I regard the stopping of Jew-baiting as a vital part of the climpaign for preserving liberty in this country. “What we want -to emphasise- is that this conference is in every sense an all-party affair We shall expect support from every decent-minded citizen who has the liberties of his country at heart.” Delegates are being invited to the conference from all progressive- socieLeis, and will be asked to consider the practical steps which can be -taken to combat propaganda based on racial prejudice and associated with disorderly conduct.
