Lyon, one of the Colony's with which the Trade Union swimming champions, who is the movement had emerged from a secretary to the H.K..V:D.C. period of unparalleled crisis, since | swimming and water polo aub- 1920.

He drew attention to the 'nmal- gamation as shown by the fact of a 15 per cent, reduction in the number of separate unionis in five

M:..Swales demanded an exten- sion of trade with Russia. He expreased sympathy with the workers' struggles in India and China and regretted that an international front had not yet been secured, though the differ- erences of Amsterdam and Moscow were small,

Mr. Swales concluded by de. claring that a new phase of the development which was world- wide had been entered. The next .would probably be the last stage

of revolt. He appealed to workers to solidify the movements and to be prepared with machin- ery and men for the final struggle to destroy wage slavery.
