He refuted the political standpoint of the right- wing renegades and declared that the development of Swedish capital- ism is very definitely imperialist. In particular the Kreuger match trust » has developed into an international concern and financed numerous anti- soviet fascist States, such as Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Esthonia, Rou- mania and Yugoslavia, Sweden’s main industries are defi- nitely export industries and it is therefore quite logical when Swed- ish captalism seeks to consolidate “DEMONSTRATE, é IN WASH, NY, Workers Fight Terror in Mexico (Continued from Page One) against the reign of terror in Mex- ico. Mexican workers were in the crowd. The demonstrators marched seven blocks to the Mexican consulate where another demonstration took place. The workers displayed resis- tance to the police who attacked, * and eleven of the demonstrators were arrested. All were later re- leased, except one worker, Sklar, who is being held for déportation. Jessie Shulen, a Young Pioneer, was held in the Juvenile Detention Court. * * * Two Demonstrations in New York. . Staging two demonstrations, at different points in the city, resist- ing police attacks at both meeting places, and while parading from one to the other, gathering strength every minute as workers, especially Negro workers and Porto Rican workers, joined during the parade, over @ thousand militants denounced the brutal fascist dictatorship in Mexico of the Ortiz Rubio govern- ment. Speakers from the Commu- nist Party, from the militant needle trades, shoe, textile, food and other industrial unions called for unceas- ing war against the murderers of Mexican workers, against the gov- ernment of business men and land- lords in Mexico, and against their American capitalist backers and al- lies. They called also for war against the fascist terror in the South, symbolized now in the kidnap- ping of Totherow and the jailing and * attempted lynching of Caudle. Crowd Gathers. The first meeting was opened at 110th St. and Fifth Ave., about 3:30 p. m., under the chairmanship of Beatrice Siskind of the All America Anti-Im) list League, U. 8. Sec- tion. Placards were displayed and the: crowd began to gather, also the By time the crowd was ready to march through the streets, there were some twenty police, act- "ing nasty, but not clubbing much yet. The police followed the parade, “which proceeded with placards dis- played and singing, towards 113th St. and Lenox Ave., in the heart of a Latin-American residential section. On the way the police attempted to split the crowd when it crossed a ‘They let half go over, and then assailed the second half to break it up. The trick didn’t work. After some shoving and clubbing, the marchers smothered the police attack and swarmed over the street. co Out pee, a More uniformed police came, a1 a number of plain clothes detectives.

Swedish capitalism is no longer able to corrupt the upper sections of the workers by paying higher wages, or at least it is not able to do so to the same extent as formerly and therefore it strives to consoli- date its position by wide-scale at- tacks upon “he workers, for instance | the struggles in the mines and in| the paper-making industry, In this it has the support of the Swedish | social democrats. | Linderot then dealt with the slan- |derous attacks of the renegades upon the Communist International and declared that the task of the con- gress is to expose all errors and | weaknesses through stern self- jeriticism and to build up a really Bolsheyist party under the leader- | ship of the Communist International. | oe aoe e lines and demonstrations, and some | detectives. were ignominously kicked out of the audience, despite wailing | | proestations that they “only wanted | (to Kear the spéaking.” The police | tried a few arrests, and the arrested | workers were promptly torn from} the blue coats and released. These | commotions around the outskirts of | the crowd did not stop the speaking. The real police attack came when the meeting had adjourned and most of the demonstrators had left. The remainder, especially those with placards, were clubbed, smashed with fists, arrested, and penned in doorways, The greatest brutality was directed against the Porto Rican, Asiatic and Negro workers. Flying wedges of massed proletari- ans broke the police ranks and freed many of them. Some cops lost their clubs, stars, caps, and portions of their uniforms. Police cars, not the “Black Maria” had been provided for women work- | ers. The arrested women refused to | enter. The tactic of the police was to kick the girls’ feet from under | {them, then grab them by head and | foot and try to fling them into the cars. Hete again a charge by close- locked groups of young workers smashed into the police rear, created a diversion, and some of the women were rescued, A list of the workers arrested, in addition to the chairman, Beatrice Siskind, had not yet been obtained when the Daily Worker went to press. ? pies Speakers at the meetings in- cluded: Fred “cal, Otto Hall, Rich- ard B. Moore, Gilert Green, Albert Moreau, Herbert Benjamin, Beatrice Siskind, and Barcelo, a Latin Amer- ican worker. Need Defense Corps. The statement of the Bureau of District No. 2 of the Communist Party of the U. 8. A., after denounc- ing the political issue of the demon- stration, declares that the police tactic of trying to take vengeance on the demonstrators afer the meet- ing had started to break up indi- cates the néed of well trained work- ers’ defense corps who will protect the workers against such cowardly attacks. | “Such a defense corps will make pe aye! hier hy dvagd anit & sport of clyl and beat- ing defenseless men and women workers as they did at the last and previous demonstrations and on the picket lines,” says the District Bureau.
