Dear Roux,

I posted you yesterday copies of the resolutions passed at the
Anti-Pass Conference with three paragraphs of general report
at the foot. At
the end of the first of these three paragraphs after the word 'districts'
make a semi-colon and add "also delegates (European and Coloured)
from the South African Trades & Labour Council and the Furniture
and Garment Worker's Unions who gave short addresses of greeting
to the Conference".

In your letter of the 17th instant
you wrote about Solly's article. We did not know anything about
this article but he seems indignant
that you did not publish it. I offered to telegraph to you for the
article so that we could discuss it in the Executive but he prefers
to write to you asking you to publish it after all. We have no idea
of what it contains but from the proceedings of his Industrial Committee
of which he has probably sent your Industrial Committee a copy of
the Minutes, I gather that he has assimilated the Moscow pontifical
style of pointing out "errors" and scolding for them and
seeing no good in the Conference. I ventured a criticism of his Minutes
accordingly at the last Executive but he says he has read the Minutes
of the Conference and is more of the same opinion than ever.36

Our Inchcape Hall Conference was an interesting exposure of the orthodox
leaders and also a revelation of grit on the part of I think most
of those on the floor, but after all even if there were 600 people
present what a flea bite that is out of [remainder missing].
