The Work of the Communist
Youth Movement,

energy, not with sufficient emphasis
on our own demands and our own
independence, but the important
thing to notice is the new step
which we have taken and the new
results which we are achieving.
In the struggle against the war
danger, comrades, the League has
done something which 1 believe is
an historic achievement, because 1t
was a break from all the traditions
of the socialist movement and of the
labor movement in this country;
namely, the League has adopted a
different attitude towards the
armed forces, as against the tradi-
tional pacifist attitude with which
the whole labor movement was i'm
bued in the United States. In view
of the absence of any revolutionary
traditions in this field, such as
existed in Germany, in France, in
Italy, in all the important European
countries, this step, this break with
the past becomes very important
phase in the change in our orienta-
ton.
Comrades, I have already indi-
Gated to you some results IN the
concrete work, some achievements,
actually achievements which we
have been able to show. We have
made efforts to involve not only
those young workers who were &C
tually in the various struggles for
participation in those struggles, but
also those young workers who were
outside these struggles in the form
of youth relief conferences, which
we organized thruout the country
/ believe for the first time-on the
issue of relief for the miners.
I don't want to go into any great
detail in dealing with the achieve
ments of the League, except to in
dictate the increase in membership In
the League, the increase in the num-
Der of young workers, and particu-
larly in the number of young work
ers in large factories and in the
basic industries.
The development of the Young
Pioneers as genuine working class
organization, not a Sunday school
but an organization of struggle, is
a great accomplishment. Comrades
we can be very proud of the recog'
milton that our Pioneers have re-
ceived on an international scale, as
being Pioneers not only in name but
pioneers in actual activity, in set
ting an example to the Pioneers IL
other countries, in their participa
ton in the mass struggles of thu
workers, in drawing the workers
children into these mass struggles
And, comrades, this also is an his
toric achievement of which we ar
justly proud.

BRITISH FIGHT u. S.
ELECTRIC TRUST
Try to Drive Out the
Morgan Interests

LONDON, England, March 90
The struggle between British and
American interests for the control
of the British General Electric Com
pany, Ltd, continued today with the
speech of Sir Hugo Hirst, chairman
of the British branch of the big
Morgan interests, to the sharehold-
ers.
81 will not yield an iota of the
principles which already enunci-
ated," Sir Hugo stated, the "prin-
ciples" being that "for effective
control of our business it is essen
tial to have large body of share
holders living within the British
empire" especially in the light OF
the war danger between the two
powers.
Continuance of the fight by the
American shareholders committee
against Hirst's proposals was prom
ised last night by Latham R. Reed
when Sir Hugo Hirst talks about
this measure Satisfying the Amer
| lean stockholders without givins
them control of the company, it il
an obviously ridiculous statement,
he said.
