scientific tackling of the position by Trade Unionists.
Mr. Tillətt said 60 per cent, of the productive area of food and raw materials of Europe WAS either devastated, paralysed, or being utilised for purposes of war. Russia, which should supply Europe with other 20 per cent. of its food supplies, bad embarked on a mad orgy of bloody ravalo- tion, murdar, and anarchy. That country was in a state of desola- tion, and could be removed from any estimats of the word's food supplies.
Trade in the long ran was the best preventative of war, and the sooner it could be forced into its resume its old position and normal circulation the better for the world itself.
FOOD MONOPOLISTS DENOUNCED.
Outside of the European posi tion we had our own monopolies of food.
"If I thought our British capitalist monopolists," said Mr. Tillett. "were prepared to fight for their country and to play cricket and fight with their brains other monopolists of other cous- tries. particularly America, I should have some sort of sport- ing pride in their courage and loyalty to their own country. Bat if any British woring man or woman believes that the British capitalist monopolists will fight for their own country in peace times, then they are sadly mis- isken. (Cheers.) The Britiab Labour's conceptice of Imperial monopolists are band and glove ideal and atopian, but quite policy is that the British Empire with the American capitalist impossible of attainment, human should be a commonwealth of and they would sell their o*D nature being what it is."
