Geneva, June 7.
Some fifty countries will be represented at the International Labour Conference, which opens here tomorrow.
Groups of workers met today at a preliminary session, and adopted two resolutions.—
1. They warmly approved the peace initiative of President Roosevelt, and urged him to continue his efforts to achieve a durable and honourable peace by summoning an international economic conference.
2. They expressed sympathy with the "Chinese working classes who are heroically defending China against Japanese aggression."
The second resolution concluded with the words—
"The workers of the world are convinced that these enormous sacrifices will not be in vain, and that the Chinese peasants know how to safeguard their independence against Japanese aggression, with which, nevertheless, the Japanese proletariat is not identified."—Reuter.
