 == World Assembly of Youth == 

 Hi, I would like to request that a section on WAY be added. The setup and financing of World Assembly of Youth in the late 1940s was an ""anti-Communist"" operation by MI6. Management & financing of it later passed to the CIA in the USA, but I think MI6 kept a hand in. 

 It would be interesting to find the names of the first students recruited by MI6 to set up WAY and staff it; and the names of MI6 people who vetted and recruited the students.  

 It would be interesting to know if any of the Soviet spies, Philby, Burgess, etc., crossed paths with the WAY operation, as in years that followed, some Catholics alleged that WAY was a Communist front.  

 Reading here about all the Soviet penetration of MI6 near the period when WAY was set up, I wonder if WAY might have become Soviet-influenced or infiltrated.  "
