At this moment, the jobs of many individual workers rest on some section of the arms industry.

Almost all of us agree that world disarmament is urgent and necessary, but a man thinks twice before putting himself out of a job: does full employment really depend on the Arms Race? What can one man do, to make sure that annihilation or unemployment are not the only alternatives? Where and when can the Trade Unions help most?

These are questions that concern every working man and woman, questions that we can and must all join forces to answer.

Wolverhampton CND and West Midland CND have made arrangements for this conference where workers and employers, Conservatives, Socialists, Liberals and Communists, “Ban-the-Bombers” and others can all exchange views.

Several well-briefed speakers will supply facts and figures on the situation here and now.
