Children Help Build Socialism in U.S.S.R. Government Builds Special Health Camps for Children of Workers Nijni-Noygorod, Comrades : We received your letter and are in a hurry to answer you, Our children are very much interested in your life, which is a striking example of the life of the children in your country. We will now tell you about the life of the children in the USSR. We have no unemployed, our parents are working and have everything they need. We have a doctor in our school. He examines the children and those who are not well are sent to summer or winter camps or sanitariums. Last summer 30 pupils of our school®——— with their teachers went to a camp. They went to the collective farm un der our patronage in the village Zemenka. ‘The children lived there, helped the collective farmers and im- proved their health during vacation. ‘When they returned from the camp the children often recollected their life i camp. The majority of the children of our schoolbelong to the MOPR (ILD). We know about the conditions in countries where the toilers live and struggle for Soviets and we are doing everything to help them. ‘There is no crises in our country. Socialist construction is carried on with rapid tempo and plans are being made for the second Pyatiletka (Five-Year Plan). Building Socialism We, Pioneers, take part in the building of socialism. We fulfill our plan and help the factories to carry out their production plan. Our school is attacked to the factory “Krasny Obuvstchik.” Brigades from school and the pio- neers’ organizations help the factory in all its social activities. On Jan. 22 the factory workers had a subbot- mik for our school. They repaired shoes for our children. Our ILD. mucleus has 264 members, but our task is to involve all the pupils and teachers in this work. The execu- tive committee of the nucleus con- of 25 people.

We make sofas, tables, | chairs, pencil boxes and many other things. We also make screws and hammers. We have specitil shops for this work. Our children are yery much inter- ested in the life of the children in your country. If you possibly can, write about your life. We will be glad to answer all your questions.

J., were told that the plant would completely shut down on the first of August.

Sheriff Beats Starving Jobless Worker (By a Worker Correspondent) ASTORIA, Oregon—An unem- ployed and starving worker by the mame of Olson looking for work in Tiwaco, went to ask for food and the house he happened to hit was that of the sheriff, Strauhal. He was told to get out. Olson went to another house.. Here a woman told him to go to go to a restaurant and she would foot the bill. No sooner did Olson get to the street than the sheriff confronted him and asked where he came from, “Down South,” was the answer. “Where did you come from? asked the worker, not knowing he was talking to the sheriff. Without asking another question, Strauhal beat this starving and ex- hausted man till he lay on the ground. He then ran home got a pair of hand-cuffs and repeated the beating. Olson was then arrested. Several women witnessed ‘this at- tack, but they were refused the right of testifying in court. A crowd of 300 people protested in front of the jail so Olson was not convicted but taken to another town. One of he protesters was arrested the next morning and released on $260 cash bail. The charge was, “using profane language” against the sheriff. Sheriff Strauhal previously shot at an unemployed worker at Long Beach and has boasted that he would get rid of all the unemployed. Church with Boss on Scottsboro Case (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK—The Board of Di- rectors of the First Baptist Church on Fifteen Street in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, has proven itself an enemy to its Negro congregation of low paid workers, and a representative of the reactionary N.A.A.P.C. A committee of the L.6.N.R. and the LL.D. were definitely promised the use of the chureh on Sunday, April 24, imme- diately after the services at 1 p. m. for a Scottsboro Defense feeting. Leaflets were distributed for this meeting, and when the committee appeared with the speaker, Harold Williams, District Secretary of the LSNR., they were refused the use © fthe church. A member of the committee and Williams appealed to the congrega- tion on the steps of the church, and won many expressions of solidarity from the Negro workers, who con- demned the trickery of the Board of Directors, who had set the date for the meeting for the second time, after the original meeting was post- poned by them on the plea of other arrangements. The Board of Directors showed that they were acting under orders from the N.A.A.C.P. because they no- tified the congregation that any col- lection taken up must be turned over to that organization, which is delibe- rately withholding funds collected for the Scottsboro Boys, although they are not participating in the de- fense of the nine Negro boys. Many pamphlets of the Scottsboro case were sold, and some of the Negro workers of the congregation promised to attend the next L.S.N.R. meeting at 140 Neptune Avenue this coming Thursday, 'To the Readers of The DAILY WORKER The only Crechoslovak ering dail; Fraga r in the nd vada, Bf stan ‘or the very same Inciple as T!

C. Carroll accepted as toast master, democratic Mayor Cer- mak of Chicago expressed his regret at his inability to be present—and to top this “non-partisan” celebra- tion, President Masaryk of Szecho- Slovakia, sent a cablegram, stating how pleased he is that “all assembled are loyal, true, and devoted Ameri- cans,” etc. The reports in the Lead- er, Journal, etc., vividly depict the foaming mugs maids in native cos- Five hundred MassAchusetts ‘Hunger Marchers, followed by 10,000 Boston workers enthusiastically sup- porting them, marched on the State House with the demands of the unemployed workers for social in- surance, for abolition of child labor, for immediate relief. AMERICAN IMPERIALISM FREES THE HAWAIIAN LYNCHERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the American admiral in Hawatian waters because he told President Hoover the truth about that out- rage.” Bainbridge Colby, one of. the lead- ing democratic politicians of the country, who was Secretary of State in Wiflson’s cabinet, openly advocates military control for Hawaii. Scores of senators and congressmen, Repub- lican and. Democrat, re-echo the same demand, There cannot be the slightest doubt that Judd, the Hawaiian governor ap- pointed by the United States impe- rialist government, acted under orders from Washington, which is~ deter- mined to establish lynch law in the Islands as a prelude to and accom- umber approximately 25,000. Then there are 28,000 Portuguese. All the Japanese, Chinese and Koreans are excluded from citizen- ship undner the federal Asiatic ex- clusion laws. Literacy tests deprive most of the other darker skinned races from the exercise of the franchise. It is the Asiatic races that are en- slaved on the sugar, coffee and fruit plpantations. These explo#ted masses are affected by the general radicaliza- tion that is sweeping through the whole colonial and semi-colonial world. The attempt to establish lynching as a government institution in Hawaii is a part of the intensified drive of Yankee tyranny against the colonies and semi-colonies, as part of its war preparations and mobiliza- tion, The methods of lynch law that paniment of complete military tule.|are used to hold in subjection the The Washington Times editorial uses the customary demagogy of im- perialist banditry and tries to con- ceal its preparations for war in the Pacific by talk about defending the western coast states from aggression. In pursuing its war preparations the 333,000 people who make up the pop- ulation of the Islands are to be de- rived of even the pretext of political or social rights, and placed under the tyrannical dictatorship of the military and naval clique. The vast majority of the population of the Islands have never possessed political rights of any kind, The largest single nationality are the Jap- ‘@nese( who number 132,000. There are 52,000 Filipinos, 25,000 Chinese, 6,000 Koreans. ‘There are 35000 Amer- icans and northern Europeans. The pure Hawaiian constitute a very small percentage of the population the exact number being unknown. But the pure Hawaiians, the Caucasion- Hawaiians and the As‘atic-Hawaiians For a Stronger Fight Against Social | Fascism Dear Comrades ¥ Just a few critical remarks on the election platform of the Party. Five main slogans are put forward and an elucidation follows presenting the present state of affairs in the U. 8. A. the condittons of the toiling Masses and pointing out the need for fighting for the above demands. Slogans 1, 2 and 5 and 6 have given flesh and blood by the election plat- form. They spring out naturally on the basis of the present conditions a6 the platform presents these con- ditions, What about slogans 3 and 4, This is a platform presented to the mil- lions of American toilers, Is there a word about the millions of poor and midde farmers? Is there an analysis of their present conditions? Does Slogan 3 follow as naturally from the platform as the others do? I think it is merely a slogan. It is the more true of slogan 4. The only reference to the Negroes is in the section that élucidatees slogan 5—capitalist terror. Is the question of the Negro masses raised in this picture a problem of 13,000,0000 people—a national prob- lem that is and should become of vita importance to everly toier in the country. No I think that slogan 4 stands only as a slogan. Now a word on struggle aguinst social fascism. The resolution on the tasks of the Communist Party, U. 8. A. in the same issue of the Daily Worker states in section 2. “This confronts the Communist Party with th etask of increasing, sharpening and improving its fight against social facsism as the main enemy in the struggle for the suc- cessful... . .” Against Social Fasciqm Now do we do it in practice? I was astonished to find in this resolution a more thorough exposure of the so- fumes serving Bohemian sausage and sauerkraut—all references to social- iam, ete., have been omitted. cialist party than in the national election platform. Compared to this exposure our statements about the masses of Negro workers on the main- land of the United States are applied today in Hawaii and for the same purpose. It is not accidental that the Massie lynch case in Hawa‘ co- incides with the increase of lynching, legal and “illegal” .in the States. It is imperative that the Commu- nist Party of the United States carry on the most widespread campaign in defense of the Hawaiian masses. We continue to unmask the real purpose behtnd the filthy slanders about the “Hawaiian rabble” calculated to per- petuate the lie of white superiority. The facts in the Massie case must be ued to expoe the depravity and venal- ity of the vile instruments that Wall Street uses to enforce its policy of imperialist banditry in the Pacific. Instead of permitting the capitalist press to get away with the lie that white womanhood needs to be pro- tected, we must show that it is the victims of American imperialism—the Army Sends War Or- der to Cramerton Mills, Charlotte, N.C. (By a Worker Correspondent) CHARLOTTE, C.—Continuing |its delirious preparations for a| world slaughter, the American government, through its army depot quartermaster, has ordered 1,223,125 yards of cloth, 39 inches | wide of khaki cotton material to be used for uniforms for the army, from the Cramerton Mills, just outside of Charlotte, N. C. The order is described as “unu- sually large” and the mill is ex- pected to work on it all fall and summer, The cloth is a new sort to be used in places like “the Phil- ippines, Hawaii and other places} where the sun shines hot,” ac- cording to Cramer, owner of the mills. This order gives the lie to the peace maneuvers of the American government and proves conclu- sively the important part America is planning to play in the world capitalist bloc being formed for an attack against the Soviet Union, The Communist Party and the Young Communist League of Charlotte are taking immediate steps to form organization within) the mill and mobilize the workers therein for struggle against the vicious stretchout system in the mill and against the bosses’ war. guese, Hawaiian and other workers who must be defended and encouraged to take up a determined fight to drive out the American imperialists and all| their agents.
