DELEGATION 0 SOVIET UNION Important That Facts of U.S. S. R. Be Told to American Workers NEW YORK, N. Y.—The New York District Secretariat of the Communist Party has issued the following state- ment regarding the delegation of 50 American workers to the Soviet Union, “The Friends of the Soviet Union is organizing a workers delegation to send to the Soviet Union in order that these workers with their own eyes may see what is taking place in the Fatherland of the working calss. At a time when the United States Government is considering an em- bargo against Soviet products, at a time of extensive preparation for war against the Soviet Union, at a time of every kind of provocation in all countries regarding alleged “atroci- ties” in the Soviet Union, it is most. important that the workers of the United States of basic industry go to the Soviet Union so that they may | see what is taking place in that country. Bosses Fear Success “The tremendous up-building of | socialism in the Soviet Union, the successful completion of the first Five-Year Plan and the embarkment upon the second Five-Year Plan are not only filling the capitalists with fear, but at the same time are arous- ing the wonder and admiration of the workers all over the world. At a time of the deepest economic crisis in the capitalist countries, that the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union should be able under the lead- ership of the Commmunist Party to build up this new system, even though with difficulty, is impressing the minds of American workers as well as the workers of other coun- tries, and therefore they wish to see what is going on there, From Basic Industry “The Friends of theh Soviet Union, District New York, is sending dele- gates from heavy industry and from big shops t o the Soviet Union. The delegates will be from, the General Electric of Schenectday, Singer Sew- ing Machine plant, Anaconda Copper Company, at Hastings, “Amalgam- ated” Clothing Company of New York and a Negro longshoreman. “Meetings are being held in and around these plants, but it is neces- sary that the workers all over the District gather funds so that this delegation may be able to go te the Soviet Union without any financial handicap. . Report Back “These workers upon their return will hold meetings all over the Dis- trict, explaining to the workers who have sent them and to the vast masses of workers, organized an@ un- organized, members of the revolu- Foster to Speak On Scottsboro Case At Brighton Beach Fri. NEW YORK.—William Z. Foster will speak at 3034 Ocean Parkway, Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, N. Y., next Friday evening, 8 p.m., April 1, on the Scottsboro case. The decision of the Supreme Court of Alabama is that these innocent Scottsboro boys must burn on May 13. In spite of conclusive evidence of their innocence the Supreme Court of Alabama has upheld the death vtr- dicts of this crude and vicious frame- up. This decision will go down in his- tory along side the Dred Scott deci- sion of the U. S, Supreme Court in 1856, declaring that a Negro cannot be looked upon as a human being, but is only a chattel, no different from a piece of furniture. All Negro and white workers are urged to attend the apove meeting in Brighton Beach and learn from Com. rade Foster of the latest developments of the case. Young Workers to Protest Against Guatemala Terror NEW YORK, N. ¥.—The Down- town Section of the Young Commu- nist League will stage a mass demon- stration in front of the Guatemalan consulate, 17 Battery Place, Thurs- day, March 31st, 12 noon, to protest the murdering and jailing of thou- sands of militant revolutionary workers, young workers and peasants of Guatemala and Salvador. The capitalist class of Guatemala and Salvador, not content with mur- dering our Comrade Wainwright, a leader of the workers and peasants of Guatemala, is holding in jail thousands of revolutionary workers, young workers and peasants for daring to fight against the miserable conditions and virtual peonage that they have to bear both from their own bosses and the agents of Amer- ican and British Imperialism. Young workers, the fight of the workers and peasants of Guatemala and Calvador is your fight. ‘Young workers, demonstrate in front of the Guatemalan consulate, 17 Battery Place, Thursday, March 31st, at 12 o'clock noon.

LABOR SPORT | TOURNAMENT Compete for Place In Chicago Counter Olympics The Counter-Olympic basketball elimination tournament will get under way in New York, Saturday, April 2, This event is the opening gun in the trials for the Interna- tional Workers Athletic Meet, to be held in Chicago this summer. About forty teams will engage in an all-day tournament to decide the championships i neach borough. Bor~ ough champs will meet to decide the city champions, who will, in turn, meet the champs of Philadelphia and New England to decide regional su~ premacy. The regional winners will compete in the international finals in Chicago as one of the features of the International Workers Athletic Meet. The workingclass athletes compet- ing in this meet are doing so on the basis of a struggle against the Olym- pics to be held in Los Angeles this summer. ‘They recognize that the Olympics are a stage for specially trained cir~ cus performers, used by the bosses to keep the minds of young workers off their grievances, and to whip up a national chauvinist’ and war spirit among them. They see also that the state government which is playing a major part in the preparations for the Olympics is the same state gov- ernment that conducts a vicious campaign of terror against militant workers, and has been keeping Mooney and Billings in jail for 16 years on. a nobvious frame-up; that the Soviet Union has not been in- vited to the Olympics, and that the boss policy of jim-crowism is carried out in Olympic competition. All worker-sportsmen should rec- ognize this anti-workingclass nature of the Olympics and should join the campaign against it by competing in the events of the International Workers Athletic Meet.
