RESOLUTION

PASSED BY HUGE

MAJORITY.

London, To-day.

The Labour Party Conference at Southport yester- day passed by a huge majority a resolution by the Executive condemning the introduction of conscription despite the Government's repeat- ed pledged to uphold the voluntary system. The resolution demands that the pay and allow- ances of militiamen be similar to those of the Regular Army.

It declares that the voluntary system has not failed and calls for every effort to ensure its increas- ing success.

Another resolution endorsed the National Council of Labour's atti- tude regarding participation in all steps necessary to ensure proper protection of the civil population in wartime.

RESOLUTION DEFEATED

schemes, excepting ARP., was de- feated by a big majority.

Dr. Hugh Dalton, introducing a statement of policy on labour and defence, said it was their proposal to set up a Ministry of Defence with much greater powers than the present Ministry for the Co- ordination of Defence. Reuter.

ADVICE TO NURSING MOTHERS

It is very important, doctors say, not to overtax your system immediately after the birth of a child. When you are feeding baby yourself, you should take plenty of easily digested nourish- ment.

- For that reason, doctors throughout China recommend Horlicks. They have proved that Horlicks stimulates the appetite, promotes sound sleep and strengthens the whole system. Also Horlicks increases the supply of maternal milk

and ensures the success of breast feeding.

Get Horlicks to-day from your store.
