WHAT, THEN, DOES COMMUNIST
ACTION MEAN?
Article No. z

We Communists assert that the
child must be enrolled as fighter
in the struggle of its class and must
share the fate of its class. The petty
bourgeois refor1nist pedagogues, the
humanitarian Utopians, and the
social reformers are shocked almost
to the fainting point by this, or else
they are outraged by the idea. Dogs
may bark at a train, but the train
goes on just the same. We have the
more important consideration that
we must ourselves understand our
aim and purpose. The inclusion of
the working class child in the strug-
gle of it's class is our aim and goal,
To attain this aim we do not require
academic theses or rules of conduct,
such as in England Thomas Ander-
son issues to his working class
schools in Glasgow. The class in
stinct is the first connecting link
between young and adult workers
and we must first find this connecting
link. Once found, all the other char
acteristic feature of the childish SOU
and mind will evidence themselves
will be easy to understand if we ap-
proach the children as friends and
comrades. No books can give US
such live facts as the children them.
selves supply. Only from these
original sources does the Junior
Group Leader learn what he needs to
know and what he must do in his
work-and this only after he hai
eliminated all the reverential respect
Of the children and become Their
friend and equal. Blind respect fol
the adults is one of the first things
which we remove in Communist
education.
There will be another storm Of
Indignation over this. "The Commun
lists want to destroy the home swee

rents and children" AS If any such
thing as a real home existed in the
working classl The family as "hom,
sweet home" was long ago abolished

Junior Section to Line Up Parents
The peddlers of nationalist and re-
ligious dope, the Public Schools of
America, have long ago recognized
the necessity of soliciting the support
Of the parents in the education of
the young. For this purpose Parent
Teacher associations are organized in
about 40 states.
The Junior Section of the Young
Workers League recognizes the neces-
sity Of gaining the support Of the
working class parents for the Junior
Section. Hence the children Of the
Junior Section are now organizing
parents conferences. These par
ent's conference will discuss the
life and work of the children in the
Junior Groups. At each meeting Of
the parents the children will arrange
revolutionary entertainments with
small playlets, etc. Many parents do
not fully understand the role Of the
Junior comrades in the struggle with
in the Public Schools. These con-
ferences will be the means Of clari-
flying the parents as to this important
role. Working class parentsl Line

Youth VieDs

By HARRY CANNES

Exploitation of the working class
Is not merely mechanical process.
Tho the workers are treated as ma
chimes on the books of the capitalists,
the bosses do recognize that their
ally, the Lord, has supposedly en-
dowed the toilers with brains.
The facts of life make these brains
feel bitterly toward the exploiters;
and were they to be left to natural
and logical development there would
be little need for intensified agita-
ton on our part. Experience has
taught the benefciaries of this sys-
tenn that mental poison is a neces-
sary anti-dote to revolutionary
thought.
The young workers, flung precipi-
tously into production, come up most
sharply against the realities of ex-
ploitation and slavery. They feel it
most keenly. Their minds are young
and supple and their energy is not
yet exhausted. The youth crave en-
joyment and sports.
When the Chicago Y. M. C. A.
informs us that $1,108,307 was raised
in one year for the expansion of its
work, and that it already values its
worldly possession in the sum If
100000 lin this city alone) we
know that the bosses are not SO
foolish as we sometimes picture
them, and can take advantage of a
cheap method Of reaching the youth
as a preventative of discomfort. They
pay the bill.
What harm is there in the Y. M
c. A.? is a serious question that
union men often ask. In New York
for instance, the union railroad
workers will tell you that there is q
magnificent hotel built for them by
this organization. 1t affords them
cheap rooms and meals. Well, moi
all doctors use the crude method OF
Mussolini in administering castor oil
America is famous for its sugar
coated opiates.
But we can still remember that
the British and American Y. M. G
A. co-operated in furnishing scabs
for eastern railroad companies dur
ing the shopmen's strike. Ask the
local in st. Lawrence, Mass, about
it.

Lenin, says the capitalist press, was fanatic
and a terrorist who did not let lives or any
thing else stand in the way of victory.
Yet more than a million workingmen and
women in Moscow stood in the bitter cold for
hours to do homage to his memory. They
knew him and loved him and somehow this
silent throng of workers makes the well-fed
press agents of the system Lenin fought seem
small and petty.
