The London Council Meeting
A meeting of the Council was held on Wednesday,
October 4th, and the following short Statement of Aims was agreed:
"I believe in a Federal Union of free peoples
under a common government elected by and responsible to the people for
their common affairs, with national self-government for national affairs
as a first step towards democratic self-government for the prevention
of war, the creation of prosperity and the preservation and promotion
of individual liberty."
Editor's note
Much may have changed in the world since October 1939,
when the aims above were adopted, but the aims themselves have stood the
test of time.
