[5][6] The ILP Guild of Youth published the organ Flame.
The National Committee of the ILP Guild of Youth decided to apply for 'sympathetic affiliation' to the Young Communist International, a decision that was ratified by the 1934 Norwich conference of the Guild of Youth (the decision was passed by 18 votes against 12).
A special conference of the ILP Guild of Youth was assembled in Derby in November 1934.
At that conference, the application to the Communist Youth International was withdrawn in a move to retain the unity with ILP.
[8] In 1935 the ILP annual party conference decided to reduce the age limit for party membership to 21, a move that undercut the organizational capacity of the ILP Guild of Youth.
