Card shows suffering workers and children above guns

The International Federation of Trade Unions was founded in Amsterdam in 1919, when TUC member W.A. Appleton was elected President. Pacifism, rather than anti-Fascism, was originally the strongest principle of its socialist members and illustrates the fact that, should another war break out, their bosses should fight it without their support. The card carries the message Do it yourself Boss
