SLUMP INEVITABLE
AFTER REARMAMENT A LABOUR VIEW. iTesa Association Electric Telegraph—Copyrighi (Received Tuesday, 10.0 a.m.) LONDON, Monday. Declaring that a slump was inevitable after the completion of rearmament, if things were left to drift, Mr A. Bevin, in his presidential address at the Trades Union Council Congress at Norwich, urged that if the nation can organise a defence programme it can also organise against unemployment, poverty, malnutrition and disease, preparations for which must begin immediately, including a survey, firstly, at home, then, in conjunction with the Dominions, for the remainder of the world.
Mr Bevin sympathised with the Spanish and Chinese in fighting aggression, and deplored the continued slaughter of non-combatants. He declared that the Government must cease obstructing the International Labour Office, which may assist international appeasement. Mr Bevin announced that the General Council was establishing a scientific advisory council to secure systematic advice from leading scientists, but the scientists will not be allowed to frame the Labour policy.
