ARMS DON'T ASSURE PROSPERITY

Recovery, it has been said, should not be forged upon the anvil of armament.

It would be truer to say that recovery. cannot be accom- plished by this means. The prosperity which may accrue to labour and industry through the construction of warships, tanks and guns is deceptive. In the first place it is a wholly non- productive investment. Arma- ments are costly enough in their production; but their upkeep, if it could be estimated, would probably make the original out- Iny look like a bargain price.

N response to an invitation from the Spanish Govern- ment, I am going to pay a short visit, hardly more than a long week-end, to Spain.

With Ellen Wilkinson, Nool- Baker and John Dugdale I shall go to Barcelona, and shall en- deavour to see as much as I can of the fighting line and of the country behind the line. I hope in the course of the Journey to make contact in Paris with some of our French comrades.

There are many reasons why I am especially desirous of pay- ing this visit. In the first place, I bellove that the visit of one who holds the position of Leader of the Labour Party will help to asauro the Spanish people of the active sympathy of the Labour Movement in this country, and of our desire to do everything we can to help them 113 their great fight for democracy, liberty and social justice.

AKING to them Д message of sympathy I shall be expressing not only the feelings of the Labour and Socialist Movement, but of many outside our ranks who believe in democracy and freedom and realise that the Spanish people are fighting not only against reactionary Spanish elements, but against world forces which threaten also British freedom,

The actions of the British Gov- ernment through the long force of non-intervention have led to a feeling in Spain that the official spokesmen of Great Britain, despite all their professions of devotion to democracy, if not actu- ally hostile, are at least indiffer- ent to the rights of the people of Spain and their lawful Govern- ment,

L

EADING members of the British Cabinet con- 'tinually speak as if there were equailty of status between the Spanish Government And General Franco.

They talk of holding the scales between the contending even parties, although they know per fectly well that on the one side is a democratically elected gov- ernment, and on the other a col- lection of reactionary elements under a rebel general, supported by the scarcely veiled aggression of foreign dictators.

The recent swangement for the exchange of "agents" is a con- firmation of this attitude. I believe that an increasing number of people in this country are realising the true nature of the struggle in Spain.

I want to assure our Spanish comrades that as far as the Labour Movement is concerned, we recog- nise them as our true allies, fight- ing in the front line for our com-

In the second place, I want to see for myself the actual condi- tions in Spain. I want to meet the members of the Government and othere who are carrying the re- sponsibility of directing the war and maintaining the home front.

There is an intense propaganda. backed obviously by large funds, directed against the leaders of the Spanish people. They are repre- sented as being wild extremists and irresponsible. This is

already met, and I believe it is altogether untrue.

I want to get 1 frst-hand knowledge of the situation from the military point of view and also of the economic position. Above all, I want to see as much as pos- sible of the men and women who are engaged in the struggle.

My colleagues who have visited Spain, such as Will Dobble, Ernest Thurtle, and David Grenfell, have told me of the splendid spirit of self-sacrifice and enthusiasm that I animates the Spanish people. want to experience myself the atmosphere of Spain.

I want to gauge the morale of

THE British Government is now convinced that the war in Spain will end in a victory for Franco. It is certain of it, And it is just as certain that, when Franco has achieved his victory, the future for Britain will be eminently satisfactory.
