NOT ENCIRCLEMENT.
Union Of Peace Lovers A Shield For Democracy. TRADE UNION CONGRESS. (Received 11.30 a.m.)
ZURICH, July 5
Sir Walter Citrine, president of the International Federation of Trade Unions, speaking at the International Trade Union Congress, emphasised the importance of building up a union of peace lovers, which was not encirclement, but a shield for democracy and for freedom against the avowed inveterate enemies of both. It was a bulwark against the Nazi and Fascist philosophy of violence and power politics.
The congress pledged support for resistance to invasion and conquest, and to prove that Germany's encirclement propaganda was a gross travesty of the truth.
