LABOUR PEACE FELLOWSHIP MEETS _ from Len Nicholas
The Annual General Meeting of the Labour Peace Fellowship on June 9th passed a resolution calling upon the Labour Party N.E.C. to hold a 1964 Conference, following the @neral Election. Chairman Frank Allaun pointed out that no conference would meun no foreign affairs debate, and no opportunity for rank and file opinion on foreign policy, for the third successive year. Labour Party members who will be working hard between now and the General Election have a right to be able to express their views at an annual conference, C.L.F.s and affiliated trade unions must press for a 1964 conference, Frank Allaun said that he was very satisfied with the progress of the Fellowship during the last yaar, and hoped that it would very soon be as powerful a force for peace in the Labour movement as the MCF is against the exploitation of colonial peoples, NORTH WEST CND TO HOLD CONFERENCE ON 'ECONOMICS OF STAYING ALIVE!
‘Alan Rooney reports: the North West is one of the main centres of arms manufacture in the country, including the Polaris projects at Birkenhead and Barrow. Those in favour of nuclear policies are increasingly turning to the argument that arms production creates prosperity. A Barrow newspaper recently carried, in its editorial, these formulae: Barrow + Polaris = Propserity Barrow ~ Polaris = Depression.
To secure the abolition of nuclear weapons it will be necessary to combat such arguments. N.W. Region C.N.D. have decised to convene a discussion confe~ rence to explore this question, and this will take place ats
The Nag's Head, Jackson's Row, off Deangate, Manchester 2, on the weekend of 18th/19th July.
The Region is inviting all interested to attend. There will be a conference fee of 2/6 and accomodation will be provided overnight on Saturday in the homes of C.N.D. supporters.
