Citrine is playing a disgraceful role at the Trades Union Congress conference currently taking place in Blackpool. The Czechoslovakia problem is being discussed there. A number of delegations have put forward a motion demanding that the British government take genuinely effective measures to protect Czechoslovakia from German aggression. The response? Citrine created a veritable scandal. He stated, inter alia, that he would be ready for a split in the workers’ movement should such a resolution be adopted. Our trade-unionist heroes chickened out as usual, and a compromise resolution was adopted and published in newspapers. Chamberlain and Citrine – these are the two most sinister figures in England today.
