At the National Minority Movement annual conference at Battersea, 698 delegates are present, including many women. 1 lie platform is draped in crimson Hags bearing Chinese and Russian inscriptions. Mr. Tom Mann, presiding, declared that another world war was being prepared, for Britain was definitely systematically aiming at securing the largest possible number of naval bases and aerodromes irtth a view to making a dead set against the Soviet. Capitalist and Imperialist forces were using border states to prepare for an onslaught upon Russia. It was the duty of the movement to render such a war impossible.
