Chincco Commies Establish
Huge Youth Orgahization
Honskoox (UJ9 Two mam
moth youth organizations have
been eatabliahed by the Chinese
Communists to enable them to
bring op youngsters in the Com
munist tradition.
- They are the All China Demo
cratic Youth Federation, which
takes in most of the country's
teen agers and even some be
low that age and the New
Democratic Youth League, an
. elite corps of 9,000,000 young
sters in training to become party
members when they reach 18
years of age.
The NDYL is often described
as the "nucleus" of the bigger
and less exclusive Youth Fed
eration. Five members of the
National Presidium of the
ACDYF. including the Chairman
Liao Ch'engchih and the vice-
chairman, Liu Tao-sheng, are on
the Presidium of NDYL.
To Bo Sparkplugs
This style of organization
holds m local chapters, where
NDYL members are expected to
be the sparkplugs of the youth
movement-
Once the NDYL's constitution
described it as a "mass organi
zation of progressive youth,"
but no more. It is now an elite
organization and that clause was
deleted from the constitution at
the last meeting.
According to its constitution,
the NDYL also "shall carry out
all its activities under the direct
leadership of the Communist
Party of China." All members
"must support the policy of the
CCP and be willing to strive
faithfully for the . . . gradual
transition to socialism under the
leadership of the party."
Big-Name Speakers
When the two organizations
have their annual conventions
they have just finished the 1953
stint they draw some of the
biggest names in the Peiping
Government to speak before
them. Liu Shao-chi, top theoreti
cian in the Government, and the
old warhorse. Gen. ,Chu Teh.
were speakers this year.
Liu Shao-chi's speech sounded
like a high school commence
ment address, vintage 1920. As
the "Lieutenant and reserve
force of the (Communist) party,"
Liu told League members they
should:
1- "Actively participate in the
construction of the Motherland,
bring into full play their initia
tive and creativeness, play a lead
ing role and exert an exemplary
effect on the broad masses of
Chinese youths."
Must Leara Catechism '
2. Learn their Communist cate
chism Marx. Engels, Lenin,
Stalin, Mao Tse-tung, and of
course Liu Shao-chi, who wrote,
among other things, scientific
and technical knowledge of the
Soviet Union."
3. "Consolidate your own or
ganization, for the purity and
solemnity for which you should
struggle . . . Learn to employ the
weapon of criticism and self
criticism to fight against all
undesirable phenomena."
4. Integrate the vigorously
promoted spirit of patriotism
and internationalism with the
great task of safeguarding and
constructing the Motherland and
the defense of world peace.'
Gay Spirit Fostered
That may seem like a big
order, and a dreary prospect for
youth. But the Communists have
also decreed that the youth of
China must also have fun,
whether they want to or not-
" While unlimitingly heighten
ing their political consciousness
and discipline, (youth) must yet
develop the vivacious, gay spirit
peculiar and natural to the
young," the Peoples Daily, offi
cial party organ in Peiping, said
in an editorial. Youth, it added
"must pay special attention to
sports and other cultural and
recreational activities.
The Communists also build up
international ties through their
youth organizations with foreign
delegates from the Soviet Union.
Korea, the insurgent government
of Indo-China, Poland, Czecho
slovakia, Bulgaria, Mongolia, In
donesia, Great Britain and Aus
tralia.
The two organizations also
named delegations of their own
to the Communist . sponsored
World Federation of Democratic
Youth. For the next year, they
will travel to similar national
meetings in other satellite coun
tries. . .
