Most important resolution unani-
mously adopted by the WITH Execu-
tive Bureau called for peace and OPP
posed rumors and plans for a third
and atomic world war.
The complete text of the resolution
follows:
"The World Federation of Trade
Unions, founded in the course of the
second world war and expressing the
universal aspiration Of all workers,
stated that one of it's primary pur-
poses should be to combat war and the
causes of war and work for stable
and enduring peace.
'The Executive Bureau of the WIZ
TU therefore, can not conclude its
September 1916 session in Washington
without giving expression to the deep
Of +loo 0fr
with the growing threat to peace.
1.-THE workers nave noted with
alarm that the coalition of freedom
loving nations which was the key to
victory has not been main
tanned with the firmness and unity
of purpose essential to the establish
nfent of an enduring peace. They
have been further disturbed by the
failure to pursue the military defeat
Of the fascist powers by determined
struggle to extirpate fascism in all its
forms and manifestations, wherever
they may be found.
Their uneasiness is augmented by
the terrible threat that atomic energy,
which should hold out the promise of
benefits to all mankind, |
will be used for mankind's destruc-
ton.
'The workers of the world hate
war. Their deepest wish is for the
of the peace which they
sacrificed so much to gain. They
want to devote themselves to the re-
of the war-devastated
ands, to raising their living standards
ind to the full realization of the de-
nocratic rights and liberties for which
hey fought.
'sThe Executive Bureau, in their be-
lalf, calls upon the governments of
he United Nations to return to the
policies of friendship and close COLA
'oration which they manifested in the
var against the common enemy and
which alone can guarantee stable
ieace. We call upon them to repudiate
he voices of reaction which today,
My a short year after victory and !
nder the pressure of the selfish in
erests of the monopolists and big t
capitalists, inimical to the public well |
are, are spreading the idea of a pos I
ible third world war. {
1.-THE Executive Bureau also calls up |
n it's 70 million members to make Y
nown to each of thei governments a
1eir determination to oppose the G
for another war and to
efeat the evil forces of fascism and ;
FACTION which are menaeing the peace !
nd which are Haunting the same ideo- ;,
,gical banners which were carried :
Y nazism and fasciSm.
''The unity and solidarity of the or n
anized workers of the world as re- !,
resented in the WITH offers the
rmest assurance that the catastrophe 4
, war shall not again be visited upon II
Le world. The WITH can not remain II
assive in the face of the dangers II
hich menace peace. II
1--WE call upon the workers of all
nds to close their ranks in the fight
r an enduring peace, a fight which III
ust be joined by all people of good III
