The daily worker., 1931-08-28
An Open Letter to the Members
OF the Y. NJ. {. A

lvnching? Why does the "Y'' give the Negro
branches the poorest facilities? Because the
Y" wishes to keep the white and Negro young
workers divided The "Y" does not want the
white and Negro youth to unite in fight
against their only enemy the boss class. Only
the Communists come forward for full social
political and economic equality for Negroes. and
for the right of self-determination in the black
belt of the South.
Prepares Youth For War.
Every young worker is directly affected by the
growing danger of another war. What does the
"Y" do to fight militarism and war? The Con-
gress talked lot about peace but let us go a
bit deeper. The Congress endorsed the So
called disarmament" policy of Hoover. What
does this mean in common every day language?
1t means, that the "Y" has endorsed the spend
ing by the U. S. Government of more than
100000 900 a year for nlltarism, but not one
cent for the unemployed! Do you know, that
when one of the officials TO the West Side "Y"
of New York City, wrote an article against the
C.MTC.'s, he was expelled from the organiza-
tionP Do you know that the Ohio "Y" has
given active help in the training of 10000 Ma
tional Guardsmen at Camp Perry? This Is how
the "Y" fights war;
Fights Against Workers Russia
Today there is one land that has no unem-
ployment, no wage-cuts and hunger. This land
is the Soviet Union. The growing war prepara-
tions in the United States and other capitalist
countries are being directed against the Work
ers' Republic 1t is the duty of every young
worker to defend the Soviet Union. What is
the stand of the "Y" towards the Soviet Union
The "Y" Congress had nine delegates repre-
senting" Russia. Did they represent the work.
ers and farmers of Russia? No. they represented
the degenerated land owners and capitalists
who were thrown out by the workers and peas
ants. 1t is these people that the "Y' supports.
The Congress worked out the means by which
to poison the minds of the youth and prepare
them for war against the Workers Republic.
Are You For the Workers or For the Bosses?
1t must be clear to every young worker that
the "Y" Congress did not represent nor defend
our interests The "Y" is owned and controlled
by the. bosses and defends their interests as
against ours. Have you ever stopped to think
who supports the "Y" financially and why? The
us. Rubber; the Bethlehem Steel General Elee-
tric and American Telephone and Telegraph
are only few of them. VIM. F. Morgan son
Of ]. P. Morgan, is a member of the Board of
Trustees J. r. Mott the President Of the
World Alliance of the YMC.A., is the son Of
the owner Of the Mott Iron Works plant
which pays extremely low wages.
Why do these millionaires support the "Y"?
Because they need an organization which can
be used to keep the young workers from fight
ing against unemployment, against wage-cuts
Because they need an organization that helps
exploit the young workers in China, Latin
America, ETC. Because, through sports and
other means, they want to train and prepare
the youth for the next war against the Soviet
Union. That is why Mrs. John D. Rockefeller,

Only the Communists Fight For You.
The Congress of the "Y" had as its real pur-
