"Material Relief of Total Needs"

1. Desire of ISS to undertake conference seminars, study tours, etc. as well as material relief. Funds for financing these projects come from the same source as do funds for relief as Dr. Wolantls, General Secretary of ISS, explained. "It had quite naturally proved more difficult to finance the cultural aspect of the programme because WSR, in Its appeal for funds for material relief tended to draw upon the source of funds for educational relief which had traditionally supported the ISS." (Minutes of WSR Executive, October, 1949). ISS maintained that the Emergency need for concrete relief in the form of food, clothnig, medicines, books and equipment was gone. The Total Needs' of the Students should now be catered for. IUS denied this, claimed that material need was still most urgent,'should be continued in WSR and that any other activities as proposed by ISS should be carried out by them separately in a separate organisation.
