communist youth organization for its
disciplinary strictness has been more
than maintained since the third con-
gress.
Another world gathering of the re-
evolutionary youth is about to take
place at Moscow. The fourth con-
gress had been set for about the list
of July. Theoretical problems are
now fewer: but detailed matters, the
task of putting into effect the resoIu-
tions and theses of the second and
third congress will undoubtedly form
the bulk of work to be undertaken by
the fourth congress.
For a time in October of 1923 it
seemed as if the German working
class, under the leadership of the
Communist party of that country,
would settle with its bOurgeoisie for
all time. Here and there spontaneous
outbreaks occurred. The left wing Of
the party insisted that the time for
revolution was rotten ripe; the center
and right urged caution and an inten-
sifieation of the every day struggles.
During this fervid time Of working
class action, the Young Communist
League of Germany grew by leaps and
bounds. Where before one shop nue.
lei existed now twenty lead the battles
OF the working youth in the factories.
In France the league has grown; in
Denmark and Sweden the leagues, be-
sides building up their own organiza-
lions thru putting into effect the z. c.
/. decisions, have taken foremost
role in party struggles on behalf Of
the Communist international.
Everywhere the young communists
have asserted themselves as a motive
force in the class struggle and as an
important section of the Communist
International.
In the United States the youth
movement is now reality In 1922
is was but scattered sentiment for
youth organization. It had no cohe-
siveness. There were elements in the
\. w. L. who we're still for an Gin
dependent" and against afiIiation to
the open Communist movement. No
where had the youth actually carried
ON external work in the interests of
the American working youth.
During it's short existence, the Y.
w. L. has grown from membership
of about 1900 in 1922 to between
$500 and 1000 today. Where at the
third congress comrade .Abern report
ed that the league has no members
at all in the rural districts" we now
count about 10 branches in the agri-
cultural sections OF the country.
Where before the Young Worker was
magazine of limited appeal, the
Young Worker, today a newspaper.
admittedly has popular tone and has
doubled its circulation.
One thing is certain. The Y. ellis
not a loosely bound federation. It a.
a unified organization. It acts as a
single body internationally fighting
the battles of the working youth and
together with the Communist Inter-
national is paving the way for world
Communism.

The Worlds Red Youth s. 5..y e.-..

of child workers rose. For short
period there was sort of butterfly
prosperity. But the end OF that was
in sight.
The problem of the Y. G. l. at the
third congress was 10 arouse the mass
es of youth to fight in their own inter
ests for immediate demands which
would develope into revolutionary
slogans and aims.
To broaden the battles of the work
ing youth in every country, the Y. C.
l. at the Third Congress laid especial
stress on the economic and trade
union struggle OF the youth and for
INFLATED series OF concrete demands
for the campaigns to be carried on
in the individual countries. At the
third congress the two American
delegates took the position that the
same demands that were applicable
to Germany and to central Europe
would not achieve the same results in
the United States because the revolu-
tionary tempo was not identical in all
these countries. However, the resolu-
ton on the economic demands was
unanimously adopted and has served
admirably as a guide for arousing the
working youth to battle on the econ
Omic field in their own behalf.
A new world program was present
ed and reported upon by Lazar Shatz-
kin. The kernel of the program stat
ed:
The basis and the goal Of our pro-
gram is the socialist reorganization
of juvenile labor. This means the
abolition of wage slavery for all young
workers up to eighteen years OF age.
They must be cared for by the state
and treated from the point of view
of education, until they have attained
this age"
Thereby was set down a definite
outlook for revolutionary youth
organizations. The earlier socialist
leagues had a vague indefinite view of
their aims, but the Young Communist
international is precise in its object.
The socialist reorganization OF youth
labor and the education of the youth
as members of a workings class society
is demand that has yet to be clarified
in the minds of the American young
workers. But that is the task of the
Young Workers League and is an aim
that becomes more vivid as the OBJ
jective class struggle intensifies and
more and more young workers take
conscious part in it.
Since the third Congress the Y. w.
L. has become closely linked-up part
of the z. c. I. Communications and
Interchange of ideas between the two
has been facilitated. At the third con-
gress the American league was CO.
mended for the promptness with
which it made reports and acted as
disciplined section Of the Y. C. l.;
