Wartime
Evans became editor of "The New Commonwealth Quarterly", a journal published by the New Commonwealth Institute which studied international relations, in 1935. (Winston Churchill was chairman of the institute's British section from 1936.) Evans also helped to found the World Youth Congress in 1936, and was elected President of its Political Section during its meeting in Geneva in 1936 and re-elected at the meeting in New York in 1938. During a foreign tour of Germany in 1936, Evans was arrested for "anti-Fascist views". On the outbreak of war he joined the Royal Air Force and served overseas in North Africa and Italy, serving for most of the war as a Squadron Leader, and ending as a Wing Commander.
