{tion against the U.S. base at |a packed meeting of over 250 | delegates. Calls for street | demonstrations and industrial ;action against the sending of Polaris submarines were ap- | plauded at the meeting.

| The action taken by Glas- | gow labor. has given a lead |to the whole country. Wide- |Spread protest is sweeping | Britain against the Polaris sub- |marine. In the British Housa | of Commons heated debates |are taking place with left. | wing Labor and Liberal M.P.’s | attempting to get an amend- ;ment to the Address to the |Queen opposing the Polaris base. So far the government, | with the aid of right-wing | Labor M.P.’s have blocked |such an amendment.

| Meanwhile the British Com. imunist Party last Saturday | issued a statement saying that | ‘a United States base for sub- | marines equipped with Polaris |nuclear missiles on the Clyde | would make all Britain a priority target in nuclear | -war.”

Hitting out at Prime Min- “shameful attempt at deceit on the cons trol question,” the Communist Party statement said, “the U.S. military command alone can decide to launch world war. The issue is not control, but to keep the Polaris base out of the Clyde and out of Britain.”
