Foreign policy rebels in the Labour Party tonight claimed the support of 40 to 50 per cent of the Party's rank-and-flle för their demand that Government break the united Anglo-Ameri- can front against Russia.
They based their claim in part on the disclosure that delegates representing nearly half the Cooperative Society-broadly reflecting the opinion of the non-Trade Union wing of the Labour Party-voted at their annual confer- ence in Llandudno yesterday against the poli- cles of the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Ernest Bevin.
