Notes

Published in 1950, this study examines the rise and development of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) from its formation in 1932 through the postwar period. Written by a political scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, the book considers the party as a democratic socialist movement and assesses whether its program could reconcile parliamentary politics with socialist economic aims.

McHenry outlines the party’s origins and structure at the national, provincial, and local levels, and traces its performance in federal elections and in the House of Commons. He reviews party membership, internal organization, and political alliances, and surveys its provincial record, with particular attention to Saskatchewan, where the CCF formed government in 1944.
