ALLIANCE WITH U.S. CRITICISED

Wrong,

Zilliacus

Insists

London, Nov. 13.

Mr Konni Zilliacus, former Labour Member of Parliament, declared today that he believed Britain's alliance with the United States "dangerous and wrong.”

"But I am not prepared to accept the proposi- tion that the only alternative to being run by the Americans is to be run by the Russians," he added.

Mr Zilliacus, who was ex- pelled from the Labour Party last year for disagreement with its foreign policy, said this in a long letler to the Sheffield "Peace" Conference, published in the Manchester Guardian.

He declared: "I believe there is urgent need for a peace movement in this country that stands for a middle way, for peace by negotiation and com- promise "resulting in a live and let live agreement between the Communist and capitalist worlds, which cannot destroy each other by force and will merely destroy civilisation if they try."

Stating that he had no faith that anything worthwhile would come out of the Sheffield "Peace" Congress, Mr Zilliacus declared: "I have literally no use for a peace movement that is run by people who believe war is so nearly. inevitable that their job is to recruit all-in support for the Soviet Union, right or wrong.”

"If the Partisans of Peace had! been what they professed to be, they would still have had room for the Yugoslav Peace Com- mittee and would not have committed themselves to one side or the other in this con- 'flict," Mr Zilliacus added.
