Four other members of the general council of the Trade Union Congress were awarded £200, two others £150. The judge also granted an injunction to restrain publication of ‘libels’ similar to those already published. The main ground of the action was the statement that the trade union leaders were betraying the interests of the working class and the members of their unions. The judge declared he believed the ‘libel’ was inspired from Moscow. He also referred to allegations that the Communist New York Times’ Map Of China Branded As Forgery MOSCOW, USSR.—Tass, official Soviet news agency, last week denounced as a ‘gross forgery’ a document published in the New York Times on April 22 under provocative headlines showing that the “map of China has been changed in Soviet posters’ ’and that “Moscow makes claims to penetrating Inner Mongolia right up to the Yangtze, ignoring the Chungking regime.” “This forgery,” declares Tass, “can only deceive readers who don’t know the Russian language. Any American who has a scanty knowledge of Russian, any Soviet school child can immediately dis- cern the gross forgery carried by the newspaper, which forgery is outstanding for its geographical, grammatical and political illiter- acy.” “The text,’” the statement con- tinues, “has such spelling and ex- pressions as could never appear in a single Soviet edition. This shows that the newspaper is spreading the most stupid, illiterate forgery. “In the upper left corner of the map an absolutely unsuccessful at- tempt was made at reproducing the Soviet emblem with seven rib- bons instead of the eleven ribbons represented in the Soviet emblem of 1939. The Chinese names in this forgery are spelled entirely differ- ent-from those usually contained in Soviet maps and books. “The geographically incorrect State frontiers on the map are for provocative purposes. By its sen- sational headlines the editorial board of the N¥ Times is fanning provocation. Well-informed Ameri- cans who know the Russian lan- Suage and authorities in the Far East condemn the bare-faced pro- vocative forgery of the NY Times which aims at inciting both Ameri- cans and Chinese against the So- viet Union. “The secretary of the institute of Pacific Relations, Edward Carter, has stated to the repre- sentative of Tass that the map is a brazen forgery.” The map in question was accom- panied by a ‘news’ story under the byline of Hallett Abend, special correspondent of the New Yorirc Times, who claimed he had re- ceived the map from “Soviet truck drivers, who have been driving mil- itary transport trucks through Sin- kiang and have just reached Shang- hai after deserting ... .” As dubious as his supposed ,| Source was Abend’s concluding com- ment that: “Political observers here note the odd fact that no place on the map is there any notation concerning the government of China, headed by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, at Chungking, the very existence of which is ignored, nor is there any intimation that Rusia is assisting China against Japan. The whole political implication of this offi- cial map and poster is that Soviet Russia is steadily advancing into China in her own interests.” During the past few months the New York Times has devoted columns of space to inspired re- ports of supposed Soviet pene tration of China. + 4 Labor MP Scores Party Leadership ‘Labor Movement Will Perish lf It Offers Only Guns’ By PHILIP BOLSOVER LONDON, Eng. — Nearly 60,000 votes were cast for a resolution condemning war at the recent annual conference of the National Union Distribu- tive and Allied Workers. The resolution lost by only 4,550 votes, 62,908 voting against the resolution, 58,358 for it. Rhys Davies, MP, said, ‘The Ihabor movement will perish if it offers nothing but bombs, bullets, and battleships. I’m unwilling to” see Chamberlain make a private peace while labor leaders on the rostrum are preaching a fight to the finish.” Three thousand attended an anti- war meting held in Glasgow and gave an uproarious greeting to D. WN, Pritt, who said peace would only. come through united working class action. “There are people who ask the workers to give up the fight for better wages,’ he stid. “I say the Tulinge class should give up the war against the conditions and lib- erties of the people. The rulers of this country fear the coming of a Socialist Germany or Britain more than the devil fears holy waters.” David Currie, chairman of the powerful Glasgow Trades council, called for a struggle to replace capitalism by socialism: Scots miners, at their recent an- nual conference representative of 80,000 workers in Scottish mines, passed a resolution declaring that the conference “expresses disap- proval of war as a permanent method of settling social problems and calis upon the British Labor movement to summon a national conference of working class or- ganizations to discuss steps to end the war.
