youth, especially in the G. c. c.
camps, have forced the Roosevelt
government to finally officially
recognize the seriousness of unem-
ployment as a special problem of
the working youth. After millions
Of youth have suffered five long
years Of untold misery and slow
starvation-the Roosevelt 'Mobil-
ization for Human Needs" admins
tration proposes to study and in
vestigate" what can be done to help
the Iobless youth.
Through this Mobilization for
Human Needs" campaign. the
Roosevelt government is organizing
conferences and Youth Today
Hearings" throughout the country
with the cooperation of nine ma
tionsl bosses youth organizations.
These youth organizations are the
Boys Club of America, Boy Scouts
OF America, Camp Fire Girls, CATH
ole Youth Movement, Girl Scouts,
Jewish Welfare Board, Young Mems
Christian Association, Youn g
Women's Christian Association and
the National Federation of Settle
ments.

and the presidents of the above
mentioned youth organizations.
All Young Communist League or
CARNATIONS must at once take steps
to counterfeit this unprecedented
campaign of the Roosevelt govern
ment among the youth. The aim
OF this campaign is to win the
youth for the Roosevelt program
Of dollar-a-day slave camps, war
preparations and fascist formations.
We must expose the fact that the
bosses government has no real in
tention Of giving help to the unem-
ployed youth. For the past five
years the government has even re-
fused to recognize the plight of the
youth from the effects of unem-
ployment. We must win the youth
/ for the support of the Workers Un-
employment and Social Insurance
Bill. This is the only bill which
guarantees real relief, $40 to each
unattached youth and adequate re-
lief to all youth living with their
/ parents.
The following steps must be taken
at once by all Y. c. L. and Com
munist Party organizations:
Cd To activize all Y. C. L. mem
bers among the unemployed youth
through the Unemployment Coun-
ellis. special youth meetings and at
fractions. etc
~ To organize mass meetings
of iobless youth. draw up youth de-
mands for unemployed relief, and
elect delegations to go to these
Youth Relief Hearings to fight for
the Workers Unemployment and
Social Insurance Bill.
CD To approach with speakers
all youth organizations in your ter
ritory, Y.P.SL., Y.MCA., Y.W.CA.,
Boys Club, Students organizations,
for a united front struggle against
the demagogy of these Roosevelt
Youth Hearings" and for the
Workers Bill.
"a All district committees to is
sue statements to the press. issue
leaflets, hold meetings among the
youth on the meaning of these
Youth Hearings.
CD To stress need of immediate
youth unemployed relief in election
campaign.
