Furthering Cause Of United Europe Minimising East- West Division
London, Jan. 16.
Mr. Winston Churchill. Britain's wartime leader, has put himself at the head of a movement in Britain "for furthering the cause of United Europe."
The movement will be launched tomorrow by a committee containing the names of prominent men in all political parties and leaders of all religious faiths. No members of the Govern- ment have so far been asked to join the movement.
