CONFERENCE FOR 9 BOYS IN PARIS 200 Pledge Fight to Mrs. Wright PARIS (By Mail) —Two hundred delegates, headed by Marcel Cachin and representing all the workérs’ or- ganizations in Paris, pledged to Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of two of the Scottsboro boys, an intensification of the world-wide fight to foree the merican capitalist hangmen to re- lease the nine innocent Scottsboro Negro boys. Many mass demonstrations to free; the nine working-class youths are be- ing organized in the French capital and adjoining centers. A Scottsboro protest meeting, held at the famous Club Du Faubourg, was attended by many Parisian lib- erals and intellectuals. The meeting was addressed by Mrs. Wright and J. Louis Engdahl.

Grove who now heads the mil- itary clique in Chile has issued a istatement aimed at further deceiving the Chilean masses, declared that Davila was forced out because he was not radical enough. Col. Grove as Minister of Defense two days ago threatened a blood bath against the Teyolutionery Chilean workers and peasants who, under the leadership of the Chilean Communist Party, are carrying on a struggle against the |sham promises of the militarist-fas- cist dictatorship and for a real work- ers and peasants government. Carlos Davila, Chilean demagog and former ambassador to the United Statés, was forced out yesterday as | head of the militarist-fascist dictator- ship set up in Chile a week ago. Daviia’s resignation is reported to have followed a sharp disagreement in the military clique on the “pro- |posal” to confiscate the Wall Street jeontrolled Cosash nitrate combine and other loot of foreign capitalists in Chile. Davila had made demagogic promises that these concerns would be seized, and that industry and agri- culture would be socialized and un- employment abolished “within 30 days.” The promises have remained | on paper. The military clique ze- gan to repudiate them one after the other. It appears that the real motive for the dropping of Davila is the fact that his shameless demagogy had de- feated its purpose, that. the impov- erished Chilean workers and ruined peasantry had seized upon Davila’s sham promises to raise their own revolutionary demands for the con- fiscation of the means of production, for the seizure of the banks, etc, As an additional step in the at- tempt to deceive the masses, the dic- tatership is talking of proposing a renegade from Communism, Senator Manuel Hidalgo, to succeed Davila. Hidalgo was expelled some time ago from the Chilean Communist Party. During the Communist-led revolt in the Chilean Navy, he engaged in the most shameless betrayal of the revo- lutionary sailors.

Det June 13.—While | Speaking yesterday in Minot, North, Dakota, Wm. Z. Foster, Communist candidate for president, hailed the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court to review the Scottsboro case as “a victory for the working class in its militant struggle to save the lives of these innocent boys from the hands jof the whit eruling class of the south |but we cannot and must not stop here. This struggle must continue until these boys walk out free from their prison cells. It is our duty to the working class to fight for their freedom and that can be accomplish- ed only through militant struggle.” The Communist Party lays the ut« most stress upon its demands for the Negroes, It demands full economis and social equality for them; it fights to eliminate the entire system of dis< crimination which the Negroes are subjected to in industry, in distribue tion of unemployment, relief,-in seg- Tegated dwelling districts, in trade unions, in the courts, in political ac- tivities; it demands death for lynch ers, and it fights for the right of self-determination for the Negro in the Black Belt.” The hall was jammed to capacity and the crowd of white and Negro workers cheered wildly when Foster concluded his speech.
