The Communist Party has had the task of convincing workers that the continual charges of rape against Negroes in the South are nothing more or less than a peculiarly American method of devising excuses for terroristic orgies designed to cow the Negro population. It works much in the same way as the legend of the use of the blood of gentile children i Jewish ritual has been and is still used as an excuse for pogroms in Poland, Rumania, ete.. and for the same purpose—that of maintaining the system of national oppression. os ‘HE, existence. of & national minority whose economic, and social condi- ‘tions are far below even the miserable level of the working class in @eheral, places in the hands of the ruling class a weapon they will sur- render only when decisively defeated by the united fight front of the working class and the basic sections of the oppressed minority. In the United States this means the united front of white and Negroe masses in struggle for Negro liberation and against capitalist oppression. The culmination of the struggle for Negro iiberation, because of the character of the oppression to which they are subjected—that of one nationality by another—occuring especially in huge territorial areas in which Negroes are the majority, because these areas are overwhelmingly agricultural and Negroes are denied access to the land even on an equal’ hasis with the relentlessly exploited white farmers, croppers and tenants, ig @ struggle for self-determination.

J < * * * ‘PHE Socialisf Party and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have taken no part in the struggle for the release of the Scottsboro boys. protest meetings that are taking place today. From the beginning these forces have tried to split the ranks of the working class. Their excuses for their treacherous actions have been many and varied. Had it been left to the leaders of these organizations the charred bodies of the Scottsboro boys would long ago have been dis- solved in the quicklime the sovereign state of Alabama reserves for its Negro victims. , Qn an international scale, taking their cue from their American counterparts, the leaders of the social democracy have sabotaged the struggle, Germany, England, France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Hungary, Jugo- Slovia and Poland have all witnessed masses of workers overriding the hetrayals of the social democrat leaders—many of them in government posts—and rallying in huge protest meeting addressed by Louis Engdahl, of-the International Labor Defense, and Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of one of the Scottsboro boys. First of all, the Socialist Party and the leaders of the National Asso- tiation for Advancement of Colored People swallowed whole the capit- alist slander that the Scottsboro case was “just another rape case.” This Wie was repudiated by masses both of white and Negro workers when the Communist Party exposed it Next, under the pressure of thousands of aroused workers the N.A ACP. retained a lawyer who did his best to turn the boys over to the executioner. Exposed in this treacherous maneuver, the N.A.A.C.P., backed by the Socialist Party, retained Clarence Darrow and demagogic- ally offered his services—provided the International Labor Defense would discontinue its appeal for mass defense and abolish the mass defense movement that had been organized ‘The N.A.A.C.P. and Darrow—later exposed in the Massie case as a defender of American imperialism—withdrew all pretense of cooperation when their conditions, which meant leaving these innocent young Ne- groes to the mercy of a lynch jury, were refused and exposed. ‘The Socialist Party and the N.A.A.C.P. press then began a campaign to discredit the Communist Party and the International Labor Defense. ‘They.accused our Party of sacrificing the boys to make martyrs and fur- ther Communist propaganda. Their press echoed the most vicious slanders of the capitalist press—and still does, although somewhat more cautiously because of the immense popular support of the struggle for the lives and liberties of the Scottsboro boys. * * * "THE achievements so far in the mass character of the struggle have in- deed been great, especially when we take into account the obscurity of. the issue when the struggle first began and the three centuries of anti-Negro prejudice that had to be combatted. “*begally the case has been shown to be a frame-up, The struggle taken up by the International Labor Defense has won the support of great masses of Negroes. It has rallied hundreds of thousands of white workers nationally and internationally. Lynch and murder terror, Jim Crowism, segregation and all other special forms of oppression have become burning issues of struggle. Or- ganization of the most exploited Negroes in the South—tenants, croppers, farm: laborers—has begun and is spreading. ° * THE main task—that of prying loose the clutching fingers of murder justice from the throats of the Scottsboro boys, of mobilizing far greater forces of white and Negro masses to force their unconditional aoa aasan Ce, accomplished. 16 fact ths Scottsboro boys are alive today has proved that ba Shape tt id yt mass organization and mass struggle—is < effective method of combatting the growing persecution robbery of the tolling millions, Negro and white. a ae : * Bx i year and @ half that has elapsed since the Communist Party called upon the workers to save the Scottsboro boys capitalist prisons have closed their doors on scores of militant member of our class.

We also found many families actually starving, and we organized committees for immediate relief. Here too, we must act quickly. : ‘Then we call our contacts (re- gistered supporters, or sympathi- zers) to @ meeting in a workers’ house, where we explain the func- | tions of the block committee.

In order to lay a solid foundation for their future work, they wish to record in a single dotument the efforts and to come to an agreement on the essential points and conditions of the struggle against war, and the duties and responsibilities in- cumbent on each and on all. ‘The Congress, regardless of the ideological and political differences which may separate its various component elements, desires to face facts and facts only. It desires to emphasize that the dangers of war are no less real and grave today than in the years immediately pre- ceding the war of 1914. Though none, not even those ready to launch the war, can specify the exact date of its outbreak, the fate of the human race is nevertheless at the mercy of @ diplomatic in- cident, a frontier clash, or a poli- tical crime, IMPERIALIST WAR RAGES ‘The Congress faces the facts. It points out that war in colonies and mandated territories, and economic piracy, ravages the continents of the world. It points out that en- tire nations and vast countries such as India, Morocco, or Nicaragua, are as a matter of fact at the present moment waging a defensive war against the armed forces of imperialist. profiteers. It points to the invasion of China by Japan, with the evident | complicity of the Great Powers, | that most dastardly act of brigand- | age, which will be inevitably fol- | lowed by a division of the spoils no less bloody than the contest it- self. f with its more or less veiled allian- ces and treaties, its various con- flicting yet interlocking capitalist interests, any imperialist war must certainly spread until the whole world is involved. WAR PROPAGANDA ‘The Congress denounces the con: duct of the big newspapers and of public men who through servility or love of gain conceal or distort the truth about the wars in pro- gress and about the imminent cat- astrophes towards which the pres- ent generations are being visibly heres mittee pa will engulf em less * put a vigore ee reslstaneg Calls Upon Workers, Farmers, Intellectuals and Students for a United Struggle Against Imperialist War and the intenticns of this Congress _ In the present political situation, * GROWTH OF ARMAMENTS It points out and condemns the huge and ever increasing growth of armaments throughout the world, which flatly contradicts the sophistries, quibbles, and theatrical proclamations of the governments concerned, rifying and increasing efficiency of weapons, all the sinister instru- ments of scientific extermination, through poison gas and disease germs, certain to be employed in the next world war. IMPERIALIST RIVALRIES It condemns the capitalist policy which rigorously shuts off the countries from each other for the exclusive benefit of a small and voracious minority, which drives eyery government to exploit to the lgnit the territory, wealth, and population of weaker countries, in order to secure markets at any cost. It accordingly condemns such agreements as the one recently reached at Ottawa., These pro- tectionist measures, adopted under the pressure of the economic cri- sis resulting from the existing eco- nomic system and lasting as long as the system itself, only serve to accentuate the crisis and render inevitable the transformation of economic strife into armed con- filet, The sole course open to the governments of capitalist countries, or rather to the financiers who so thoroughly dominate these coun- tries and governments, is to resort to an act of violence which will forcibly dip the scaies to the ex- clusive advantage of the best arm~- ed and most powerful group among them. Capitalism is the cause of the economic crisis and the econo- mic crisis accelerates war. bf ahaa Pre SINGLE fact suffices utterly to condemn the existing system, since it illustrates the deplorable plight of world capitalism: it is the fact that in some parts of the globe enormous stocks of foodstuffs are being destroyed while in others famine reigns, In India and in China a large proportion of the population die of hunger, and in other continents hundreds of mil- lions of human beings suffer and perish. ‘The Congress points out that all capitalist Powers treat the Soviet Union as their common enemy, which they are attempting to un- dermine and overthrow. There have been direct wars of intérvention, It condemns the ter- | encirclements and blockades, armed attacks supported by Western im- perialism, raising of White Guards in Europe and Asia, attempts at destruction by sabotage within the Soviet Union, unprecedented cam- paigns of calumny and defamation, all carried on under the flimsy cover of diplomatic relations es- tablished merely for the sake of immediate financial advantage. And today is being openly prepared in the Far East: a final armed crusade against the Soviet Union. PEACE POLICY OF U.S.S.R. ‘The Congress points to the stead- fast peace policy systematicaljy pursued by the Soviet Union, and repudiates the legend of “red im- perialism,” the only object which is to justify and mask the persist- ent attacks against the Republic of workers and peasants. The Congress proclaims that the present and future victims of the whole situation are the great masses of the people. The crisis of over- production and maldistribution re- sulting from the chaotic system of private profit, the consequent in- crease of unemployment which has reduceq hundreds of millions of human beings throughout the world to the point of starvation, the enor- mous growth of military expendi- ture, the rise in the cost of-living | and in taxation, all combine to crush the working masses already decimated by the late war and after 14 years still suffering from its wounds and bereavements. After having been ruined they are now driven to the slaughter once more. It points out that the Japanese workers have, by their heroic ex- against imperialist war is best car- ried” on. They have stood up against their own bourgeoisie, held up war production ang munition convoys, and shown up this war in the eyes of the Japanese soldiers for what it is—a war of piracy. ‘The Congress points out that the maintenance of the artifical fron- tiers imposed by the peace treaties —those one-sided arrangements. dictated by vengeance and by poli- tical interest, and sacrificing the immediate future to a momentary gain to the victors—has created a great division between the nations which conjures up war upon all frontiers. The very basis of these treaties, Article 237 of the Treaty of Versailles, which ascribes the sole ‘responsibility of the war to Germany, is a flagrant untruth which has been used by a trick of Unemployment and Social In- surance at the expense of ‘the ee Sos wl tae al ela s demagogic mysticism to contribute to.the growth of the Fascist re- action in Germany. aimple, already shown how the fight | ra Negro Workers in African Colonies of British Empire By R. BISHOP TEE, Aitican, Negtoss are being steadily exterminated as a re the development of The population of the ritish Sudan has decreased from 10,000,000 to 6,000,000, that of the Belgian Congo from 20,000,000 to of than 7,000,000. The native Population of French Equatorial Africa has declined steadily from 9,000,000 in 1910 to 2,800,000 in 1921, since which year the govern- ment has decided the publication of further statistics to be “unde- sirable.” The causes of this decline are obvious. In Kenya and many other parts of Africa the reserve and compound systems have robbed the Africans of the best and most fer- tile lands, and reduced them to a state of complete slavery. Unable to make a living in the “reserves” the Negroes have to work at star- vation rates for the white robbers who have stolen their land from them. Driven by their dire pov- erty, the parents hire out their children to the Whites for 12 months in return for a heifer, val- ued at hetween 30 and 40 shillings ($5-$7). For 10 shillings ($1.70) a month the mothers work from early morn till late at night, performing the most arduous tasks. Coupled with an almost entire lack of sanitation and malnutrition of the most shocking type, this compulsory la- bor has resulted in an infant mor- tality rate that exceeds in many parts 500 deaths per 1,000 births. The surviving children grow up ragged and dirty, eating rotten food in scanty quantities. debarred from any medical facilities, and liable to thrashings for the most, petty offenses. The Australian abortgines pro- vide a prime example of the ex- termination of a people by im- perialism. Where once there were millions of healthy native Austra~ lians, there is now but a mere handful, and these have had their physique destroyed by the “civil- izing” ‘advent of the white man. If the imperialists have their way, the Africans will follow the same path. he he ate [T is through these abominably treated people that the imperial- ists continue to draw their huge tribute from the colonies and try to stem the growing crisis in the metropolitan countries. Andre Gide, the French writer, gives the follow- ing picture of conditions in the Belgian Congo: “In the neighborhood of our encampment a whole flock of children, between $ and 13, squat around a feeble gas fire all through the cold night. . .. These children have been marched from the villages with ropes around their necks, for 6 days they have been forced to march without pay or food.” Here is another passage from the same book: “We met a group of prisoners, all of them tied together by ropes. One of them carried nothing; he was a lad between 10 and 12 years old, frightfully emaciated and utetrly exhausted from misery, hunger and want of sleep. From time to time his whole body shook and the skin of his stom- ach movel convulsively. His head was full of scabs and in place of the hair there grew skin, the lke of which usually forms over wounds. He seemed to have lost hs smile forever. “Tf these children should find their conditions unbearable and venture to protest against it, their fathers are tied to trees and .then shot, as was clearly stated at a parliamentary session in 1927, when a terrible massacre took place among their parents, and five smail children were chased. into a hut and then burned alive.” Gide confines his observations to Belgian territory But the same things hold good, in a greater or lesser degree, for all parts of Af- rica, whether ruled by . Belgium, Franc2, Britain or Italy. UNDER MACDONALD In British Nigeria, the standard of living of the Negroes was driven Ea down through the operations of Lever Bri causing” tremen- deus hard: The situation be- came so desperate that on Decem- ber 14, 1929, some Nigerian women demonstrated in the station of Abaho. Six of them were shot dead by the polics, Two days later another large number of women collected at Opobo; they were at- tacked by troops who killed 19 and ‘wounded many more. And this was to maintain the profits of the Unilever soap and margarine com- bine. All was carried out with the full approval of the British Labor government then in office, who is- sued a whitewashing report exon- erating the officials on the spot. ae ae IN 1925 the Governor of Kenya reported to the British Colonial Secretary that thousands of Ne- groes were being compelled to work on the construction of the Uganda railway for wages of 12 shillings a month. In a medical report on 2,500,000 natives in Kenya, the Chief Medical Officer reported in 1930 that: “In zeneral they are. naked, poor, illiterate, uncultured, en- tirely without common things ke soap, beds, tables, chairs, etc., which are usually believed to be necessary for a comfortable life. their huts are infested with worms and other parasites, so much so that it has been said that the imhabitants of some areas do not know what ‘health’ means. In general between 30 and 80 per cent of them have malaria.” THE SCOTTSBORO CASE ‘The murderous role of imperial- ism in the colonial countries is be- yond cavil. But what of the Ne- groes abroad? In the United States the brutal oppression and exploita- tion of the Negro masses goes on apace. The whole press and edu- cational system aims at fostering race prejudice against the colored people, the logical outcome of which is Lynch Law and cases like the Scottsboro frame-up. The Scottsboro case is as typical of American imperialism as the Meerut case is of its British coun- terpart. It is significant, however, that the masses of workers in both Britain and the United States have refused to be stampeded and have rallied to the side of their colored class brothers. As a matter of fact the Scottsboro case has done much to cement the unity of white and colored workere throughout the world. What Have S.P. Rulers of Milwaukee Done for Labor? By M. C. (Conclusion) This is nothing new to the revo- lutionary workers in Milwaukee. We know that Mayor Hoan em~ ployes a spy system, and although there is no squad called the Red Squad, nevertheless, there is a spe- cial squad that has the same func- tion to trail radicals, pointing out militant workers to the bosses, raiding workers’ meetings, sending in plain clothesmen into the un- employed councils. The two such detectives, Berg and Mueller, were recently exposed. In Chicago, the Red Squad has its Mills and Mur- phys, known for their brutality in dealing with workers. In Milwau- kee, we have the McGarveys and Tchurrys. The Chicago police de- partment has its “Gold Fish” room where prisoners are beaten and third degreed to get “confessions.” In Milwaukee, they haye a more re- fined name for this room—it is called the “shadow box.” And gangsters? Yes, they ride around in the squad cars of the Milwaukee Police Department. We are not referring to Chicago where the Capone gangsters look upon the police department as their own, but in the socialist “miracle city,” the gangsters are under the protection of the police department. On July 14th, a squad car ‘ran over. a little girl on the street. And, who were the occupants of this car?. A few Milwaukee policemen, and Joe Den- tice, sitting in squad car No. 4. Who is Joe Dentice? Joe Dentice was connected with Joe Riggio, Brook- lyn, New York, gangster who was taken for a ride. And, at that time, Dentice himself received a few slugs, but recoyered. When the po- lice squad was asked what Den- tice was doing in the car, Tnspect- or J. B. Drewniak when pressed, said that the gangster rode around in the squad car for protection— he feared the other gangsters! PROUIBITION GRAFT Only a few days ago grenades were-hurled into two drink parlors on the North Side. Milwaukee is not very far from Chicago, and the beer wars taking place there finds its way into Wisconsin. The reason jthat the beer war does not assume greater proportions is due to the fact that the big breweries like Pabst, Miller. Blatz, are a ddminont” power in Milwaukee, ‘The sccialist, politicians try to hold the market for their own bosses and eliminate Mami 49. BE Conrnsmen); gy!

Outside beer, therefore, must be kept out—the home market first. ‘When Heywood Broun was at- tending the socialist convention in Milwaukee'he claimed that for the first time tn his life he saw a couple of dicks pay for their drinks when they came into a saloon. He tried to use this as an example to prove that the socialist police are “dif~ feren| the cops, say that Broun doesn’t know what he is talking about—the Mil- waukee cops have itchy palms, just like their colleagues elsewhere. The “miracle city” is involved in all the corruption that goes with capitalism. The Socialist Party makes deals with the other capital- ist parties, just as the democrats and republicans make deals in oth- er large cities. it is always with the aim of a few so-called non- partisan votes that Mayor Hoan puts over his measures for the bosses. ¢ The socialists conclude deals with the republican “progressives” and other politicians as to whe will go to the assembly, or other offices. At present, there is a fight within the Socialist Party in Milwaukee on the question of spoils. Some of- fice-holders elected on the ae ticket refuse to carry out the orig- inal bargains. The que of spoils was the cause of Mayor Swaboda of Racine quittitig the So- cialist’ Party. He refused to put in the police chief demanded by the caucus. Toaalg 8. P. SLOGAN: y “LAW, ORDER, FORCE” As a sample of “socialism,” the head of the “miracle city,” Mayor Hoan will soon travel through the U. S., campaigning: The workers should keep ihe above things in mind. They should prepare some questions for his honor, Mayor Hoan, and expose the acts being. perpetrated by the Socialist Party. On the Safety Building (jail) in the city of Milwaukee, a new struc- ture whos: corner stones were blessed by the socialist administra- tion, there is inscribed the follow= ind: “Law, Order, Force.” hes been the slogan of the capi- taliet clacs from the very first day ef its existenc? in order to put down the exploited and oppressed working class.
