The erative necessity of imme- dia realizing such a united front of action between the Socialist and Communist youth, grows more pres: ing every day. In the light of these recent developments, which we greet. as tive steps forward in forging the invincible united front of So- cialist and Communist youth, your er to the letter in which we tried to speed up the possibility of a ng a successful united front anti-fascist youth action on Oct. 12th against the Italian fascist stu- dent demonstration, comes as a distinct disappointment to us. In fact of the progress already made in the direction of unity, your com- munication can only have the ef- fect of hindering the fulfillment of the most fervent desire of both young Communists and young So- Cialits for united action. ‘ricd te Remove Obstacles “Ta 6: ter to you we attempted the few remaining ob- 1 stand in the way between the LERMAN BROS.

The Y.C.L. cannot } allow the fascist representatives of bloody Mussolini to spread their propaganda without hearing from the working class and student youth of this country. We greet the determination of the Y.P.S.L. to likewise demonstrate against these bloody representatives. | “To achieve the greatest effect, however, it is imperative that our organizations, the largest and most impor.ant youth political organiza- | tions in New York, come to an understanding and unite for this | action. We are certain that such a | united front action will pave the |way for future similar actions of such power and significance that they will open the floodgates of united class actions, not only be- tween Socialists and Communists, but between the -great masses of non-communist and non-socialis: | youth, such as in connection with the coming marine strike, the anti- war demonstrations on Noy. bth, Armistice Day, ete. Bar Renegade Grouplets | “We stated in our letter to you that the only obstacle standing in the way of united front action be- tween our organizations was your proposal that we unite with the counter-revolutionary Lovestone and Trotzky cliques. We stated that we could not enter into united fron‘ agreements with the renegades from | Communism—the Loves‘onites and \rificing our revolutionary principles and deceiving the masses of youth. These counter-revolutionary groups are the vilest enemies of the work- ing class. Their main purpose is to |slander the Soviet Union, to strug- |gle against the Communist Party, but raise them as obstacles against other groups in the united front which we have proposed? “ ‘We raise these questions not for the purpose of opening old sores,| but to determine how serious or how | frivolous is your attitude to the | united front which we have made.’ S. P. Youth Will Not Agree | “We are quite sure that the masses of Socialist youth most cer- tainly will not agree with the impli- cation that they are identical with the counter-revolutionary Trotsky- | ites and Lovestoneites. We are quite sure that the masses of Social- ist and Communist youth do not | relish such an attempt to place| them in the same category with the| enemies of the working class—the| Lovestoneites and Trotskyites. We! are sure that they want to disasso- ciate themselves and not identify themselves with these enemies of| the-working class. “We are also certain the’ ihe masses of Socialist youth who are anxious to enter into united front| action with their Communist class | brothers are not supremely inter- ested in why the Y.C.L. is willing to unite with the Y.P.S.L. but does not want unity with the counter- | revolutionary renegade groups. What they are above all else inter- | ested in is the fact that the Y.C.L. does want unity with the Y.P.S.L.| We are also certain that they can-| not understand the insistence with which you raise the question of unity between the Y.CL. and the! renegade groups as a necessary con- dition for unity between the Y.C.L. and the Y.P.S.L. Test In Action “Tf as you state, your only pur- pose in raising these questions is} to determine how serious or how| frivolous is the attitude of the| Y¥.C.L. towards the united front, | then why can you not conclude a| united front agreement with the| Y.C.L. for joint struggle against the attacks of the capitalist class upon the working class youth, and test in ction the seriousness or frivolity of both organizations? We know of no other way of making this test, Simple statements to this effect are proof of nothing.

At the present time, fifteen years | after the formation of the Com- munist Party, we can say that un- doubtedly one of its greatest con- tributions to the working class in this country is the fact that it has | seized upon the key which has opened ihe doors of the revolution- ary movement wide to the Negro! people. It has had to overcome numerous subtle influences of the whole atmosphere of “white super- jority”; it has had to overcome a} deep distrust of white workers | among the Negro masses, nurtured by centuries of oppression at the | ands of the white ruling class and | its supporters among the ranks of the Negro upper class. The Com- munists have established their posi- tion as the uncompromising cham- pions of working class solidarity and of Negro rights, each insepar- | able from the other, Wherever one hears of white and Negro workers fighting shoulder to shoulder in a strike, for unemployment relief, for social and political rights, one may of the Communist Party. The pene‘ration of the Party into the | South, its rooting and growth there | —in the heavy industrial center of | Birmingham, Alabama, and in the textile centers of the Carolinas as well as in the plantations of the Alabama Black Belt — have shown conclusively that at last the strug- gle for Negro liberation has been taken to the bosom of the Amer- ican revolutionary proletariat. This, in itself, is a historic achievement which marks the end of a whole period and the begin- ning of another in the development of the revolutionary movement in this coun‘ry. This achievement is arraying a mass of great revolu- tionary power against the onslaught of capitalism, against the Roosevelt drive upon the workers, against the gathering forces of fascism, against the danger of war. The Communist Party of the United States is able to record this achievement on its fifteenth anni- versary precisely because it is not | an isolated, narrow, national party, drawing merely upon its own ex- periences and its own abilities, re- peating old mistakes again and | again out of inability to escape from | its past. It is a part of a World | Parity, the Communist Interna- | tional, which is the embodiment of world revolutionary experience, the central exchange through which all wires pass gathering and transmit- ting experiences of all revolution- ary movements in the past and in the present from and to all parts of the world. This International has to its credit the consolidation of a suc- cessful proletarian revolution, the building of Socialism in the Soviet Union, as well as revolutionary movemen's of long standing throughout the world. It was able to help the American Party, on the basis of its long experience, in over- coming bourgeois race theories, in | throwing off its back the deaden- | ing weight of opportunist heritage | from the Socialist Party and to} reach clarity and understanding on | the Negro question. ment in the United States in re- | lation to the Negro.

P. S. L. wishes to test again what has already been tested, then, why does it not carry through the proposed united front action with the Y. C. L. on Oct. 12? If on the other hand, the Y. P. S. L. re- frains from uniting with the Y¥.C.L. on this occasion, merely because it does not understand why the Y¥.C.L. is willing to conclude a united front agreement with it and not with the counter - revolutionary renegade groups, then no honest voung worker can be blamed for inclining to the belief that the City Commit- tee of the Y.P.SLL. is indulging more in a desire to involve itself in end- Jess discussion than in realizing the united front of action. “On the same grounds, the City Commitiee could refrain from achieving the united front with the Y¥.C.L. merely because it did not un- derstand why the Y.C.L. takes a certain position on any other prin- cipled question on which it differs from the Y.PAS.L., and if it refused to unite with the Y.C.L. until it understood these questions, then the united front would be postponed in- definitely until every single prin- cipled difference between the Y.C.L. and the Y.P.S.L, had been discussed. “Nevertheless, in the interest of eliminating this artificially created | unclarity, which seems at present to restrain the Y.P.S.L. from the united front, it is only necesgary to state the following: Differences In Policy “The ‘charges’ which you claim | we raise against you are those that/| arise out of the differences in the program and the policies of our two organizations. It is precisely in order to overcome the division in the ranks of the youth brought. way for 4 .e rise to power of fascism, as in Germany and Austria. This} policy is what we call social fascist.) Our characterization of it flows from | our basic principles. We will not} and we cannot change our position | on this question, “It is not true, however, that we have ever classed the members and| followers of the Y.P.9.L. as social fascists. On the contrary, we have always considered them our clas: brothers. We consider that whil the Socialist youth have as yet fun-! damental disagreements with the| Communists, they are moving in the direction of revolutionary class ac- tion. Counter-Revolutionary Groups “On the other hand, we do not consider the Trotskyites and Loye- stonites in the same category. These despicable people long azo! left or rather were kicked out of} the revolutionary movement. They are moving not in the direction cf revolutionary action, but of coun- ter-revolution, in fact, they have already arrived in the camp of the counter-revolutionists. “The Y.C.L. is not interested in a united front with anybody and everybody, The Y.C.L. is interested in a united front which will in- volve the broad masses of youth, regardless of their political differ- ences, in successful common struggle against the common enemy on im- mediate issues. If in order to more quickly unite these large masses of youth, it becomes necessary at the same time to unite with certain or- ganizations or with certain people, which, or who, have policies which we believe to be fundamentally false and dangerous to the inter- ests of the working class, then we do so, not for the sake of abstract unity with these organizations or people, but for the sake of the united front struggle of the mass of members or followers of these or- | ganizations or people.

This united front with the renegade groups would be a force not for unity but for further disunity. It would simply and solely be a united front between the YCL and tne agents of the counter-revolution against every interest of the working ciass youth. “We have already had sufficient, with the renegade groups to know that their purpos? in entering the united front is merely to act as disrupters and Splitters. We can point to the ne- gotiations for a united National Youth Day demonstration, on May 30, as an example of how the Trot- Skyites acted as the splitting force preventing unity between Socialist and Communist youth. We can point to the actions of the Trotsky- ites in the First American Youth ence for the peace policies of the Soviet Union by sianderous at- tacks against it. Surely, our work- ing class comrades, the Young | Socialists must realize that it is jonly in the interest of the working \class as a whole to refuse to have jany. dealings with the counter- revolutionary Troiskyites and Love- stoneites. Destroy Artificial Barriers “We hope that this statement of jour position will serve to remove |that lack of understagding which, according to the letter of the YPSL, is responsible for the hesitancy of the YPSL in uniting with the YCL on Oct. 12. “We repeat again that the YCL is determined and will continue to fight for united action on Oct. 12 against the Italian fascist student demonsiration. it will continue to fight for united action of all other |immediate questions of the class | struggle, such as in connection with the textile strike, the coming me- rine strike, the anti-war demon- stration on Noy. 11, Armistice Day, etc. Do not let these artificial b: riers stand in the way of achic ing such unity.
