''The Alabama lynch courts have
again handed down a verdict to
murder young Haywood Patterson
the first of the nine ScottSboro boys
to be retired. This lynch verdict fo.-
lows after complete collapse of ths
frame-up charges during the trial
They intend now to murder not only
Patterson but all Of the nine boys.
This is a part Of the terror against
the working class in every capitalist
country. 1t is expressed interna-
tionally most sharply in the fascist
attacks now talking place in Ger
many"
In face Of these events and in the
interest of united action, the Young
Communist League proposes a pro-
gram of action on the basis of spe-
cific demands for the youth, together
with general demands for the whole
working class, as follows:
81. For the right OF all unemployed
youth and graduating students to re-
ceiye unemployment relief, regardless
Of sex or color. Against all forced Ia
Dor and military schemes to herd I'M
employed youth into camps Ccivilian
conservation corps, etc..
%. Against wage cuts, for increased
wages to meet rising prices, for
shorter hours OF work without reduc-
ton in pay, for g minimum wage for
ell young workers, full and part time
workers; against child labor and state
maintenance Of those now employed.
80. Against imperiaiist war, for the
withdrawal of Japanese forces from
China, for the defense of the Chinese
people, for the stopping of arms ship
ments to Japan and Latin America,
against irnperialist attacks upon the
Soviet Union, against military train.

"a Against the terror and anti
! semitic campaign of German faScism
end for the release Of Thaelmann ano
all imprisoned anti-fascist forces; fol
the release of the Scottsboro boys ant
Tom Mooney, and all political pris-
oners; against lynchings and persecu-
ton Of the Negro masses.
IS. Against local, state and fedora
"retrenchmentS" in the educationa

| oYercrowded schools; for free food
clothing and school supplies. For a
fight against Negro discrimination ir
the schools; for full academic free
dom in the schools.
/ The statement continues:
Until now some organizations, par
/ ticularly the Young Peoples Socialis
League have opposed united action on
the grounds that the Communists re-
| serve the right to criticize their
actions. The Young Communist
League, in making this proposal fol
unity states emphatically that it vel
comes all sincere efforts at unity
In the event that agreements are
reached around a fighting program
We will withhold all attacks upon any
organizations that loyalty carry Oh
the fighting program that Is agreed
upon. At the same time, the Y. G. L
must state that in ceSe any organiza-
ton or its representatives break tbs
agreement reached. OF fails to carry il
out in practice, the sharpest, open
criticism must be launched, with tht
aim Of rouSing the resentment o.
the youth against such acts which
hinder effective struggle and which
can only be compared to the acts Of
strikebreakers"
1--WE call upon all youth, organized
and unorganized, to unite everywhere
in the fight against hunger, fascisn
and war. We urge an immediate con-
ference to organize one united MAJ
Day this year. We propose to organ
ize on the occasion Of the Third Ma
tional Youth Day, May &c. huge
youth mobilization against imperial
ist war.
There must, however be no wait.
ing for outcomes of negotiations. The
needs of the youth require immediate
action. The Young Communis
League urges its local organization
to intensity the activity to forge &
united front movement for struggle O
all toiling youth"

Young Communist League invites al
