BY JULIUS ALPARI.

1t has been repeatedly said that
the birth of the Youth International
in the year 1907 did not take place
under the zodiac of reformism which
at that time impregnated the H. In
ternational. 1t began its existence as
a revolutionary organization out Of
which of necessity the Communist
Youth international had to develop.
This is perfectly correct. The man
ner of its origin as shown by the
protocol of the inaugural conference
is full proof of this. Karl Lieb-
lmecht was the central figure at the
OrganizatiOnal conference. 1t is no
mere chance that the other speakers
on the chief point on the agenda
Comrade H. Roland Hoist and the
writer of this article, should have
logically proceeded from the thinner
valid Conference to the Communist
International
Comparatively speaking, Socialist
Youth organizations developed late.
To recognize their Importance, to
unite them, to give them a revolu-
tionary programme of action, for that
1t was necessary to begin a new
period in the history of revolutionary
development; the Russian revolution
in the year 1905. Also up to that
time we fought against the reform
lists who romanced about peaceful
growth into "the state of the future.
We had, however, no correct idea of
what a real revolutionary struggle
meant. The Russian Revolution of
1905 taught US to recognize the gen
eral strike and the armed rising as
the most important means of strug-
gle in the proletarian revolution.
Those among us who were seriously
engaged with the question of the
conquest of political power suddenly
began to see daylight. The magic
method" had been discovered In
stead Of waiting or avoiding the
struggle in the hope that through
"the revolutionizing Of the leaders"
victory would be ours, we were faced
by mass actions and especially the
winning over of the youth. This
was to be brought about not by paci-
fist slogans based on non-Marxist So
called idealist conceptions, but by
the economic struggle for the i'm
provement of the position of the

Bessarabian Workers
DepOrted as Paris Cops

MOSCOW, U.S.S.R., Sept. 10
Four Bessarabians have arrived
here who were deEorted Sept. II,
from Paris where they were work
ing in a union of emigrant Bes-
sarabians existing legally thruout
France. Two of them were at the
head of this union. All the de-
ported men are workers.
These Paris comrades explain
that their deportation is in connec-
ton with the general growth of
reaction in France and the perse-
cution Of the Bessarabian move
ment started after the meeting in
August of the Roumanian minister
of foreign affairs, Titulesku, with
members Of the French govern
ment in Paris.

Think Family Killed
Member to Reform Him

FALL RIVER, Mass. Sept. 80
Today, on the heels of the arrest Of
Napoleon Pelletier, 32, on a charge
of having slain his brother Ernest,
40, came the statement from police
headquarters that others have knowl-
edge of the murder and may be ar
rested.
Two theories were advanced by po-
lice today-one that Ernest, who, they
said, had been a heavy drinker was
slain because he refused to conduct
himself in accordance to family
wishes; or that he carried heavy in
surance and that the insurance money
was sought.

Schools Red Army.
Soviet Russia is strong for schools,
public and private, the speaker said.
The Red Army is also an educational
institution, not least for young men
from the farms. 1t is different from
all other armies in the world; ragged
at first, well dressed now; and intelli-
gent, more so than in any other coun-
try. Same food for officers and
rank and file soldiers. If an officer
speaks i'll of a soldier he loses his
job. Discipline extra good just the
same.

care there any beggars in Soviet
Russia ?" a worker wanted to know.
YES" was the answer "There are
riffraff Of a past day, a certain ele-
ment is selling itself rather than go
to work"
Unions, Everywhere.
Every worker in Soviet Russia
knows what is going on in his union,
said the speaker. Even small children
are organized. Workers are not
forced to join their unions-but one
can't drive them out from their unions
with clubs. Among skilled workers
there is almost no unemployment in
Russia. Mechanics get along better
in the Soviet Union than in the Uni
ted States, Woomer declared. Money
was not taken from the national
treasury and sent to the English
strikers. Workers met in every hall
and gave up some of their savings
as soon as the General Strike was
declared in England. At private
works the boss is told to put his men
into the union. The foreigners have
the same right to hold jobs as the
natives. Electrification-tre
progress, except for the purpose of
burning innocent workers to death.
Unions in that country will not stand
for that. Unions and the co-opera-
tives work hand in hand with the
government for the welfare of the
workers.
Speaking of the treatment of So
cialists, Woomer said:
''The Bolsheviks did not like to eat
straw. AS the socialists fought the
workers efforts TO get food from the
rich kulaks, that is the reason why
the socialists were treated little
different from other people.
Religion Dying Out.
Priests are putting holy water on
the ground to increase the crop-but
the bugs come just the same. The
farmers are learning to use other
means to keep the bugs away So re-
ligious questions are falling to pieces
of themselves in Soviet Russia-The
First Workers Republic.
Message to American Workers.
AS Comrade Woomer left the us.
S.R., he was asked by the proletariat
of that country to bring to the Amer
lean workers the following message:
Tell the truth about Soviet Russia |!
We will not meet the workers of
America with bullets. We will meet
them with our band"'

sence of anti-Fascists who are car
rying on propaganda against -Musso-

bors Czarist white guardsts who are

two dangerous copperheads. These
are probably the most poisonous OF
local snakes, and now rarely are met
with near the Capital.
The children told DR.. Mann that
they had captured the two reptiles
near the boys home in Silver Spring.
Curiously enough they understood the
dangerous proclivities of the serpents
and appear to have captured them
with all the skill Of old collectors. The
little boy had placed a forked stick
over the head while the little girl
grabbed the snake by the neck SO
skillfully that it could not bite.

STAGE BEING SET
FOR ARBORETUM
Early Appropriation Expected

Department Plans.

Washington is destined to become
the horticultural center of the Nation
under plans for establishing and de-
veloping the National Arboretum on

In the northeast section Of the city.
bordering the Eastern Branch. Pur-
chase of between 800 and 400 acres of
land east of Bladensburg road as a
site for the arboretum was authorized
at the last session of Congress, al
though the money to buy the property
and begin development was lost when
the second deficiency bill failed to pass.
Plans now maturing at the Depart
ment of Agriculture are bringing into
being the broad scheme for the arbore-
tum. a. national shrine for trees and
flowers that will make Washington the
horticultural center of the Nation. Inc
work of developing plans Is raploly
going forward under the direction OF
an advisory council recently appointed
by Secretary Jardine.
Congress of Trees.
Under plans already worked out, the
arboretum will have within its con-
fines a national congress of trees of
every variety that will flourish in
this climate, brought from every State
in the Union as an example OF the
characteristic tree growth OF each
State. The collection of trees and
shrubs will make the arboretum the
most truly representative spot in the
United States of native vegetation--a
true cross-section of the flora of the
United States. While much OF the
land dedicated to arboretum'use VIII
have to be purchased, some of 1t now
belongs to the United States, and plans
are on foot to reclaim about 400 acres
of marsh land lying along the Ana
costa River to bring this area into
the arboretum.
Given over primarily to forestry
and horticulture, the arboretum will
include shrubs, trees and perennials
from every corner of the United
States and the wild relatives Of these
plants--a living chronology Of the
plant and tree life of the North Ameri-
can continent. 1t will be in every
sense of the word vast experimental
station where research work under
the most favorable circumstances can
be carried out by the large group Of
botanists in Washington and others
who will come here to take advantage
Of the unusual opportunities for study
to be made available at the arboretum.

out is one of breeding forest trees to
aid in perpetuation of the forests OF

acres Of this huge tract remain intact

estate has passed into the hands OF
