OFFENSIVE WANTED
BIG MEETING IN TRAFALGAR
SQUARE
(Rec. 10 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 26.
Miss Ellen Wilkinson, M.P., Parliamentary Under-Secretary of Pensions, was unable to make herself heard before 10,000 Labour demonstrators- in Trafalgar Square.
Demands for an offensive on the Western Front, and shouts of "Take her away" drowned her voice.
Resolutions were carried pressing for complete fulfilment of the Government's assurances to Russia and also for the removal of the ban on the "Daily Worker," the Communist paper.
The meeting ended with cheers for Russia and the singing of "The Red Flag."
