No More War Movement
The No More War Movement was the name of two pacifist organisations, one in the United Kingdom
and one in New Zealand.
==British Group==
The British No More War Movement (NMWM) was founded in 1921 as a pacifist and socialist successor to the No-Conscription Fellowship.〔Martin Ceadel, ''Semi-Detached Idealists:The British Peace Movement and International Relations, 1854-1945''. Oxford University Press, 2000 ISBN 0-19-924117-1 (p. 432).〕〔Lyn Smith, ''Voices against War : A Century of Protest''. Edinburgh: Mainstream Publishing, 2009. ISBN 1-84596-456-X (pp. 63–64).〕 For the first two years of its existence, it was known as the No More War International Movement.〔 It became the British section of War Resisters International.〔 Chaired by Fenner Brockway, it asked members to strive for revolutionary socialism but not to take part in any war.〔 Other notable NMWM members included Wilfred Wellock,〔Michael Pugh, ''Liberal Internationalism: The Interwar Movement for Peace in Britain''. Palgrave Macmillan, 2012. ISBN 0-230-53763-4 (p. 94).〕 Leslie Paul,〔Leslie Paul, ''Angry Young Man''. Faber, 1951. (pp. 204, 284).〕 A. Barratt Brown, Leyton Richards, W. J. Chamberlain〔 and Monica Whately. 〔"Whateley, Monica Mary BA, (1890-1960)" in Cheryl Law, ''Women, a modern political dictionary.'' London, I.B. Tauris, 2000. ISBN 186064502X (p.154).〕 〔Nigel Copsey and Andrzej Olechnowicz, ''Varieties of Anti-Fascism: Britain in the Inter-War Period'' Palgrave Macmillan 2010. ISBN 0-230-00648-5 (p. 108).〕 The movement also received messages of support from several international figures, including Albert Einstein.〔Otto Nathan, Heinz Norden, ''Einstein on Peace''. Simon and Schuster, 1960. (p. 91).〕 In 1926, a member proposed the creation of a white poppy, in the manner of the British Legion's red poppies, but with the added meaning of a hope for an end to all wars. The group did not pursue the idea, but it was later taken up by the Women's Co-operative Guild.〔Peter Barberis, John McHugh and Mike Tyldesley, ''Encyclopedia of British and Irish Political Organizations''〕 At its peak, the NMWM numbered around 3000 members, many from the Independent Labour Party.〔 In 1929, several prominent British intellectuals signed a statement, "Why I Believe in the No More War Movement", supporting the NMWM's aims.〔W. J. Chamberlain, ''Fighting for Peace: The Story of the War Resistance Movement'', London, 1929. Among the signatories were: Harold Laski, Frederick Soddy, H. M. Swanwick, Margaret Llewelyn Davies, Herbert Henry Elvin, John Scurr, Tom Williams, Evelyn Sharp, Emily Phipps, Canon Charles E. Raven, Rhys J. Davies, Hamilton Fyfe, the Marquis of Tavistock, Barbara Ayrton-Gould and Alfred Salter.〕 The group published two journals: ''The New World'' and ''No More War''.〔
After Brockway resigned in 1929, and secretaries Walter Ayles and Lucy Cox left in 1932, the group foundered. Reginald Reynolds, a Quaker influenced by Gandhi, became general secretary, but he could not stop a drift of members to the communist British Anti-War Movement and the New Commonwealth Society. Anarchists became increasingly prominent, but most left after the Movement, in accordance with its pacifist principles, refused to support the fighting of either side in the Spanish Civil War. In 1937 the organisation formally merged with the Peace Pledge Union, although the Midlands Council of the NMWM retained an independent existence for a year or so.〔
