ENEMY OF MANKIND

World Must Be Rid Of Nazism Voice Of American Labour By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Rec. 12.6 a.m.) DETROIT, Nov. 18. The Congress of Industrial Organisations convention representing 5,000,000 members, adopted a resolution supporting President Roosevelt’s foreign policy. * It condemned Hitler’s cold-blooded murder of innocent victims and civilians in the occupied countries, adding: “The C. 1.0. declares it is of paramount importance that we immediately furnish all possible aid to, and completely co-operate with British, the Soviet and China the peoples of which countries are carrying on the heroic struggle to rid the world of Nazism, the enemy of mankind, and thereby bring about the military annihilation of Hitler’s regime. This programme must be coupled with aggressive preparedness and active defence by the united efforts of the nations of the Western Hemisphere. National unity toward this end is essential. The efforts of any such as Lindbergh to disunite the American nation on such un-American issues as anti-Semitism, must be ferreted out and exposed as Hitler’s fifth column. The American people demand that all aides of Hitler in this country be they our homegrown Quislings or representatives of his puppet States such as Vichy, must not be permitted to cause dissension or sow the seeds of disunity in this nation,”
