DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS
WEST INDIES APPRECIATION. [BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.] RUGBY, August 19. The Trinidad and Tobago Trades Union Council has forwarded to Lord Lloyd the text of the following resolution: “While the workers in Trinidad do not enjoy the same democratic rights which the workers in Great Britain and other selfgoverning Dominions enjoy, they still enjoy greater rights and privileges than the workers under Nazi Germany, or any other Fascist State. If the rights and privileges thus won are to be maintained, and if the workers are to move forward to the attainment of greater rights, it is essential that Hitlerism and Fascism •should be defeated.” Lord Lloyd has replied: “I have received your resolution with deep satisfaction, and consider that its ■terms reflect a just sense of the issues at stake in the present conflict.”
