OW promptly the A. F. of L. leadership responds to the needs and instructions of capitalism and. its captains! In Cincinnati Green preaches “restoration” of the damaged capitalist system. The order of the day from Wal] Street and its govern- ment to President Green and the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor is to split the militant mass movement tor federal unemployment insurance led by the Communist Party and he Unemployed Councils (within the A.

The mass support alarmed the rulers of America. pitalist well fhe revolutionary implications of the mass str for federal un~ employment insurance. We must acquaint the masses of A. F. of L. members with the full meaning of the proposal for unemployment insurance on a state basis and for some vague future time and organize them to defeat this new flank whole m to the convention of the attack on them and the working class as a The opening speech of President Gre mics Petersen of Labor now in session in Cincinnati has made still clearer the calculated character of the perfidy which prompted the Executive Council to shift from a position of open opposition to all forms of compulsory government unemployment insurance to a proposal for compulsory unemployment insurance enacted by the state legislatures. On the surface this appears to be an advance and undoubtedly will be hailed as such by the liberals and the Socialist Party. Actually it is a peculiarly cunning and contemptible piece of treachery to the 15-16 million unemployed, the part time workers now being forced to “share the work” still more under the Teagle plan, and to the whole working class. een’s promise to call on state legislature “to enact this form of social: legisiation into law” and create public opinion for it, immediately after the convention, confirms our previous statement that the main in- tention of the whole scheme is to divert the mass struggle for federal unemployment insurance which hundreds of A. F. of L. local unions have endorsed, into the shallow channels of state legislation where the whole movement would be stranded : This maneuver of the bureaucracy is designed to check and demor- alize the growing demand for federal unemplc ent insurance at the ‘expense of the bosses and their government espe lly among members of A. F. of L. unions where, as in the building trades, unemployment runs as high as 85 per cent. Undoubtedly it has the endorsement of both he Hoover administration and ident-elect Roosevelt, since it has the sbject of condemning the unemployment insurance movement to futil- ity, of freeing the federal government from further embarrassment, All principal policies of the A. F. of L. bureaucracy carry the open y secret endorsement of Wall Street and its government and in the rt nis one has rect pecial blessing. President Bea its purpose (“expressed,” as the New York ‘Times says, “ his discussion of unemployment ir ance”), when he breathed the desire that the convention program would “make a valu- able contribution toward the restoration of our impaired capitalistic structure.” In this manner Green and the rest of the A. F’. of L. ¢: cil combine demagogy with open reaction in support of a and a government which has in th lowered the 1 of the entire American wo. 70 per ce! continues to assail the worki This maneuver of the bureaucracy confri fant in the A. F. of L. unions with the special and serious task of quickly ex- plaining the political content of it to the membership as a whole. Es- pecially is this true of those Communists working in the A. F. of L. Com- mittee for Unemployment Insurance and Relief whose program has been endorsed. by hundreds of local unions. Its conference in Cincinnati furnishes the concrete contrast between the needs and will to struggle of the membership and the opposition to and sabotage of compulsory federal unemployment insurance by the burea cy. a The need of the moment is the exposure of the reactionary political content of this sabotage and its consequent defeat. The bureaucrats must not be allowed to hide their treachery behind the slogan of “com- pulsory unemployment insurance enacted into law by state legislature.” ‘They must not be allowed to split the movement. The A. F. of L. mem- bers. must be won for the nation-wide struggle for federal unemployment insurance. Tt is not “restoration” of the “capitalistic structure” as advocated by Green that the American working class needs. It needs what the Com- munist Party advocates and fights for: Militant mass struggle on all fronts against the capitalist offensive—not restoration but the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a Workers’ and Farmers’ Govern- ment.

A. Heller and Liston M. Oak, editors of “Soviet Russia Today,” announced yesterday that the law firm of Hays, St. John, Abramson & Schulman, engaged to defend the magazine libel suit instituted by Isaac Don Levine, have obtained an extension of time in which to file answer to Levine's complaint. Isaac Don Levine is the author of @ series of books and articles which slander the Soviet Government, the Soviet workers and peasants and the Communist Party, which leads them in the building af So- cialism. “Soviet Russia Today,” in @ review of Levine’s latest book of slander called “Red Smoke,” stated that Levine is a literary racketeer, @ pen prostitute and an unscrupul- ous anti-Soviet propagandist, SLANDERS U. S. S. R. Interviewed yesterday, Liston M. Oak declared: “Levine's writings are an amazing network of inaccu- racies, misstatements, misquota- tions, distortions of fact and ex- aggerations, calculated to give an entirely false picture of the Soviet Union. He draws freely for his material upon the White Guard, Trotskyite and Social Democratic press. It will be a simple matter to prove that Levine's statements are flatly contradicted not only. by statistics and other facts from Soviet sources, but from investiga- tions made by prominent conser- vative American scientists and en- gineers.” “Levine's thesis in ‘Red Smoke is taat the natur&l resources of the Soviet Union are among the lowest in the world and inadequate for an important industrial power and that, ‘Stalin’s regime brought the Russian standard of living below that of China ang India.’ Levine marshals argurp2nts in a futile at. tempt to prove that the Five-Year Plan is a failure. ‘Soviet Rus: Today’ has already collected bulky documentary proof that Levine's argument about the poverty of na- tural resources in the Soviet Union is ridiculous and untrue. We can easily prove the truth of Col. Hugh L. Cooper’s statement that Russia and the U. S. have today more na- tural resources upon which to build and maintain a high stand- ard of living than is to be found elsewhere in the world . . . the greatest immediately available un- developed natural resources in the world today are located within the Soviet Union.’ Col. Cooper might have added that only in the Soviet Union is the standard of living steadily rising. In the United States, as in all capitalist countries, Wages are being cut, workers are being reduced to a bare subsistence Jevel—if they are lucky enough to have jobs at all.” MISSTATES FACTS “Isaac Don Levine deliberately misstates facts not only in hb Statement about the natural 1 sources in the U.S. 8. R., but his whole collection of charges against, the Soviet Union are base slanders of an unscrupulous literary racke- teer. We will welcome a chance to prove this in court and | working class of America. ‘To do this Soviet Russia Today has started a campaign to raise a $5,000 defense fund to be used not only in legal defense, but in ex- posing Isaac Don Levine.” “Soviet Russia Today” announced that the proceeds from the Emma Redell concert at Carnegie Hall on Nov. 29 will go to the benefit of the defense fund. “China Express” Will Be Shown Thruout U.S. NEW YORK.—At the office of the Garrison Film Distributors, (729— ‘7th Ave.) it was learned that 100 show- ings of “China Express” have been arranged with the International Workers Order.

Ford, Recent Communist Candidate, Pays Tribute to Revolutionary Leader 'HE news of the death in Moscow of J. Louis Engdahl, one of the outstanding revolutionary leaders of the American working-class, has caused a profound feeling of loss among the workers of this city and throughout the whole country. En- gdahl died Monday afternoon after several days illness of pneumonia, following a strenuous six months tour in 16 European countries for the building of the Scottsboro De- fense campaign in Europe. Engdahl’s ashes, according to word received today from Moscow, will be brought back to the United States, and a series of memorial meeting will be held in various parts of the country, Engdahl was accompanied on the European tour by Mrs, Ada Wright, mother of two of the nine innocent Scottsboro Negro boys facing legal lynching in Alabama. He was in Moscow attending the World Con- gress of the International Red Aid, whose sections in many countries are leading the fight for the Scotts- boro boys. FDRMER EDITOR OF DAILY WORKER Engdahl had been active for many years in the revolutionary movye- | ment. He was formerly editor of the Daily Worker and up to a few weeks ago General secretary of the | International Labor Defense. James W. Ford, Communist vice- presidential candidute in the recent elections, yesterday paid the follow- ing tribute to the dead revolution- ary fighter: “J. Louis Engdahl was @ staunch supportér of the Communist Inter- national, a leader of the Commu- nist Party of the United States, a fearless fighter in the struggles of the workers, white and black. “We can only have the greatest proletarian admiration for the cour« age and fearlessness with which Comrade Engdahl plunged into the struggle for the release of the Scottsboro boys, the fight for Tom Mooney and all class war prisoners, DEATH FOLLOWED TOUR “Without doubt, the strenuous tour throughout Europe with Mrs. Wright, mother of two of the Scotts- boro boys, crystalizing mass sen- timent in the fight for the release of the Scottsboro boys, lowered his physical resistance, “At the direction of the United States government both Eng@ahl and Mrs. Wright were hounded and imprisoned by social-fascist govern- ments of Europe, attacked by So- cialist officials of Europe and sland- | ered by socialist leaders in the Unit- ed States, FOUGHT SOCIALIST MISLEADERS “Comrade Engdahl carried on a relentless exposure of the traitorous collaboration of the Socialist leaders with the American imperialists in their monstrous oppression of the Negro masses of this country and their hideous frame-up of the in- nocent Scottsboro children. ‘The experiences of Comrade Engdahi and Mrs. Wright with the Socisl- | ist misleaders are confirmed by my own experiences when in 1931 at Gratz, Austria, T was arrested by alist, police for speaking in de- of the Scottsboro victims, and deported from Austria by the social- ish Chiet of police at Grate who rifled my pockets to pay the ex- penses of police to escort me to the border, “T last saw Comrade Engdahl at Hamburg, Germany, in 1930, while I was Secretary of the International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers, He came to me to extend fraternal greetings and solidarity through our committee to the Negro toilers throughout the world and to weld together the solidarity of the’ African workers with the white workers for the fight to free Tom Mooney, ¢ FOR SOLIDARITY OF NEGRO AND WHITE “Long live the solidarity of Negro and white workers which the self- sacrificing activities of revolution- aries like Comrade Engdahl have helped to cement.

I don’t expect he'll give me any more trouble.” “Not that way. He's got some kind o’ complaint” “Oh, hell!” What nigger hasn’t?” “MURDER!” Ramsey tovk the cigar from his mouth. “In this case,” he said gravely, “iv’s rather serious. This nigra charges yoR with haying commit- ted murder.” ‘Deering’s ‘face flushed “a brick ted.

I don’t know why he called you or Mr. Pearson, but I am here to go his bond.” | “I am sure you investigated the charges first?” “That is up to the authorities.” “And may I ask, sir,” Deering said softly, “what business it is of the Governor's unless the machin- ery of the law has broken down here? Have you complained to the sheriff and has he refused to act?” -*T prefer to deal directly with the Governor, sir,” Ramsey re- turned quietly. ee oe EERING smiled. “As a taxpayer and a citizen, | may I ask why you do not press such charges with the sheriff?
