section in the union. After the
strike, though many of our COM
rades were in jail, we began to
build the League units, and we
established four or five. After the
strike, when the union was rec
Ognized, the question came up of
what we were going to do with
the new recruits. We started
classes. We took up the struggle
for relief for the unemployed. We
formed basketball team, ran So
Gals for them"
Dealing with the question of the
struggle against imperialist war
and training for new forces for the
League, she said:
mo one raised the question of
developing girl comrades for lead
erShip in the Y. c. L. There are
two girls in the whole committee
Of District Is. I'm certain that is
the situation throughout the coun-
try. We have no girls developed
sufficiently to take the place of boys
in League activity in case Of war"
Comrade L. Patterson, reporting
on struggles Of the unemployed
youth summarized the most i'm
portant questions as follows: "Our
immediate tasks in the unemployed
field are to mobilize the toiling
young generation for militant, or
ganized struggle for relief for the
unemployed youth, and for the
adoption of the workers unemploy-
ment insurance bill, against mass
lay-offs, forced labor, and for the
right of the unemployed to elect
committees to administer and con-
troll and distribute their relief"

Greetings were brought to the
convention from the Canadian
Young Communist League. Another
occasion for cheers and prolonged
applause was the reading of tele-
gram from the Cuban Y. c. L., which
said:
Greetings to the convention of
the Y. c. L., which in the home
land Of imperialism has been
carrying on the fight against i'm
perialist war, against fascism and
for the liberation Of colonial
peoples. We are confident you will
succeed in transforming the
league into a mass fighting Y. C.
L., under the leadership of the
Young Communist International,
and win the toiIerS of both con-
tinents under the leadership of
the Communist Parties for Sow
let America"
A growth Of the Young Pioneers
from 1000 at the time of the last
Y. c. L. convention to 10000 at the
present time, was reported by Com
rede Ksplan who spoke on work
among children. The circulation of
the Young Pioneer" now averages
over $4,000. Comrade Kaplan de-
scribed the young Pioneer" as the
best magazine for children in the
world revolutionary movement.
1--WE have made a great change
since our last convention" he said.
Then we were still unclear. We
are beginning to break through our
sectarianism and our bad mistakes.
We are laying the base for mass
federation of workers and farmers
children's organizations" He said
there were $50 leaders in the Young
Pioneers, most of them more ma
ture than at the time Of the last
convention. A leaders publication,
"The Workers Child" is now is
sued regularly. 1.-THE Young Pho
neers," he said, must become the
leaders Of the children in the
schools. We cannot force our view
point down the Threats of the chill
den. We know what we want. We
must find what interests the child
and infuse class viewpoint and I'M
Outstanding into those interesting
activities and games. We must find
the forms of activity, the games, etc.
which at the same time will teach
them the elementary lessons of the
class struggle. Further progress de-
ponds on the Y. c. L. giving day-to-
day guidance and leadership to the
Young Pioneers"
kilograms of greeting were sent
