would be impractical and un­
wise, having regard to travel
arid accommodation difficulties,
date and locale, finance, and the
problem of securing a sound
basis for discussion among a
great number of diverse groups.
The alternative which has the
sound merit of starting on a small
scale and working up to something
Digger is that of two or more re­
gional meetings at this time. The
contacts thus established, the Gr­
’ganizational experience and the
program of discussion from such
smaller-scale
gatherings
would
tnen provide the basis for a work­
able and profitable national con­
ference.
GROUNDWORK VALUABLE
nven before regional conferen­
ces are called, however, much
groundwork needs to be done if
they are to be of any value. Dis­
cussion of common problems does
clear the air, but the talking
should also point to clear-cut con­
clusions and suggestions for act­
ion. Action, in turn, presupposes
the existence of an organization
capable of doing things. From the
conferences, therefore, should em­
erge some conclusions as to what
should and can be done, say with
lespect to the federal vote or mili­
tary service or property rights or
social and recreational outlets.
And also needed is the machinery
to do it. But this will not develop
unless some conscientious study of
conference
material
has
been
made, and the groups which send
delegates are prepared to back up
recommendations of the confer­
ence itself.
