SUPPLEMENT
la In the autumn of 1946, the German section of Europa Jugend (European youth)
was founded in Hamburg, The founding of a similar section for Berlin was
planned. It was decided that Heinrich Keul, a member of the CDU was to be
the leader in that city. Up to date in Berlin, however, the movement is
still setting up the internal organization and seeking official recognition
from the Allied Control Commission. The Berlin group is headed by a nucleus
of sixteen officials who held a meeting on 15 March 1947 in Vilmersdorf.
Among those present were the Beer brothers, Fredel and Hans,, and the leader
for Zehlendorf (Berlin), (fnu) Kuhn.
20 The movement aims to be international and non-factional in scope, existing
purely for the purpose of bringing together the youth of Europe on a supra-
national, supra-political party basis in order to consider the problems of
a United Europe. Activities planned include: trips abroad, discussion
evenings, cultural activities, etc.
3. The Berlin group maintains liaison with the French section of the movement
in Paris as well as the Italian groups in Italy. From the former, material
and money has been received in Berlin; from the latter, an invitation for
four persons,to visit Italy is under consideration.
4. Any young person is eligible for membership upon the recommendation of two
members; and no questions are asked concerning political affiliation. The
dues at present in Berlin are considered high: twenty-four marks per year.
5. It is expected that the membership for Berlin will run between four and five
hundred. Many among ton.-politically-affiliated students, etc., who have not
participated up to now in youth movement organizatiions,wfll probably join.
This increase in membership will undoubtedly follow up the official sanction
by the Allied Control Commission., The movement hopes eventually to be able
to expend and gain support in other countries.
