LABOUR POLICY.

MESSAGE TO WORKERS. WORLD PEACE DEMANDED. LONDON, April 7. British, French and Belgian leaders signed the International Federation of Trade Unions’ May Day manifesto, declaring: “European statesmen still refuse to discard their wartime mentality, and are still unable to evolve an international policy of social reconstruction. They are still fomenting international hatreds, which are a menace to world peace and a hindrance to the workers’ economic. security. Only strong action by a united Labour movement can save us from political hatreds and economic ruin. Let the workers on May 1 demand a universal eighthours’ day, the recognition of the workers’ right to share in industrial control, and a true and lasting world peace.”—A. and N.Z. cable. EXECUTIVE FACTION. DEVELOPMENT AT SYDNEY. SYDNEY, April 7.
