Congress.....Following the failure of endeavours to secure a change in the dates of the Convention (we would ;wish to .recognize that the Convention organizers were faced with considerable difficulties in making such a change), the Congress Committee has decided to make one alteration in its programme for Monday, July 1st. , The Second of two sessions dealing with the European situation, in which Dr. G. P. Gooch, the Rev. Henry Carter,-C:B.E.; and (it is hoped) Sir Norincin Arlen are-to speak-, Will be transferred from 2.15 on that day tq. 8 in the evening to avoid clashing with the opening session of the Convention in the afternoon. That arrangement will enable members of the Convention to attend the evening session of the, Congress if they desire to do so. Individual visitors are admitted to the meeting.-3 of the Congress, which are to be held at Friends House, Euston Road, from June 28th to July 2nd. No change will be made in the arrangements of the two sessions of the Congress to be held on July 2nd.
It may be useful to add that the Congress is the annual representative assembly of the British peace movement, and on this occasion some 60 organizations are co-operating in the arrangements.—Yours faithfully,■0' GERALD BAILEY
