British Labor Looks Forward to World Peace
In Nottingham a joint conference of the trades union congress and labor party adopted a plan to erect a national labor memorial in London to honor wartime comrades.

The circular aligned Labour with socialist parties and Bolsheviks, while condemning imperialist British press. A women’s meeting followed with Henderson foreseeing a large general election.
