and OF all the imaginable possibilities
for them. The Chinese workers and
young workers know too damn well
the reality and believe very little in
this "pie in the sky" propaganda.
The youth in China is an important
factor in construction of a new
China, in the struggle against old
traditions, old customs, and old be-
lieves.
An important part in all these
struggles had been played by the in
tellectual students, who took part in
various revolutionary uprizings, be it
of political, or other nature, and the
history of the Chinese youth move
ment if full of cultural and other
revolutions.
But though DR.. Isl c. Wang, who
has recently written the history of
the Chinese Youth movement, is try
ing to tell us that all the revolu-
tionary uprisings of the Chinese stu
dents were of no political nature what
soever, we can sight many examples of
the students devoted and active sup
port to the labor movement of China.
Many of US remember the students
strike, which took place in Shanghai,
and then was followed up by many
such demonstrations in various other
important centers of China, in sup
port of the striking workers. Many of
us remember the vigorous protest
of students after the Shanghai, and
Picking outrages, and even our near
sighted enemies will have to admit,
that not only did the Chinese stu
dents participate in general recon-
struction of new culture in China,
that not only did the students de-
vote much of their time in various
important provinces to educate the
Chinese workers, but also did they
play an important part in the politi-
cal uprisings and demonstrations.
It is important to mention that the
students in China, take it as their
duty, to be the leaders of the work
ers, to be the leaders of the illiterate,
to play an important part in the re-
construction of society, and to con-
tribute to the general advance of
their people as much, as they pos
sibly can.
The Russian Revolution had a great
effect upon the revolutionary move
ment of China, as well as of many
other countries. 1t was the begin
ming of a definite crystalized move
ment, which received broad support.
The Communist Party and the Com
munist League had an increase in
new members, the attitude Of Soviet
Russia towards China, which was
much different than that of any other
country, and proved to the Chinese
that the Russians are the only real
friends of China, which is not in
terested in exploiting her, but is al
ways ready to help her to get rid of
her enemies, the great powers. This
attitude of Soviet Russia had a very
good influence upon the masses of
Chinese workers. The nationalist
movement only helped to consolidate
the youth movement, and brought
more young workers into the ranks
of the Young Communist League of
China.
Today the Young Communist
League has membership of 10000,
while only year ago the member
ship of the Communist League of
China was 1000.
That only goes to prove that the
Chinese young workers are becoming
more and more class conscious, that
more and more Chinese young work
ers are beginning to realize the neces-
sity of being organized on class
basis, and fight not only foreign i'm
perialism, but also native capitalism,
that more and more Chinese young
workers are beginning to understand
that their problems are the problems
Of the entire working class, and only
by organizing themselves and wag-
ing battle to their oppressors will
they be able to achieve their aim.
When will the American young
workers begin to realize It?
