FOREIGN AID
F - rT . HELP FOR GERMAN CAPITALISTS
(Rec. 9.10 a.m.) LONDON,( Dec. 2. The West German delegate, Hans Boeckler, told the Free World Labour Conference to-day that 200,000,000 dollars of foreign aid had reached German capitalists to help! them develop their policies in the new Germany. ' ' . . Roeckler said the money arrived indirectly through France, though not through the French Government. ‘fTjhese capitalist forces asked for help. Quite considerable sums, we have been told, have been going into German industry.”
To-day the conference, which is planning a new Trade Union International, continued its debate on social and economic questions. Boeckler, who represented the German Federation of Trade Unions, said German trade unions wanted a new economy, but the erriployers favoured a return to the old ways. He said that Germany had suffered a total collapse, and must now decide between reconstruction of the old conditions or the building of a • new economy.
