LABOUR IN BRITAIN
PARTY TRUCE UPHELD AS NECESSARY CONTRIBUTION TO WAR EFFORT. SUPPORT FOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.57 a.m.) RUGBY, June 14. At the Labour Party Whitsun conference a resolution, to terminate the electoral truce, was defeated by 2,243,000 votes to 374,000. The conference adopted the Executive Committee's report, stating that Labour adherence to the truce' and participation in the present Government were contributions to the national war effort. Mr C. R. Attlee, the Partys leader, warned the conference that unity was still vitally important. It was international unity and efficiency, he said, that was beating the dictatorships. Mr J. J. Tinker (M.P. for Leigh) said he opposed the resolution on behalf of 600.000 miners. To break the truce now would be to delay victoiy and no man or woman would forgive the Labour Party for that.
