LABOUR JOLT.
TO BRITISH FASCISTS. Trade Unions and Menace of Dictatorships. SUSPICION OF NAZIS. (United r.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 11 a.m.) LONDON, August 31. Tho General Council of the Trade Union Congress adopted Mr. Walter Citrine's report on dictatorships in trade unionism, especially emphasising the cyents in Europe culminating in Hcrr Plitler's brutal attack on trade unionism. He focused attention on the menace of dictatorships, and declared that Fascism in Britain, although it is appar-' ently not materially increasing, must bo ruthlessly exposed. There is a widespread suspicion that, like the Nazis, it is financed by industrialists. If tins is so, such people arc playing with fire. Tho report, presumably referring to the quarrels within British labour, says that unions welcome any improvement in the Parliamentary scheme that will not encroach on public liberties, but will resist any attempt to supersede Parliament or undermine its democratic working.
