OPPOSING LABOUR LEADERS IN BRITAIN.—Mr Frank Cousins (left), general secretary of the powerful Transport and General Workers’ Union, and Mr Hugh Gaitskell, leader of the Labour Party, shown during their speeches at the annual party conference at Scarborough, Yorkshire, on October 5. In spite of his strong address, Mr Gaitskell failed to save the party’s official defence policy from defeat, and it went down before the block votes of the biggest trade unions. The party is now committed to a policy of complete nuclear disarmament and cold-war neutrality. But in his speech, Mr Gaitskell pledged himself to "fight and fight and fight again” to reverse the policy decisions.
