British LabOr's International Peace
Policy
"The third and last factor is that
the British trade union movement has
a definite world peace policy, which
it intends to press upon the govern
ment. AS workers we have nothing
but the best feelings towards those of
the countries who are opposed to US.
We include in this the citizens of the
Soviet Republic. Whilst the British
trade union movement as whole has
never been in sympathy with the
philosophy behind Sovietism, we have
been the greatest defenders Of Russia
when it has been attacked by it's en-
emies based upon prejudice and
hatred. Because of this we deplore

some extraordinary reason which we
cannot understand, betrayed the prin-
ciples it has professedly stood for, for
so many years. She has affirmed, and
by her alliance with Hitler what many
have said, that in her heart she is
anti-democratic and has been the en-
emy of true liberty. This has been
contributed to by her outrageous
action towards Poland.
War Must Not Be Continued For
"War's Sake"
"Whilst naturally | have not been
in touch with developments in Great
Britain since | left nearly four weeks
ago. | believe that know sufficiently
of the mind of the movement to state
most emphatically that we are not
going to be a party to the continuance
Of the war for wars sake. The work
ers always suffer most in struggles
of this kind. We shall always be ready
to consider a negotiated peace, but we
must be satisfied that there is real
desire for lasting world peace and
the desire to. redress wrong, whether
it refers to Austria, Czechoslovakia,
Poland, or the German people. When
the time of negotiation comes, in the
view of the British trades union
movement, in addition to what | have
just stated, the following features at
| least must be the basis of future
world peace:
Rehabilitation of League Covenant
Stressed
81. The rehabilitation of the League
Covenant which will carry with it
disarmament and arbitration in in
ternational disputes, of whatever
kind.
"2. The acceptance Of absolute free
trade and service between all nations
of the world.
"33. The setting up of machinery by
which every nation will have the
right to the distribution according to
their need of the raw materials of the
earth.
"a. The enjoyment by all peoples of
a full life by international regulation
of working and social conditions.

an other words, it has to be con-
tinually emphasized, until achieved,
that world peace cannot come about
until there is international justice in
the spheres of politics, economics,
industrial and social life. We believe
that towards this end the principles
Of the League Covenant and those of
the international labor organizations
can play a helpful part if only all
nations will be prepared not to live
for themselves but for the good Of
humanity as a whole.
Involvement of United States In
European War Is Not Desired
"With an attempt to avoid future
misunderstanding, in view Of present
discussions in your country, ! desire
to say most emphatically that as far
as the British trade union movement
is concerned, there is not the slight
est desire that the great American
Republic should be involved in the
war. You alone must determine your
own policy without the advice Of or
unaided by outsiders. | have explain
ed to you our policy. We have de-
termined upon it and shall follow it
because we consider it is our obliga-
ton to make a supreme sacrifice in
the interests Of and the preservation
Of democracy. We believe that right
will triumph over wrong, and when
that time comes we shall insist that
justice, and not revenge, as in 1919,
shall be the basis for lasting world
peace.

associated IL that endsay or.
