Morgan Philips Price
Morgan Philips Price (29 January 1885 – 23 September 1973) was a British politician and a Labour Party Member of Parliament (MP).
He was born in Gloucester. His father, William Edwin Price, was also a British MP, serving for the seat of Tewkesbury. M. Philips Price was schooled at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge. When his father died in 1886, Price - then one year old - inherited an estate of some 2,000 acres (8.1 km2).
His political life began as a member of the Liberal Party, and he was selected as a prospective party candidate for Gloucester (1911–14). However, he took an anti-war stance at the outbreak of the First World War joining the anti-war Union of Democratic Control at its inception. In 1914, he also published "The Diplomatic History of the War".
He was then recruited by C.P. Scott of the Manchester Guardian, and became a war correspondent for the Eastern Front. As a Russian speaker, he was subsequently able to observe and report on the Russian Revolution. In 1921, he returned to Britain and published "My Reminiscences of the Russian Revolution" which showed sympathy to the government of Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks.
Price was later employed by the Daily Herald as a correspondent in German from 1919–23.
