a Leicester corresponient. 1 4 31 The East Midlands Region of the Labour Party has appointed an "investigation commission" which will meet. in Leicestor on February 15th to go intu the affairs of the Leicester Federation of Young Socialists. (See previous report in Bulletin), The Chairman of the Commission will be Bill Whitlock M.P., other mombersars to include two from the East Midlands Regional Council and three from the Leicester City Labour Party E.C,. The people who orga sed the campaign around unemployment in the YS have deo ided to form an independent committee of unemployed and YS members but so far as can be ascertained have not made a serious attempt to get the back -ing of the C.L.P.s and of the Trades Unions, This seems to be an illadvised plan and may facilitate the witch—hunt of these members, The correct tactics, for a number of reasons, would seem to be that of working through their C.L.P.s., thus both giving the campaign a shield and identity and for that matter helping to ensure that any campaign would have the ereatest possible support, Meanwhile, at the same mesting where the “inves- +igetion" was decided upon, the Leicester B.L.P. considered having an officiel campaign against unemployment. Whilst the motives of the people organising the YS campaign ara probably more sincere and enthysiastic, it would be wiss for the YS to participate in the C.L.P. campaign.
