To British workers in particu- lar M. Dimitratos said: "The workers of Greece declare their solidarity with you and your or- ganisations and their admiration for the titanic struggle your glorious country is waging. They proclaim

un- as Greeks their shakeable determination to live as free men and to know that to achieve this the forces of right | must · triumph."

In reply Mr. Ernest Bevin said: "Greetings and sincere wishes for a great victory for a great nation.: Rest assured that British work- people view with disgust the at- tack made upon you but it is in keaping with Mussolini's gangster policy of reducing workpeople to slavery. The working people of this country will give of their best to assist you in the titanic struggle, with all help and sup- plies possible," British Wire- less,
