SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1935. Volume 6. Number 18.

[introduction]

Dr. Beeby made a vigorous and entertaining speech on Friday, 13th. He clarified the purposes of the Peace Ballot and emphasised their importance. He showed that students had every right to express their opinion. He deplored diffidence and urged them to face courageously the difficult task of coming to a decision.

The Government, said Dr. Beeby, had not got its finger on the public pulse. Unlike the citizens of Athens it is not easy for us to make our voices heard. M.Ps. are elected for their views on mortgages and wool, etc., and do not necessarily know our opinions on peace or war.
