False Statement

False Statement

The paragraph which states that all South American States, all states of the Middle and Far East and all African areas where there were educational facilities are represented, mostly by representative national unions, is untrue. The only "national union" from South America at the last IUS Conference was Ecuador. If you give the benefit of the doubt to Bolivia, the tally would be increased to two. At the last COSEC conference, seven came from Latin America and there will probably be more this year.

Outside communist Asia only two national unions (Japan and Burma—the latter a doubtful case) were at the last IUS conference as compared with 4 at the last COSEC conference, excluding Australia and New Zealand. Apart from the Arab countries and South Africa, only one delegate came from Africa itself to the IUS conference, compared with delegates from six national unions who attended the COSEC conference. There is only one full European member of IUS, Finland, and the Finns dissented from most of the motions at the last IUS meeting.
