AMERICANS’ MESSAGE TO MR BEVIN
FOREIGN POLICY ENDORSED
(Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 23. An important group of American Liberals, including both Democrats and Republicans, has sent a cable to Mr Bevin endorsing his foreign policy and repudiating Mr Henry Wallace (the former Unite’d States Secretary of Commerce, who resigned on the foreign policy issue) and the British Labour “rebels.”
The message praises Britain’s struggle for liberty and emphasises that Britain and America must stand together in peace as in war. It strongly criticises what it describes as the “cries of British and Yankee Imperialism” coming from the “Wallace group” in America.
Among the signatures to the message are those of the Right Rev. W. H. Manning, formerly Bishop of New York; Mr Henry Luce, publisher of “Time” and “Life”; Dorothy Thompson, the well-known columnist; and Mr Matthew Woll, vice-president of the American Federation of Labour.
