AMERICAN POLICY ENDORSED On This TWO TRAINS AWAIT
British Workers Repudiate Moscow
NOT PROVOKING WAR
London, September 5.
Britain's all-powerful Trades Union Congress, representing 8,000,- 000 workers today endorsed the American offering policy in Europe and repudiated Moscow's claim that the United States is preparing for war.
Voicing solidarity of the working classes here with the United States, the first woman president of the annual labour congress, 55-year-old Miss Florence Hancock, told the opening, plenary session today that it was "a wicked and dangerous falsehood" that either the American or Bri- tish policy aims at provoking a third world war.
