The campaign for democratic socialism 1960-1964.
No full textPhDIn early 1960 it seemed likely that the official Labour
Party defence policy would be defeated by a unilateralist
resolution at the Scarborough Conference. In response to
this possibility the Campaign for Democratic Socialism,
or CDS, was established.
The CDS projected the image of a grass-roots movement
inspired by Gaitskell's "fight and fight again" speech.
But it was run by a Campaign Committee which included
leading members of the Party like Tony Crosland, Roy
Jenkins and Patrick Gordon Walker, as well as less well
known members like Bill Rodgers, Dick Taverne, Philip
Williams, Brian Walden, Denis Howell and David Marquand.
This highly talented group launched an elaborate and
successful lobbying, publicity and briefing operation
which was influential in overturning the unilateralist
vote at the Blackpool Conference of 1961. After Blackpool
the Campaign helped many of its leading members find
seats in the House of Commons while continuing to put the
"revisionist" case through its newspaper Campaign.
The importance of the CDS in the history of the Labour
Party is, primarily, as the first internal pressure group
organised by the right of the Party. It was also the
first internal Party group to use such sophisticated
lobbying techniques. Moreover, the subsequent careers of
the leading members of the Campaign influenced the
development of the Labour Party. The CDS was an important
formative political action for many of them. Finally many
of the CDS supporters set-up or joined the SDP when it
was launched

Tokyo Burning Interview with Tony Barnstone
No full textInterview with Tony Barnstone about adapting his poetry to music. Tokyo\u27s Burning is a CD that tells history from the inside, telling stories of the Pacific theater of WWII not from the God\u27s eye view but from the points of view of American and Japanese civilians and soldiers who lived and suffered through Pearl Harbor and Iwo Jima, the firebombing of Tokyo and the atom bomb drop on Hiroshima. Songs in the CD are based upon 15 years of research into the Pacific theater of WWII by Tony Barnstone—poet, author, and professor at Whittier College in Los Angeles. Tony worked with oral histories, histories, diaries, letters, and memoirs, and did his own interviews with vets and their families to write a book of poems titled Tongue of War: From Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki (BkMk Press, 2009). Though many of the songs deal with atrocity—sex slavery, torture, internment camps, even cannibalism—the CD itself is meant to take a neutral stance, allowing each character to speak his or her view, without judgment, assuming that the readers will find their own moral paths through these competing voices and viewpoints. As one character says, Seems everyone has a point of view, but no one has perspective. L.A.-based songwriters John Clinebell and Ariana Hall, who work together under the name Genuine Brandish, were commissioned by Tony to work with him to translate his book into 15 songs (with the essential help of producer Andrew Bush). What if history had a human face? What if the people who lived history could speak to it? This CD is an attempt to amplify the smaller voices, the human voices, of those who lived through the war and help them to sing history to us
