Papers maintained by Professor Julius Stone relating to the Prime Minister's Committee on National Morale, chaired by Major A.A. Conlon. The Committee was established in mid-1942 to investigate national morale and to advise government on policy regarding morale. The Committee Vice-Chairman was Professor Stone and other members over the Committee's life included Dr K. Barry, Professor R.M. Crawford, S. Deamer, Professor A.K. Stout, Dr I.H. Hogbin, Dr W.E.W. Stanner, Professor R.D. Wright, Justice E.D. Roper, Dr C.E.W. Bean, and Professor I. Clunies-Ross. Subcommittees of the Committee on National Morale included Enemy Propaganda, Films and Education.

The 33 files in this part of the consignment were received from John Pomeroy who had been lent the material by Anne Conlon to use for his thesis. The files had been given by Professor Stone to Anne Conlon who was writing a biography of her father-in-law, A.A. Conlon. When the files were received by the Library, the covers had been numbered and annotated with details of the contents, possibly by Pomeroy. The files have been kept in this order, and the list based closely on an item list supplied by Pomeroy. Not all files have titles.
