Mr. Trotsky did not mention unist Parties of the whole world, doing in capitalist surroundir shevik party did prior to 1917 and wt tions in capitalist countries. What Mr. Trotsky did say his theory of “permanent revolu remains true. He did not mention, how that this theory implies that the peasantry cannot go hand in hand with the proletariat in build- ing Socialism, that the proletariat must treat the peasantry not as an elly, but as a potential enemy, that the only allies of the proletariat of ‘one country can be the proletarians making a social revolution in othéF countries, and that the revolution in one c , therefore, an impos- sibility. In reafirming his theory of the permanent revolution, Trotsky ‘implicitly says that the socix] revolution in the Soviet Union is an im- Dossibility. Mr. Trotsky did say that it was he who, prior to 1905, predicted the assing of the proletariat from the bourgeois revolution to a socialist ‘revolution, forgetting to mention that this was the fundamental theory of Bolshevism and that this idea was formulated by Lenin as early as 1894 in his work “Who are the Friends of the Peovle.” By putting him- welf up as the great prophet of the revolution, Trotsky repeats his old falsehood about the Bolsheviks never having thought, prior to the spring same work which the Bol- will resul socialist revolu- no k ant He did say that by him in 1905, still of 1917, about passing from a bourgeois revolution to the Socialist revo- Nation in Russia, Mr. Trotsky did say that the present difficulties in the Soviet Union to boreaucratism, p of the Communist Stalin are due not to technical or econom! i but thereby repeating his old slander aga Party and its Central Committee, head Mr. tsky did say something about been based “on the unity of its doctrine: mon struggles, and on confidence ii at present there is no tradition of the idence in the leadership, or, t the leade Comrac i by the Bulshevik Party as having on the traditions of the com- ip’ thereby that common s gle and no con- n the words of his intervietw published not so long ago, that lin regime is tottering. Mr, ‘Trotsky did say that “in criticism as well as in acclamation, @tspassion is needed,” thereby trying to induce worker listeners not to treat the acheivements of the November revolution with pride, with enthusiasm, with ardent devotion, but to treat it as something distant and apart. Mr. Trotsky did flatter the English and American bourgeoisie by @eelaring “my admiration for Anglo-Saxon culture”—bourgeois culture, Hoovver-culture, the “culture” of the Scottsboro case, of Indian oppres- signa and of hunger and starvation. Mr. Trotsky did pay lip-service to the revolution and to its successes, but he hedged this about with so many allusion and innunendoes and direct mistatements and falsehoods that his “tribute” to the revolution falls in one class with the tribute of the Austrian “Marxists” headed by Otto Bauer or with the praise of the Soviet Union by such a dyed-in the-wool liberal-socialist as Sydney Webb (in Current History) . It was Otto Bauer who wrote in the Vienna Arbeiter Zeitung (October 23rd) that “if Russian Bolshevism were overthrown by force, humanity for @ long time would lose its faith in the possibilities of a social system better than capitalism,” and it is Sydney Webb and such “socialists” as the Rev. Muste in this country who cognize” the achievements of the Soviet revolution. By his speech Trotsky puts himself in the same group. TAY did he come to Copenhagen?

He will attempt to put himself at the head of all those who'in the name of “leftism" and distortion of “Communism” fight against the revolution and against the Soviet Union. ‘The workers must reply to this counter-revolutionary attempt by joining in virorous masses the class struggle under the banner of the Communist Party.

Prison-- Face Lynching; By The Nations! Executive Com- mittee of the International Labor Defense IRCED by world-wide mass Pressure, the U. S. Supreme Court has handed down. its deci- sion—e classic example of capital- ist evasion of the ‘basic rights of the. Negro masses. ‘The innocence of these boys has been fully proved, the facts of how these jobless starving boys, seeking work, fell hapless victims to the southern slave hunter’s lynch fury, their only “crime” to look:for work, to be poor and to have black skins, have been: established before the world. TORTURED—STILL FACE LYNCHING! Yet these nine lads have been | held in the Alabama torture jails— bail refused—for almost two years now! Four times has the day been set for the burning of seven of them. Four times have they been thrust directly towards the electric chair. The lynch rope, the stake and the electric chair still stare them in the face today! It is for us to complete the heroic task and bring to them unconditional free- dom. The Scottsboro boys have not been freed by the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court. .The power- ful, world-wide mass struggle led by the I. L. D. has forced a victory— @ great victory, but only a partial victory. The decision states: “The judgments are reversed and the causes remanded for further pro- ceedings.” Our victory deals a body blow to the lynch terror. But the ruling class will try to counter. The de- cision denies that the boys were | “actually in danger of mob vio- lence.” This in the face of the savage orgy around the Scottsboro courthouse whipped up by the lynch- ers’ press, which. stopped short of the immediate, ghastly lynching, only upon the pledge of the lynch officials that the boys would be “lawfully burned.” SCOTTSBORO BOYS IN GREAT DANGER! ‘The Scottsboro boys are thus still in grave danger. The cue has been eagerly seized by the lynch masters. The “liberal” Birmingham Post states significantly “every precau- tion should now be taken so that no room is lett for criticism . . . when. the second trials are coms pleted and the verdicts pro- nounced.” We must not relax for ohe moment olir Vigilance, greater mobilization, greater agitation, greater financial support now for Scottsboro. The Alabama press seethes with violent incitements against “the agitators who ap- pointed themselves the special friends of these felons.” The Ku Klux Klan rides openly through the streets. The Birmingham office of the International Labor Defense has been raided. rua Tee 'E MUST not be misled by the hypocritical hopes of the upper class Negro traitors—Wailter White and the other leaders of the Na= tional Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People—“that pre- judice from either side may be kept out of the retrial.” This can only prevent the necessary defense action. Only by raising the mass struggle at once to a still higher level have we the slightest chance to save the lives of these innocent Negro work- ingclass boys. The Scottsboro boys are symbols of the oppressed Negro people and of exploited, starving terrorized labor! Nine piteous examples of the frightful terror with which the lynch lords crush the Negro masses. Examples of the rising bloody boss terror against all the toiling masses —white and black! UNITE! ACT TO MEET EMERGENCY! ‘White workers and poor farmers! Oppressed Negroes! All who revolt against savage lynch terror! Unite to save the nine Scottsboro boys! For their sake and for your own protection! The situation is criti- cal; the emergency great! The mass struggle and legal defense must be intensified at once! The T. L. D. attorneys have al- ready begun proceedings. Joseph Brodsky, outlining this action, ap- peals: “I wish to point ont that these steps involve heavy expenditures. ‘The workers of the United States, Negro and white, must come to the support of the International Labor Defense with MASS PRO- ‘TEST AND WITH MATERIAL ASSISTANCE if they are to be successful.” ‘The costs of the legal and mass campaigns are tremendous! ‘WE MUST RAISE $25,000—HALY OF IT AT ONCE—THE REST IN ‘THE NEXT FEW WEEKS! WE MUST NOT FAIL! WE APPEAL TO YOU, WITH FAITH THAT YOU WILL RESPOND TO THIS EMERGENCY CALL! We know you have great de- By A. OVERGAARD. INJOYING an expensive dinner at the fashionable Waldorf-Astoria on Nov. 21, 700 financiers and em- ployers, including Walter E. Teagle, president of Standard Oil of New Jersey, Thomas Watson of the Mer- chants’ Association, Harvey Gibson of the Emergency Unemployment Relief, Acting Mayor of New York McKee and other parasites, heard Owen D. Young deliver an address in which he laid down the law to the employers and the present Re- publican and incoming Democratic administration, ordering that the workers already starving slowly must continue to bear the brunt of the crisis, that the workers must ac- cept the “share the work plan’— developed by Mr. Walter Teagle— the new name for Hoover's stagger plan—which means more drastic ‘wage-cuts. Both Mr. Hoover and Mr. Roose- welt, like the obedient servants they are to Wall Street, answered with the same great eagerness as two parrots, again proving that the only difference between the Re- publican and Democratic Parties is that one is out and the other is in, or that one is a horse-thief, the other a chicken-thief. YOUNG ADMITS “PLAN” | MEANS WAGE CUTS After a lot of praise given to Walter Teagle and Alfred Sloan about their “patriotic service to humanity,” Owen D. Young in his speech admitted “That there is Some undercurrent of feeling emerg- ing in occasional voices indicting the “share the work plan” is a clear device to sh'ft to the shoul- ders of the workers the burden of caring for the unemployed.” Yes, “the occasional voices” are the delegates of the starving masses now marching to Washington to. demand from our Wall Street gov- ernment and your banking and manufacturing bosses relief for this winter, to demand abolition of your forced labor program which is in force in many states. It is the roar of the unemployeq workers, who are tired of having your em- ooo mands. But this is one of the most burning issues and supreme tasks facing us all today. What- ever else you must do, you must do something now—your best— for the Scottsboro Defense! Do your bit and see that every or- ganization does its share!

It is the mass demand of the un employed and employed workers for federal unemployment insurance and the demand of the ex-soldiers for their bonus, instead of spend- ing millions on new war prepara- tions, which Mr. Young recognized in these “occasional voices.” eyonesen its Me: YOUNG tells the employers filling their bellies with expen- sive foods “that they have done what they could” and states fur- ther that “the employers’ funds must continue to help but to rely on them is not enough and let us mobilize all efforts of all to put our people back to work on even short time that will represent our maxi- mum effort.” (My emphasis.) In other words, the employers will first check off the money for relief from the workers’ pay under threats of losing their jobs if they refuse, have the checks sent in the name of the “humane and patriotic firm,” to the emergency relief office. Later the workers will be forced to speed up production and accept reduced hours with reduced pay. Such is the program of Wall Street, outlined by Mr. Young ang en- dorsed not only by the employers lit’ by the government and the “leaders of the A. F. of L.. Mr. Young concludes by stating “that I want to pay tribute to the pa- tience of the unemployed workers everywhere and ‘to the generosity of the workers everywhere who are employed.” His whole speech is the most outspoken proof that the “share the work plan” means more drastic wage-cuts for the workers in all industries. He further gives tribute to the labor fakers for their | betrayal ‘of the workers’ interests | in the following words: PAYS TRIBUTE TO LABOR FAKERS “As chairman of the banking and industrial committee of this district, I congratulate you all and beg you to push the battle for- ward (against labor—my em- phasis.
