W.F.T.U. Denounced as Moscow’s “Blind Tool”
(Rec. 10.30). NEW YORK, Feb. 2'6. 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 hands of Moscow”. The Chilean delegate, Senor Herman Santa Craz, said that the Secretariat of the W.F.T.U. was “composed of agents under Moscow discipline”. 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 the trade unions. They want to break them up. The presence of Stalinist countries inside of 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”.
