(fols. 1-6) report by Greenidge to the Society's Committee on his post-war tour of the United States and the West Indies. His main concern in the United States was to press on behalf of the Society for the establishment of a United Nations Committee on Slavery, and for the transfer of the South West Africa (Namibia) mandate to the United Nations (see MSS. Brit. Emp. s. 285/4). The report outlines his progress in establishing contact with members of the Human Rights Commission and with sympathetic individuals and organisations. Those helping him included Wilfred Benson of the International Labour Organisation and Ralph Bunche of the State Department and the Caribbean Commission. References to the section of this report dealing with British Honduras (Belize), British Guiana (Guyana), Trinidad, and Barbados have been made in the appropriate places, summer 1946
