| Workers Party Denounces Costly Reception for Hungarian White "THOUSANDS TO BE ue WASTED AS CITY'S JOBLESS STARVE Terrorist Butchers to Arrive Thursday The Workers (Communist) Party, New York District, yesterday issued a statement calling attention to the preparations Mayor Walker and the Tammany Hall administration is mak- ing to greet the 500 Hungarian fas- cists now on their way to America to attend the unveiling of the statue of Louis Kossuth, Hungarian patriot, on Riverside Drive here. The statement points out that while thousands of jobless workers and their families are starving thousands of dollars will be spent to greet rep- resentatives of a government that is oppressing millions of Hungarian workers. Silk Hat Mayor. The statement follows: “Jimmie Walker, the silk-hat may- or, has just mobilized the entire po lice force of the city to break a pos sible strike of the traction worker: and to protect the scabs and the ili gotten profits of the traction trus Walker’s strikebreaking police are a ways on hand when workers are t be clubbed at the command of the bosses. “Many thousands of unemployed workers are walking the streets of New, York City today starving and homeless. The richest city in the world has no money for the unem- ployed. Cold, hunger and exposure is their lot, Their Hands Are Stained. “But Jimmie Walker has plenty of money for an elaborate welcome for a delegation of criminals represent- ing the bloody regime of Horthy, the cruel tyrant of Hungary. “Eleven years after the war “to make the world safe for democracy,” the same gang of patriots open the doors of the ¢ity to the blackest tyr- ants of Europe, whose hands are stained with the life blood of thou- sands of workers and farmers. The same Wall Street gang which sent our boys to the trenches to safeguard their profits now import a bunch of | cut throats who come here to collect millions of American dollars with which to carry on their bloody work, millions of dollars with which to en- slave and crush the workers and ~ farmers of Hungary, and lower the woe living standards of those who toil throughout the world. Use Money For Jobless. “Workers of New York! Demand that these representatives of murder and oppression leave the country. Demand that the money for barids and parades be utilized to relieve the suf- ferings of the unemployed. Down with fascist terrorism, Down with the murderous rule of Wall Street. Long live the solidarity of the workers of Hungary and America.” The real purpose behind the un- veiling is to spread propaganda in this country in support of the Horthy government, by playing upon senti- ment for Kossuth. The delegation has been granted permission to enter this country thru the influence with the U.S. state department of Count Szechenyi, fascist Hungarian am- bassador at Washington. An Appeal Issued. Appealing to all labor and liberal organizations against this delegation from the Horthy terrorist regime in Hungary, the Anti-Horthy League has issued the following appeal to New York workers and liberals to at- tend a protest mass meeting here next Thursday. “The enemies of the ideals of Kos- suth, those who have been fighting all the time against the ideals of the rev- olution of 1848, will arrive in the United States on the 80th anniver- sary of the abolition of feudalism. “Among them will be a member of ‘Tel.
