Tom Quelch was the son of veteran Marxist Harry Quelch and a member of the British Socialist Party (BSP) in the early part of the 20th century, becoming a communist activist in Great Britain in the 1920s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Tom Quelch )〕 Quelch's 1912 appeal for soldiers to refuse to act as strikebreakers caused a Conservative MP, Oliver Locker-Lampson, to complain about him in the House of Commons.〔'Socialist Appeal to Soldiers: Advice to decline strike-duty', ''The Times'', 8 March 1912, p.10; 'House of Commons', ''The Times'', 12 March 1912.〕 Quelch was involved in founding ''The Call'' in 1916, resisting attempts to turn the BSP into a Social Patriotic organisation at the outbreak of the First World War. He was one of 13 conveners of the Leeds convention to hail the Russian Revolution, held on 3 June 1917, and was appointed a member of the Central Committee of the Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies at the event.〔(''What Happened at Leeds'' ), report published by the Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Delegates, June 1917〕 He was delegated to attend the Second Congress of the Comintern and attended the Baku Congress of the Peoples of the East.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Communist Party of Great Britain Writers' Section )〕 Tom Quelch was living in Wimbledon, London in 1940, when he wrote to the ''Manchester Guardian'' with reminiscences of his meetings with Vladimir Lenin.〔Tom Quelch, letter to editor, ''Manchester Guardian'', 14 February 1940〕 ==Writings== * (Review of William Morris' “The Revolt of Ghent” ), ''Justice'', 1 October 1910, p. 3 * 'The New Paganism', ''The New Review'', June 1913, pp. 593–95. * (The War and Its Outcome ), ''Justice'', 17 September 1914, p. 4 * 'Parliamentarianism, Lenin and the BSP', ''The Call'', 22 January 1920 * (War or Peace? ), ''The Call'', No. 200, 5 February 1920 * (with W.
