...welcome ended when some delegates charged that Roman Catholic unions on the Continent, which have their own federation (International Federation of Christian Trade Unions), were being excluded from the new organization.

In Finland last week, on the tenth anniversary of the country's invasion by Soviet Russia, the Communist Party spoke through Professor Vladimir Kemenov, a visiting. Russian "cultural" delegate.
