This coming Sunday, the 20th of June, will see the first major activity of the Campaign for Democracy in Ulster. This organisation has called a march from Hyde Park Corner at 3.00 to Trafalgar Square, where a meeting will follow at 4.00. Among the speakers will be Fenner Brockway, Maurice Orbach, William Molloy, and two Irish speakers: Anthony Coughlan (Dublin) and Jack Bennett (Belfast).

The organisation has stated its aims to be: j :

(1) To secure a full and impartial inquiry into the administration of government in Northern Ireland, and into allegations of discrimination in the fields of housing and employment. : :

(2) To bring electoral law in Northern Ireland into line with that in the rest of the United Kingdom and to examine electoral boundaries with a view to providing fair representation for all sections of the community.

(3) To press for the application of the "Races Relations Bill" to be extended to Northern Ireland and to include religious discrimination and incitement.

The Campaign for Democracy in Ulster seeks to further these aims by enlisting support in the Labour, trade union and Co-operative movements. Readers wanting further information should write to: Campaign for Democracy in Ulster, 195, Leigham Court Road, Streatham, London S.W. 16.
