LONDON, Dec. 22.-Britain's rul-
ing Labor Party today launched 9
campaign against Communist "in-
filtration and intrigue" within the
organization, and the Communists
Immediately branded the drive as
American-inspired plot to link this
country with France and Italy in an
attempt to split the trade unions.
Warning that the Communists
were out to sabotage" the govern
ment, Labor Party Secretary Nor
gan Phillips dispatched letter to
all Labor groups - including 1.-The
trade unions-in which he urged
that they take the offensive against
Communist influence within the
party.
The Communist Daily Worker al
once retaliated by declaring:
This attack follows months OF
preparatory work by the United
States State Department, acting
partly through It's embassies ano
partly through paid agents OF the
American Federation of Labor.
Aim to Split Unions Seen.
Their aim is to split the unions
of France, Italy and Britain. Phillips
letter obediently parallels the tactics
used by the reactionaries in France
This obviously was reference to
developments last Friday in Paris
where the anti Communist minority
wing of the Communist General
Confederation of Labor (CGT) voted
to secede and form its own national
trade group.
In his letter Mr.. Phillips said the
British Communist Party had joined
the Cominform's cold war" against
the Western brand of socialism
and against the Marshall aid plan
for European recovery.
I'VE can expect Communist-in-
spired attempts to foment discon-
tent in factories and workshops,
which may result in slowing down
and hampering the production
drive" he said.
$4,000 Reds in Britain.
According to best estimates, based
on recent election returns, there are
only about $4,000 Communists in
Britain, but they hold number of
key trade union posts-especially
among groups so vital to Britain's
recovery program as the miners, en-
gineers and transport workers.
Even as Mr.. Phillips letter was
being distributed the Moscow radio
launched new blast against the
Marshall plan. declaring its "es-
sence" was war"

President Truman's message to
Congress Friday with a discussion
OF Gen. MarshalFs address the

broadcast said:

too. Now we see another four-year
plan for so-called aid to Europe,

The references to Schacht appar-
emily were based on stories from
Berlin some months ago disclosing
that the former Reichsbank presi-
dent had been questioned by United

Lucius D. Clay, American military
governor, later said the interroga-
ton was connected with the Nuern-

l. The Eastern and Western
states will revamp their foreign
policies IN the light of the situation
in Germany, where a state of in

may lead to a series of new regional
defense alliances, to guard against
new German aggression.
