The First Two Days

These were important because of the Korean resolution and the Statement by the British National Union of Students.

Lt. Col. Kan Puk introduced the Korean resolution as the leader of the Korean delegation. He was given a tumultuous reception lasting 15 minutes and led by the delegation from the United States. He then moved this resolution:

"We solemnly condemn these criminals who have committed such inhuman crimes against the Korean people and students. We demand the withdrawal of all U.S. troops and the rescinding of the illegal decision of the Security Council. Hands off Korea! Long Live the Korean people and their success in their fight for peace and national independence!" It was overwhelmingly adopted.

During the next day Algerian, Nigerian and Guadaloup students addressed the Congress and stressed the backwardness of colonial areas. The Chinese delegation arrived and was welcomed with a demonstration.

Mr. Stanley Jenkins, of the British National Union, then spoke and presented the British report. For this report he was censured by the Congress and slandered by the speakers. "We are not here to listen to words of imperialism," declared the mover of the censure motion, a Roumanian delegate. (P 10, 11, 12).
