Request for a Resident Counselor in Europe
RESOLUTION 29, COMMITTEE 2

Memorial 406, page 368, Reports and Memorials

Wuereas, The problem concerning a resident counselor for
Europe was to be studied by the Board for European Affairs, ac-
cording to a resolution adopted by the St. Paul convention; and

Wuereas, The Board for European Affairs has reconsidered the
matter after a recent survey conducted by Dr. H. E. Mayer and
Prof. Martin Naumann and recommends that the appointment of
a full-time counselor be held in abeyance for the time being; and

Wuereas, There is immediate need for supervisory and coun-
seling aid in certain areas of Europe; and

Wuereas, It appears that this aid can be supplied on a part-
time basis with a qualified man from England or from the European
continent; therefore be it

Resolved, That the Board for European Affairs be empowered
to make such part-time arrangement as deemed necessary during
the next triennium.

Action: This resolution was adopted.
