THE BEGINNING OF THE U.F.O. 49 



In bringing in their recommendations they 

 divided their report into two sections, one dealing 

 with the question of policy and the other out- 

 lining a platform, the adoption of which they 

 believed would serve to crystallize the thought of 

 their members. Their report was rather com- 

 prehensive, and, since it had such a marked 

 influence on the future of the movement, parts 

 of it will bear quotation here. 



The clauses dealing with the question of 

 policy recommended : 



1. 'That the association, in addition to the 

 annual convention, hold a series of district con- 

 ventions each year, the local arrangements for 

 which shall be left in the hands of local com- 

 mittees. 



2. "That a monthly or semi-monthly paper be 

 issued for distribution among all the locals as a 

 means of keeping them in close touch with the 

 whole movement. That pamphlets explaining 

 how to conduct meetings, and also explaining 

 measures advocated in the platform be prepared 

 and sold to the locals at cost. 



3. "That the association shall aim to finance 



its own activities as far as possible 



We do not approve of the suggestion that the 

 association should commercialize its activities 

 in anyway."
