Ilma, Viola
And now youth!
Robert O. Ballou, New York. 1934, 56p., boards with dj pasted down by publisher, dj chipped along spine, inscribed "To Heywood Broun from Viola Ilma." "The founder of the American Youth Congress analyzes youth problems in the depression, urging youth to support Roosevelt's New Deal as an alternative to traditional capitalist democracy, communism, and fascism. She also urges youth to fight against war, though she opposes isolationism and favors collective action. Noting that Nazism, fascism, and communism gained their strength in Europe from youth, she calls for mobilization of American youth and opposition to totalitarianism. (The author withdrew from AYC when a coalition of communists and socialists won control.)" *Seidman I2
