Excerpt from Report of the General Secretary of the Australian League of Nations Union for the period June 1930 to May 1933.
Subject
Excerpt from Report of General Secretary on the weaknesses of the Australian League of Nations Union.
Description
The General Secretary elaborates on weaknesses of the Australian League such as;
-the great number of lectures given of a very 'general', unspecific nature, which are irrelevant for the current political issues.
- Many lectures have been given to isolated groups who don't have an influence on public policy.
- The educational aims of the League proceeding very unsatisfactorily.
The Secretary also describes the need for greater organisation if the League is to have any impact on public policy. They outline several important issues the League should really become involved in; such as the handling of the gold standard, and the pairing of economic and military disarmament etc.
