the purpose Of the people in America
never to stop, never even to pause in
their action until we have defeated
this dictator and his associates in
Japan"
The \. F.of l.. president said. he
wanted to assure the British delegates
that in United States and Canada I'VE
are united. collectively united thor
oughly united" with no difference OF
opinion" in the readiness Of working
men and women to give "all in order to
defeat the tyrantS who are seeking to
destroy democracy"
Pressing his request for close col
laboration between the trade unions Of
North America, Britain and Russia,
Mr.. Tanner said: "Such allied labor
unity is necessary, not only TO achieve
maximum war production in our re-
Spective countries. but also because in
ternational unity will permit the work
erS in each country to gain prestige
and he in a position to play a greater
role in the councils of war and in the
national organization Of the war in

For the British people, the matter

issue he said. For us in Britain, ;S
! indeed for the peoples of all the United

urgency that we take the offensive as
soon as possible
Production of war equipment IN
Britain would jump Immediately Il
second front was opened, Mr.. Tanner
claimed. "RumorS that the Allied mill
tary equipment is inferior to tn"
cnemy'S are profoundly diSCoura@ing
to the workers in the faCtoricS.' he
said And when they see accumua-
tions of unused equipment and millions
of soldiers idle. their minds become
| filled with doubts and scepticiSm. Their
output suffers in consequence. Given a
second front as Il visible target at
which our workers can aim, miracles
will be performed in the factories"
Mr.. Tanner indicated British indus
trial workers were not liable to con
scriptiOn. Our men in the factories
and work shops have not yet been
called upon to drop their tools and to
taI;e I'm arms in defense of their fac
