SOCIALISM IN OUR TIME
LABOUR SLOGAN IN BRITAIN. (United Press Association. —Copyright.) (Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) (Received 6th April, 10 a.m.) LONDON, sth April. ■ Mr. Y. W. Jowett, ex-Minister o* Works in the Labour Government and president of the Independent Labour Party Conference, declared that the right to live and anti-war movements were a fundamental demand of Labour and must be kept in the forefront. Labour should boldly announce that the next Labour Government, with or with-, out a majority in the House of Commons, was determined to take decisive action in the direction of Socialism. .
During the past five years tha British workers' wages had been reduced by the colossal total of £590,000,000. An ineroaso in the workers' incomes by Sn weekly per child out of State revenue! would increase the workers' spending powers to a sufficient extent to remove all unemployment. He agreed with the American Ambassador, Mr. A. B. Hough ton, that European statesmen had learnt nothing by war. "We are back to pre-war rivalries," he f The present capitalist policies must inevitably drown Europe in a sea of blood, unless international Labour is organised for resistance." The party, he added, stood for internationalism as well as Socialism in our time.
