A Glimpse of the Youth Movement
in Soviet Russia

Would the workers succeed in saving the lives OF
Sacco and vanzetti? Do the unions still prevent col
ored workers from joining? What was being done
to protect the interests of young workers?
At the end of the meeting resolution passed
conveying the greetings of those assembled to the
workers of America and expressing confidence that
the American movement would succeed in breaking
the capitalist shackles and building up workers
and farmers government in America e 8Hl
Through my work with the Moscow Health De-

Young Communists and Pioneers. Children born
since the October revolution are known October
lists. They organized and participate in parades
under their own banners. Their ages are from five
to eight and are under the guidance of the Pho
neers
From ages Of eight to fifteen the children belong
to the Pioneers. Though it is not compulsory to
belong, most children are eager to join its ranks.
Branches of the Pioneers are in every school. Be-
sides their regular school work the Pioneers them
selves conduct classes in economics. The school
period is about seven years. the end of which time
they have completed the prescribed in
Monies and eligible to join the Young
Communists. The Pioneers also conduct
camps and participate in all kinds of outdoor and
athletic activities They have their newspapers

The young Communist League is responsible for
the welfare of the Pioneers
Not all the Pioneers become members OF the
Young Communist League. Membership In the
Young Communist League means obligations that
all are not ready to undertake. Pioneers join d.

period of six months probation and Office and pro-

activities Of the women workers Of America. At
the end of my address many questions were asked

workers divided.
I told them that the Young Workers League of
America was playing a significant part in the task

Chamberlain. the British foreign sec
rotary, with regard to increasing the
membership of the council OF the
League of Nations after Germany is

poses when the league council meets

may have committed himself to the
French view on the admission of Po-
