Favored Collaboration
With Alfred Mond,
British Fascist
By Alfred Goldstein

At the convention of the Amer
Jean Federation of Labor in San
Francisco sits the General Secretary
of the British Trade Union Con-
gress as a fraternal delegate.
Supposedly representing the Eng
fish working class, he rose to the
floor of the convention few days
ago and tried to appear as an op-
poncnt Of fascism.
When Sir Alfred Mond. leading
English industrialist, openly recog-
nized Fascism and explicitly con-
fessed that his purpose in the in
clustrial peace" negotiations with
the Trade Unicn Congress was di-
rscted toward the same aim as
fascism, it was Citrine who de-
Tended Monds right to be a fascist
and who favored collaboration with

Denver was in first place until
