By October 1942 the State Council of the League had defined its aims as to 'draw into its ranks the clearest thinking youth of our generation. We aim to help the labour movement win the youth for the advance to the new socialist order and to train our members to be honest, clear thinking and energic builders of the new socialist order.' Post-war the League acted as an educational, social and political organisation, one high- light being the organisation of the Youth Carnival for Peace in 1952.
