French Wickedness.

DARIS is the place to study music.
Paris is the place to study art.

Paris Is the place to study life.
But is an American girl safe in
Paris?
The question was asked Lois Moran.
This is what she replied:

Paris, of the gayety, of the tempta-
tions, of the strange conditions that

in various French subjects at French
schools, and also with a private tutor

Getting Ready to Cool OF.

INTERIOR construction work al
ready has been commenced at
Loew's Palace Theater on a new and
elaborate refrigeration system which.
when fully installed by June /, is ex-
pected to make LoeW's Palace the
coolest theater south of New York and
equally as cool as the mammoth Capt.
tol Theater there, which IS famous
for its comfortable Summer tempera-
ture.
Although nearly two months will be
required to install the new Palace
cooling plant. it will be fully complete
by the time hot weather arrives.
Some idea Of it's effectiveness can
be gained from the terms of the con-
tract between the contractor and the
theater management, which stipulates
and guarantees that the interior tenn
perature must constantly bear Axed
relation to the outside temperature.
For example, the theater must be not
more than IS degrees, with a relative
humidity OF not more than 81 per cent.
when the outside temperature is 80
degrees.

Lenin devoted his very greatest
care and attention to the liquidation
of the theoretical mistakes and I'M
clarifies that naturally characterized
the first attempts of the proletarian
youth in their role as indicators Of
true Marxism and Internationalism.
And the remarkable tact and consider
alton with which the errors of the
youth were criticized by this man,
known the world over as the most
bitter" and most uncompromising
controversialist, proves the signifi-
canoe Lenin saw in the movement of
the proletarian youth.
Lenin and the Russian Youth League.
The profound rermenr produced by
the Russian revolution in 1917 crystal
lized all over Russian revolutionary
circles of proletarian and student
youth. Lenin was quick to see the
significance of this movement and
lent it his best support. It was he
also who was most influential in de-
veloping this movement and finally
in organizing it as a Young Commun-
list League, an orsanizationalIy indie
pendent but politically subordinate or
ganization and not, as some. comrades
wished to make it, simply a depart
ment of the Communist Party. Indeed,
Lenin had always maintained most
vigorously the position of the organ

since, as he proved, only on such a
basis can the youth movement develop
in the proper direction and attain it's

LENIN AND THE YOUTH

pies Of the colonies thru the most
merciless exploitation is used, in a
great variety of ways, to corrupt a
section of the working class of the
home country and to raise that section
to the position of an "aristocracy of
labor" Insofar, therefore, as this
skilled labor aristocracy" profits
from the few crumbs falling off the
imperialist table, there tend to devel-
op certain economic ties binding
them to the imperialist bourgeoisie
and giving them a certain interest in
the maintenance Of Imperialism.
What can be the political reflex of
this situation? What but a growing
opportunism, cancerous reformism
that began to penetrate and spread
turnout the whole of the labor move
ment. And the social-democratic par
ty and the trade union bureaucracy
representatives of the labor aristo-
cracy-began to reflect more and more
clearly, in a hidden or open manner,
the devastating corruption which i'm
perialism was producing in the upper
strata of the proletariat.
The Youth Remains Revolutionary.
The youth, however, was largely un-
touched by this cancerous corruption
of opportunism. The youthful prole-
tariat has no skilled aristocracy feed
ing on the crumbs from the imperialist
feast. The laboring youth is almost
exclusively unskilled and subject to
the severest exploitation and oppres-
sion. Upon the youth, likewise, falls
the full weight of the crushing mill
tarism that characterizes the imperial
ist nation. 1t is the youth that forms
the conscript armies sent to slaughter
for the greater glory of finance-capital
1t is the laboring youth in short that
finds its lot the hardest of any section
of the laboring masses.
In the youth therefore, untouched
by imperialist corruption, as Lenin
showed, opportunism can find no

illusion can find no welcome. The
youth has no long-standing opportun-
list traditions. The fiery enthusiasm
of the toiling youth can not be

The Economic Sources of

The revolutionary spirit and the in
domitable enthusiasm of the youth
Lenin saw as the direct consequence
of the effects of Imperialism upon the
working class, as the diverse of the
opportunist rottenness and reformism
that characterized the dominant so
cial-democracy. Lenin analysed very
thoroly what Marx and Engels had
suggested more than once-the in
fiuence of the development of i'm
perialism upon the various tendencies
in the working class movement. He
showed how certain portion of the
