March 10, 1965 — THE WEEK Youth Section structure should be adopted. The usual life-cycle of a Labour Party Youth organisation includes a climb in membership, full scale war with the paid officials, who run the . organisation’s apparatus, followed by a decline and then final interment. The Youth Sections only experienced the decline and fall segments of this wheel of history. There was no national organisation, and few members, Many solutions are going to be offered to the crisis within the Young Socialists. It is up to us to ensure that Labour never again fails so completely to attract young people as it did during the period of the Youth Sections. The Young Socialists need more self government not less. It is worthwhile remembering that while the Labour Party consistently fails to build a youth movement it has, in self-governing NALSO, the largest socialist student organisation in western Europe.
