turn from his quizzical gaze. when old men and
old women scuttled out of his pathway. when
the merchants glarcd in hostility at him. when
young men exhibited their tempers and jealousy.
when mature housewife Elshed guilty if he

Opponents of Fascist
Deprived of Suffrage

ROME, Feb. 81 The parlia-
mentary reform bill, restricting cleo
tons to one ticket and suffrage to
members of Fascist guilds, was in
dOrsed today by the Fascist Grand
Council, with Premier Mussolini pre-
siding.
The substance of the bill was ap-
proved last fall by the council, but
it was then thought to be only
temporary measure.
The measure is a radical step
toward the complete obliteration Of
all opposition to Fascism, since there
will be only the Fascist ticket, only
members OF industrial guilds can
vote, and only faithful Fascists can
be members Of the guilds.

the same mistake was repeated two
years later, in 1926, in the election
platform of the Party, though in
not such bad form.
Two election platforms Of the
Party contained policy towards
the naturalization and workers con-
troll which was here characterized
by Comrade Bukharin as step to-
wards a social-democratic line. And
yet, such a deviation, such a grave
error, was never mentioned, never
criticized, never noticed, never cor

signed the lengthy document called
the Fright danger in the American
Party" and who claim to have the
monopoly of feminist policy in the
American Party.

International Youth Day Must Serve to Tear
Masks From War-Mongers

Europe-wide scale to be raised in
harmony with the Russian Bolshe-
viks, the German Spartacists led by
Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg,
and the reds in other lands.
This great tradition, sprouting
from the seeds of struggle, and fore
ing it's way through the weeds of
treason, has been properly carried
down to this day. 1t is an occasion
when the working and peasant
youth of all countries demonstrate
their hatred and opposition towards
the imperialist wars Of their master
class. 1t is a special opportunity
for the rallying of all of the toiling
youth to the banner of struggle
against imperialist war by enlisting
on the side of the proletariat in the
war of the class that continues every
day. 1t comes during the election
campaign of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party which gives an added
opportunity to the young militants
1t is the warning of the militant
youth to the imperialists that they
will continue a revolutionary war
against tie reaction. even if an i'm
perialist slaughter should be going
on at the time. -
What more fitting occasion for
International Youth Day demonstra-
tons could be desired than the pres
emit? Military, naval, aerial, and
industrial war preparations are go
ing on throughout the capitalist
world with unprecedented feverish
ness. The United States is plan
ming a colossal navy and industries
are being organized for two-minute
transformation into war factories.
There is a growing increase in points
of friction between England and the
United States, between the United
States and Japan, between France
and Italy, between the imperialist
powers and the colonial peoples, and
between world imperialism and the

ument called Fright Wing Danger
in the American Farty," but from
the Central Executive Committee
which they accuse of being a Right
wing.
The American Party does not want
to cover up its mistakes. Read the
resolution of the May Plenum of
our c. E. G. on the Trade Union
question. There is a ruthless criti-
cism in it of all mistakes we have
made.
No one can question that the pres
ent Central Committee was the one
to notice the major error contained
in the previous platforms of the
Party regarding immediate nation
alization, control of production and
industrial democracy. The present
program of action of the Party does
rot contain such grave deviations
to the Right.
We hope the whole Congress will
reject the charge that the present
Central Executive Committee of the
Party is a Right wing or has the
Right wing policies. Especially is
it unjustified to put forward such a
grave accusation based on a funda-
mentally wrong analysis and estins1-
ton of American imperialism as it
is piyen in the document of these
comrades.

sport between now and election day
will be raising funds for the Com

of house parties. Comrades will

simultaneously decide to contribute
something to the campaign fund. No

never been sharper than at this
time, and the storm clouds of war
have rarely been heavier.

Paris with American Imperialism
taking the lead. The more peace

the day of war.
International Youth Day must
serve to tear the masks from these
hypocrites and war mongers. They
must be exposed as the mass
murderers of the working class and
peasant youth. Especially must the
socialists be placed in their proper
niche as at times open or con-
cealed agents of the imperialist war
lords. These renegades are con-
tinuing the tradition of the socialists
of 1914. Norman Thomas supports
the anti-Soviet Kellogg pact. Bon
cour helps to militarze working
class France. Herman Mueller sup
ports the navalism program of Ger
man Imperialism. Macdonald
bombs Chinese workers for his
British masters. The Russian Men
sheviks join the imperialist clamor
for intervention against the Soviet
Union.
Two Traditions.
Theirs is a tradition of despicable
betrayal and they follow it consis-
tently. Ours is a tradition of revo-
lutionary anti-imperialist and anti
militarist struggle which received
its baptism in war and revolution.
1t is tradition which the youth
best demonstrates on International
Youth Day.
