HOME AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
NON-AGGRESSION PACT URGED.
BRITAIN, FRANCE AND RUSSIA
{United Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.10 a.m.) LONDON, September 7. In' his presidential address to the Trades Union Congress, Mr Alan Findlay declared against establishing a united front with the Liberals and Co - munists. He declared it better that each party fight the common menace of Fascism on its own platform. Mr Findlay criticised the Government’s programme of rearmament while the social services were starved and malnutrition was ravaging the working classes. He deplored the Soviet execution of M. Trotsky’s followers, but expressed the opinion that the only way to world peace would he a non-aggres-sion pact between Britain, France and Russia, open to Germany. If Germany refused to adhere to such a pact, it should be made clear that Britain’s policy to develop collective security would not be affected. British Labour would never acquiesce to giving Herr Hitler a free hand for an attack on Eastern Europe or Russia.
