since the end of the war. To men
ton an example, England is slow
ly regaining her old position in
world shipping. She already oc-
cupies first place in ship construc-
ton.
Nevertheless, the war drain on
British physical and mental resour-
ces has been tremendous, and it is
probable that crises will reoccur.
Most significant, on the other hand,
is the determination of the Brit
ish people to regain their place
in the sun, no matter how hard
the road. The American people will
be well advised not to take the out
breaks of the anti-labor opposition
too seriously. The confidence of the
masses in the Attlee- Bevin- Morri-
son governement is best illustrated
by the fact that the Labor Party,
SO far, has lost no by-election-an
unprecedented feat, especially when
we realize the hardships to which
the people have been, and still are
exposed.
Britain Relies On u. S. Labor
81 also talked with Foreign Sec
retary Bevin, Lord Citrine, head OF
the new Electricity Board, and 9TH
er government, labor and public
spokesmen. The emphasis placed
by the British leaders on the friend
ship and support of the American
workers was particularly hearten-
ing to labor visitor from Ameri-
ca. Secretary Bevin asked me to
carry his good wishes back to the
leaders and members of our unions
and to tell them that Britain relies
upon their understanding in this
second battle for survival. Mr.. Bev-
ms words will meet with warm
response, / am sure.
"No review of present-day Eu-
rope can be complete without men
tion of Sweden. The Sweden peo-
pie. having entrusted the leader
ship of the nation to the Social
Democratic Labor Party for over
decade, occupy today truly uni
que position on the old continent.
Their political and economic health
is a testimony to their common
sense, as we'll as to good leader
ship.
To Tell Swedish Labor Story
Swedish organized labor follows
course, which in democratic
meaning and significance parallels
that of our movement. To be sure,
there are differences dictated by
traditions, geographical and other
factors, but the basic beliefs and
policies are the same. The Swed-
ish Federation of Labor, through
it's president, Axel Strand, has APP
pointed me its American represen-
tative and liaison officer with the
trade unions Of America. | shall
see to it that the achievements of
Swedish organized labor become
thoroughly known in America and
that a full measure of support is
given to the Swedish people, who
are the outposts OF democracy and
progress on that bleak continent" :"

Council Urges
(Continued From Page One)

VI Day, military leaders are talk
ing publicly in terms of the "next
war;" Some contend it will be a
"pushbutton" war and others ex-
press the belief that hostilities will
break out so soon that troops and
battleships will still be needed.
Indeed, incredible as it seems,
the UNO has failed in all this time
even to bring about international
agreement to abolish the horrors
of atomic warfare and to develop
unclear energy for the betterment
of the human race.
The deterioration of internation-
al relations has reached such
alarming proportions that an even
tual break appears inevitable un-
less strong and constructive lead
ership is exerted.
The Executive Council believes
that the United States should not
be content with sitting back and
waiting for the next move by Rus
sia. We are convinced that our
country should take the initiative
toward seeking an immediate clar-
ification of the difficulties existing
between our country and Russia.
War with Russia should be pre-
vented if at all possible. Delay and
shadow-boxing, diplomatic maneu-
vers will not solve but only aggra-
vate the issues.
1t is long time, perhaps too
long, since the heads of the great
powers, which cooperated so sue
cessfully during the war, sat down
together to exchange views and
reach understandings.
The Executive Council believes a
new conference is necessary to end
existing impasses and to chart a
more effective program of cooper
alton for world peace in the future.

They pointed out that unwitting-

New York City-(1LNS SpeciaD
-Scathing condemnation of Com
munist intrigues in Western
Europe, particularly in France, was
voiced by DR.. Alexander S. Lip
sett, international labor expert and
newly appointed American repre-
sentative of the Swedish Fedora
tion of Trade Unions, following his
return from 8 months survey
abroad. Reports of his findings will
be submitted to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor executive council
and other groups.
While criticizing "red fascist
policies which aim to keep Europe
in a state of adject misery" DR..
Lipsett had words of high praise
for the British people and the La
bor government. He was in London
during the recent crisis and con-
ferred with Foreign Secretary Ern-
est Bevin and the leadership Of the
British trade union movement.
Prior to his visit to France and
England he studied conditions in
Sweden and other scandinavian
countries.
Finds France In Crisis
"My trip to Europe this summer
was punctuated by momentous de-
velopments," DR.. Lipsett said. 81
found France in the midst of an
economic, moral and political crisis
the significance of which can hard
ly be exaggerated My talks with
French labor leaders proved beyond
doubt that Communism has been
able to wrest control from the
hands of the old and tried demo-
cratic leadership. The men who now
profess to speak for 5 million or
ganized French workers are little
more than stooges and errand boys
of Moscow.
at is impossible to imagine the
plight of the French people, pla-
gued by domestic dissension, the
black market and a host of un-
scrupulous exploiters. Wages are
insufficient, many essentials are
lacking, and the political tension is
so great that anything-for in
stance a civil warts likely to oc-
cur at a moments notice. No won
der the Communists are taking ad-
vantage of the situation.
UNFORTUNATELY, this state of af-
fairs has also its foreign repercus-
sions, as shown by French unwill-
ingness to let Germany get back on
her feet, economically. Curiously
enough, the French seem blind to
the consequences of these policies
that is, unless we realize that
all this, in so far as the left is
concerned, serves the Communist
cause.
Sees Gains In England
ain England DR.. Lipsett con-
tinued, 81 found a different at
mosphere. True, British economic
conditions are not good, but there
is nothing wrong with the spirit of
the British people. ] attended the
momentous crisis debates in Parlia-
ment, and it was this experience
which gave me new faith in the
British people and their ability to
see matters through. also talked
with many labor and public lead
ers and was thus able TO gain first
hand impressions and knowledge of
prevailing conditions.
ain my opinion, all this talk
about Britain on the verge of col
lapse is silly. The crisis is serious,
yet it is a fact that the British
have made substantial progress

NofionuI Health
Coop Denounces
TIL Slave Low

Elk City, Okla.-(LPA)-Reso-
buttons calling for REPEAL of the
Taft Hartley law and objecting to
the House Committee investigation
of cooperatives, were passed with
out a dissenting vote by the 300
delegates to the Cooperative Health
Federation second annual conven-
tion here Sept. 5-6-7.
This is believed to be the first
case in which national, non-labor
| organization attacked the Taft
Hartley law in such a sweeping
| fashion.
Labor delegates including two
from the ST. Louis Retail, Whole
sale & Dept Store Union, Director
Harold J. Gibbons and Max Voras,
| organizer, piloted the resolution
thru the convention.
Although the convention was
dominated by farmers, there was
not dissenting vote against the
Taft Hartley repeal resolution. The
resolution declared that the law at
tacks the right of American
workers to organize voluntarily
for their economic betterment." +"
The health and welfare clauses of
the act make the distribution of
medical care in the interests Of pa
tiepts impossible, the convention
declared.
The attack on the Congressional
coop investigation charged that
the destruction of consumer coop
eratives was the intent, and that
the hearings were conducted with
out trace of honesty.
Harry Read of the national ClO,
appearing before the labor commit
tee,- called for national labor con-
ference on health care to be held
this year. He promised national CO.
operation i'm scheduling such con-
ference. "We want the medical pro-
fession and its allied professions
to fill the needs of the people, and
we propose to make it possible
fol those technically trained ex-
perts to fill those needs" Read
said" This phase of the matter is
not medical question, it is an
economic question, and it's solution
is as vital to any worker as other
economic matters such as wages,
hours, working conditions, and edu-
cation for his children. He knows
that our economic system can well
afford to support all adequate,
overall health care program. He
wants such program and he is
willing to finance it through his
labor, not only for himself and
the immediate members of his fam
lily, but for all the people"
Representatives of the Grange,
| the Farmers Union, the Farm Bu-
reau and cooperatives took part in
the proceedings, discussing the next
steps in health organization. They
decided that the services of the
Coop Health Federation would be
expanded to give technical and or
ganizational assistance to new pro-
iects. The convention took action to
include other farm, labor and coop
organizations to the Board of Di-
rectors.
DIR. Michael Shadid, founder of
the Elk City Community Hospital,
was reelected president, and DR..
J Elmer Richman, medical director
! of the Labor Health Institute (St.
Louis RWDSU) was elected vice
president. Nelson Cruikshank, AFL
director of social insurance activi-
ties, is a member of the board OF
incorporators.
