Congress Pledge Against War.
I'VE, the youth of the world, of
every continent, of every race, of
every calling-workers young
women, peasants, students and in
tellectuals-declare our united de-
termination to fight against war, to
smash fascism, to fight under the
Red Flag of Socialism.
Remembering the millions Of
war dead, in the teeth of terror,
famine and slavery-the fruits Of
capitalisn1--we take this solemn
pledge to play our part, to carry
out the Charter of the World Youth
Congress, to keep fighting day after
day against the preparations for
imperialist war in all its FORMS and
to defend the Soviet Union.
"If in spite Of our efforts, imper-
ialist war should break out, we un-
dertake to strangle 1t by universal
determination of the young men
and women of all the countries in
the world.
I'VE shall never submit to pour
ing out our blood for the profit of
the rich.
eve are sounding the rallying
cry for the youth of the world. We
shall avenge the dead. We appeal
to the living"
I'VE never before witnessed such
enthusiasm, such rnilitancy, as at
the Paris World Congress-" declared

worker from the Ford River Rouge
plant in Detroit, added that many
Of the LOIS delegates came to the

Barbusss Speaks.
Henri BarbusSe opened the Con-
gress with flaming call to the youth
of the world to take the van in the
fight against war and against the
terror regime of Fascism.

plainest desires that masses of young
men are allowing themselves to be
pushed by the debasing exploitation
of youthful enthusiasm and heroism
into the ranks of Fascism-and they
are marked out as its first victims
Barbusse pointed to the fact that
there were 10000 adherents of the
Congress in Spain alone and 100000
in France as a glorious sign of the
awakening of the young men and
women of the world to their respons-

victors of tomorrow" Barbusse cried
in his final appeal to the Congress
This united front is the vanguard OF
the worlds workers, is the image OF
living reality. There is only one pro-
letariat in the world and humanity is
one. And now it is up to the youth
to speak,"
