Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 14, No. 3. April 5, 1951

[Opening Quote]

" As I understand it the reason why the Council of NZUSA wished to be represented was that this was the first meeting since the foundation of IUS of its highest governing body, the Congress, and the Association wanted every effort made to persuade IUS to cut down its partisan political activity and spend more energy on the practical side of student affairs and thus enable the Western Unions to co-operate fully with it once again. The IUS would then become a fully representative international student organisation.

At the Congress every effort was made to put across this point of view, but with absolutely no effect. If anything we can expect in the future that IUS will intensify its political activities and continue its present comparative inactivity in most fields of practical work. There was no evdence whatsoever to justify any change towards a closer association with IUS of NZUSA's present policy."
