sey Luis, SA‘ URAL, Ae Intellectuals Call for Struggle Against MAY 1 CALL WARNS BOSSES 2 PREPARING A NEW WORLD WAR. Imperialist War in the Far East NEW YORK.—Informed by its in- ternational office that prominent working-class. leaders and intellec- tuals on the European continent, to- gether with the Anti-Imperialist League, have issued a manifesto call- ing for struggle against the Japanese imperialist invasion of the Asiatic continent, the Workers International Relief announced it will join the anti- war movement and secure additional | support for the manifesto here. Among those who signed the mani- festo on behalf of the Workers Inter- national Relief is Willi Munzenberg, | Communist member of the German | Reichstag and international secre- | tary of the W. I. R, | Signatories of the manifesto in-| elude outstanding political, trade | union and intellectual leaders of urope and Asia, and the Americas. The signatures of members of the League Against Imperialism include Mrs, Sun-Yat-Sen of China, Henri | Barbusse of France, Maxim Gorki of | the Soviet Union, S, Saklatvala, | Harry Pollit and Reginald Bridge-| man of Great Britain, Mary Adams, | Robert Dunn, Richard B, Moore for the United States and many others. The Workers International Relief | of the United States, will take steps to launch a similar campaign in t! country to get prominent leaders of | the workers and intellectuals to en- dorse and pledge support to the} joint manifesto. ‘The manifesto points ou the empe- rialist-robber nature of the war Japan is waging against the Man- churian and Chinese masses and its intrigues for military offensive against the Soviet Union. “A new and terrible world war is menacing the workers of the world, The war is already started by Japan | in China,” part, Telling of the purpose of the im- | perialist attack on China, the mani- “To try to destroy revolutionary the manifesto says in | } China, to dismember that country, to | jihterrupt the socialist construction in | the Soviet Union, to murder millions of workers, this is the program of the |imperialists to postpone the bank- ruptey of the senseless accursed capi- | talist system.” Calling for revolutionary struggle against imperialist war, the manifesto continues; “We appeal to all workers, peasants, | to the masses of the laboring people | | of al countries throughout the world, to raise a mighty protest against the war mongers and criminals.” BERKMAN TO GO ON HUNGER STRIKE UNLESS RELEASED BY MAY 8TH (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) she is held “for deportation to bloody Poland, where she would be in dan-~ ger of execution at the hands of the fascists, the Council for the Protec- tion of Foreign Born declared today, The International Labor Defense, | through its general secretary, J.

This delegation of American workers, Negro and white, from mines, mills, railroad shops and waterfront, was organized by the Friends of the Soviet Union in the United States, and sailed on the “Europa” April 19th. , | On their return from the Soviet Union the delegates will report to the workers who elected them, their observations and the true conditions in the Soviet Union as they have seen them with their own eyss. On this May Day—Labor’s holiday ~the workers of the Soviet Union, together with workers’ representa- tives from every part of the world, will celebrate in every city and ham- let of the Soviet Union. Also, in every industrial city of America, the workers, friends of the Soviet Union, ‘will assemble in a mighty demon- stration of International Solidarity ‘of the workers; in a mighty appeal to the world’s toiling millions to form 2 United Front against their capitalist opresors and exploiters, against the imperialist war-mongers, who are even today plotting the destruction of the Workers’ States in Soviet Russia and Soviet China. ‘The National Committee of the | Friends of the Soviet Union in the ' Onited States calls upon’ all workers to demonstrate on May First (din Organizing Against Burkhart Wage Cut (By A Worker Correspondent) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—In the \Burkhart Manufacturing Co. we work- lets received two wage-cuts in two weeks.

Bittelman A 48-page pamphlet explaining what the Communist Party fights for, and how it carries on this fight, has just been issued. It is a much needed pamphlet, for it deals with this question in simple language, ex- plaining in terms of a worker’s own experiences, how the Communist Party leads the every-day fight and leads the revolutionary way out of the crisis. ‘The pamphlet is addressed to the new members who have just entered the Party—those members who joined because they saw our Party in action. Now they are eager to understand how the Party leads the struggles. Also they want to understand the politicial analysis which is the basis of these struggles. This pamphlet serves this purpose as no other pamphlet which we have ever issued, It is written so that workers who have not joined the Party wil learn a great deal about it, Let the chapter headings tell their own story: 1, You Have Joined the Revolu- tionary Party of the American Pro- letariat. 2. Your Experiences with the Cap- italist Parties and their Social-Fascist Agents. 3. Initative—Activity—Discipline. 4. Become a Conscious Leninist. 5. We are Members of a World Party. ‘ 6.

STATE HUNGER MARCH IN LAWRENCE BOSTON, Mass. April 28.—-Column three at Lawrence started this morn- ing with a thousand workers joining the parade to the outskirts of the city in the send-off. Thousands more followed along the sidewalks. Five thousand participated in the demon- station. At Hudson last night Col- two was greeted at an indoor ting at which a thousnad workers Present.

M. Tilling- hast, and the Secretary of Labor, William N, Doak, have given her, de- |our efforts. Edith Berkman is en- dangered by the tuberculosis she has contracted because of her imprison- | ment by the immigration authorities. “The workers must unite en masse to force her freedom. The defense of Edith Berkman’s life is the de- fense of the life of every militant spokesman of the working class— | it is the defense of the revolution- |ary trade union movement, which Mr. Doak, representing the Depart- | ment of Labor, is trying to outlaw, of the right of workers to organize and strike, The International Labor Defense calls upon all workers to protest, to demonstrate, to DE- MAND EDITH BERKMAN’S IM- MEDIATE UNCONDITIONAL RE- LEASE,” Following is Edith Berkman’s per- sonal declaration protesting against illegal imprisonment by the immigra- tion authorities, sent by mail to Secretary of Labor Doak: “I hereby declare that as a protest against my illegal imprisonment, I will go on a hunger strike on May 8th, and carry on this hunger strike until I am unconditionally released. “I am forced to this drastic action because, as a result of my long deten- tion under bad conditions in the East Boston Immigration Station, I have contracted tuberculosis, and am now lying ill at the Massachusetts Memo- rial Hospital, 92 East Concord Street, Boston. My recovery is impossible under prison conditions. Freedom from worry—a necessary requisite in treatment for tuberculosis—is impos- sible in my present situation. Sirice Secretary of Labor Doak is anxious to get rid of militant working class organizers by hook or crook he will kill them if he can’t deport them. “The Federal Court of Appeals has refused to let me out on bail, The hearing of my case was held in Boston on April 12th, and no decision was rendered. “J charge Secretary of Labor Doak and Immigration Commissioner Till- inghast with illegally holding me for deportation. It is well known that according to the Russian-Polish peace treaty of 1921 persons who left Po- land before 1921, and who failed to apply for Polish citizenship, “cannot be considered as Polish citizens by the Polish authorities, and a Polish passport is denied them.” Therefore such persdns cannot be deported, This ruling applies to me, because I entered the United States legally in January, 1921, and have never ap- plied for Polish citizenship. Although Secretary Doak has had to release Zawadski in 1931 and Shik in 1932, ‘lbecause they were in this category, he continues to keep me imprisoned, “Secretary of Labor Doak, of the Board of Immigration, agent of the bosses and the United States capital- ist government, is striving to stamp out the rising tide of militancy of the oppressed and persecuted masses in the United States, through mass arrests, persecution and deportation. “The working class in the United States will not permit itself to be robbed of its militant fighters—will not permit the weakening of the rev- olutionary unions of the Trade Union Unity League through imprisonment and deportation of its organizers. ‘The American Negro and white work- ers as well as the foreign born will fight against these vicious actions of the capitalist government and their Hunger March Committee saw the | agents, president of the Senate, Bacon, and Speaker Saltonstall who refused to convene a joint session of the legis- Jative houses to hear the demands of the marchers. They said that they would hear the delegation personally.

Dying capitalism and advanc- ing socialism. Pacifist terror- against Socialist democracy. Under capital- sm there are continual wage cuts, reduction of the insurance benefits of all kinds, millions of unemployed; | under socialism a continual rise of! real wages, complete abolition of un-! employment. Under capitalism mil- ons of toilers are doomed to misery and political bondage, Under social- ism millions are advancing materially and culturally. . Under capitalism the agrarian crisis is increasing, taxation is in- jereasing the indebtedness of the masses of peasants. Under Social-| ism the majority of peasants are al-| ready collectivized on the basis of modern mechanical agricultural tech- nique. The material and cultural! situation of the peasants is continu- ally improving, Under capitalism labor is a curse, under Socialism it is a matter of honor and heroism, The Soviet Union Is Building | Socialism ‘The fight against the internal class enemy continued unabated but the | Soviet Union has entered the period of Socialism. Exploitation of man by man is being radically abolished. The working masses of the Soviet Union are advancing to a Socalist society. The Five-Year Plan will abolish the causes which produced the ‘classes. Despite imperialist provocations ex- ternally and internally, despite the or- ganized sabotage, the Soviet Union unswervingly continues its policy of peace. Millions of workers in the capital- ist countries daily receive new proofs of the’ superiority of the Socialist Planned economy over the capitalist anarchy. Millions of workers of the capitalist countries are forming a liv- ing protective wall around the Soviet Union. Preparations for war against the Soviet Union are paralleled by the growth of the brutal terror against the revolutionary workers and peas- ants in the capitalist countries. The bourgeoisie replies to the advance of the revolutionary front with brute force. Where the revolutionary wave rises, where the workers and peasants oppose the capitalist attacks the toil- ers’ blood is flowing in streams, Capitalist Terror Rages Hitler's fascists and Severing’s police mercenaries haye murdered | a hundred German workers. The striking Polish workers are shot daily. A forest of gallows has been erected. The Czech bourgeoisie is shoooting the demonstrating work- ers. The Spanish bourgeoisie is murdering the best proletarian fighters’ Demonstrating unem- ployed are machine-gunned in De- troit and Kentucky. The electric chair awaits the Scottsboro Negroes. The prisons of India are crowded with workers and peasants, Hun- dreds of national revolutionaries are being murdered. The murderous Kuomintang terror is raging in China. Allied with foreign imper- jalism the Kuomintang is prepar- ing a fourth offensive against the Soviets. All forces of fascism and social fas- cism are being mobilized in order) to check the advance of the revolu- tionary workers and the oppressed peoples. The Second and Amsterdam Internationals use open and conceal- ed terror in order to prevent strikes | of the workers against wage cuts and fights of the unemployed for bread. With police assistance they try to) smash the revolutionary organiza- tions. Under the slogans of , bour- geois democracy they prepare the path for an undisguised fascist dicta- torship of capitalism. The anti-Soviet incitement of the Second and American Internation- als, their pacifist slogans cloaking a feverish capitalist armaments and their fight against the proletarian revolution represent active prepara~ tion for an armed intervention against the Soviet Union.
