in June 1920 the Y. Y. l., tneir de-
velopment increasing tremendously
after the Revolution in March 1921.
The organization in Persia now
numbers 10 sections with 5000 memb-
ers. It carries on an energetic eco
nomic struggle and has brought quite
number of strikes to successful
end.
After Turkestan had been won for
the Soviet Republic, the Young Com
munist Movement in that country
grow tremendously, the organization
there counting today 10000 members
amongst whom are many believers in
Mohamed and also quite number of
girls. The organization has also done
great services for the Red Army.
The organizations in Chiva and
Buchara has also developed a brisk
activity.
The Youths Movement in Siberia
has been independent till the country
was liberated of Koltchak, since which
time it is part of the All-Russian
lY. c. /. Now it is taking form and
developing.
KOREA AND CHINA.
In Korea and China the youth is
but beginning to move, there being
however in both countries illegal
groups, and in Korea also an illegal
official publication. Considering the
character Of these countries, it is but
natural that the intellectual youth
should take leading part in the
movement. They work in close con-
tact with the All-Russian Y. c. I. and
with the Undersecretariate for the
Eastern Peoples, Of the Y. c. l.
THE BALTIC STATES.
In the Baltic states which are being
dominated over by the White Terror,
the Communist Youth is forced to
work illegally. But no matter how
great the sacrifices, they will not put
stop to the intensive work OF our
comrades here.
i FINNLAND.
| The powerful and well organized
League,l having at it's disposal a
number of papers and carrying on an
extensive publishing activity, has in
1920 Joined the Y. c. I. In spite OF
| the fact that the working youth had
to suffer heavily in the course Of the
Revolution in that country, the memb-
ership of the organization is steadily
increasing. The League which still is
being subjected to a pernicious per-
secution by the government, is one
!, Of the best1sections Of the Y. c. ].
gSsiSCANDINAyIA.
The Swedish League is one Of the
Oldest, and like the other northern
; sections, we'll organized. Like the
n Norwegian League, it carries on an in-
t tensive publishing activity and en-
, ploys in its propaganda only the
r most up to date methods. The Red
Week of Propaganda instituted by IL
| has become famous, while it's educa-
!, tional activity represents very high
r standard. The revolutionising Of the
Swedish party and its joining the III
: international as well, is to high
o degree the fruit of the work of the
s Swedish Y. C. L.
II Most of what has been said Of the
$ organization in Sweden, can be re-
peated of the Norwegian section Of
= the Y. C. L. Thanks to it's efforts have
! the trade-unions become revolutionis-
\ ed, and the party accepted the 81
!, theses laid down by the II. Congress
of Moscow.

After lengthy internal discussions
with the centrists, the Danish League
. has recently resolved upon affiliation

= Since 1910 the three Scandinavian
Leagues have joined closely in an In
:, er-Scandinavian Federation.
