Critique of Australian Labor Representation at London Talks
A columnist condemns Australian delegates to the International Labour Conference and I T U Congress for lacking frontline serviceman representation. He singles out Ernest Thornton, leader of the Ironworker Union, noting his wartime stance and urging Returned Soldiers to top union posts. The piece mocks Thornton's 1941 ACTU speech boasting of planned strikes, arguing Britain needed arms, not strikes, during Dunkirk and the U-Boat threat.
