in Message Paris, Mar. 20.
Following the initiative of the Young Christian Workers in sending a message of sympathy to the young workers of China, the Communists have decided to join ihe movement, thus accentuating their policy of "extending a hand" to Catholics.
M. Raymond Guyot, President of the Federation of Young Communists, declared, "Brothers of the Young Christian Workers, the fraternal and charitable hand extended to the martyred youth of China is the same as that of the young Communist, the young Socialist, and the young Re-Publican, Who, then, can oppose extending only one hand—the hand of French youth—to China, to Spain and to all suffering peoples?"
M. Renaud Jean, head of the Communist Parliamentary group, renewed his appeal to the French Catholics during the course of the last debate in the Chamber of Deputies.—Havas.
