Schools Elect Delegates
as United Front Grows
Here and Abroad

NEW YORK -Echoing the call of
the International Student Commit
tee against War and Fascism for
a World Congress of Students and
Intellectuals, to be held at Geneva,
Dec. % to 81, the National Student
League and the League for Indus
trial Democracy have issued a
united front appeal to American
students to elect delegates from
their schools.
In Europe the call has met with
enthusiastic response. At the re-
cent Congress of Youth Against War
and Fascism at Sheffield, England
46 English students were elected to
the Geneva Congress. Nineteen
English and Scottish schools and
universities will be represented. The
B. o. N. s. S., famous Bulgarian
anti-fascist student association, has
pledged 1000 leva to finance their
large delegation. Spanish students,
undaunted by the terror raging in
Spain, promise at least so delegates
and are publishing a magazine
"Fronte Universitario," as the or
gan Of the preparations committee
Joint Action Under Way
Outstanding in the preparations
SO far, has been the sending of rep
reSentativeS from the World Student
Committee to the Congress of the
International Socialist Student Fed
Grafton urging them to endorse the
World Congress. The Socialist Stu
dents instructed the delegation to
contact its various national sections
Acceptance has in turn been re-
ceived from the French National
Socialist Student Federation on the
proposals of the French Student
Committee. Joint action in sending
a large delegation of French Stu
dents is under way.
Socialist students are working to-
gether with the Student League of
Canada in building student anti
war committees in Toronto and Nc
Gill University and in other schools
throughout Canada.
Roadway Made in U. S.
Preparation in the United States
has made Roadway in the past two
weeks. A call to the World Student
Congress was issued to the Amer
lean students signed by students
and intellectuals reresenting widely
divergent points of view but agree
ing upon the necessity of holding
such a congress.
The regional conferences have al
ready elected delegates. The New
England Regional Conference is
snding a group of delegates. The
University of North Carolina has
elected a university representative.
In New York, the election of dele
gats, in high schools and colleges
is planned for the near future. In
all parts of the country, action is
being taken to send students to the
Congress. S. Gerber, district or
ganizer of the National Student
League in California will be the Of
ficial representative for that organ
lzation.
The World Student Congress will
find important work to be done. The
growing strength of organized stu
dent opposition to war and fascism
has made it necessary to coordinate
and integrate the work on an inter-
national scale. The problems of
students in all countries have now
become identical. Tactics must be
worked out to meet the suppressive
measures levied against students in
the fight for their needs and in
terests. American students must
send the largest and broadest pos
sible delegation to Geneva for Dec
20 to 81.
