{"value"=>"<p>The Topical Files consist primarily of reference materials Campaign staff collected for use in support of their writings and daily activities. These files focus on subjects deemed of practical use and personal interest, especially individuals and organizations with which they collaborated or whom they considered necessary to monitor. There are files on events attended, and on general topics such as universal disarmament or the Spanish Civil War. Each topical file largely consists of printed matter published by the entities in question, and material writen about them. Many folders also include correspondence, memoranda, and reports.</p> <p>Items of particular interest are the collection of alternate peace plans proposed by variety of their \"competitors',\" often heavily marked with editorial and substantive criticisms; and the files concerning the League of Nations and the United Nations, which contain analyses of the organizations' failings and the changes needed to remedy them. Also of note are the materials related to the World Movement for World Federal Government, one of the most widespread early movements for world government, which began at the Montreux Conference of 1947 and is still active today as the World Federalist Movement. Researchers interested in the World Movement for World Federal Government are advised to also see their conference materials in Series III.</p>"}
