According to the Daily Herald (January 7th, 1912) the National Committee of the People's Convention decided on January 3rd "to suspend activity as a separate organisation," thus failing by nine days to reach its first anniversary. It will be recalled that at its first convention held on January 12th, 1941, the Convention wanted a "People's Government and a People's Peace." One of their main criticisms of the Labour Party then was that it ought not to be in the Churchill Government, a policy denounced by Mr. Pritt as "the linking up of its leaders with their class enemies." Now the promoters of the Convention are all for the war and their criticism is no longer directed against Mr. Churchill.
