Finland

The Scandinavian student organisations are extremely Indignant that all the protests of the Finnish youth organisations and of the Scandinavian students against holding the communistic World Youth Festival in Helsinki in 1962. have as yet been completely ignored. The protest, submitted to the Committee of the World Youth Festival by the Scandinavian student unions, has not as yet been answered. The Northern student unions do not expect either, that the initiators of the World Youth Festival will take any stand. The student unions are aware of the fact, that they cannot prevent the Festival from taking place in Helsinki by registering protests. Up to date, they are at a loss to know what further steps can be undertaken. The Scandinavian student unions have, however, given their assurance, that the last word has not yet been spoken.
