ment recorded in Paris for

ica's Munich radio center.
He said the International Con-
federation of Free Trade Unions
has established a special COM
mittee to consider "how and
under what circumstances such
"a boycott can be set up."
The committee, representing
81 million organized workers in
all the continents, will work sin
close cooperation with the
United Nations and the Inter-
national Labor Organization in
order to be able to take appro-
pirate action for the abolition Of
forced labor In any and all
forms that it may exist" Mr..
Brown added.
