The file contains several documents regarding 'the society of individualists' (SIF) founded in 1942. In 1944 the society of individualists merged with the National League for Freedom, which itself had been formed from those associated with the explicitly anti-socialist wing of the conservative party. The Society for Individual Freedom took on its present name in 1947. Today the SIF is independent of all political parties. The report, which is attached, promotes the knowledge and acceptance of the principles enunciated in the Manifest on"British Libert" of August 1942, and the development of the work of the organization. The organization advocates personal freedom and less state control generally, and a genuinely free enterprise economy including low taxation and no state subsidies to industry. The members of the organization are united in the disire to restore to British public life that spirit of individual liberty and responsibility. In the belief of the organization the state interference with the liberty of the subject should be reduced to a minimum and that they reject totalitarian systems. Furthermore it is argued, that the national morale, the sense of individual responsibility has been systematically undermined by many influences.
