The World Union of Jewish Students was one of the eight student organizations participating in the International Students’ Organizations Conference held here in order to discuss a common and united action in favor of disarmament.
The conference was convened by the International Students Service and was prompted by a desire to unite all the positive forces in the student world in a joint effort to support the work of the forthcoming disarmament conference. A representative of the Secretariat of the League of Nations was present during the conference, which represented 1,500,000 students throughout the world.
The conference resolved to organize in every university throughout the world active assistance for the forthcoming Disarmament Conference which will be held in February. “The International Organizations of Students,” the resolution of the Conference says, “representing the university of youth of the world of all races, religious and political opinion, are sincerely attached to the maintenance of a peace bought so dearly by their elders and are convinced that the fate of their generation depends upon the results of the work of the Disarmament Conference which will open in February, 1932.”
