if Yokinen Based On His Rejection of Boss Poison of Race Prejudice, | dim Crow Government Exposes Its Hatred| » of Negro Masses—Workers Must Defeat Persecution ‘Ww YORK.—That ment’s move to deport August Yok- inen is directly based on his accep- nce of the Communist program for full equality of the Negro masses and his rejection at the mass trial in New York of the boss poison of race hatred is openly admitted by the United States Government. V. G. Macintosh, immigration in- spector at the final hearing in Ellis Island recommended Yokinen’s de- portation on the ground that “the alien acknowledging the error of his ways in not obeying the Communist Party rules quotes him as saying that is repentant and in full sympathy the said Communist Interna- and Communist Party of the A. doctrines and teachings.” For this and his membership in the Communist Party—although he is not now a member of the Party having been expelled for the white chauvin- istic tendencies he repudiated at the mass trial—Yokinen is to be deported the government of the lynchers! Isaac Schoor, attorney for the In- he by ternational Labor Defense, repre- sented Yokinen at the hearings in Ellis Island. The entire Record of Hearing as presented to thé Department of La- bor in Washington from the immi- gration department at Ellis Island bases the proceedings to deport Yokifien on the ground of his mem- bership in the Communist Party. While this militant worker is charged with belonging to an “organization advocating the overthrow of the gov- éfnmient by force and violence” there is no attempt to prove that Yokinen ever committed or advocated force and violence. The entire procedure, according to the Record of Hearing is an atterhpt on the part of the gov- ernment to outlaw the Communist Party, thereby crippling the working class in all its activities. The Department of Labor, accord- ing to the International Labor De- fense, is forging ahead in its attempt to carry out the Fish Committee re- port in deporting workers for their militant activities. The ‘beginning was madé on the Pacific Coast where Federal judges ate ruling to the ef- fect that membership in left wing or- ganizations is sufficient ground for deportations. The Yokinen case is one of the first attempts on part of immigration officials to make this a nation-wide basis for deportation. Into the records at Ellis Island, as grounds for Yokinen’s deportation, the government filed copies of the Daily Worker and the Program of the Communist International. V. G. Macintosh, government inspector, read into the records as one of the first reasons for deporting Yokinen, the following excerpt from the pro- gram of the International: “Imperialism is therefor moribund and décaying capitalism. It is the final stage of development of the capitalist system. It is the threshold of world social revolution. Hence, in- ternational proletarian revolution log- ically emerges out of the conditions of development of capitalism gen- erally, and out of its imperialist phase in particular. The capitalist system as a whole is approaching its final THURSDAY — . Council 17, Brighton Beach Wil hold a ‘Red “Cedar” at: 140 Neptune Ave. at 8.30 p,m.

The government openly de- clares in this Yokinen record that because this militant worker admitted his mistake in keeping Negro workers out of a hall and still adheres to the principles of the Communist Party therefore he should be deported. The International Labor Defense calls upon all workers of all races to rally behind Yokinen and stop the terror of the ruling class in their attempt to deport any worker who dares to organize with his class against un- employment, wage cuts and the im- perialist war danger.” PROTEST BLOODY | MACHADO'S RULE) Many Workers at Anti-| Imperialist Meet | NEW YORK.—Several hundred Cu- | ban, Latin American, Indian and Negro workers attended a mass meet- ing against the butcher Machado’s dictatorship in Guba. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Cuban section of the Anti-Imperialist League, Friday, March 27th, at the Harlem Casino. A number of new members was obtained for the Anti-Imperialist League. The speakers were: Ibanez, chairman; Moreat, secretary of the Anti-Imperialist League; Alexander, @ Negro worker; Rodriguez, a Cuban workét; Machado, a Venezuelan worker who faces deportation and death at the hands of the dictator of Venezuela, Gomez; Gannes and San- chez of the Cuban section of the Anti-Imperialist League. Enthusiastic support was given the slogan: “Down with the Machado- Wall Street dictatorship! Support the | fight led by the workers’ and peas- ants’ revolutionary organizations!” DOWN THURINGIA FASCISTS IN DIET | Fascist Party (Cable by Inprecorr) BERLIN, April 1—Today a non- confidence vote against the fascist minister Of the interior, Frick, was/ adopted by the votes of the Socialists and Communists as well as the Dem- ocraté and the Peoples Party, in the} Thuringian Diet, overthrowing the government. The last minute efforts of Hitler, leader of the fascists, failed to avert the catastrophe. The inner party fascist struggle has begun. Hitler deposed Stennés, lead- er of the Berlin murder gangs. It is rumored in Berlin that the leader of the fascists, Goebbels, also was deposed. ‘The fascists charged with the mur- der of the Communist worker, Schir- mer, in Charlottenburg, were ac- quitted for “lack of evidence.” The fascist Conrad, charged with the murdér of the worker, Klassen, was sentenced to the Cologne prison for six years and six months of hard labor, The Communist daily newspaper in Stuttgart was confiscated today on the alleged ground of insulting the church, The measure was taken un- der the emergency order. A strike of 2,000 builders began to- day under revolutionary leadership ih JOBLESS LEADERS NOW ON TRIAL Gordon-Dalton-Lawson Case In Chattanooga CHATTANOOGA, 'Tenn., April 1— Lawson and Harry Gordon, leaders Of the wnémployment demonstfation of 3,000 here Feb. 10, started yester- day with the selection of a jury. a, jury was not completed yester- lay. ‘These workers are organizers of the Unemployed Council and of the ‘Trade Union Unity League.

Saunders NEW YORK.—In order to clarify the position of Comrade Vera Saun- ders whose position was misunder- stood when she refrained from vot- ing on & certain motion in the Bureau of Section Four, without at the same time clarifying her position, the Sec- tion Committee of Section Four has issued the following statement in view of misunderstandings arising out of the fact that Comrade Saunders’ action in refraining from voting was quite properly mentioned in the ar- ticle by Comrade Harold Williams on White Chauvinism in the Harlem Section. The Section Committee declares that the minutes of the investigation of the case of white chauvinism in Unit 5, Section 4 (now Unit 10), show that Cothrade Saunders voted in fa- vor of the motion “that the Unit cannot whitewash their white chau- vinistic tendenciés by blaming Com- } rade Harold Williams’ wrong ap- proach.” She abstained from voting on the motion, “that Conirade Wil- Mams as section organizér was cor- rect in immediately attending the meeting and bringing up the ques- tion before them.” Comrade Saun- dérs sincé then admits that Com- rade Williams was correct in imme- diately attending the Unit meeting and bringing up the quéstion before therm, The record of Comrade Vera Saun- dets in fegard to her activity shows she by no means has any white chauvinistic tendendiés, Section Committee, Section 4, District 2, Communist Patty U.S.A.
