CALL FOR UNITY
British Labour Movement Rec. 8 p.m. LONDON, Dec. 31. “ Let us go into 1950 determined that it will be a year of victory for the forces of progress and that the bitter inter-war years of unemployment, want, and injustice shall never return,” said the Prime Minister, Mr Attlee, in a New Year message to the Labour movement. “ Labour has now reached its jubilee, which falls in momentous and challenging times, and coinciding with the year in which the British people will be called on to give their verdict upon the stewardship of the first majority Labour Government,” Mr Attlee said. “At this historic time there is no greater tribute we could pay to our founders than to return the second Labour Government. We are in good heart, fortified by a fine record of progress and achievement in the face of unprecedented adversity. We have fulfilled every pledge we made in 1945 and from the unremitting efforts of both the Government and the people, a new and more just society is emerging.”
