solution to the crisis lies in the restructuring of the system. This includes establishment of direct
relationships between producing and consuming states, thus replacing the existing role of the multi-
national companies; the increased involvement of unions in the development of national energy
programs: and the immediate halt to the rise in prices resulting from decisions taken by the nmonopo-
lies. Overall, the WFTU deems it important that the people understand the true nature of the
problem, and that the capitalist system not be allowed to use the crisis for its own benefit. In this
latter context, the WFTU rejected Kissinger's efforts for Western cooperation: "the ideology of
all-round solidarity which the capitalist governments are calling for from their people must be fought,
for it can contribute to strengthening the false idea that states and their monopolies have been forced
to adopt the present austerity policy despite their wishes." In sum, the WFTU views the crisis facing
the developed capitalist countries as one of their own making, and the solution to be a fundamental
social and political adjustment to the realities of the historical moment.
Consistent with its attitude toward the problems existing in the Middle East, the WFTU extended
its full backing to the struggle of the Palestinian people. In a statement issued to support the request
of several countries that the Palestine Liberation Organization be invited to appear before the United
Nations, the WFTU called on the U.N. General Assembly not only to respond affirmatively to the
request but also to give a massive vote of approval to the Palestinian cause. It also indicated that it
would seek to mobilize world-wide trade union support for a permanent and just peace in the Middle
East.
The Trade Union Internationals were active during the year in implementing the general policies
laid down at the Eighth Congress. At a meeting of the Executive Bureau of the Commercial, Office,
and Bank Workers' TUI it was stressed that future activities should bear the stamp of the WFTU's
unity policy (Flashes, no. 2). The Metal and Engineering Industries' TUI issued a declaration on the
deteriorating situation in the car industry. In it the workers were urged to resist measures being
adopted by the multi-national companies aimed at making labor suffer the consequences of the oil
crisis. The TU1 then put forward proposals for cooperation with the ICFTU and the WCL (ibid., no.
1). These unity proposals were apparently rejected by the ICFTU and the WCL (ibid., no. 5). Irina
Tsikora (U.S.S.R.), secretary, represented the World Federation of Teachers' Unions (FISE) at the
44th International Congress on Secondary Education. On behalf of the FISE she called on the
teachers' movements to promote joint action; she also announced that the FISE would hold a "World
Teachers' Conference" in 1975 (ibid., no. 34).
Publications. The most important publication of the WFTU is an illustrated magazine, World
Trade Union Movement, circulated in some 70 countries and in English, French, Spanish, German,
Russian, and other languages. Flashes, published several times a month in four languages, is a four-to-
five-page information bulletin containing brief reports and documents.
World Peace Council. The "World Peace" movement headed by the World Peace Council (WPC)
dates from August 1948, when a "World Congress of Intellectuals for Peace" in Wroclaw, Poland, set
up an organization called the "International Liaison Committee of Intellectuals." This committee in
April 1949 convened a "First World Peace Congress" in Paris. The congress launched a "World
Committee of Partisans of Peace," which in November 1950 was renamed the "World Peace Council."
Originally based in Paris, it was expelled in 1951 by the French government, moving first to Prague
and then, in 1954,to Vienna-where. it adopted the name "World Council of Peace." Although
outlawed in Austria in 1957, the World Council of Peace continued its operations in Vienna under the
cover of a new organization, the International Institute for Peace (IIP). The IIP has subsequently been
referred to by WPC members as the "scientific-theoretical workshop of the WPC" (CTK, Czecho-
slovak news agency, 16 December 1971). In September 1968 the World Council of Peace transferred

its headquarters to Helsinki, while the lIP remained in Vienna. Although no formal announcement
was made, the World Council of Peace has reverted to its original name, the World Peace Council.
Structure and Leadership. The WPC is organized on a national basis, with peace committees and
other affiliated groups in some 80 countries. No exact figure is available oi the total individual
membership. At the Council meeting in February 1974 several significant changes took place in the
organizational structure. Although the Council remains as the highest authority, an expanded Presi-
dential Committee was established of 101 persons. This committee in turn elects the Bureau (24
persons) and the Secretariat (18). On the Bureau are representatives from peace movements in the
following countries: France, Italy, Belgium, and Great Britain; the U.S.S.R., the German Democratic
Republic (GDR), Poland, Hungary, and Bulgaria; Cuba, Chile, Panama, and Argentina; Madagascar,
Lgypt, and Ghana; Vietnam, Japan, India, and Bangladesh; Iraq/Syria, the United States, and Austra-
lia. The number is completed with a representative of FRELIMO. The Secretariat has representatives
from Chile, the Federal Republic of Germany, Finland, Madagascar, India, the GDR, the U.S.S.R.,
Argentina, Iraq, Italy, Egypt, Hungary, France, Bulgaria, Poland, South Africa, the United States, and
Panama. It should be noted that various international organizations such as the IUS, WFSW, WFTU,
WIDF, and WFDY are represented on the Presidential Committee.
Amendments adopted at the 1974 Council require the Council hereafter to meet every three
years instead of every two; the national peace movements are urged to meet annually. The Presiden-
tial Committee will now meet only once a year instead of twice. The newly created Bureau will
normally meet three or four times a year to review international events and the Council's work, and to
execute decisions of the Presidential Committee. It appears that the Bureau will have the authority to
act independently on a wide variety of matters (BTA, 19 February). The executive bodies of the
IIP-ostensibly independent of those of the WPC, but in fact elected by the WPC Council-are the
7-member Presidium and 30-member Executive Committee.
The 1974 Council created two new commissions: one on mass media and one on peace research
(Peace Courier, No. 6).
Romesh Chandra (India) was reelected as secretary-general of the WPC. As secretary-general he
not only heads the Secretariat but is also a member of both the Bureau and the Presidential Commit-
tee.
UNESCO's Executive Committee on 24 June voted to admit the WPC to the status of "Consultation
and Association-Category A". Only 36 of some 330 non-governmental organizations have been
admitted under this category. "The new status grants the World Peace Council a number of advan-
tages, such as the right to send observers to UNESCO's General Conference and Commissions, to
advise the Director General on matters pertaining to UNESCO's program, to attend meetings orga-
nized by UNESCO on matters within its competence, and to receive subventions from UNESCO for
activities which make valuable contribution to the achievement of the World Organization's activi-
ties" (ibid., July).
Views and Activities. In pursuance of the decisions taken by the Presidential Committee in
Warsaw in May 1973, the secretary-general circulated a note calling for a Council meeting in February
1974. Entitled "New International Climate, New Peace Movement, Stronger Organization and Struc-
ture of the World Peace Council," the note put forward a set of proposals for discussion at the
Council meeting. Many of these proposals dealt with organizational changes; others, however, sug-
gested expanding both the "contacts" and activities of the WPC (Peace Courier, January) In the
dialogue preceding the Council, particular attention was given to charting a new "action program" to
take advantage of the improved international climate. The key to success in a period when "peace and
detente" have the growing support of millions "will be the unity of action of all peace forces
throughout the world, a unity bringing together diverse political forces concerned with the future of
mankind'

the agenda, drew up for approval proposals to amend the statutes, and prepared the lists of Council
members for election (Conference Documents).
The Council opened in Sofia before nearly 600 participants representing 103 countries and 30
international and non-governmental organizations. Bulgarian state and party head Todor Zhivkov
delivered the initial speech. lie was followed by Chandra, who thanked both the Bulgarian people and
the other socialist countries for their contribution in the struggle for peace. In talking of the future,
he emphasized the need to take into account the growing desire of all peoples for peace and thus the
opportunities available to the WPC. Chandra added that the WPC is prepared for the occasion: it is a
mass movement with national organizations in all parts of the world, and increasingly enjoys the
support of groups not only in the socialist countries but also in the capitalist and non-aligned ones; all
movements struggling for national liberation have sided with the WPC. Chandra spoke again and 'again
of the need for unity of all peace-loving forces. (Sofia radio, 16 February.)
Four general commissions met during the second day. In one, representatives from peace orga-
nizations reviewed the role of the WPC, and the previous WPC Congress, in the "struggle for victory
of peace and the relaxation of international tension." Speaking in this commission, Chandra noted
"that certain peace organizations should be watched because they had taken an anti-Soviet stance-
they had stopped being genuine peace organizations." The second commission discussed cooperation
between the WPC and international organizations. It was determined here to continue the practice by
the WPC affiliates of taking a stand on important questions in the United Nations and its Committees.
In the third, on disarmament, the delegates denounced the high expenditures on armaments and
praised the Soviet proposal for a cutback in the military budgets. The Bangladesh delegates accused
the imperialists-including China--of hampering the establishment of a lasting peace on the subcon-
tinent. The fourth, on "I-Iotspots: the Middle East and Indochina," saw Israel's occupation of Arab
lands as the source of extreme tension, and the continued U.S. support of the "puppet" regimes in
Southeast Asia as dangerous and war-provoking. (BTA, Bulgarian news agency, 17 February.)
On the third day the regional. commissions on Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America held their
sessions. The main topic throughout was disarmament and the regulation of arms. All speakers
referred to the decisive role played in the area of disarmament by the socialist countries, led by the
Soviet Union. The European group reviewed progress on European security and the role public
opinion could play in reducing tensions. The African, Asian, and Latin American Commissions argued
on behalf of liberation struggles and for the creation of'united anti-imperialist fronts on each conti-
nent. Future seminars and conferences, on topics such as "Problems of the Indian Ocean," were
projected. (Daily Bulletin, 19 February; BTA, 18 February.) Resolutions called for the peace forces
to rally behind the struggle to build the edifice of peace; to defeat fascism, particularly in Chile; to
remove Israeli forces from Arab lands; and to wage a just struggle against the imperialists in Indochina
(BTA, 19 February). (The full reports of these commissions were issued on 13 March and are
contained in the Peace Courier of that month).
After the close of the World Congress of Peace Forces, October 1973, a delegation from the
Congress visited the United Nations headquarters in New York. This organized post-Congress activity
was consistent with the general directions issued at the Congress. The delegation delivered the "con-
clusions" of the Congress to the president of the U.N. General Assembly and then spoke with the
secretary-general. Prior to its departure, the members met with various U.N. representatives to discuss
the "urgent issues" raised at the Congress (Peace Courier, no. 11, 1973). In early 1974 Chandra
announced that the "Steering Committee," which had been set up at the October Congress, would
convene for the first time in Moscow in February. This committee was created to maintain post-Con-
gress organizational direction over various "peace" activities. In making this announcement Chandra
indicated that the committee would operate under the slogan "There is no Time to be Lost" and

would discuss the mechanics of further strengthening cooperation with all organizations and parties
which participated in the Congress and ways of realizing the decisions of the Congress and its 14
commissions. (TASS, 15 January.)
ttvpr?wntutives from 20 international and 34 national organizations took part in a meeting of
the Steering Committee in Moscow on 9-10 February 1974. Participants reported on the broad
support the decisions of the Congress had received in their respective countries. It was also noted that
the Congress had sent representatives to the highest level in the United Nations and UNESCO and
that these bodies had pledged their cooperation in the struggle for peace. The Steering Committee
decided that it was necessary to establish a body to coordinate the activities of the international and
national organizations represented at the Congress. This decision led to the formation of the Perma-
nent Liaison Committee of the World Congress of Peace Forces. This new committee, headed by
Chandra, acts as an international coordinating body for the WPC. Other executives of the committee
are vice-chairman, Sean MacBride (Ireland; president of the International Peace Bureau); executive
secretary, Oleg Kharkhardin (U.S.S.R.); Horace Perera from Sri Lanka (secretary-general of the World
Fed tion of United Nations Associations); and Mikhail Zimyanin (U.S.S.R.; IOJ vice-president). In
its first public statement, the Liaison Committee issued a letter on 12 March outlining an extensive
list of activities that would be undertaken under the sponsorship of the WPC in the months ahead.
(Neucs Deutschland, East Berlin, 10-12 February; TASS, I 1 February.)
The first meeting of the Working Commission of the Continuing Liaison Committee was held in
London on 22-23 June with the All-Britain Peace Liaison Group as host and representatives from
numerous international organizations on hand. Problems in Chile, Vietnam, and the Middle East were
discussed; concern was expressed at the slow progress of the negotiations on European security; and
special emphasis was placed on the need to increase the cooperation between non-governmental
public organizations and the United Nations and other inter-governmental organizations (Peace
Courier, no. 7).
The WPC Secretariat called for observance of a special month of celebration in honor of the
"twenty-fifth anniversary of the World Peace Movement." This month, 25 April-25 May, was high-
lighted by a Presidential Committee anniversary meeting in Paris on 26 May, preceded by rallies held
by national peace movements of such countries as Argentina, Norway, Senegal, Finland, and Bul-
garia. On 28 May, more than 2,000 persons attended the commemorative meeting in the Salle Pleyel
in Pa s, (L'Humanite, Paris, 23, 27, 29 May;Peace Courier, nos. 4, 5.)
A consultative meeting on the Middle East was held by the WPC in Rome early in December
1973. Discussion was focused on possible initiatives by public opinion to pressure Israel to withdraw
from occupied Arab territories and. to recognize the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. It was
decided to hold another international conference on the Middle East and the Italian Peace Commit-
tee, given the responsibility of convening an international preparatory committee, organized a meet-
ing in Rome on 23 February which was attended by representatives from the international fronts and
from numerous national groups (WFTU Flashes, no. 10). A second preparatory gathering, in Rome on
1 June, decided to hold the conference no later than the end of October (L'Unita, Rome, 5 June).
On 15-19 October the WPC Bureau met in Panama. The session, devoted to problems of Latin
America, ranged over a number of subjects, but the main stress was on the importance of the national
liberation movements and the danger inherent in the "fascist dictatorship" in Chile. The rise of
fascism in Chile and other areas of Latin America was blamed on imperialism, international corpora-
tions, and the machinations of local oligarchies. To combat the multi-national companies, it was
decided to organize an "international week of mobilization of\masses" that would bring public
pressure against these business corporations. The Bureau also determined to establish a new regional
organization in Latin America to "defend the interests of the peoples." (TASS, 19 October.) A week

national organizations from almost 100 countries were represented. Vasily Isaev, vice-chairman of
Moscow City Soviet, welcomed the participants. In his speech, Chandra indicated that the forces of
cooperation and detente had begun to prevail; fascism had been routed in Portugal, Guinea-Bissau had
been liberated, and a new government had been formed in Mozambique, The fYnal communique
stressed the need for the continued struggle against the menace of imperialism. (TASS, 25, 27, 28
October.)
In line with the general interest over population questions, the WPC sponsored with the "Con-
golese Association of Friendship among Peoples," a seminar on "Population and Development" in
Brazzaville. Third World countries and international organizations were well represented. All points of
the agenda linked population with economic, social, and racial issues; the concluding remarks noted
that "false and confusing theories were being put forward" on the issue of population. (Peace
Courier, no. 7). The report of this seminar was subsequently presented to the U.N.-sponsored Popula-
tion Conference in Bucharest, where the WPC held a series of informal discussions with the delegates
(ibid., no. 8/9).
The WPC was represented at an "International Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations
against' Apartheid and Colonialism," held at Geneva, 2-5 September and organized by the Sub-Com-
mittee on Racism and Decolonization of the Special NGO Committee on Human Rights. R. Chandra
is the chairman of this sub-committee. In addition to the NGOs, governments and national liberation
movements were also well represented. Indeed, the national liberation movements were the driving
force behind much of the discussions. (Ibid., no. 10.) The fact that Chandra chaired the sub-commit-
tec ..hich organized the gathering? that Sean McBride, commissioner of the Council for Namibia and
executive of the WPC's new Steering Committee, chaired the opening plenary session of this gather-
ing, and that other WPC members were prominent in the organizations and national liberation move-
ments represented clearly indicated that the WPC has attained an influential position in this and other
"peripheral" organizations of the United Nations. Indeed, the WPC's influence in the United Nations
can no longer be discounted.
The WPC along with other international fronts and non-governmental organizations met in mid-
September in Paris and called for "urgent implementation of the Resolution of the Security Council
on Cyprus." The declaration issued at the end of the session accused NATO of trying to deny Cyprus
its independence (TASS, 23 September). This action followed a special WPC Bureau meeting in July
which had set in motion the machinery for the Paris gathering (Peace Courier, no. 8/9).
A "Second International Seminar on Oil and Raw Materials for Economic Development, Social
Progress and Equitable Economic Relations" was planned for Baghdad in November, to be jointly
sponsored by the AAPSO. Among the agenda items are nationalization, oil revenues in the service of
development, and the use of oil as a weapon in the struggle against imperialism. (Ibid.)
Chandra addressed the "All-India Peace and Solidarity" meeting in August, a national prepara-
tory-..immittee gathering for the "Conference on the Indian Ocean Bases" to be held in New Delhi in
November. It was decided at this meeting that during October there would be a broad-based campaign
on'the Indian Ocean issue and against monopolies, and that 1 November would be observed as Indian
Ocean Day. (New Age, New Delhi, 1 September.) In Hyderabad, India, earlier in the year Chandra led
a WPC delegation to a similar conference sponsored by the All-Indian Peace and Solidarity Organiza-
ticin. The delegates called then for the liquidation of U.S. and British military bases in the Indian
Ocean, and proposed the Indian Ocean Conference (Patriot, New Delhi, 8 January).
Christian Peace Conference. The Christian Peace Conference (CPC) emerged in 1974 as a particu-
larly active group. Since the CPC operates in tandem with the WPC, the CPC activities are discussed in
this section. A few years ago Le Figaro (Paris, 10 October 19,73) had the following comment: "After

the 1968 events in Czechoslovakia deep repercussions have occurred within the CPC so that it has
become an instrument of Soviet policy."
On 5-7 December 1973, the CPC Secretariat met in Prague and reviewed plans for 1974 (CPC
Information, no. 143, 8 December). On 17-20 January 1974 more than 50 participants attended a
meeting in Budapest of the CPC's Committee for International Affairs which discussed "peaceful
coexistence and the tasks of churches and Christians" (MTI, 18 January). Shortly thereafter, in
Moscow, CPC president Metropolitan Nikodim (U.S.S.R.) held general discussions with CPC secre-
tary-general Karoly Toth (Hungary) and 16 other delegates. Preparations were made for several
upcoming meetings. (Ibid., no. 146, 1974.)
In Prague on 4-8 March, the CPC Study Commission for Economy and Politics discussed threats
to world peace and agreed that an essential part of Christian'-,activity consisted of exposing the
"warlike political-economic mechanism of imperialism." (ibid., no. 149, 11 March). On 12-15 March
some 50 representatives of churches and Christian organizations gathered in Prague as a working
commission to review means of cooperation of all peace forces and the tasks of the CPC. The debate
ranged over problems connected with the Indian Ocean, European security, Chile and Vietnam; the
results of the World Congress of Peace Forces were fully supported (Prague radio, 14 March).
The CPC Sub-Commission on the Middle-East met in Cairo on 23-27 April. H. Hetlstern (Switzer-
land), Bishop Samuel (Coptic Orthodox Church), and Archbishop Filaret (Russian Orthodox Church)
chaired the commission. A series of topics were discussed, all of which dealt in some fashion with the
politics of the area; the general position of the participants was supportive of the Arab struggle
against Zionism. Several speakers linked the Christian commitment to the liberation struggle of the
Palestinians while others talked of oil and its impact on politics and peace. In the end the meeting
adopted a statement of principles placing the CPC firmly behind the struggle against Zionism. (Ibid.,
no. 153, 20 April.)
Representatives from the WPC Secretariat and Finnish churches attended the CPC International
Secretariat meeting in Helsinki, 4-8 June. The report of the secretary-general, K. Toth, focused
primarily on European security and Chile. It also noted, however, that "new prospects" were opening
up for cooperation with churches in Africa and Asia. Agreement was reached on Cuba as the site of
the next meeting of the International Secretariat; plans were laid as well for an "Asian Christian Peace
Conference" in India. (Ibid., no. 156, 10 June.)
Publications. The WPC issues a semi-monthly bulletin, Peace Courier, in English, French, Spanish,
and German, and a quarterly journal, New Perspectives, in English and French. The WPC also dis-
tributes occasionally a Letter to National Committees, and a Letter to members. Two new publica-
tions appeared in 1973: Middle East News Letter and Spotlight on Africa. Documents, statements,
and press releases are issued in connection with conferences and campaigns.
