods he advocated and believing that they would not achieve those aims.
		However, one of the qualities which marks James Maxton out from today's politicians is the good reputation he enjoyed.
		I have no doubt that today's lack of interest in politics would have profoundly concerned James Maxton and his contemporaries who lived at a time when few questioned the importance of becoming involved in public affairs and the vast majority accepted that voting was an important civic duty.

	Warrant for arrest of James Maxton and James MacDougall on charges of sedition, 29 Mar 1916
		This was interpreted by the Labour movement in Glasgow as a blatant attempt by the government to smash the CWC and with it workers resistance to the Munitions Act.
		The demonstration was, as expected, a fiery affair in which James Maxton, James McDougall and Jack Smith, an anarchist shop steward from Weirs munitions factory, all gave speeches advocating strike action by Glasgow's workers to ensure the non-implementation of the Munitions Act.
		It was suggested at the time that the three men changed their pleas at the last minute because of the heavy sentences passed at the previous trials of Maclean, Gallacher and Muir.
