Poll Shows COP
 Still Anti-Labor
Stassen's Questionnaire Tags Reactionaries

WASHINGTON -LPA) u The fond dreams of such pro-labor Re publican Congressmen as Senator Wayne Morse, of Oregon, and Charles LaFol1ette, of Indiana, that the Re publican Party could be reformed and made truly "1iberal' party suffered a rude jolt last week.
 Answers to questiOnnaires sent out by the Republican Open For um, sponsored by presidential hopeful, Harold E. Stassen, showed that 799o of the Republicans want further legal restrictions placed on union activities"
 More revealing of basic COP philosophy, however, was the fact that 6395 want outright repeal of the Wagner Act. Other tabulations showed that: 638o want unions sub ject to injunctions; 67@o want juris- dictiona1 strikes outlawed; 52% want the union shop prohibited.
 TipOff of the party's attitude toward labor was seen in the fact that only 5% believe hat the gov ernment should take over busi- nesses that refuse to settle with unions.

In the first statement issued since his election as chairman of the A. F. of L.'s State Non-Partisan Political Committee, Joseph P. Cleary, Bridgeport Teamsters' leader, announced that plans were being developed for a vigorous campaign this fall to elect reliable friends of labor. They will include efforts to induce servicemen who have never voted previously to re- gister and the publishing of the voting records of candidates.
 The State Non-Partisan Political Committee, moreover, will urge all A. F. of L. organizations in Connecti- cut: state associations, councils, cen tral labor bodies and local unions, to set up similar committees to carry on the work of reaching voters and to cooperate with the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor's political program, he said.

 "ReactiOnary political forces in Connecticut, as elsewhere" he said, 'already are trying to take advan- tage of the confusion which their tools in Washington have brought about.

CLAYTON TAKES
SLAP AT JONES
Assistant State Secretary
Goes To Bat For Brit
ish Loan

WASHINGTON, June 8. -PA
Jesse Jones' statement that the
$3.50, 600, 900 British loan would
constitute an exclusive alliance be.
tween America and Britain was de-
scribed Thursday by William L.
Clayton, assistant Secretary of
state as 100 per cent wrong"
AS one Texan to another. CLAYTON
said Jones sis my good friend
but, frankly, I don't think Mr..
Jones understands the British finan-
cial agreement. I'm afraid Mr..
Jones fails to see the forest for
the trees"
Road To "Ruin''
In response to questions by chair
man Spence D.-Ky.) of the House
Banking committee, Clayton an
swered a declaration by Jones,
former Commerce secretary, that
the loan carries us along the road
toward financial ruin" and means
an "alliance with the British to
the exclusion of other countries
notwithstanding our advocacy and
participation in the United Ma
tons"
This is not an alliance" Clay
ton said. "It is perfectly in the
open. There are no bugs under the
chips here. Instead of making 2
world economic bloc it dissolves q
bloc and prevents the formation
of another one."
Doesn't Understand
Telling the committee that 81
don't think Mr.. Jones really under
stands what bilateral trading is"
Clayton pointed to a part of Jones'
statement, sent by mail to the
committee. which said the tall
about multilateral and bilateral
trading is greatly exaggerated"
Clayton, who built a huge inter-
national cotton trade, said Jones,
experience has been principally in
banking Sin a domestic atmos.
pierre" Both men made their
fortunes in Texas.
Emphasizing that Britain had
been forced" into bilateral trad
ing by the war, Clayton said such
agreements would exclude Ameri-
can goods from many world mar.
kets. Under the loan agreement,
he said, Britain will cease such
political arrangements" that shut
out American goods.
He told the committee Jones zap.
pears to look upon the financial
agreement, as SO many people do,
as just a loan to Britain - a hand
ing over of So, 750, 600, 900. That is
a narrow conception"
Britain's agreement to cooperate
in removing restrictions or world
trading is the greatest considera.
ton of the transaction, he argued.
Taking up another phase of the
loan, he read a letter to the com.
mittee from Secretary of State
Byrnes saying the British agree
ment commits Congress and the
United States government to moth.
ing beyond 'the simple terms OF
the loan"
1T does not prejudice the free
dom of choice of Congress or this
government on any other measures
to be taken," Byrnes wrote. The
point had been raised in the COM
mittee as to whether the loan
agreement committed this govern
ment on future world trade policies.
Clayton lambasted proposals that
Britain cede Atlantic islands to the
United States in consideration for
the loan, saying 'this country has
said repeatedly it does not seek
territorial aggrandizement." Clay.
ton said the 99-year leases for mill
tary bases this government now
has on the islands ARE all that

sary to defense"
