MR FRASER AND RUSSIAN DELEGATE (Rec. 10.25 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 28. The Prime Minister of New Zealand, Mr P. Fraser, chairman of the U.N.O. Joint Sub-committee of the Economic, Financial, and Social and Humanitarian Committees, sharply called to order M. Kuznetsov (Russia) when he intro. duced the subject of the World Federation of Trade Unions. \£. Kuznetsov, after stating, that the voice of Labour -played an important part in the League of Nations, mentioned the World Federation of Trade Unions. ..... Mr Fraser rapped the table with the gavel and said: " I don't want to stop the delegate, but he knows as well as I do that this is the subject of very detailed consideration of a subcommittee of the general committee. Apart from general remarks I cannot allow arguments." * , M. Kuznetsov: "I am not going to argue, sir. I only watt to say a few words as an illustration." He added that the World Federation of Trade Unions strongly supported all the aims and purposes of the United. Nations. He hoped the Economic and Social Council would give cordial consideration to their views, so that the unions would have an opportunity of co-operating and helping in the work of the United Nations. ♦ The plenary session of the U.N.O. General Assembly, arranged for this afternoon has been cancelled because it is impossible to have the report of the Political and Security Committee which has been dealing with atomic energy ready in time for presentation to-day. . _______
