YOUNG "RED" ARMY.

CHILD DELEGATES AT:

CONFERENCE.

Between 40 and 50 child dete gates, aged between seven and 15, attended the first National Con ference of the Young Comrades, Lengue, the Junior Communist Movement, which opened last month at the Socialist Hall, High- er. Openshaw, Manchester.

The conforonco was faced withi an array of resolutions, which in- chiled the following subjects: "The coming struggle," "Tho economic struggle," "The school struggle," "The Press," and "The sins of the League."

The children, who came from all over the Kingdom, wore scarlet emblems of their party, and join- ed heartily in the singing of the Internationale, which opened the proceedings. They afterwards listened attentively to an address by their adult Chairman, Mr. D. F. Springhall.

The audience, armed with pen- cils and paper, made careful notes of the proceedings, and subse- quently adjourned for a visit to Belle Vue, the Manchestar 'Zoo.

Boy Speaker.

Comrade Baker, a bay of about 12, who spoke standing on a chair, read a letter from a soldier, in, which he stated that any man who joined the Army was a traitor to bis class. This was loudly appland- ed by the youngsters.

Mr. D. F. Springhall, who deg.. cribed the Young Comrades no the "Thin Arm of the Red Army," ape pealed to them to exert every effort in fighting the Imperialstic move- ment as represented, in the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides organiza- tions, and to shun all children's papers, which followed the same principle of fostering the Imperial- istic spirit.

He declared that far too long had the working clase sat idly by and allowed its children to become inoculated with, pro-Capitalistie idens, glorifying the Empire and

The glorifying war.

workers' children were being trained in a fashion which would lead them to enter factories and make them pre- pared to accept - low wages and bad conditions, which the Capit- alists imposed on workers at the present time..

Over 2,000,000 Strong.

The children's movement. he said, had passed the two million mark in its numbers, and he de- clared that it was the Young Com- rades influence in the schools which had been responsible for school strikes...

He urged children to remain away from school during indust- rial strikes, to help such strikes by organizing processions, „cte", and to force the local authorities to provide them with food and clothing.

The social revolution which the Communists intended to bring about, Në raid; could be materially assisted by the efforts of the Young Comrades in strongthening. the spirit of Communism in 'the selonis. The revolution would being changes in the schools and teaching methods, and if there was Astron Communist children's movement in the schools, both be fore and after the revolution, it would help the worker's Govern-" ment in educating wide circles of working-class children in the spirit and teaching of Communism.

The child delegates: confined', themselves mostly to reading re- ports ind taking notes. An in- teresting feature of the conférence was report attached to the agenda blandly" confessing weak- ness of the movement, and the complete failure of all their most cherished plans regarding it,
