The clear-class nature of the case was shown when Municipal Judge Watson launched into an attack on the “Reds” at the time of the trial of Martin before him, and asked the defendant, “Do you believe in over- throwing the government?” Martin was given the limit. The his political beliefs were what he was on trial for. Refuses to Leave Town. Martin was giving the limit, The judge offered him freedom if he would promise to leave town before 6 p. m., and Martin refused. The judge then attacked W. G. Binkley, attorney for Martin, and demanded to know whether Binkley was a Southerner. When Binkley said he was, the judge declared, “I am ashamed to own you.” After the case was over the judge delivered a lecture to the Negro workers in the audience in the court room, warning them against “join- ing any organization to overthrow the government.” Judge Not Spotless. Local workers, and particularly the older inhabitants of the town consider the case aggravated by the cheracter of Judge Watson. He is known as an “old rounder,” and his escapades while under’ the in- fluence of anti-Volsteadian bever- ages are a town byword. They say Watson was once mixed in a bawdy house, and at that time was accused of killing a Negro pros- titute. He wiggled out of the case through the influence of his father. This is the type of judge that the Southern employers use to sentence honest workers on flimsy pretexts because they dare to organize work- ers. Tell the Advertiser—“I Saw Your Ad in The Daily Worker.” “Labor” Regime Fakes (Continued from Page One) the MacDonald government con- tinues to carry on in the naval con- ference, and by grandstanding some alleged “victory” there—also on the basis of imperialist interest as dic- tated by the Tories, continue in pow- er by fooling the masses. On Monday the government was attacked by the liberal leader, Lloyd George, who is anxious to pose as a friend of labor by shedding cro- codile tears over the unemployed. He pointed out that the number of unemployed who are registered (and great masses are not even regis- tered) had grown from 1,100,000 since the “labor” party took power last May, to 1,539,000 at present. While passing bouquets to J. H. Thomas, the “labor” party’s “Lord Privy Seal,” Lloyd George stuck a pin in Thomas alleged “remedy” for unemployment by saying: “The Lord Privy Seal is concen- trating on the rationalization of in- dustry as a cure for unemployment. But by that every process he is in- creasing employment.” Lloyd George, correct enough in ing better himself than the liberal party’s fake “solutions” of “back to the land, afforestation, reclamation of waste land and road ‘construc- tion”—which are so much nonsense. The fact is that unemployment in England as in other capitalist coun- tries cannot be cured except by ov- erthrowing capitalism, and neither the liberal nor the “labor” parties will do that in England, but the Eng- lish workers led by the Communist Party.

This was readily admitted by many of the delegates today. Due to the ever-sharpening rival- vies of the imperialist powers they cannot even come to an agreement on building their war naval arms. Further complications now arise over the defeat of the MacDonald “labor” government over the coal bill. The talk about a “security pact,” is merely the diplomatic covering of the various imperialist powers for alliance for the next world war. i) “The Communist Party that has! silent.
