 Confidence in Congress.
 We have utmost confidence in the ability of the congress-" it was added, ito successfully meet the present cru cial conditions, and continue to func- ton successfully in guarding the in terests of it's affiliated membership.
 Tn Canada as in practically all oth- CT countries,' continued the report, the trades union movement has suf- fered from those who-'boring from within'-aim to bring about the dis ruption and destruction of the trades union movement and throughout the dominion these tactics are being car ried on insidiously and consistently.
 No Let-up in Campaign.
 There has been no let-up in the campaign (dictated by the third in ternationale of Moscow of 'belittling'
 slandering' and in every possible way undermining confidence and respect for all who hold office in our move ment whether local, national or in ternational. This has brought about in many places a temporary weaken ing of the morale and self-discipline of our members with the result that the efforts of greedy employers and i-fo fo LV~;,, o reduction in the standards of wage earners and to destroy the growing power and influence of the trades union movement have been far more successful than otherwise would have been the case"
 While expressing disapproval of some of the declarations and mani festoa issued by the international federation of trade unions during the past year. the council said the best interest of all will be conserved by our continuing to take active part and interest in the work of the inter 1 national federation of trade unionss' s' Agains: Moscow.

 possibility Of nations living in har- | mony," added the report, "without | their borders being guarded by armed
 forces. is demonstrated by the thou
 sands of miles of undefended border
 between United States and Canada. | "Internationa1 trades uniona com posed of common membership be- l tween these countries has been a DO.
 tent factor in maintaining this con
 dition, by bringing about a common
 knowledge of the identity of interes | between the masses of wage earners i on both sides of the border and sub- stitutirg toleration and understanding for intolerance and armed power"
