We shall place responsibility for their safety directly on the Governor of Alabama, the wardens of Kilby Prison and the Birmingham County jail, and the State Convict Department. The I. L. D. and the workers of the United States don’t intend to let the Alabama authorities get away with organizing lynch-mobs in order to hide under a cloak of “public sentiment,” their at- tempt to murder these boys. “I wish to point out also that all these stens involve heavy expendi- tures. The workers of the United States, Negro and white, must come to the support of the I. L. D. with mass protest and with material as- sistance if they are to be success- ful.” Among the lawyers present at the conference, besides Bi were Allen Taub, Eli Schwatzbard, and Carol Weiss King.

The report was made out by the warden on April 22, 1931, and three days later the jury applied the whitewash.

BRITISH FORGERS CAUGHT IN PLOT Ordered Manufacture of False ‘Stalin Papers’ The London correspondent of “Iz- vestia,” orgen of the Central Execu- tive Committee of the Soviet Union, exnoses the fact that the British In- telligence Service is preparing a new set of forgeries to “prove” that Josef | V. Stalin, secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union “insti- gated” the hunger march on London and the mass demonstrations of un- employed throughout England. Izvestia Blasts Forgers In an editorial Izvestia flays the British conspiracy with the following words: “A dispatch from our corre- snondent reveals that our old friends of the intelligence service are at work again. It was they who managed to publish in London in 1919 forged copies of Pravda. It was they who in 1923 supplied Lord Curzon (then British foreign secretary) with false documents manufactured at Berlin. Tt was they again who, in 1924, dy- namited the first MacDonald govern- ;ment with a forged document—the | so-called Zinoviev letter. “Now they have given an order to their agents at Riga to manufacture false papers ‘proving’ that the Com- intern, under the personal leadership of Stalin, is organizing the movement of the unemployed in Great Britain and is directing uprisings in India, “The fact is,” continues Izvestia, “that not since Chartism has poverty urged the unemployed on to such measures are they are now taking. This movement naturally strengthens the Communist Party in England.” Dogs Fighting for Bone, Declaring that it is a fact which “we are not going to deny” that Comrade Stalin is the leader not merely of the Soviet proletariat, but that millions of workers and peas- ants throughout the world consider him their leader, Izvestia declares: “But does this mean that Stalin is responsible for the bankruptcy of In- sull, the drop in production in the Ford plants, or the expulsion of the British textile industry from the In- dian market by Japanese competi- tion? Such a conclusion is the delirium which the British intelli- there are 30,000 miners now | gence service is able to present to z on strike, 2) SBS the British foreign office only in the hope of purposeful gullibility.” ey
