DANGER TO FREEDOM OF WORKERS SEEN
Received Tuesday, 7.10 p.m. NEW YORK, March 2. Forced labour has now become a postwar institution in many lands, says a statement issued by the international labour relations department of the American Federation rf 'Labour.' After referring to the large numbers of prisoners of war still held in Britain, Poland, Yugoslavia, and Czecho slovakia, and de3eribing Russia as the worst and biggest slave centre on earth today, the statement continues: "Bar-' rack economy anywhere is a menace to free labour everywhere. When Japanese soldiers are turned into slave toilers o.n the Volga-Lake Baikal railway for the benelit of Russian bureaucracy or when Papuans and New Guineans are kept in slavery for weaithy Australian plantation owners, the freedom and welfare of workers in London, New York, Paris, Brussels, Sydney and Prague are in raortal danger."
