AGENDA:
|
| 1 - |
Industrial Conscription |
| |
Mr. J. H. THOMAS, M.P. |
| |
This
Conference holds that military compulsion has already involved industrial
compulsion and endangered industrial conditions, and demands that
this invasion of the rights of labour at once cease, and that guarantees
be given for its non-recurrence. |
| 2 - |
Maladministration and Repeal. |
| |
Rev. Dr. WALTER WALSH. |
| |
This
Conference holds that the administration and effects of Conscription
in this country have proved a national disaster, and calls on the
Government to review and correct the administration of the Act in
regard to conscientious objection, domestic hardship, &c., and
to guarantee that there shall be no further extension of the Act during
the war, and an immediate return to an entirely voluntary system on
the conclusion of peace. |
| 3 - |
Civil Liberty. |
| |
MR. J. RAMSAY MACDONALD, M.P. |
| |
This
Conference views with alarm the recent progressive invasions of liberty
of person, speech and opinion in this country, and demands the immediate
restoration of the traditional rights of British Citizens. |
| 4 - |
Peace Negotiation. |
| |
Mrs. H. M. SWANWICK, M.A.
Rev.
J. MORGAN JONES, M.A. |
| |
This
Conference is of the opinion that the time has arrived when the objects
for which this nation entered upon the war may be secured by negotiation.
It therefore urges His Majesty's Government to seek the earliest opportunity
of promoting negotiations with a view to securing a just and lasting
peace, and to assure the Government of its unqualified support in
any step it may take to bring this war to a satisfactory and honourable
end. |
