Question

peasant youth, the strengthening of
the Anti-Imperialist League, in
crease the work of the fractions in
the mass organizations and increase
anti-militarist work"
Rust, of Britain, also made a CO.
speech on the colonial question.
"The work for the support of the
revolutionary movement in the col
onies is progressing. The most i'm
portant Leagues for colonial work
are the British. French, American,
Dutch and Italian. Special educa-
tional courses must be organized in
the Leagues concerning colonial
work. A direct connection must be
established with the colonial Leagues
or improved where connection al
ready exists. 1t is necessary to
send comrades from imperialist
countries for work in the colonies.
League Colonial Department.
Propaganda work among the
troops sent to the colonies is ex-
tremely important. A sharp fight
must be conducted against colonial
policy of the social democracy which
assists the imperialists. Special
colonial departments must be formed
in the central committees of the
Leagues"
Mahmud, of India, was chairman
of the fourteenth session. Pioneer,
of China, made another speech on
the colonial question. "The Chinese
play a great role in industry and, in
consequence, also in revolution. The
working conditions and exploitation
are terrible. The students played
a revolutionary role formerly, but
are now only partly revolutionary.
Terror caused the Chinese League
to lose members. The correct Boil
shevist policy is now adopted in
China. The Communist youth took
prominent part in the Canton in
surrection. Despite the terror the
organization is maintained intact.
"The chief tasks are to strengthen
the League, build supplementary
mass organizations, win leadership
of the peasant youth and cooperate
with the party to win the Chinese
workers for the victorious revolu-
ton" Great applause.)
U. S. League and Colonies.
Phillips, of the United States,
opened the discussion, saying, "The
American League has commenced
colonial work and sent comrades to
Mexico, distributed leaflets among
the troops sent to Nicaragua and
China, etc. Work in the Philippines
must now commence. Work among
The Negroes has also commenced but
is very insufficient. Work must be
performed in Liberia, Haiti, ETC.,
where great masses of industrial
proletarian youth exist"
The following then spoke: Miura,
of Japan; Schueller, of the Execu-
tive Committee Of the Young Com
munist International, and Ford, of
the United States.
Ford discussed the progress OF
industrialization in Africa. "The
Young Communist international
must adopt the policy laid down by
the Red International of Labor
Unions for work among the Ne.
groes. The Young Communist In
tcrnational must also work together
with the Secretariat for work among
the Negroes"
Revolutionary Students.
The following speakers were;
Muniabazir, Tanutuva and Spence
of Britain; Fentinmin, of China, and
Harvey, of the United States. Har-
vey said: eve must pay more at
tention to the revolutionary stu
dents in the colonies. South Amer
lean states are semi-colonial and
therefore important for revolution
in case of war. The workers sport
movement in the colonies must be
strengthened. Anti-militarist work
In the army must be performed, par
ticularly in Hawaii and Cuba. The
Leagues In the netherlands must
cooperate In the colonial work."
Ricardo, Of Argentine, spoke and
then Haywood. Of tho United States.

departments for Negro work"
