siye work in all existing auxiliary organizations
with a view to the political moulding to the
youth and systematic recruiting of members
for the Young Communist League. Secondly,
maximum initiative is necessary in the crea-
ton of new types of auxiliary organizations,
namely, factory organizations (along indus
trial lines on the basis of youth delegates in
the factories, sport and other factory groups,
etc J., youth trade union sections on the factory
principle, international Red Army groups,
mutual aid and various anti fascist, sport,
educational and other youth associations.
Young Communist League members belonging
to auxiliary organizations should constitute
properly functioning fractions.
The work carried on by Young Communist
organizations in the industrial, cultural and
sport associations must be of political char
acter It. is not the task of the Young Com
munsts working in these organizations to show
that they ara good sportsmen and educational
workers, but chat they can carry on systematic
agitation and propaganda, that they can rouse
the class-consciousness of the young workers,
and make the latter understand the general
class tasks of the proletariat and the struggle
for the proletarian dictatorship.
e) The Young Communist League organiza-
lions must pay particular attention to sport
unions of the working class youth. In these
unions they must crystalline the basic kernel
for strike pickets, proletarian self-defense,
workers fighting committees and Red Guards,
people for work in the imperialist armies. They
should utilize sport organizations for the mil
itary training of the working class youth.
f. In all of the opponent and neutral" or
carnations having many of the working class
youth in their midst, it is necessary to work
stubbornly and persistently for their disintegra-
ton and for the winning of the young workers
to our side. For this purpose it is necessary
to send steadfast Young Communist members
into. such organizations and draw into this
work organizations which are under Young
Communist influence. 1t is necessary to attend
all public meetings of political opponents, to
carry on open discussions in factories as well
as outside of them in order to demoralize their
organizations. The Plenum instructs the Pre-
sidium specially to work out concrete measures
and tasks in the matter of disruption of the
Young Socialist International, and religious
and fascist organizations (the "Dopo Lavore"
and the "Strelok," etc.,.
q Work must Immediately begin amongst
the agricultural laborers and poor peasants,
especially in agrarian countries. In this con-
nection the ties that some workers have with
villages should be made use Of Rural work
requires extensive application Cf subsidiary
forms of organization of the youth.
h) The illegal Leagues will be able to make
the turning only if they fight against the pecu-
liar deviations which are particularly strong
in then, owing to the peculiar conditions under
which they have to work On the one hand,
there are legalist tendencies to be observed,
striving to carry on all activities legally and
to underestimate the Importance and the lead
ing role of the illegal organizations. On the
other hand, there is very strong tendency to
be isolated from the external world, to neglect
the possibilities Of carrying on legal work,
sharply expressed spirit of sectarianism, often
giving rise to pernicious political theories (ter-
rorism). Both these deviations result in a
limited development Of the Young Communist
League, a rejection of mass work and, in the
end, liquidation. Attention in the countries
where the Young Communist Leagues are il
legal must be directed chiefly to the strengthen
ing and development Of the illegal organiza-
tions, and to skillful coordination of legal
and illegal methods Of work.
