Canadian youth will study its world and its future when 500 delegates, representing 500,000 youths, meet here tomorrow for the fourth annual Canadian Youth Congress.
The meeting represents a League of Nations in miniature, for most religious groups, all classes and dozens of racial groups will be included in the four-day sessions.
In a preliminary greeting to the Congress Lord Tweedsmuir, Canada's Governor-General, said never before had the youth of the world been faced with such grave problems, but he was convinced Canadian youths had the measure of courage, forti-inde and the spirit of adventure necessary to meet such problems.
"I warmly commend your undertaking and send you my most sincere greetings," he added.
The only major group not affiliated with the Congress is the Catholic Youth Union. This group withdrew just before the 1938 meeting because the Young Communist League was an affiliated body.
The Congress will divide into five groups to consider youth in agriculture, citizenship, Canadian unity and the Canadian peace policy—Reuter.
