Some Names

A Permanent Bureau of Twelve headed the organisation which, with a Secretary-General, forms part of a Permanent Committee of 138. Some of the members of this controlling body (lately operating under a change of title): Joliet Curie (World Federation of Scientific Workers), Mme. Cotton (Women's International Democratic Federation), Louis Saillant (World Federation of Trade Unions), Alexander Fedeyev (Committee of Writers of the Soviet Union), Gabriel d'Arboussier (African Democratic Rally), Louis Aragon (International Bureau of Liaison of Intellectuals), Kuo Mo Jo, Vice Premier of China.

There are many others but this list gives some idea of the composition of the Bureau.

Of the 138 members of the Permanent Committee only 17 can he listed with political affiliations unknown—the rest are Communists or fellow travellers.

The next Peace Congress is planned for 1951 in Berlin (Soviet Zone) and is being sponsored by the IUS and WFDY.
