} TMB Again we have the spectacle of one of the traditioml sources of support for Labour in conflict with a Labour Government. The banning of overtime by the N.U.Me and the lobby of Parliament fixed for Thursday this woek are the first moves in a growing disillusionment with Mr. Wilson's Government, In Belgium the same kind of policy as being operated by our Government has led to riots, deaths, and an incredible embitterment, Mr. Wilson and his team should see this as a grim warning of where the road they are travelling will take them. Again, the whole affair is a warning for the unions: hardly any union in the country has been as loyal to the Government as the N.U.Me = at the Blackpool conference the N.U.M. supported,without qualification, every Government policy, This is the thanks the miners' leaders get for their loyalty. Doubt has been cast on ‘the ‘profitability policy on the railways only when a strike was threatened ~ will it need the miners to make a similar threat before the Government budges?
Mr. Gollan's dominciation of the writers' trial in the Sovict Union is to be welcomed by 211 socialists, It will help the prospects: of united action by members of all political tendencies on the left, It will encourage all members of the C.Pe to makc more objective assessments of other leftists,
