RE-ARMAMENTA
London, To-day.
At Bournemouth yesterday, the Labour Conference, by 2,169,000 votes to 262,000, endorsed the de claration on defence by the Na- tional Council of Labour which had already been approved by the Trades Union Congress.
The declaration, which sets out the labour party's foreign policy, of support for the League and eco- nomic appeasement, recognises the necessity of British rearmament.
Before voting on the declaration, the conference refused by a similar majority to instruct the Parlia mentary Party to vote against the defence estimates.
