And Vote Accordingly

Mr. Evison, summing up before the vote was taken, crushed the alternatively bumble-footed and hairsplitting arguments of his opponents. To criticisms of the Manifesto and Report on grounds of their being "emotional" he answered "the question of war or peace is something people get emotional about, and so they should."

"We have enough breadth of vision," he continued, "to realise how many shades of opinion there are in the world, and that none is exclusive in the battle for Peace . . . As for "interminable applause', the people who want Peace are always willing to applaud a concrete demonstration of determination to fight for Peace, and their applause can have no termination."

The motion was put and carried by 57 votes to 33.
