Annual Co Operative Congress

Excerpt from The Fifty-Fourth Annual Co-Operative Congress, 1922: Held in the Dome, Brighton, 5th, 6th, and 7th June, 1922 Generally, the alterations made are intended either to give greater prominence to the work of the Central Board and Committees of the Cooperative Union, or to reduce the cost of this annual volume. The reports submitted to the Annual Congress by the Central Board and its Committees are given precedence, while statistical information supplied by other co-operative organisations and by the Ministry of Labour is printed as appendices to these reports. It is believed that these alterations will have the effect of making the work more readable, and at the same time render the information contained in it more readily accessible. The chief items of information not included this year are the reports of 'the sixty District Conference Associations and the list of names of delegates attending Congress. The District Reports are not included, partly because space is limited, and partly because all important subjects dealt with by the District Associations are also dealt with in the reports of the eight Sectional Boards. It is believed that no information likely to be of use has been omitted, and although readers may at first have some difficulty in finding the information they require, that difficulty will disappear if use is made of the very full index printed at the end of this volume.
