Since the successful report back meeting of Alan Twiddle, the observer Leicester sent to toe Moscow Peace Conference in July, members have continued producing local leaflets, most of which are distributed outside and inside factories, Shop Stewards and union members have enabled us to get inside distribution, Help has been given to Loughborough and Oakham contacts to form branches. An inaugral meoting of the new Loughborough branch will be held on October 8th.
The increasing politicalisation of C.N.D. has upset the religious and pacificist elements who say the politicals have "taken over" and “monopolice the moctings." Actually everyone is free to fork, and it has usually been difficult in the past to get volunteers for offic erships, demonstrations, speaking, and all other jobs. What has been noticeable is the defection of the 'moral force! elements over the last 18 months and the demoralisation of Committee of 100 members, It was the Trade Union contects and politicals who were the 'heart and soul! of tl3 drive to raise Moscow Conference expenses and the leaflet campaign organisation, N.B. In a process of reorganisation the Leicester O.N.D. is diving its memb>rship into groups of 10 = with one member of cach group appointed to dcliver Sanity and collect subscriptions. A questionaire has been drawn up to assist in this, and generally reorganising the work. We also understand that Leicester C.N.D. supporters are to the forefront in the campaign protesting against tle invitation extended to the son of Mosley to speak to the Leicester University Students' Union.
