Transcript | give place in their ranks to their most active elements and to those who are most devoted to the proletarian cause. The Young Communist Leagues understand thoroughly that they live in an enemy world and that white terror may at any time force them underground. They make continual preparations, technically and ideologically, for such an eventuality. Even if forced underground by the persecutions of reaction they strive to maintain at all times and by all means, their contact with, and their influence over, the masses.

The union of the revolutionary proletariat of the capitalist countries with the colored slaves of imperialism is one of the most important conditions of the victorious struggle. The increasing capitalist development of the largest colonial and semi-colonial countries has created the first con- T,°H u dlVision of classes-the working class on one hand and the bourgeois and feudal class on the other; the native laboring population has been aroused and the national revolutionary struggle becomes a struggle against the native feudalism and the native bourgeoisie. The condition of the young workers in these countries is even worse than the condition of the youth in the ruling countries.
