'Russell played a significant part in the Leeds Convention in June 1917an historic event which saw well over a thousand 'anti-war socialists' gather; many being delegates from the Independent Labour Party and the Socialist Party, united in their pacifist beliefs and advocating a peace settlement. The international press reported that Russell appeared alongside a number of Labour MPs, including both the future Prime Minister, Ramsey McDonald, and the future Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Snowden and that former Liberal MP, and anti-conscription campaigner, Professor Arnold Lupton, was also a guest. After the event, Russell told Lady Ottoline, 'to my surprise, when I got up to speak, I was given the greatest ovation that was possible to give anybody' ' (Wikipedia, citing Russell, 'A Summer of Hope' in Pacifism and Revolution, 1916-18 (Psychology Press, 1995), and 'British Socialists Peace Terms Discussed', The Sydney Morning Herald, 5 June 1917).
