In view of the fact that the WFDY has not published a complete list of
its affiliates for many years, particularly since the mass withdrawals
of non-Communist organizations occurred in 1947, 1948 and 1949, and
in view of the fact that the WFDY frequently failed to identify by name
the organizations that did affiliate or disaffiliate, the above list
may contain sorne inadvertent omissions or inaccuracies? Confirmation
