CAUSE OF SIMPLE HUMAN RIGHTS
British Labour’s War Aim (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 30. The annual report of the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party, after dealing with the progress of the movement since the foundation of the Labour Representations Committee 40 years ago, draws attention to the rise of dictatorships, which it describes as being “founded on the persecution of all who cherish freedom.” Trade unionists, Socialists, co-opera-tors, Jews, and Liberal-minded Christians, the report continues, have been treated with cruelties hitherto associated with mediaeval times. Speaking of Hitler’s Germany, it points out that Austrians, Sudetens, Czechs, and Poles have been subjected to Nazi tyranny under the guise of territorial rectification. “This threat,” the report adds, “must be resisted if life throughout Europe and the world is to offer any hope for advancement. As far as British Labour is concerned, the chief aim of the present struggle is the age-old claim for simple human rights.”
