Final Statement October 28, 1936. Issued by the Joint Meeting of the Trades Union Congress General Council, the Executive of the Labour Party and the Executive of the Parliamentary Labour Party. Having considered the proceedings of the joint meeting of the Bureau of the Labour and Socialist International and the Executive of the International Federation of Trade Unions in Paris on October 26, 1936, this joint meeting, representing the British Labour Movement, declares, in conformity with the resolutions adopted by the Plymouth Trades Union Congress and the Conference of the Labour Party at Edinburgh that the right of the constitutionally elected Government of Spain to secure, in accordance with the practice of international law, the means necessary to uphold its authority and to enforce law and order in Spanish territory, must be re-established. In view of the fact that the Non-Intervention Agreement has proved ineffective in its operation, this Joint Conference calls upon the British Government, acting in collaboration with the French Government, immediately to take the initiative in promoting an international arrangement which will completely restore to democratic Spain full commercial rights, including the purchase of munitions, and thus enable the Spanish people to bring their heroic struggle for liberty and democracy to a victorious conclusion.
