BRITISH LABOUR
Fear of Dictatorship TRADE UNIONISM ALERT
. .London, August 31. The General Council of the Trades Union Congress adopted Mr. Walter Citrine's report on dictatorships and trade unionism,, which especially emphasised the events in Europe which culminated in Hitler’s brutal attack on trade unionism.
The report focused attention on the menace of dictatorship. It declared that Fascism in Britain, although apparently not materially increasing, must be ruthlessly exposed. There was a widespread suspicion that, like the fJazls, it was financed by industrialists. If so, such people were playing with fire. The report, presumably referring to the quarrels of British Labour, says that the unions would welcome any improvement in a Parliamentary scheme not encroaching on public liberties, but would resist any attempt to supersede Parliament or undermine its, democratic working. •
