A successful first meeting of a new discussion group, the International Discussion Group, was held in the Trades Council Club in Edinburgh on the 14th of December, 1967. The Group aims at discussing mainly Internatjonal issues, at a high level, with relatively small numbers of people. Twelve people, from the University, V-S.C., and L.P.Y.S. attended the meeting, and after drawing up plans for the future of the group, 2 panel of three members was asked questions, and a lively discussion on Greece, the Labour Government,and Scottish Nationalism, ensued. Future subjects for discussion include, Black Power, Cuba, India, the Lab— our Party, and a tape recording of Ernest Mandel's speech on the Chinese Cultural Revolution. It is also planned to invite other left-wing organjsations in the city, the Y.C.L., the Workers Party of Scotland etc., to discuss their political idease Any "Week" reader in the Edinburgh area who is interested in the Group should contact the secretary:— Bob Purdie, 15 Hillcrest Avenue, Bennochy Road, Kirkcaldy.
