W.F.T.U. DENOUNCED AS “BLIND TOOL IN HANDS OF MOSCOW”
NEW YORK, February 26. . Chile, in the United Nations Economic and Social Council, made a vigorous attack on the World Federation of Trade Unions, calling it “a blind tool in the hand of Moscow.” The Chilean delegate, Senor Herman Santa Craz, saicLthat the secretariat of the W.F.T.U. was “composed of agents under Moscow disciplirie.” Its only aim, he stated, was to misrepresent the conditions of labour in the non-Soviet countries. “The Communists are not interested in the W.F.T.U. itself”, he continued. They have no faith in the aims and the purposes of thb trade unions. They want to break them up. The presence of Stalinist agents inside the trade unions is the greatest help to the reactionary forces. By their odious anti-national policy and their submission to the Soviet, they have contaminated the trade"unions.”
