SAVING DEMOCRACY.
THE ATTITUDE OF LABOUR. CONDEMNATORY UTTERANCES. (Received This Day, 1.20 p.m.) NEW YORK, November 21. The President of the American Federation of Labour (Mr William Green) speaking at the Conference in New Orleans warned “dictators, despots and savages” that Americans were prepared to sacrifice their lives in the defence of democracy and the new world. He assured Canada that she could expect all assistance in repelling aggressors’ thrusts.
It is reported from Atlantic City that the Committee of Industrial Organisation passed a resolution unanimously condemning “dictatorships and the totalitarianism of Nazism, Communism and Fascism as inimical to Labour’s welfare and destructive of our form of Government.”
Mr I. C. Kee in a speech at New York said that the “native Fascist group” including Colonel Bindbergh and Father Coughlin were trying to disturb the United States relations with Latin-America. He asserted that a Nazi group in Los Angeles in September chose Colonel Lindbergh for the Presidential candidacy. ‘“I don’t say Colonel Lindbergh accepted, or was even consulted about this precious gift. I am merely stating a significant fact,” he said.
