NO ILLUSIONS
AMERICA AND WAR 1.L.0. DELEGATE RETURNS (P A.) WELLINGTON, this day. "One of the impressions I got was that America is under no illusions as to what will happen if Nazi-ism is not defeated. The people of the United States of America are definitely behind us in this war, and there is every evidence of the gigantic steps that are being taken to assist us and of immense projects in this direction which have yet to bear fruit,*' said Mr. H. E. Moston, one of the Government representatives to the International Labour Conference at New York.
One of the conference's most important resolutions concerned the necessity for the 1.L.0. to take a hand in post-war reconstruction problems. The outstanding speaker was the Belgian Foreign Minister, who dwelt on the difficulties that would confront Europe at the conclusion of the war.
Mr. Moston said he had taken the opportunity of investigating labour disputes in the United States. It was disturbing to see pickets outside works. In many cases, however, they were professional pickets and did not seem to know what it was all about. The position was complicated by the fact that two rival labour organisations were fighting for power.
