BRITAIN’S NEED
MORE AIRCRAFT SIR W. CITRINE’S APPEAL AMERICAN LABOUR SPEED UP PRODUCTION (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Presg Assn.) (Reed. Nov. 2G, 2 p.m.) NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 25. The general secretary of the British Trades Union Congress, Sir Walter Citrine, told the American Federation of Labour convention that Britain needs “planes, planes and more planes. Her needs are urgent and extensive.” He drew cheers from the delegates when he declared that American Labour can “conquer the Nazis without firing a shot." "It may be true,” he said, “that the British Navy is the United States' first line of defence. I want you to make the American workshops all democracy’s first line of defence.” He pledged Britain to fight until dictatorships are abolished throughout Europe. He pleaded with American Labour to co-operate with the Government in every way in speeding up preparedness.
