National Joint Committee for Spanish Relief : ウィキペディア英語版 | National Joint Committee for Spanish Relief The National Joint Committee for Spanish Relief (NJCSR) was a British voluntary association formed at the end of 1936, intended to co-ordinate relief efforts to the victims of the Spanish Civil War. The NJCSR was to act as an umbrella organization, in a field where a number of groups already existed in the United Kingdom. It concentrated on three areas: (a) care of refugees; (b) bringing civilians out of war-affected areas; and (c) medical relief. The NJCSR also acted as a pressure group. In the case of the evacuation of Basque children to the UK, it is regarded as effective in lobbying the government. Its historical role is contested, however; as part of a national "Aid Spain" movement, its wide political base has been seen as indicative of a popular front, involving numerous institutions, but Buchanan has argued that support for Republican Spain was a form of single-issue politics that acted through individuals. ==Supporters== Prominent supporters of the Committee included Geoffrey Theodore Garratt, Eleanor Rathbone and Katharine Stewart-Murray, Duchess of Atholl. Its personnel overlapped largely with the Basque Children's Committee (BCC) of 1937, and the bodies shared London bases at 53 Marsham Street; but the BCC kept a certain distance, representing as it did organisations such as the Catholic Church which wanted nothing to do with the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) associations of the NJCSR. Publicity posters for the NJCSR were designed by Felicity Ashbee, a CPGB member. Leah Manning of the Spanish Medical Aid Committee represented the NJCSR on the ground in Bilbao, and Harry Pursey in Santander. Staff at the office in Perpignan in southern France included Nancy Mitford and Peter Rodd her husband, and Frida Stewart.
