In recent months China, ‘ager regard international labor unity simply as a question Willkie’s startling disclosure last October, following his tour of China’s war factories, that Chinese workers are not permitted to organize trade unions of their own choosing. This revelation has caused labor leaders in Britain and the United States to be all the more anxious to include Chi- nas workers in any interna- fional labor group. Such rep- resentation, it is believed, would result in greater free- dom for China’s workers and a consequent steppings-up of their whole war effort. Similarly, Salvadore Ocam- ‘po, sub-secretary of the Chile- an Confederation of Workers, and other Allied labor leaders have expressed the view that inclusion of the Indian trade unions in a United Nations’ labor group would greatly aid their struggle to mobilize the workers and peasants of India for war against Japan.

Brit- ish shipbuilding union lead- ars, after a recent tour of U.S. shipyards, said that they were taking back with them many ideas which would greatly improve output at home. : Conversely, U.S. labor, faced with urgent problems se concerning centralized plan- ning of war production, con- trol of manpower, women in war industry, and labor repre- sentation on government agencies, is increasingly look- ing to Britain to see how trade unionists in that country, now in its fourth year of war, have dealt with similar problems.
