LONDON, Feb. 9.-Sir Walter Cit

Congress, just returned from a tour
of England, said today the Firms

if planes now earmarked for them

Sir Walter visited Finland as the

Talks With Nazis Opposed.
Great Britain's labor millions,
through the national executive Of
the Labor party, last night declared
unequivocally against peace ,nego-
tiations with any NaZi government
in Germany.
A document giving the war pur-
poses and peace aims of the chief
opposition British party demanded
as a condition for ending the war
actual acts of restitution and free
dom for Poles and Czecho-Slovaks.
Austria should be allowed to choose
for herself whether to be in or out
side of the Reich, it said.
The statement, drafted by the
supreme governing body of the party,
gave the most explicit definition yet
of the party's war and peace aims.
1t is to be submitted to the party's
national conference in May for de-
bate and adoption as the definite
labor policy of this country.
Russia Condemned.
Despite the party's long advocacy
relations and criticism of the British
government for "clumsiness" in deal
ing with the Soviet Union, the Labor
pronouncement condemned Russias
"unprovoked attack on Finland in
shameless imitation of Nazi tech
nioue'
1t said I'VE should regard extinc-
ton Of. the free Finnish democracy
as an intolerable disaster for civili-
zation."
Hugh Dalton, party spokesman,
in commenting on the statement,
said it was more specific on war and
peace aims than any definition of
policy by the Chamberlain govern
ment. The latter, he said, never
hal gone so far in declaring against
peace negotiations with any leaders
of the Nazi regime.
Faithlessness Charged.
On this point the statement said:
