An exhibition such as this evidences progress.
Ugly as have been some of the manifestations
of the modern movement, there is no doubt
Of its beneficent effect. Ten years ago paint
ing was distinctly decadent painters being con-
tent to take their ideals from the past and to
meekly follow in the footsteps of those who had
gone before. Today there is alertnesS and vigor
all along the line and the condition of the
art Is undoubtedly healthier, the outlook more
promising because of the abrupt awakening. 1t
is sometimes good to be shaken out Of old
tracks.

Wednesday afternoon in the artists improvised
studio at the Mayfower. It is q full length

with green cloak thrown over her left shoulder,
and facing the observer. The background has
the effect Of a tapestry landscape, trees with
heavy foliage to the left, vista to the right
showing possibly, far distant, a semblance Of
the Arlington Memorial Bridge. There is no
suggestion, however of the Executive Mansion

here again tomorrow night?"
If she said yes she'd be rid of
him at once. But Grand's speech,
delivered during dinner that eve
ming, remained strong in her mind.
Il can't tomorrow" she said. But
day after tomorrow, hearts dearest,
1 can. Goodby."
"All right" he said, and if mag
nanimity were there Mary Frances
did not notice it. You're on. Same
time, same place. and same little
sweetie."
AT the first clip Of his heels on
the cement sidewalk Mary Frances
pried off the slippers and said,

hattened and spread on the cool
grass she moaned aloud with the
felicity of her relief before she
yawned, picked up the slippers, and
went padding toward the house,

Brightly, eagerly awake, she
scrambled out of the deep hollow

perched on it's edge and reached for
her slippers.

Ann. And he's fuSsy about beauty.
He doesn't think Marta is even

so fine that you aren't vain.
HE says most really beautiful
women ruin their beauty by the way
they wear it-like flowers pinned

Cecily gasped before she laughed.
"Lindbergh," she answered. Who'd

old dingy blue bathrobe on the foot
Of her bed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-A re-
newed effort to get congress to
authorize the federal farm board to
distribute a small part of it's vast
wheat stocks to the hungry and
unemployed will be made after the
holiday recess.
Although the issue is complicated
now with insistence of the board,
suddenly presented, to have con-
gress reimburse it for the wheat
given away, Senators Capper (Rep.,
Kan0, McNary Rep, Or, Wheeler
(Dem., Month, and Democrats and
Republicans of the house will con-

Significance OF Intl Youth Day

CEPTENTBER of this year will mark the 18th
anniversary of International Youth Day.
This fighting day of the youth against imperial
ist war comes at a time when the young workers
Of all capitalist countries will soon be rushed to
the battlefield to fight in another imperialist
war Therefore International Youth Day of this
wear must play a very important role in nlobiliz-
ing the very forces which capitalism will use to
fight its war, the youth, into a struggle against
capitalist war and for defense Of the Soviet
Union.
Origin of International Youth Day.
International Youth Day was the result of the
struggle of the revolutionary youth against the
last imperalist war of 1914-1918 During the last
war at a time when millions of the working
youth we're being brutally murdered for CAPT
talist profits the socialist parties and the
leadership of the youth movements in the vari-
Gus countries aided the imperialists by calling on
the youth to die for "their fatherland." The
revolutionary youth found it necessary to call
conference of the European youth movements,
to map out an extensive program for struggle
against the raging capitalist war. This confer
ence met in Berne Switzerland, in April, 1915.
At this conference were represented the revolu-
tionary youth movements and oppositions within
the socialist youth movements Of ten countries.
The conference, in the spirit of the numerous
Lenin and Liebknecht, declared "War Against
War, and called for struggle against the be-
trayers of the working class, the socialist lead
ership. AS part of the struggle against the i'm
perialst war, the conference set aside a day on
which the youth of the world would be called to
demonstrate against the inperialist war. This
day was called International Youth Day. This
day stands out as one of the best traditions of
the youth in the struggle against irnperialist
war
Today, the militant traditions of the Berne
conference and International Youth Day have
been inherited by the leader of the world toilng
youth the Young Communist International.
International Youth Day has become day of
militant struggle for millions of young workers
throughout the world.
Capitalists Prepare Youth for Cannon Fodder
More than at any time since the war the young
workers are face to face with the immediate
danger of war Eight hundred millions of dol
iars are being spent for war preparations in the
U. S. All agencies for niltarizng the youth are
being rapidly enlarged (army, navy, national
guard, CMTC0. The largest dirigible in the
world, the Akron has been launched by the U. s.
The capitalist youth organizations are carrying
on large-scale recruiting campaigns for winning
over the youth. The All Clubs are giving prizes
in many localities for the best essay against the
Soviet Union The recent "Y" Congress tried to
cover up its role under cloak of pacifism. They
endorsed the stand Of Hoover on disarmament"
which in plain words means a support of the
American capitalist war preparations. Kamek2

gress left for Germany with instructions from

the "Y" leadership and the National Civic Fed
Grafton for the formation Of worldwide Or
ganization "to fight the Reds"-an organiza-
ton which will work with the various govern
ments in preparing for the attack on the Soviet
Union. The capitalist sports organizations are
militarizing the various sports. Larger and larg-
er numbers of young workers are realizing that
the capitalists are carrying on a war-preparation
program which is directed mainly against the
Soviet Union.
Conditions Of Youth Growing Worse
The conditions of the young workers are grow
ing from bad to worse daily. Over 100000 young
workers are unemployed. No relief is being given
to them by the government. Not even few
pennies out of what little is being given out by
welfare boards and charity institutions are being
given the unemployed youth. In certain places
for example the copper mines of Northern
Michigan. the bosses have introduced a system
whereby under the guse of "helping the family
men" they are refusing the least bit Of work to
young workers. In the shops, Wage-cuts are re-
ducng the already very low wages of the young
workers. Determinations and lynchings of Ne
gro youth are spreading like wild fire through
out North and South. Struggles of the young
workers against these intolerable conditions are
mounting, showing themselves in the presence
of large numbers of youth in the mining and
textile strikes taking place, in the ever-increas-
ing participation of the youth in demonstrations
and struggles against unemployment and for Ne
gro rights The bosses in order to prevent mill
tant struggles of the youth against starvation
and in an attempt to create docile working
class for use in war have let loose most vicious
terror campaign against the youth (Scottsboro
murder of young miner, VIM Simons, holding of
Keith on charge of criminal Syndicalsm; Mine
rich facing IS year sentence for activity in min

Demonstrate International Youth Day.
International Youth Day of this year will UNI
furl the banner of struggle against imperialist
war and for defense of the Soviet Union, against
wage-cutS, for immediate unemployment relief
against any and all forms of oppression of the
Negro youth This day Of struggle will demand
mot a cent for imperialist war-all war funds
for relief of the unemployed" This day will
ring out throughout the length and breadth of
the country will reach into 100 cities into the
heart of the most important industries and farm
ing localities. In 1915 there was very small
revolutionary youth movement functioning very
weakly. Today there is the powerful Communist
International and Young Communist Interna-
tional leading the struggles of the world toiling
youth against capitalism. At the time of the
Berne conference the working class had no
fatherland. Today the working class rules vic
toriously in one-sxth of the world the Soviet
Union, and is threatening the rule Of capitalism
in the other five-sixths of the world. These two
important factors will add tremendous strength

BY JOS. ROBERTS

This year for the seventeenth International
Youth Day meetings have been arranged in 122
different cities in the country. This was due to
the increased activity of the Y.CL. and made
possible by the cooperation from the Party in
certain districts where meetings were arranged
by the Party even though no Y.CL. existed
there This should pave the way for the roofing
Of the Y.CL. wherever the Party is established.
These demonstrations will be widely popular
lied through thousands Of leaflets that have
been issued to the unemployed youth, the young
workers in the shops, to those on the farms and
special appeals to the workers children all of
whom together with the adults are feeling the
bitter effects of the starvation program of the
Bosses the speedup and wage cuts.
This years campaign for IYD. has been
bound up with the everyday struggles of the
youth, for instance in Chicago the Y.CL. and
the youth in an unemployed branch held an
effective demonstration of 500 in front of
Y.M.C.A. that evicted jobless young workers for
non payment of rent The officials had to use
clever demagogy and were at least forced to
open the swimming pool and gym for the use

The Pennsylvania National Guard
Prepares for Strike Duty

COMETIME ago an article appeared in he
Erie Dispatch Herald stating that one of
the most important problems to be studied by
the National Guard at their summer training
camp in Mt Gretna, Pa. will be the defense of
the southern border of the Penna. state line.
AT this time the Young Communist League is
sued a leaflet to the Pa. Nat Guard, 10TH in
fantry exposing this statement. 1t explained TO
the Nat. Guard that it is in Southern Pa that
the miners are on strike against starvation and
that the government is planning to mobilize
them for strike duty. The Young Communist
League called upon the Nat Guard to refuse to
be strikebreakers, that instead they should help
win the strike by sending down 10 the strike
stricken area money, food and clothing.
This call to the Pa. Nat. Guard has been sub
stantiated by a news article which appeared in
the August issue of the Erie Dispatchc- Herald.
One of its subheadnes was: Warns Guards
May Be Called For Strike Duty"
Addressing about 200 officers last night
the governor said he would not hesitate to
call out the guard if any disturbances in the
mining areas of Pennsylvania warranted such
action" is Pinchots statement.
The Young Communist League of Erie has
Issued a eafet to the 18TH Infantry, one of
the troops reviewed by Governor Pinchot, again
calling upon them not to use their guns upon
the working class, not to be strikebreakers.
Fellow National Guardsmen! The strike of
the miners is your strike 1t is strike against
starvation Many Of you are unemployed and
you are forced to wait three months for your
drill pay
The whole working class is being forced into
starvation We must support the miners strike!
Organize yourselves a body and refuse to do
duty in the mining section for strike duty! Do
not be scabs! Don't use your guns upon the
working class! Refuse to be strikebreakers!
Help win the miners strike against starvation!
Demonstrate on IYD, September 9Th against
bosses militarism! Demand all military funds
