The week ended Sunday, January 31 must have been a record in this respect. John Burns, the famous English Labour leader, died on the previous Sunday, and through 2YA the NBS paid a tribute to him (see page 4). A few days later, news came of the death of Ben Tillett, another leading figure in the British Labour world, and the NBS also paid a tribute to this veteran.
