While we differ from the Inter" national Federation of Trade Unions the matter noted above, it is only fair to add evidences of the sanity of their policy. Once or twice we have noted how carefully the I. F. T. U. keep the Russian Reds at arm's length. Further evidence of this was given: at the meeting of the General Council on December 4 and 5, when the British reprosentatives again pressed for_ the admission of the All-Russian Trade Union Centre to the I. F. T. U. This twuestion had rreviousiy been disbursed in London, soys bulletin, and it continues:
Th the Executive's report on the discussions it was made quite clear that the British adheres the Rules and. principles of the I. F.
as firmly as it has always don id_only wants the admission All-Russian Trade Union. Centre. into the International on the basis of the rules and principles. The British, comrades think that such affiliation Seal be brought about by an hand, Is of opinion, ust' frst of all Intimate their dealer afilinte.. The difference of opinion between the British 'T. U. C. and the International 'Federation' of "rade Unions is thus nota matter of pri ciple but simply a question of tactic Finally a resolution was pussed by the General Council that there was nothing to add to the decision a ived at a year ago, but that it was always ready to, admit the Russian trade unionists to the T. U. when they asked to be a mitted. Of course this would mean subscribing to I. F. T. U, rules and admitting its authority, That would not at all suit the Third International.
