Boston. - President William Green
of the American Federation of Labor
told the convention of the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers here
that a joint delegation representing
the AFL and the British Trades
Union Congress is being sent to Italy
to aid in the rebuilding and mainte-
nance of a democratic trade union
movement in that country.
Mr.. Green said that this was the
first step in a concerted effort by
British and American labor to help
restore the democratic labor move
ment on the continent of Europe as
opportunity for such action is devel-
oped with the advance of Allied
troops.
He announced that the AFL dele
gate to Italy would be Luigi Antonini,
vice-president of the garment workers
and president of the Italian-American
Labor Council, representing 100000
organized Italian American workers.
Mr.. Green said the State Department
had given consent to Mr.. Antoninl's
departure and would facilitate his mis-
sion. Mr.. Antonini plans to depart for
Italy within a few weeks.
Mr.. Green in his address stressed
the demand of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor for a democratic peace
and immediate formation of a United
Nations Council preliminary to the
establishment of an international or
ganization to enforce peace.
"We consider the restoration of free
and governing tr d e un o
throughout the world as an organic
prerequisite for the restoration OF de-
mocracy in all countries where 1t has
been shattered" Mr.. Green said. We
consider this also as an essential guar
antee of an enduring and just peace.
1t is inconceivable that the workers OF
Europe, long trained in the ways OF
democratic organization, will, upon
their liberation, be satisfied with any
thing less or with any fraudulent tola-
itarian substitute"
Mr.. Green welcomed President
Roosevelt's announcement that steps
would be taken by the United States
to implement the Moscow declaration
