organizations Is the 1OunS Java
with a membership of over 5000, it
publishes a monthly journal. At the
beginning this organization had a
political character, but owing to the
intensive repressive measures Of the
colonists some of its members have
abandoned the political struggle and
rive up their time exclusively to sport,
There is now a process of political
revival in progress in that organiza-
ton and it is coming over to the re-
evolutionary movement. There is a
series of various other organizations
existing legally or semi-legally, which
have been partly affected by the re-
cent breakup after the defeat Of the
uprising. They are the constituent
elements of the foundation of the
Y.C.L. in Indonesia.
Mongolia. In this enormous pas
toral country with territory greater
than any European State, the Y.C.L,
has the only Communist but ma
tionalist revolutionary youth organi-
cation in its ranks. The League was
organized in 1920 to fight against the
Chinese militarist occupation forces,
the Russian White Guards, for free
existence and against feudal depend
ency. The League has over 1000
members. 1t works legally under
growing nationalist government; is
bringing over the broad toiling mas
ses to the banner Of the nationalist re-
volutionary movement and takes the
most active part in the government
and in the social and democratic trans
formation of the country. Ninety per
cent of it's members are Nomads. The
struggle of the League against the
feudal theocratic elements and sur
vivals, the propaganda for the spread
ing Of knowledge and mastery of Eu-
ropean culture and technique makes
it one of the progressive factors in So
cial and economic development of
Mongolia.
Persia. The Young Communist
League of Persia which existed at the
time of the Gillian Revolution was dis
solved after the defeat. At the pres
ent time there are several Vel or
CARNATIONS scattered throughout the
various districts of Persia. The in
tensification and consolidation of the
nationalist revolutionary forces pro-
vide a strong incentive for the young
/ Communist organizations to unite into
one organization and to strengthen
the national revolutionary movement
of the broad masses of the artisan
and peasant youth.
/ Turkey. The Young Communist
League of Turkey was organized in
1921 during the period of the ma
tionalist revolutionary struggle. II
had in it's ranks the most progressive
and radical students. The transfer

use of repressive measures by the gov

the vel, but did not destroy it. AT
the present time the Organization has
over 200 members.
