Na- tional Union of Students in Eng- land state that meetings will be held in English and Welsh uni- versities, on the followine day a big london meeting is -to,be held in the Central Hall, West- minster. They have sent the following message to all stu- dents in every country: i “Qn the oceasion of Interna- tional Students’ Day, the Na- tional Union-of Students of Eng- land and Wales sends greetings te students throughout the free. world. ast year hundreds of cur fellow students in Hurope were engaged in a life and death struggle against the Ger- man -oceupation of their lands. Today they see universities once more free and able to take their rightful place in the cultural life of the democratic peoples. “Students in the West now turn to the vast task of rebuild- ing shattered universities, re- storing lost books and equip- ment, re-establishing student life in its fullest sense. For us in Britain, where no enemy occu- pation has been experienced, it is at once a duty and a privilege to give our utmost to our fellow Students in Europe to help in this. ' We shall seek to enrich the in- ance by students throughout the tellectual life and international understanding of ail students and in this way help to lay the basis for a world of lasting peace.” The Presidium of the Soviet Anti-faseist committee sent this message: : “Dear Friends: “The Soviet men and: women students and the whole youth of the Soviet Union, participants in ‘at the-cost of blood. the great struggle for liberty of mankind, send you hearty mili- tant greetings on the oecasion of International Students’ Day. “Thousands of Soviet students are fighting in the ranks of the Red Army of liberation. At the very beginning of the war hun- dreds of students left their lec- ture theatres for the battlefield and have since earned fame by their immortal deeds of glory; eulture and progress. “The present war has taught us to respect one another. It will help us in a successful solution of the many problems with which progressive students are faced, and it will help us achieve com- plete cooperation in the strug- gle for the establishment of a durable and enduring peace. Guard this friendship and our unity as a valuable treasure won May it lead us to a joyful day of victory and a complete triumph of de- mocracy.” False Propaganda Is Spread On Current Events In Spain NEW YORK, N.Y=Bishop ©. Hartman, chairmin of the American Committee for Spanish Freedom, warned news- papers last week to have no traffic with the Nazi version of “the present momentous events in Spain.’ Hitler's puppets in Madrid are seeking to drive: wedges between the people of the United Nations and the over- whelming anti-Axis people of | Spain,” Bashop Hartman pointed out. Their propaganda campaign, - she asserted takes the following ’ forms: | 1. To spread the story that de Gaulle is being defied by the Spanish Republicans and that de Gaulle is opposed to the upris- ing. 2. The claim that American troops in Southern France -are disarming Spanish Republicans and aiding Franco in his attempt to remain in power. 3. To claim that the uprising is part of an international Com- munist plot—a charge whcih has already been echoed by certain sections of the isolationist Am- erican press. “Now that the United Na- tions, by liberating Southern France, haye cut Spain off from Germany, the Spanish people are rising to destroy the Axis machine and restore their republic,” the Bishop de- clared. He cited reports that regular Nazi troops are now in Spain fighting “alongsyde of French Quisling troops in attempting to kill the Republican uprising.” He recalled that Franco Spain had signed the Axis pact but that the Spanish people “in the dark years since 1939 rend- ered noble aid to the cause of the United Nations by sabotag- ing the aid Franco was sending: to Germany from Spain.” © _On November ist, Pkesident Roosevelt sent this message to the youth of the world.” i “Five years ago, on November 17.- 19395 occurred the massacre of Czechoslovakian students and professors by the Nazis—despic- able mass murder that subse- quent “events have proved was but a part of the Nazi design to quiet. forever the voices of men who considered death preferable to destruction of their freedom of belief and their right to teach that belief. : “In the world of tomorrow, these youths will be builders of! the future of nations.
