Macdonald Discussion Group. Named after one of its founders, Duncan MACDONALD, in 1951, this Communist discussion group was intended to provide a discreet forum for Communists, some of whom because of their employment or otherwise could not openly adhere to the party; membership was concentrated in the fields of the arts, architecture and the theatre.
