By James A, WECHSLEN 3 PAs Bureau WASHINGTON, Apr. i4.—In his first ull-fedged description of labor's program ur . post-war period, CIO President Milip-Murray last night sharply repudiated ulationism and urged establishment of a vorld federation backed by an international -olice force. At the same time. Murray appealed to ‘he U, §. Government to recognive that “the nly possible foundation for the new demo- tatic Europe which we envison must be a vconstructed labor movement” in Germany nd other countries now dominated by -Litler, Murray's statement was made in a speech arepared for delifgry here before av dinner ponsored by thefAmerican Friends of Ger- aut Freedom—an organization estabtishee! ow help promote the underground fight «inst the Nazi regime inside Germany. AFL Support Pledged he CIO president joined with George Wise vice president of the Ameri- oul Federation of Labor, in pledging sup- port to anti-Fascist labor forces in Germany. Although unable to be present himslef. Har- vison sent a message ia which lie said: “Those heroic patriots in Germany who reserve the unkindled lights of freedom will some day raise the torch se that all mankind can again enjoy the blessings of a free way of fife. You may count on me and inembers of our organization for support in this great and yimportant work.” Mrs. Eleanoy Roosevelt also was sched- wed to address7the “meeting, together with representatives lot the underground move- ment in Fascist nations, inchiding Paul Haven, veteran avti-Nazi German luborite, and Bruno Zevi, Italian anti-Fascist student leader. Reiterates Accusation Significance labor pronouncements was htened fy charges made by Hagen against o. Ss. ernment agencies on the eve of the meeting. Hagen declared at a press conference Monday that Government officials responsible for Promoting disaffec- tion inside Germany had refused flatly to $5.0' JUN we! co-operate with representatives of the un- derground movement. Reiterating this accusation last uivtit, he lold the gathering that efforts by German auti-Fascists here to obtain “the facilities ia continue our own specific service in this war” had been blocked by U. S. authorities. He bitterly decried “the fear in certain im- portant circles about the revolution which threatens tu come after Hitler's defeat.” “We do not think that a quarantine belt of Darlias, Frances, and the like in other nations can give the same security which could be given by the incorporation of Ger- many ini much stronger democratic control - the control of a world federation in they European region,” Hagen declared. . In his prepared address, Murray for the first tine strongly aligned U.S. trbor in support of “an imteriatianal couicil to seree as a standing agency” for solution of in- ternational political and ecenomic problems and for enforcement of peace.” Urges World Police ‘Onc can foresee Ue necessity as well for an international executive body and. beneath it, domocratic agencies for the planning and direction of international economic activitics and a democratically controlled world police designed to prevent future outbreaks of vandalism by gangsters like Hitler and Mussolini,” Murray asserted. “Federal union has worked well here in Aincrica, despite the diversity of own popu- lution and differing regional interests. We see no reason why it cannot work in Europe, and we are apt to fee] that we have a right. considering our having been drawn into Enropean conflict twice within a generation, to urge Unt such system be set up and’ that it be integrated, along with other re- gional federations, into the global union which has becn suggested.” Murray sail that American labor would “stand four-square against any peace of re- venge,” but added: “We shall urge a firm policy toward the aggressor nations. We shall see to ft that they do not rearm. We shall se to it that they root out the tyrannies which hgve turned these nations 8 t the world. But War World. Federation |we shall not deceive ourselves with the eas tinafitthat peace is to be guafimeri) dismembering Germany or by imposing a alien dictatorship upon the Gggman « Italian peaples.” Opposes Any ‘Deals’ Indicating labor’s hostility to any “deals with conservative forces in Europe, Murra declared that as soon as victory is won “a the resources of our unions and our Ng ‘tion must be thrown behind the rebuildin of the genuine organizations of the work ers’ movement all over Europe, and abov all in Germany and Italy.” “Only thus,” he said, “can we construc a sound and an unshakable foundation fo tablishment of democratic government i rope, for achievement of a Europea federation and for integration of that fed ration into democratic world-wid union.” INDEXED c oa D qo Pan ji A “20 - OBOE; ig. pee eat at shllte\eat a ne ie This is a clipping from | page 39 of t Ph for Government. core Ft
