New Threat To Britain's NSW PARLIAMENT Economic Policies Once-Hungry

UNIONS MAY WITHDRAW SUPPORT OF GOVT

London, June 28.-A new domestic threat to the Government's economic policies appeared here tonight. The Transport and General Workers' Union the largest trade union in the world, with 1,330,000 announced members from almost every field of industrial activity

an agenda for its annual conference which discusses a widespread move to withdraw union co-operation in the Government's economic policy.

Over 50 branches of the union have tabled resolutions protest- ing that the "peg wages, prices and profits" policy agreed to by the Trades Union Congress with the Government in July last year has worked in practice against the workers.

The resolutions demand sterner Government action to limit profits and to hold down prices, and most of them call for the abandonment of co-operation in the Government's policy and a move to demand higher wages.

Communism May Be Outlawed In South Africa

Capetown, June 28.-Dr T. E. Donges, the South African Minister of the Interior, said today that the Union Government was very seriously considering outlawing Communism.

"It is high time the Communists in South Africa realised what their position here is,” he said. "They cannot claím privileges here. They must be made to feel that they are not regarded as desirable and the sooner they realise that the better."
