that night they made him q ser

There we're lots OF speeches and

his 50 years in Dover n that ne
had served with more or less dis
tinction as chauffeur for a state
congressman. as a salesman OF fire
extinguishers. and as chief Of n
fire department. His two years OF
service as a COP had been u%nevent-
full until the day he looked across
the street and saw parked there
the automobile for which all the
policemen in the east had beer
searching. And In 1t was James
Nannery. sleek young bandit who
had been at large since his escape
from Sing Sing IN 1923. Several
states wanted 70 ask him about
various misdeeds ranging from
murder to bank robbery.

Pope Plus, unbending in his con-

which usually mark this Corpus

has been mentioned as the pontiffs

the present papal secretary Of state,
was playing an important part In
the negotiations.
The priests in all the churches
explained to their congregations
this morning why the Corpus
Christi Day professions could not
be held outdoors as usual. The Pope
had suspended them, they said, be-
cause there was no guarantee that
they would be free from disturb

honor should be done to a living
hero. For. as this particular hero
himself pointed out. In most
cities. after the fine things is said

out comes the casket."
This was no idle speculation on
his part. For as the people Of
Dover paid their honors TO their
hero. one policeman in nearby New
York lay in his coffin. and an
others grave had just closed. Both
were murdered coldbloodedly BY

Sharpest Terror.
ANY signs of fight against the
bosses is met by the sharpest ter
ror. This can be seen by the
many lynchings of young Negro
workers, that have taken place
both in the north and in the
south. In Marion, Indiana, two
Negro youths were lynched. In
Scottsboro, Ala. eight Negro youths
are now being framed up and
preparations made to legally
lynch them. This brazen attempt
of the bosses must meet with the
sharpest resistance from all Sec
tons of the working class.
In the last year, many arrests of
militant youth leaders have taken
place. In the south, we have the

THE working class youth has
played very important part in
all struggles against capitalism.
Whether it was an armed fight
against the imperialistS in China,
or against the murderous Social
list" Labor Government in India,
in the fight against fascism in
Germany, or in conducting strikes
in the United States, the working
class youth, shoulder to shoulder
with the adults, has fought in the
front lines.
Youth in U.S.S.R.
In the Soviet Union, the work.
ing class youth has also cOnduc-
ted a big fight. Here the fight
is different, because it is the
only working class government,
and the youth does not have to
fight against wage cuts, unem-
ployment, speed up, terror and
war preparations. On the con-
trary, the youth is helping to
build Socialism; helping to carry
out the Five Year Plan in four
years, being the originat0rs and
active members of the famous
~shock troops" also helping to
Inck T1tG nf
capitaIism-the kulaks.
In the United States, since last
May Day, the youth has taken
part in many working class battles.
In the Lawrence textile strike, the
miners strike, the youth strikes in
New Haven, and, the fight against
unemployment, wage-cut an d
speed-up, the fight against lynch
ing of Negro workers, against de-
portations, the youth has helped
the adults carry on the fight. In
many cases, the youth has played
an active role in the fight against
bosses war preparations. An exa-
mination of the situation of the
working class youth will clearly
show the reason for this.
Probably, at no other time,
has the situation Of the young
workers and farmers been as it
is today. Of the ten million un-
employed, over 2,5OO,000 are
young workers. These young
workers are going from town to
town looking for jobs that are
not to be found. Forced to 60
away from home, they must look
for flop houses, alleys and parks
to find a place to sleep. While
the bosses have taken very few
steps to feed or house the un-
employed, charity organizations
openly discriminate against the
youth. Those that have jobs, are
getting wage cut after wage cut.
The average wage for week be-
