It is learned here that last week the National Workers Lea¬ gue met and discussed, among other things, the Roosevelt Ad¬ ministration, the .Tews and Ihe Hrilish.
Following the line set by derm, any, Oarland T. Alderman, Lea¬ gue .Secretai-y, asserted Ihal Roosevelt is making a mistake by connecting himself with tbe Hritish. "The idea of fighting for Hrilish Imperialism," Alderman st.ited, "making the woi-ld .safe for Communism, and for Impos¬ ing the .lewish international- banking system on all peoples of the world in the name of the Atlantic Charter, written with¬ out legal authority by Roosevelt and Churchill when our nation ^as suppQsed, tp,be, neutral,.la
