d) The National Treasurer requested that Regions supply quart­erly income/expenditure statements as well as yearly audits.- .

The Western Cape reported that the Regional audit would be started immediately. The W Cape supported the recommendation for proper books and a voucher system.

The Eastern Cape reported that an auditor had been approved by the R.E.C, and that the books had been handed over in December, 1984.

The Transvaal reported that a Finance Committee had been est­ablished in October 1984 and a cash book had been opened. The audit would take some time because of insufficient records prior to October 1984. There were no treasurers operating in the Transvaal at the moment.

The National Treasurer urged that acting-treasurers be appoint­ed immediately.

Border reported that an income/expenditure statement had been submitted to the auditors. The region.did not foresee any pro- blen with the audit.

Natal reported that the journal, cash book and ledger were up to date and that the audit would be ready within one week.

All Regions agreed that no further allocations would be »ade until audits were submitted. As a temporary measure, the larger regions would be grated R4 000 and the smaller regions R2 000. Future allocations would be determined by existing formulas. Additional projects within each region could be Motivated for.

Western Cape. It was agreed that the request from the W Cape .for assistance in payment of debts would be treated sympathetic-

°?al Executlve Committee had grated the W Cape a R16 000 allocation in March 1984 for the usual campaigns, which however had never been paid due to lack of funds at that particular time.

The Western Cape said that this could be done only if high-cost items such as media and national executive travel be met by.the national treasury. It was agreed that all regions would have to be more realistic when planning campaigns and not assume

funds would always be available from the national treasury*

Dear Comrades

As you know the state has finally refused bail to our eight (8) comrades standing trial on charges of treason. This means that * they will remain in jail for as long as their trial is in process.

Now, we of the UDF have been contending that the Apartheid regime is illegitimate and so is its pernicious system of detention and. charges under its security legislation.-. It seems therefore that the opportunity has arisen for us to challenge the state to re­lease our comrades.

The matter has been discussed with the comrades concerned. The view is that a.campaign for their release must be launched and that this be linked with other matters. They have mandated the N.E.C to do all in its powers to launch and intensify the campaign.

We would like to appeal to all Secretaries to set in motion, as a matter of urgency a discussion on this matter, first at the level

and then that of regional General Councils. The N.E.C will also discuss the matter. But finally our campaign must be the synthesis of the recommendations of the regions.

tion^3^ aPPreciate it if this matter will receive your urgent attent-

On January 12 and 13v 1985 a number of Youth organisations, affiliates and non-affiliates of the UDF met in Durban to discuss the I.Y.Y and

the two ^ 1 Natl0na1 Youth organisations and plansto launch

The National Office discussed the report (verbal) of the said meeting the w-orchnators of both the N.Y.O and the I.Y.Y. viz Dan Mon-

i ”athe- After this discussion the National Officewas left with the impression that firstly there was no strong motiva-

w!?y the camPai*9n should not be conducted under the banner of the UDF. Secondly that there was no clarity as to how they proposed to prepare for the campaign between then and the formation of the N.Y.O. inirdly that meeting did not seem to recognize the urgency of the I.Y.Y.o that extent did not give a deadline for co-ordinating structures to

be set up and the unrolling of the I.Y.Y. programme.

It is the view of the National Office that the decision taken is inco­rrect abd may affect the effectiveness of the campaign. The UDF has already won a great amount of legitimacy both nationally and internation­ally. Many people and organisations on these planes will support anything hat is associated with the Front. To give the I.Y.Y. campaign publicity

and to win even greater support for it we need to encourage our affiliate to conduct it under the banner of the UDF. This will also provide a measure of protection from state harassment to activists for they will be projected as UDF activists in the event.of detention and arrest. And the state does not want negative publicity at this stage. They may therefore avoid unnecessary arrests.

But important is the fact that we have already started building the UDF as a vehicle to advance our struggle. The youth organisations in their campaigns, especially the I.Y.Y must be seen to be part of this broad movement. The I.Y.Y provides the scenario.

affiliates locally and abroad. There must therefore be a.close co- UDFrh^?nnfl "d.cyon discipline to our approach to issues. Now thechanrp nf9J e ’n^ exPe»;ience during the past campaigns stands a better

We are not suggesting that the UDF will lead the campaign itself but1 simply saying that the youth must do so using the UDF name and guided

by it. This suggestion does not conflict with the objective of strena-

We would like to appeal to the R.E.C and R.G.C's to discuss this matter urgently with a view to persuading the youth affiliates to change the position taken in Natal as stated above.

Please forward your response to the H/Q, as soon as possible.
