Motion Lost

In a convicing conclusion to his speech. Mr. Evison said that while he agreed with many of Mr. O'Brien's remarks, prticularly about some of the WFDY propaganda, he felt that Mr. O'Brien had overlooked the main issue. "The main issue." said Mr. Evison, "is not whether the WFDY propaganda is perfect or not, or whether there are Communists in WFDY. or whether WFDY supports Mr. Vyshinsky or Mr. Bevin. The main issue for us as students here in Victoria College, as for students and young people throughout the world, is whether there will be peace, or whether there will be war. The WFDY, the only organisation which the youth of the world has, is a powerful weapon for peace. We must not take part in the present destructive attempts to break down world organisations. We must strengthen them, and make our contribution to the cause of co-operation between the peoples of the world."

On the motion of Mr. O'Brien that the motion be put, the motion was put and defeated on a show of hands by 101-80.
