Declaring that a slump is inevitable after the completion of the rearmament programme if things are left drift, Mr. Ernest Bevin, in his presidential address at the Trades Union Congress at Norwich, urged that if the nation can organise a defence programme it can also organise against unemployment, poverty, malnutrition, and disease, preparations for which must begin immediately, including a survey first at home ,and then, in conjunction with the Dominions, throughout the remainder of the world. '
Mr. Bevin expressed sympathy with the Spanish; and Chinese fighting' against aggression, and deplored the continued slaughter of the non-com-batants. He declared that the Government must cease obstructing the International Labour Office, which may assist in international appeasement. ■ ■•■-...
He announced that the general council of the Trade Union Congress is establishing a scientific advisory council to secure systematic advice by leading scientists, but that the scientists will" not be allowed to frame the policy of the organisation.
