(Received 11, 10.30 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 10. Sir Walter Citrine, at the conference of the Trades Union Congress, in moving tlie adoption of the foreign policy statement issued by the Congress, said that, with the new teclinique of waging war without declaration against civilians, tlie safest place might be in the fcrenches. If the Fascists used armed might there must be some deterrent. "The cry might coine from the general public," Sir Walter added, "tbat tlie limit of retreat had been reached, and a call might be made on the Government to act. That is actually being raised now." How, he asked, could they escape the concJusion that some measure of rearmament was indispensable if the country was to face its obligations ? Labour would not be indifferent to the defence of Britain's own shores. (cheers). The policy statement was adopted by a card vote of 3,544,000 to 224,000.
