London, Jan. 11. The Labour Party's decision to invite the Socialist parties of Western Europe and Germany and Austria to a conference on the Marshall Plan was regarded among British and international Labour leaders tonight as of great significance both for the British Government's European policy and the future of International Socialist cooperation.
