Young Workers
Prepare Youth Day
Mobilize Against War
on September 9
By JOE ROBERTS

Youngwcrkers between the ages
of 13 and - smade up the bulk
of the troops Eoover used to crush,
drive out. and in some cases, to
murder, the void war veterans de-
manding their back apy in Wash
ington.
Youth of about the same age
make up the National Guards,
which broke the Ohio miners
strike, which fought on the side of
the scabs in Indiana coal fields,
which are held ready to use against
the miners strike in Illinois, and
against the farmers strike in lava.
''Father" Cox, and all other fas-
cist leaders, make their appeal to
youth under the influence of pat
riotic and religious preiudires.
Pacifists spread their illusions
about the impossibility of war
among the Youth.
ROLE OF THE YPSL
THE leadership CT the Young
Peoples Socialist League try to
claim the tradition Of the Inter
national Youth Day. and in this
way aiming to draw the masses of
youth from an effective struggle
against war. This is best shown
in the recent YPSL convention,
where they struck out the clause
from their resolution against war,
of turning the imperialist war in
to a civil war" Instead they try
to raise pacifist measures, such as
calling q general strike to prevent
war, and also passive resistance to
being drafted for the front.
The YPSL leadership has no right
to claim International Youth Day.
It is precisely against the Socialist
leadership of the Second Interna-
tional, and some of the leaders OF
the Youth International, that a
number of militant youth organ
izatiops held a conference at Berne
in 1915, the purpose of which was
to organize a concerted action
against the imperialist war raging
atging at the time. 1t resulted in
the only outstanding form Of mass
protest against the war and bosses
miltarism during the course OF the
last warld war.
Since then day was set aside
Gin the first week Of September
every year, to be known as Inter
national Youth Day, and to con-
tinue the struggle by modifying
wide masses of youth against i'm
perialist war and bosses militarism.
This group of youth organizations
laid the basis for the formation of
the Young Communist Internation-
al.
UNITED FRONT ACTION
Today the Young Communist
League not only claims the tradi-
lions, but is working for a genuine
united front Of the youth masses,
teaching the correct and only way
in the struggle against war and
the revolutionary way out of the
crisis. This means we must reach
the youth in the factories, jooless
youth, the young farmers and
students in an honest fight against
imperialist war Our efforts must
be mainly directed to the youth in
the armed forces, National Guards
etc.
It is necessary to have the sup
port Of all workingclass organiza-
tons both youth and adult in the
preparations for the holding of
Hurc demonstrations with rarades
End marches on Friday, Sept. 9Th.
Ja-T'rqticnal Youth Day.
I. v. n. LINKED UP WITH
D"TLY STRUGGLE
The struggle against inperialist
war, must be raised together with
the concrete daily demands Of the
Nputh together with the adults.
Therefore the preparations must be
marked with struggles TO rthe de-
msrds of the youth for bread, un-
employment insurance, for recre-
a4.c-al facilitics Nand against the
,vi~r- Growing of tie Negro youth.
This Youth Day must bring into
the forefront, the Scottzboro issue,
which will be used internationally,
The massacre OF struggle for the
10Th International Youth Day must
RING out the militant traditions of
International Youth Day is to join
Chs- Young Communist League as
the best pledge in the struggle
against irnperialist war.
