Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-09-24

INHIS is obviously a Widerange application OF
L the Trojan horse tactic which Dmitroif
eXpounded in Moscow in 1880, speaking officially
as secretary of the Communist International.
The new enterprise means, naturally, that
lot Of young societies will - unless they are
discreet and well counseled - find their ranks
intltrated and their leadership directed by Com
munist-trained Young Communists, many of
Whom will publicly deny that they Communists,
The "innOcents' among them will thus he
inveigled into supporting Communist undertake
ings operating under nome Communist expectations.
ITO SET the movement under way. the Young
L Communist League will hold its national con-
vention in October when the new program will
he adopted.
Under whatever name it then assumes, the
league will present itself, for propaganda pnr-
poses, as defending democracy" and opposing
fascism.
BUT IT WILL NOT BE ANTI COMMUNIST
IN ANY OF IFS ACTS OR BTFERANGES.
ITS president, Max Weiss has written for the
L September issue of 4Fhe Communist q long
article describing the venture under the typcally
COMMUNIST title, Toward a New Anti-Fascist
Youth Organization
In order to insinuate its influence, the
organization will - Weiss reports - defend all
"minorities."
1t will fight Jim Crowism" and "anti-Semit-
ism and "antl-CathOllclSm.
Thereby it will appeal to all groups that
stand for tolerance and religious faith to FIGHT
ANTI-COMMUNISM which is the Communist
method of swindling them into SUPPORTING
COMMUNISM.
M AKING an elaborate declaration, Weiss says,
4Nl regarding communism:
1T is clear that an organization such as the
one we are discussing in this article will be COM
rNla indo donfo IF thaC ct hOtn
Organizatonaly and politically
This does not mean, however, that the
organization can or should be neutral on the
question of Red-baitng in the face of the
Fascist-inspired anti-C Communist crusade.
Quite the contrary, by its very nature and
in full compliance with its nOnpartisan democratic
character, it must MlLITANTLY CHAMPION
the principle of the full citizenship of the Com
munst Party in the democratic life of our country.
WTNHIS is not task for the Communists alone
"Anti-cOmmunsm is as much a Fascist,
anti-democratic doctrine as is ant-Semitism, anti
Negro prejudice or anti-C Catholicism :.
THE TASK OF FIGHTING ANTI-COM-
MUNISM WITH ALL THAT THIS IMPLIES IN
THE WAY OF RED-BAITING AND EXCEP-
TIONAL ANTI COMMUNIST LAWS AND
PRACTICES, is NOT \ TASK WHICH SHOULD
BE LEFT TO THE COMMUNISTS ALONE.
1T is THE OBLIGATION OF ALL
DEMOCRATIC FORCES AND MUST BE
UNDERTAKEN BY EVERY ORGANIZATION
WHICH DIRECTLY STANDS UPON PATRI-
OTTO PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY.
AS such, the youth organization which we
discuss must miltantly champion the rights of
Communists to full citizenship in our democratic
life"
THERE are many effective ways of refuting
i this hypocritical nonsense that communism
should be regarded as patriotic doctrine
Attorney General Biddle provided an answer
when he ruled, in the Harry Bridges deportation
proceeding that the Communist Party is IAN
organization that advises, advocates and teaches
the overthrow by force and violence, of the gov
eminent of the United States"
Karl Marx provided an answer nearly 100 years ago
when he wrote, IN the Communist Manifesto
The Communists disdain conceal their views and
aims. They openly declare that their ends can be at
tanned only by the forcibIe overthrow of all existing
social institutions"
How many youth organizations Will the Young
