Wants Immediate Test On Premier's Foreign Policy

By A Correspondent

A renewed challenge to the Government to test the opinion of the country on its foreign policy by an mediate General Election is contained in the annual report' of the T.U.C. General Council published recently.

Membership of the T.U.C. now stands at the record figure of 5,000,000 and, on their behalf, the council says:

"A movement such as ours, dealing primarily with the in- dustrial life of our members, cannot be unmindful of the threat to human life, material conditions and civilisation itself, oc- casioned by the growth of intense nationalism asd the consequent threat to democratic institutions of which our movement is an outstanding example.

"The General Council trust that It wil stil be possible in these difficult days for sanity and peace to prevail."
