Congress Journal, Third National Youth Anti-War Congress, December 27-30, 1939
Chicago: 1939. This Congress Journal was issued at the Youth Committee Against War’s (YCAW) third national youth anti-war congress held from Dec. 27-30, 1939 at the International House in Chicago. It includes the YCAW’s program, comments from YCAW officers Frank Littell and Fay Bennett, the congress agenda, various adverts and greetings, sections to note attendees to remember and congress notes, and other items.
The Youth Committee Against War (YCAW) was founded in 1938 as a federation of socialist, Protestant and student youth groups. Originally called the Youth Committee for the Oxford Pledge, it was militantly pacifist and anti-imperialist and attached itself to the equally isolationist Keep America Out of War Congress - and more controversially, the America First Committee.
