CENSURE MOTION CAUSES CONCERN
ECONOMIC ALLIANCE WITH UNITED STATES AGAINST
RUSSIA "DANGEROUS"
LONDON, OCT. 25-TOP MEMBERS OF THE CABINET MET WITH THE PRIME MINISTER, MR CLEMENT ATTLEE, AT NO. 10 DOWNING STREET LATE TO-DAY AND DISCUSSED THE 40 PER CENT VOTE CAST AGAINST GOVERN- MENT'S FOREIGN POLICY BY THE POWERFUL TRADES UNION CONGRESS, THE LABOUR REGIME'S MAIN SUPPORT.
Several members of the Congress assailed the Labour Government's attitude towards Franco Spain and for what they termed "the dangerous economic alliance with the United States against Russia," but failed to muster enough votes to pass a resolution of censure on the Government's foreign policy. However, the critics of Mr Bevin's policies polled 2,444,000 votes against 3,557,000 when the resolution was put to the meeting. The TUC vote coincidentally, came on the eve of Mr Bevin's departure for New York to par ticipate in the United Nations and Foreign Ministers' Council meetings.
The motion declared: "We note that the policy pursued in Greece has strengthened the hands of the reactionary forces, facilitated favour- able conditions for the return of the Monarchy and led to suppression of the progressive forces.
