(See pages 7 and 9 of Section I, ) In view of the fact that such disaffiliations were not the result of dissatisfaction with the partisan political policies of the IUS ~~ as has been true in the case of previous disaffiliations -- but rather in order to enable the IUS to realize the greatest possible success from its latest tactical endeavor to implement the IUS unity policy, in compliance with the current CPSU united-front policy, it is felt that the disaffiliations of such organizations are more "nominal" than real and that they will continue to give their fullest possible support to IUS policies and activities in their respective countries, Approved For Release 2000/08/27: CIA-RDP78-00915R000600140008-2 === [PDF page 77] === Approved For Release 2000/08/27: CIA-RDP78-00915R000600140008-2 Section IL, pages 43 through 51, lists the organizations accorded "delegate" status at the Fourth IUS Congress and, consequently, now apparently reparded as constituting the current IUS affiliates, Those organizations not listed in Section II but listed in Section I as "affiliates" should now apparently be regarded, at least nominally and formally,| as 1US "parallel" organizations.

(Note: According to a Czechoslovak News Agency, CTK, report of September 3, 1956, this claim was made officially by the IUS at its Fourth World Student Congress in Prague. Confirmation of this claim is being sought. This claim, if correct, possibly represents a recent IUS decision to preclude from I1US membership minority organizations from countries in which a national union of students represents the majority of the students.)

AUSTRALIA /Note: The three Australian organizations listed below, as well as the Austrian Union of Democratic Students, were all "full" members of the IUS until sometime in 1955, at which time they announced their disaffiliation. The August 25, 1956 Czechoslovak News Agency, CTK, reports that the IUS Executive Committee described ''these actions, as...being guided by the interest of strengthening student unity in these countries...(and as) a positive contribution toward the removal of the obstacles which hitherto had prevented the development of better cooperation between the IUS and the national unions of these countries, "! While these organizations are "technically" no longer formally affiliated with the IUS, their disaffiliation may be more nominal than real in view of the fact that they withdrew only to help the IUS achieve its aims and not because of dissatisfaction with the partisan political policies of the IUS, as did others. Furthermore, since the National Union of Australian University Students has refused to reenter into even a very limited type of affiliation with the IUS, the Australian organizations listed below will probably continue to support the IUS and its activities in any way possible./ a.

WORLD FEDRRATION OF DEMOCRATIC YOUTH [Note: The IUS is an "international autonemous affiliate" of the World Federation of Democratic Youth. / 98. UNDESIGNATED AFFILIATIONS In view of the jfact that the IUS has not published a complete list of its affiliated organizations since 1951 and in view of the fact that it has, on occasion, failed to identify by name organizations admitted to membership since that time, the above list may contain some inadvertent omissions or inaccuracies. Confirmation of the current|/accuracy of the information listed above is being sought, 99. UNDESIGNATED PARALLEL ORGANIZATIONS In addition to the organizations listed above, the WF DY and the IUS can usually count on a host of small but active organizations that are usually set up locally, regionally and nationally by leaders of local affiliates to "prepare! for some important upcoming event.. For example, efforts are now being made to set up a network of "preparatory committees for the Sixth World Festival of Youth and Students" that is to be held in Moscow in August 1957. |Particular effort is being made to attract the support and participation of non-Communist organizations and unaffiliated young people in general. These ''committees" may have been newly created or may be the same ones that were set up to "prepare" for the Fifth World Youth Festival that was held in Warsaw in August 1955. While these ''preparatory committees" are ostensibly set up on an ad hoc, temporary besis, great effort is made to convert them into permanent affiliates or "parallel" organizations. Such efforts have met with some success in many countries, particularly in the underdeveloped areas where "Rural Youth Committees" and "Committees |in Defense of the Rights of Youth" that were set up in 1954 to prepare for international conferences still continue to exist.

The above list, for example, does not contain the names of the "thirteen youth organizations" that the WFD‘ reports were admitted as members in August 1956 by the Council at its meeting in Sofia but which the WFDY failed to identify by name. UNDESIGNATED PARALLEL ORGANI ZATIONS In addition to the organizations listed above, the WFDY and the IUS can usually count on a host of small but active organizations that are usually set up locally, regionally and nationally by leaders of local WFDY~IUS affiliates to "prepare" for some important upcoming event. For example, efforts are now being made to set up a network of "preparatory committees for the Sixth World Festival of Youth and Students" that is to be held in Moscow in August 1957, Particular effort is being made to attract the support and participation of non«Communist organizations and unaffiliated young people in general. These "committees'' may have been newly created or may be the same ones that were set up to "prepare" for the Fifth World Youth Festival that was held in Warsaw in August 1955, While these "preparatory committees" are ostensibly set up on an ad hoc, temporary basis, great effort is made to convert them into permanent affiliates or "parallel't organizations, Such efforts have met with some success in many couhtries, particularly in the underdeveloped areas where ''Rural Youth Committees't and "Committees in Defense of the Rights of Youth" that were set up in 1954 to prepare for international conferences still continue to exist.

This number is based on signatures collected in ''signature campaigns", The Asian Solidarity Committee was created at the Conference of Asian Countries in New Delhi, India, in April 1955 (initiated by the WPC) and claims now to be an independent organization. However, in effect, it is a branch of the WPC and is expected to take over many of the WPC activities in the oriental regions. Local Solidarity Committees have been formed in China, Japan, India, and the USSR and "preparatory committees" in most of the other oriental countries with the announced intention of establishing permanent committees in all of these countries, quien?

Two such campaigns were the results of resolutions adopted by the conventions of this movement, one in Stockholm in March, 1950, and one in Vienna‘in January, 1955. They are the socalled Stockholm Appeal against the Use of Atomic Weapons and the Vienna Appeal against the Use of Atomic Weapons. The Stockholm A al was publicized as having gained 482, 482,199 signatures to the following declaration: "We demand the absolute banning of the atom weapon, arm of terror and mass extermination of populations. "We demand the| establishment of strict international control to ensure the implementation of this banning measure. '' We. consider that any government which would be first to use the atom weapon against any country whatsoever would be committing a crime against humanity and should be dealt with as a war criminal. "We call on all men of good will throughout the world to sign this appeal,'' The Vienna Appeal, made in January, 1955, claimed to have attracted 655, 963, 811 signatures, although its makers originally had set a goal of one billion such signatures, The appeal read as follows: "Certain governments are today preparing to let loose atomic war. They are trying to make the peoples accept it as inevitable. | The use of atomic weapons would result in a war of extermination. "We declare that any government that lets loose atomic war will forfeit the trust of its people and find itself condemned by every people of the world. Now and in the future we shall oppose those who organise atomic war. "We demand the destruction of all stocks of atomic weapons wherever they may be and the immediate stopping of their manufacture.!!

These friendship/cultural groups are widely exploited by the sponsoring Soviet, Chinese, etc., organizations as propaganda outlets in the free world. Within the Communist bloc countries, the Soviet Union appears to be the only nation which maintains societies of friendship in the other Communist countries. The satellite countries do not, as of this date, have programs whereby they sponsor societies of friendship within each other's territories. Some mention has been made of the possibility of founding a society of friendship with China in the Soviet Union, but there is no evidence as yet that it has been established. In section B are listed all those societies of friendship or cultural relations promoted by the Soviet, Chinese, East European satellite, North Korean and North Vietnamese sponsoring organizations listed in section A. The identity of the sponsoring Communist country is shown in the title of each friendship/cultural relations society or is otherwise indicated. It might be noted here that membership in such organizations does not always indicate Communist Party membership or even sympathy with Communism. In some cases in non-Orbit countries, the societies reportedly have listed as their honorary officers, high-ranking government officials or other prominent citizens without having requested permission to do so. In other non-Orbit areas, prominent government officials have permitted their names to be listed as honorary officers of the friendship societies. In many cases this was not done for reasons of Communist sympathy, but for reasons of protocol because of the quasi-official nature of the friendship society. There are also incidents where individuals who are students of Russian literature, history, art, etc., who likewise have no interest in the political purposes of the friendship/cultural relations societies, join one of these groups in order to be able to use its library which is sometimes better supplied with Russian publications than any other local institution.

In late 1953 and early 1954, for example, when it became clear that Carlos CASTILLO Armas forces were organizing and would attemp a revolution against the pro-Communist ARBENZ regime in Guatemala, a crop of societies of frienship with Guatemala sprang up in several Latin American countries. Probably the majority of these groups are Tow inactive. A central directive may have been responsible for the almost simultaneous appearance of these groups, although they app¢ared to be set up and managed by the local Communist Party, Approved For Release 2000/08/27: CIA-RDP78-00915R000600140008-2 === [PDF page 337] === Approved For Release 2000/08/27:3¢dishtipminet@eS!) 5RO00600140008-2 A. COORDINATING BODIES: Listed below are the Soviet, Chinese, East European satellite, North Korean and North Vietnamese organizations which sponsor, support, guide and exploit as propaganda centers the Communistdominated friendship and cultural relations societies found throughout the free world. 1. All-Union Society for Cultural Relations Abroad (Soviet) (Vsesoyuznoye obshchestvo kulturnoy svyazi zagranitsey, VOKS) Office Locations: Moscow, and Leningrad, USSR Editorial Office: Ulitsa Kalinina, 16, Moscow, K-9, USSR Official Publications: The VOKS Bulletin, a bi-monthly, published in several languages. Moscow News, a bi-weekly, published in French and English. Numerous news letters anda great number of books on all aspects of Soviet life. Executive Officers: Chairman of the Board: Andrey I. DENISOV First Deputy Chairman: V. J. YAKOVLEV Subsidiary Organizations: Within the Soviet Union, each federal republic has its own organization for cultural relations (OKS), each forming a part of the larger VOKS. Each OKS apparently follows a program which reflects local interests and specific foreign affinities. The Ukrainian OKS, for instance, is especially interested in Canada where there is a large Ukrainian emigre group. Wherever it has been available, information about the several OKS organizations has been listed under the Soviet Union country division of section B. Abroad, both the local Communist Party as well as the local VOKS representative appear to provide direction and assistance to the society of friendship with the Soviet Union, even though is usually made for the friendship Approved For Release 2000/08/27.

Since, however, the societies of friendship with the Soviet Union receive much (probably most) of their material support from VOKS and since they serve as VOKS' primary propaganda outlets abroad, they are listed as closely related organizations. The Agsociation for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries (ACRFC), Headquarters address: Peiping, China This organization, formed in May 1954, appears to be the Chinesle counterpart of the Soviet VOKS. Executive Officers: CH'U T'u-nan Vice Chairman: TING Hsi-lin YANG Han- sheng CHAO I-min Secretary General: CH'EN Chung-ching Deputy Secretary General: WU Hua-chih The ACRFC is probably subordinate to the United Front Department and to the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. Through the ACRFC the Chinese Communist Party maintains an active relationship with societies of friendship with China which are located in several countries of the free world. The ACRFC should not be confused with the Liaison Bureau for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries, a Chinese government organ under the State Council, which deals directly, ona government to government basis, with counterpart organs) of the Soviet bloc countries in handling exchangess of cultural delegations between those countries and Communist China. Albanian Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries This is possibly the Albanian counterpart of the Soviet VOKS.) If so, it presumably supports societies of friendship with Albania which are located in non+Orbit countries. eee | Approved For Release 2000/08/27: CIA-RDP78-00915R000600140008-2 === [PDF page 339] === Approved For Release 2000/08/27:(QiilepeteiMGeeb ROO0G00140008-2 4, Committee for Friendship and Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries (Komitet za priyatelstvo i kulturni vruzki s chuzhbina) Address: Boulevard Ruski 5, Sofia, Bulgaria Probably the Bulgarian equivalent of the Soviet VOKS.
