Anti-conscription broadside, issued in June, 1940 by the Young Communist League of Los Angeles, linking FDR's proposal for the compulsory military training of American youth to Wall Street. "The proposal for compulsory military training is a declaration of war against the American people – against their living standards and democratic rights. This is the identical system Hitler forced upon the youth of Germany...COMPULSORY ARMY TRAINING FOR AMERICAN YOUTH IS THE FIRST STEP TO PUT INTO EFFECT THE M-PLAN – WALL STREET'S BLUE PRINT FOR FASCISM." The broadside concludes by encouraging young people to wire or write the White House and ask FDR to stop the conscription of American youth. Not separately listed in OCLC. 87350.
