International 3o1idarity Fund, to be used to pay the expenses of delegates
from "colonial and dependent countries" at the Congress of the International
Union of Students in Frague in August 1950.
2. Nathan Dag, a young Norwegian Communist who attended the fifth congress of
the Union-of Communist Youth of Israel, informed the Rumanian charge d1affaires
in Tel Aviv, Paul Davidovici, at the conclusion of the congress that he was
unable to pay for his return trip. Dag was brought to Constan~a on the
"Transylvania", put up at the Hotel Athenee in Bucharest, and given first-
class rail transportation to the Rumanian frontier.
3. At the present time the ;orld Federation of Democratic Youth is not pressing
the Union of ;corking Youth to send a second delegate to Paris, apparently
because the Jorld Federation believes that it may have to move to Prague.
The Rumanian delegate to the world Federation of Democratic Youth, lance
"_oscou, left France clandestinely for Bucharest and returned to saris in the
same manner during January 1950.

5. Three years ago it was possible to buy Students of the ,orid, the publication
of the International Union of Students, in the bookstores of Bucharest. At
the present time, however, issues'of this publication are held by the Central
Committee of the Rumanian .orkers }arty which purchases a sizeable number
without any intention of permitting their circulation in the country. This
and other publications of international youth organizations are not permitted
to circulate because the }arty authorities do not consider them politically
suitable for Rumanian youth. For exa;aple, photographs of the reconstruction
of Stalingrad showing poorly dressed workers using picks which were prepared

edition of Youth of the t:orld, the organ of the .orld Federation of Democratic
Youth, but the third issue was killed by the censorship. The authorities were
then faced with the problem of handling the next issue which would contain the
statement of Dolores Ube.rruri, "'We shall have a Spanish Spain under Spaniards."

or introduce new material into the Rumanian edition of Youth of the '.orld.

days later the Hungarian Legation in Bucharest received five cases weighing
100 kilograms each and containing printing, equipment and type. This material

the cases belonged to the Rumanian Legation and they were permitted to enter
the country without inspection.
