from a sperial correspondent

Speaking at@rally of Midland members of the Transport and General Workers Union in Birmingham on Saturday, May 30th, Mr. Frank Cousins, Minister of Technology, explained his attitude towards his union. He explained that he would not have joined ths Sovernment if it had meant retiring as the General Secretary of the T.G.W.U.: “If the choice had been put to me that way I would not have gone," he added.

Mr. Cousins’ statement is all the more interesting because of the remarke he made about the 7.G.N.U.'s vote against declaration of intent. He said he would have been ashamed of the union's executive if they had not taken the decision on an incomes and prices policy they did. They had argued it out in the direction in which it ought to be ordered -— from prices, profits and wages policy.
