London, Jan. 20, The National Council of Labour decided to-day to organize a deputation to urge on Mr, Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, and Mr. Anthony Eden, the Foreign Minister, the need for sanctions, in order to halt Japan's war on China.
This decision followed a joint meeting of the Council, the Trade Union Congress, the national executive of the Labour Party and the executive committee of the Parliamentary Labour Party.
The decision was a sequel to the resolution adopted at the meeting in Brussels of the International Labour movement, on January 15, for the governments to fulfil their obligations to the League of Nations for the purpose of terminating war.
Steps are now being taken to request the practical ce-operation of the labour movements in countries which were not represented at the Brussels meeting.
The National Council of Labour will hold a further early meeting to consider the results of the deputation and to decide on appropriate steps to give effect to the International Labour Partys policy.
Reuter,
