Soviet press lauds Communist strength amid labor unrest reports
Trud, the Soviet union's central council trade union organ, reports 14,000 new Communist members in the United States and praises party activity while denouncing the AF of Labor and Trotskyites. It notes sit-down strikes and calls for organized labor fronts against capital, amid broader labor unrest. In Washington, officials withheld comment on Paul van Zeeland's world economic pact proposal and a five power conference plan. Hull calls the idea a valuable contribution and supports reducing trade barriers to foster peace.
