The Fascists Mobilizing Against
the Communists

Association, the 9th Division Association, the
Sons of the American Revolution, Daughters
of the American Revolution, the Disabled
American World War Veterans and various
other organizations.
The immediate aim of these organizations in
merged form is to "attack the Communists
with counter line. Of education!" The real aim
is G) ito take action that the misled children
young Pioneers--I.A.) of school age be in
stigated with the idea in mind of correcting
their mistaken idea of liberties in this free ~
country; (2) with the end in view that aliens
who are not satisfied with our form Of govern
ment be deported"
This is a big mobilization of the fascist in
the eastern part of the country against the
Communists and militant workers.
The Boy Scout organization has announced
the formation of new body, the "Boy Scout
Juniors" or "Cubs" This organization will
take in all children up to IL years of age. 1t
is estimated that 100000 may be taken into
the organization, if the plans Of the executive
committee succeed. Among those sponsoring
the move are Professor John Dewey, DR.. E. L.
Thorndike and other prominent educators" in
the East. Under the cloak Of giving the young
children activities that "their parents demand"
these children will be drawn into the militia
ristic activities of the Boy and Girl Scouts,
and thus be prepared ideologically and organ
nationally for fascist and military activities.
Thus the fascists of the country are n1obiliz-
ing all the reactionary forces, children and
adult, against the Communicable Communist
Party the Young Communist League and this
Young Pioneers.
This is clear recognition Of the GROWING
influence of the Communist Party over tho
workers. 1t is recognition that the claim Of
the Communists that the workers will struggle
and will follow the Communist Party is correct.
1t also demonstrates that the capitalists fear
the Communist Party.
The lining up of the social fascist party and
the American Federation of Labor with thess
aims of the fascists, the non-interference Of
the government with the formation of the new
Italian fascist organization-which is to be
expected-the introduction of the Coughlin bill
in the New York State Assembly for the mill
tarization of all school children from 10 to Is
years of age, are indications of the coming
struggles. The failure of the London Naval
Disarmament" Conference to bring about re-
duction, but on the contrary resulting in an
increase in armament, the threats against the
Soviet Union, are clear warnings of what IL
coming
The Communist Party understands clearly
the situation. The tremendous and growing nm
employment, the ferocious offensive Of the cap
italists on the employed workers to reduce their
wages and conditions. The workers must pre-
pare for these struggles: "a by organizing in
the shops into militant industrial unions to
meet the coming attacks; (2) by forming work
ers defense groups to defend their meetings
and organizations; ~ by building up the COM
munist Party and Young Communist League
so as to meet the struggles; (4) by putting
their children into the Young Pioneers, in or
der effectively to counterfeit the poisonous
propaganda and hatred Of the militant work
ing class and Of the Communist Party that
will be drilled into their heads; (5) by support
ing and spreading the Communist press, par
ticularly the Daily Worker SO that the workers
may know what the capitalists and the govern
ment are plotting.
