appeal to the Central Committee of
the Young Communist Leagues of
all countries:
To the Central Committees of all
Leagues
On September . we will hold our
traditional fighting day-the Inter
national Youth Day, for the four
teenth time. AS usual, we must do
our utmost to mobilize the masses
of the working youth. On Interna-
tional Youth Day we must not only
endeavor to place our slogans and
demands before the young work
ers at street corners, in squares and
parks, we must also get hold of
them organizationally.
The center of our agitation must
be the struggle against the imper-
ialist war danger. The struggle of
the imperialists for markets, their
war of intervention in China, their
attempts at the economic eneircle-
ment of the Soviet Union, are all
of them danger signals. The rejec-
ton of the Russian disarmament
proposals exposes the real attitude
of the imperialists to this problem.
1t is incumbent on us to draw con-
tinuously the attention OF the work
ing youth to these perils, to rouse
and mobilize them for struggle
against the war mongers and their
aiders and abettors and for the pro-
lection and defense of the Soviet
/ Union.
Fight Pacifism.
In this connection considerable
Importance attaches to the pacifist
movement which has been able to
divert the attention of big masses
of young workers and peasants
from the real struggle of the i'm
periaist war danger by fostering
among them various illusions.
/ Therefore we must utilize the Inter
national Youth Day to spread true
information about the real charac-
ter of this movement among the
working youth. Our attitude to the
Pacifist Youth Congress where we
will set against pacifism the prin-
ciples of the revolutionary anti-war
struggle, will give us an oppor-
tunity to enlighten the masses.
The bourgeoisie is endeavoring to
suppress the revolutionary Com
munist movement by all possible
means, in the interests of economic
sterilization and war preparations.
This is borne out by increasing re-
action in all countries, the excuses
of white terror and increased re-
preston against our Young Com
munist Leagues. We must bring it
home to the working masses by our
practical work that the increased
pressure of the capitalists against
the revolutionary movement is also
harmful to their interests; in this
manner we will be able to mobilize
them for the struggle for the legal
existence of the Young Communist
organizations.
Raise Slogans.
Side by side with our political
slogans we must bring forward for
the International Youth Day econ
omic demands adapted to the gen
eral conditions and the situation in
individual countries. 1t is essen
tial to make propaganda for our
fighting program which was adopted
at the Sixth Congress of the Red
international of Labor Unions.
The Fifth Congress of the Y. c. l..
will come to an end just before the
International Youth Day. We must
therefore popularize the Fifth Con-
gress and the Y. C. l. itself as an
international organization among
the masses in our recruiting work,
making the widest possible use of
the Congresses decisions.
On this basis we propose the fol-
lowing slogans for the International
Youth Day:
/. Down with imperialist wars
defend the Socialist Soviet Union!
2. Down with the disarmament
swindle of the bourgeoisie, the
League of Nations and it's socialist
supporters
8. Energetic support for the lib
Grafton struggle of the Chinese peo-
pie and the colonies against world
imperialism
A. Destroy the pacifist illusions
long live the common struggle OF
workers, peasants, soldiers and sail
ors!
5. Down with fascism, white ter
ror and class justice!
6. We demand legal existence
for the revolutionary young work
ers' organizations!
7. Struggle against monopolist
trust capital--for the economic de-
mands of the working youth.
8. Long live the united revolu-
tionary struggle of the working
youth!
9. JOIN the Young Communist
League, the only mass organization
of the class-conscious working
youth!
We will be able to bring our slo-
gans and demands forcibly before
the masses only unless we strength
en- our work in factories, on the
farms. in trade unions and wherever
