THREE VERSIONS OF A EESCLUTPZ
The aggressive attack on Egypt and the events in Hungary Lave
given rise to various comrents and reactions among the youth of every
country and among many national and international organizaticns.
The World Federation of Democratic Youth (eFur) also reacted to
the aggression against Egypt and to the events in Hungary,
It is not our intention to appraise the attitude of the Federa-
tion towards these events. We also agree with the WEN that, "There
are differences between youth and the youth oranizaticns in appraising
the causes and cLaracter of the Hungarian events ... and therefore it
is logical that the WIDY must have its own version. But an interesting
fact here is that the WFDY appears to have several versions to these
events. So far we have had the opportunity to acquaint ourselves with
three official versions, with the three versions of one same resolution
issued on December 1, 1956, by the Secretariat.
We read the first version of the WEDY Secretariat's resolution of
December 1 in the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" of December 6, and it was
transmitted from Budapest by TASS. Somewhat later, in the December
issue of the "Information Bulletin" of the WFDY (No. 11)0 we again
came across the Secretariat's resolution of the same date. It, how-
ever, did not coincide with the resolution published in "Komsomolskaya
Pravda". In the January issue of the WFDY review "World 'Youth" we
were acquainted with the third text of the resolution of December 1,
which is not identical with the first two.
The first part of the resolution, which speaks of Egypt, in the
rain contains differences in style, but also such that in several
places the weaker formulations in the "Information Bulletin" have been
replaced in "World Youth" by sharper ones.
There are greater substantial departures in the part of the reo
olution speaking of Magary, The first passage is the same in all
three versions except for some stylistic changes, The.changes occur
in the second passage.
Here is the first text, from the Information Bulletin":
"The fraternal solidarity of our Federation and of the youth of
all countries turns towards the hard hit,Hangarian youth. The WFDY,
bowing deeply moved before the victims, supports the vital work of
peaceful reconstruction which the Hungarilan youth have already begun.
The Hungarian youth realise that the restoration of their country
depends first and foremost an the laborious efforts of its people and
that in these efforts the place of youth is in the front ranks,"
