The news of the murder of Comrade Enrico Muller, the secretary of the Young Communist League of Argenti- na and the responsible leader of the secretariat of the Young Communist International for South America is a severe blow for us. He was the best’ pioneer for the creation of the movement of the Young Communists in Argentina and the first who commenced a systematic work in ‘order to establish real*con- nections betwéen the various small Youth Leagues of Uruguay, Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Brazil. The Young Communist League of Argentina, which numbers _ several thousand members, ‘has, under the leadership of our comrade Mueller, greatly developed in the course of the past year. The forces of the Youth important meeting ‘to put | 1" rs. League have been: especially concen- trated in Buenos Aires, the most im- ,portant industrial center of the whole area of South America and which alone numbers two million inhabitants out of a totat of nine millions for the whole country. In October 1925 ‘the Young Com- munist League held its national con- gress, which constituted a stage in the building up of a mass Communist organization of the Youth in Argen- tina. = WORKEDS JUNG WORKERS LEAGUE The Young Communist League of Argentina _ ~ and the Death of Comrade Enrico Mueller + All methods of work among the working youth which were laid down by the international congresses, were there employed with the greatest in- telligence and with the best results: fight for the defense of the economic interests of the youth on the basis of a programme of demands and the fight against militarism are the two chief branches of the activity of the league. " Our comrades have set up a sport organization which numbers over a thousand members and has good pros- pects for the future. There also exist in Argentina vari- ous groups of young pioneers, and the comrades are making great efforts in order to develop this movement. They publish every month a _ children's newspaper, the last edition of which amounted to 25,000 copies. The Juventud Communist (Young * Communist) the monthly journal of the Young Communists has at pres- ent a circulation of over 3,000 copies. The Young Communist Interna- tional loses in Comrade Mueller one of its: best co-workers. We are certain that our Argentine comrades will courageously continue the struggle on the basis of the solid organization which has been created there under his active and intelligent leadership. Paul Crouch's Father Wishes Success to Revolutionary Work The: following letter was received by the national office from I. M. Crouch, the father to Paul Crouch. “Dear Comrades:—I am 79 years old.

We have sent affidavits and petitions to Alcatraz, Calif., ask- ing our son’s release on dependency, but nothing doing: Paul Crouch has asked International Labor Defense to help me which they are doing.
