ANGLO-RUSSIAN RELATIONS
MR EEVIN CRITICISED ADVERSE EFFECT ON PRODUCTION (Rec. 1 p.m.) LONDON, March 24. " Mr Bevin should not act as if he were leader of the anti-Communist propaganda department of the Conservative Party. He should remember he is Foreign Secretary of the Labour Government," declared Arthur Horner, the coal production director of the National Union of Mine Workers, in addressing an Anglo-Soviet demonstration at Leicester. " There is profound uneasiness in the Labour movement about the state of relations between Britain and Russia, which are bound to have an adverse effect on the industrial production drive. Tt is necessary to state plainly to those who are so glibly talking about the next war with Russia that the working class would refuse to fight such a war and would refuse to produce raw materials and munitions, just as they did after the 1914-18 war."
