In the April 1945 issue of The Viewpoint, the unit publication for camp #51, Langford described the primary goals of the Pacifist Information Center as follows: 1) the development of unity so that the “full impact of the pacifist movement can be brought to bear on the public in those areas and at those times when public opinion is most receptive”; and 2) “acquainting the public with pacifist principles, methods, and accomplishments by…effective means of information and education”.
