with UNEMD sections.  Some have worked with success, others have not.
He regreted that the contacts with the USA section have been likited.
He said that the USSR section have been very much concerned with
other students in Dar Salaam.  The number of students in Dar-es-
Salaam is 50.  They received notebooks, pencils and other school
materials from the USSR section.  The USSR section has been very much
active in advancing the mozambican revolution, particularly in that
they have been using the facilities of Radio Moscow to broadcast a
Mozambique program which Is translated in Portuguese.  Before the
end of his speech, brother Mocumbi stressed that we should be active
in advancing the Mozambique revolution, for while we are studying we
should prepare ourselves for the struggle against imperialism and
all evils of oppression.  Finally, brother Mocumbi raised the
following questions: a) how shall we introduce sufficient education
in Mozambique-? b) which language shall be used in our country after
independence^ o) whom shall x>re ask to help us? "all of us have lived
in Mozambique, therefore, we must know what to do in order to achieve
our political independence and be able to answer the vital questions
of our country".
Answering a question about the relationship of the Mozambique Institute, Prelimo and the students, brother Mocumbi said "The Mozambique Institute is an intergrate part of Prelimo.  All mozambicans
over 15 years old have to participate in the political struggle, but
those under 15 enter the Institute in order to prepare themselves
for college work. Prelimo controls the Mozambique Institute because
it is a political organization.  If any mozambican wants to be
accepted in the Mozambique Institute he should be recoginzed first
by Prelimo officers.  If one mozambican is not accented both by
Prelimo and the Institute.  UnemO-will accept any mozambican student
from any political movement".  This answer was followed by a formal
discussion on the relationship between UNEMO and the Mozambique
Institute.  Brother Antonio Boustcha intervened raising the following
questions:  If one Is not a member of Prelimo and if he is not
against Prelimo, what would Prelimo do to help him enter the
Institute? Considering that the Institute gets its funds from
beneficiary organizations regardless of politics with Prelimo continue to control the Institute?  If a student is not accepted or not
recommended by Prelimo v/hat alternatives does he have at his reach?
At this point brother Nhambiu answered that the student should try
as much as possible to cooperate with Prelimo without giving up the
Independence of students In UNEMO.  Against this position brother
Mocumbi objected raising the following questions:  At this crucial
time of our struggle of liberation what should be the priority?
UNEMOfs independence or the national interest? In his thinking, the
priority should be to make the students militants in Prelimo.
Brother Boustcha concluded saying that in spite of Prelimo!s control of the Mozambique Institute, Prelimo should not change its
policy towards the Institute as long as it allows some flexibility
in judging the case of students in cooperation with UNEMO• After
a long debate on what should be the relationship of UNEMO, PRELIMO
and the Mozambique Institute brother Albert Jentimane presented the
following as the collective opinion of the US section "Considering
that UNEMO is the only organization that unites and represents all
mozambican students, considering the duty of UNEMO to defend the
Interests of its members, considering the obligation to establish
and maintain cooperation with other national syndicates, considering
that the Mozambique Institute is designed to aid mozambicans only on
academic matters; The UNEMO section of US recomfirraing its position
of independence and non-partisarnship toward academic, matters;
recommends secondly that the national congress of ^XRffiMO establish
a criteria that will enable UNEMO officers to intervene effectively
