Split between IUS and ISC

[unclear: During] the 1950s the split [unclear: etween] the IUS and the ISC [unclear: became] complete, until now [unclear: here] is little contact [unclear: between] he two giant student [unclear: organ] sations.

[unclear: Each] denounces the other [unclear: t] every available-[unclear: opportunity] with the IUS nominally [unclear: llgned] with "the East" [unclear: and] he ISC with the "free [unclear: coun] ries of the West."

[unclear: It] is openly acknowledged [unclear: hat] the IUS and other Com-[unclear: munist] student organisations are subsidised by the State, [unclear: out] the source of ISC [unclear: funds] has been a continual mystery.

When the ISC was [unclear: first] started at the end of the 1940s [unclear: found] difficulty in [unclear: obtaining] money. But in 1947 President Truman signed the National Security Act and created the Central Intelli-gence Agency, and it has now been admitted that from the beginning of 1952 the USNSA among others has been heavily subsidised by the CIA. And I'm quite sure that the ISC was subsidised from birth by the CIA.

The extent of the finance given to student and youth organisations has risen over the years until now USNSA admits that it receives an average of 200,000 dollars a year from the CIA.

The chairman of the USNSA has admitted that at one time his organisation had received as much as 80 per cent of its 850.000-dollar budget from the CIA

The total given to the ISC and the World Assembly of Youth is at present unknown —funds have been skilfully distributed through a number of front organisations.
