more attention to the trade union
movement in the colonies" he said.
"The Algerian Federation of Trade
Unions, affiliated with the Unitarian
Confederation, is the largest, uniting
$4,000 members. The trade union
movement in Morocco and Tunis is
less organized. The trade union move
ment in colonial countries while main
tanning ties with the national move
ment must keep strictly the class
line. The movement needs help not
only from the Unitarian Confedera-

world trade union movement"

Carney, of Ireland, demanded a
more active policy in regard to the
revolutionary trade union movement
regarding China I'm the last eighteen

conference.
"Disarm" COnfab.
'The position of the capitalist
countries with regard to the proposals
of the delegation of the Soviet Union
at the preparatory arms commission
at Geneva has shown that the CAPT
talists will use every means to resist
real disarmament as the existence of
capitalism without predatory wars is
impossible. Not only is the Soviet
Union expressing the will Of millions
of toilers in resolutely intervening

congress has charged a special COM

to the workers of all countries re-

the proletariat in the struggle against

under the Influence of the reform
lists"
