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 II. 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-
knecht 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
1 it 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 a peaceful
growth into "the state of the future.
We had, however, no correct idea of
what 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

Liebknecht Pioneers.
Already in the year 1904 at the
Bremen Party Conference of the
German Social Democrats, j. e. be-
fore the Russian Revolution, Karl
Liebknecht had drawn attention to the
absolute necessity of the struggle
against militarism. This marked the
starting point of his activity on
these lines. From the outbreak Of
the Russian Revolution, he devoted
especial interest to the proletarian
youth. Youth organizations became
his speciality. He was in closest
contact with the North-German pro-
letarian youth organizations which
were founded in 1904-05, he took
part in the foundation of the League
Of Young German Workers in Sep
TENDER 1906 in Mannheim. On this
occasion Iiebknecht raised the point
of converting an international youth
centre which was entrusted with the
preparation of the international con-
ference. In the spring of 1907, he
published his book on 'Militarism
and Anti Militarism' in which as a
real revolutionary Social Democrat
he starts from the dogma: the ques-
ton of Social Democracy is a military
question In this book we find the
first estimation of the international
youth movement. At the foundation
Conference of the Youth International
LiebSnecht was the central figure.
His speech on anti-militarism lasted
four hours. 1t had to be divided in
to two sections. The protocol which
is still available is not a stenographic
report, but is compilation based on
journalistic notes. 1t contains only
skeleton of Liebknecht's speech,
and even as such is incomplete. The
conference was a closed one The
authorities were not present. The
report which was intended for the
public had to be compiled in a care
full manner, for already the first in
dictment of Liebknecht for high
treason had begun. He spoke in
great detail about the Russian ex-
periences and their application to
conditions in our country which is
not mentioned in the report. Today
it is absolutely impossible to remem-

Der all the details of his speech. A
notable expression which has not been
reported l still recall. When Lieb-
knecht finished his dissertation on
our Russian comrades the conference
vociferously and he ex-
claimed: l am very proud that have
so many Russian friends!
For Struggle First.
Comrade Roland Hoist, who at that
time was very prominent as leader
of the general strike in Central
Europe Cher book on the general
strike was published in 1904, in her
speech on the question of proletarian
education presented the most adj
vanced point of view which we had
heard at that time. The conference
almost unanimously agreed with her
theses. The Swiss delegate, a free
thinking young teacher, demanded
that the natural creation history and
the struggle with religion should be
given first place in the educational
programme. The writer of this ar
ticle protested on this issue. The
protocol reports that "Comrade AL
pari opposed him pointing out that
the basis of socialist education must
be social science" But l also OPP
posed Comrade Roland Hoist on one
point. She maintained that the first
task of independent youth organiza-
tions ought to be the spread of knowl-
edge. I said struggle must take the
first place. According to the proto-
col I am reported to have said: "Be-
fore We proceed with the realization
of the educational programme, there
must exist a minimum of free time
and Of protection of young workers
against exploitation. The premise
for everything else is the struggle
of the working youth for the i'm
provement of their economic posi-
ton"
The report on the economic strug-
gle of the youth was to have been
presented by Robert Danneberg from
Vienna. A few weeks before the
conference he notified his inability to
attend, and the international centre,
on the suggestion of Liebknecht, asked
me to deal with this resolution. |

be permitted to protst against the
reformist conception of Danneberg.

New RefinGriGS for
Soviet Union Oil
Industry Under Way

With planned output of 11,774,-
300 metric tons-28 per cent above
pre-wal--for the coming fiscal year
beginning October /, the Soviet Union
oil industry is preparing for substan-
tial additions to its refining facilities
for both the Baku and Grozny fields,
according to the Soviet Union Infor-
nation Bureau.
The new refinery being completed
at Baku with an annual capacity of
$4,000 metric tons, is expected to be
ready this month. A new kerosene
refinery, also of $4,000 tons, will be
built at Batum, the port end Of the
Baku-Batum pipe line, during 1927
.28. Total capacity of the refining
plants attached to the Baku fields will
reach 6,640,00O tons by the end of
next year. A new cracking plant and
pitch-working plant are also in one
struction.
Two new refineries of capacities of
100000 metric tons and 100000 metric
tons, respectively, will be erected at
GroZny during the coming fiscal year,
bringing the aggregate capacity of
the refineries in the Grozny fields to
3,115,0O0 metric tons. In addition, a
new refinery of 100000 metric tons

Think Family Kille d
Member to Reform Him


FALL RIVER, Mass. Sept. 49,
Today, on the heels of the arrest Of
Napoleon Pelletier, 80, 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

Unions, Everywhere.
Every worker in Soviet Russia
knows what is going on in his union,
said the speaker. Even small children

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- tremendous
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

the socialists were treated a little

The Nation does not look for the

IF FRANCE countenanees the pre-
