WIRE ROOSEVELT EDITORIAL cape en The Roosevelt Government and The Scottsboro March On Saturday morning, the New York contingent of the Scottsboro march leaves for Washington. The American masses, Negro and white, are determined that the Decatur Jyhch verdict against Haywood Patterson, and the lynch verdicts against the nine innocent Scottsboro boys shall not be executed. The Decatur lynch decision has electrified the masses into action against the whole system and the national oppression of the Negro people Negro and white, they are resolved that the lynch terror and the jim- ¢row degradation of the Negro masses must once and for all be ended. What do the Scottsboro marchers demand? This historic march will confront Roosevelt and the whole federal government at Washington with the question of the centuries-long op- pression of the Negro people. It will compel Roosevelt and the United States government to break their silence on the Scottsboro lynch verdicts. The marchers will remind Roosevelt that he is sworn to uphold the 18th, 14th and 15th amendmentssof the constitution, guaranteeing the Negro people elementary civil rights, the right to vote, the right to sit on juries, etc. They will demand that Roosevelt make good the honeyed promises which he made so freely to the Negro people before his election. The Negro and white masses are aware that the struggle for the lives of the Scottsboro boys is part of ‘the struggle for the liberation of the whole Negro people. * How serious is the challenge: of the Scottsboro March to the whole lynch system can be gauged by the frenzy amd cunning of the demagogy of the various groups that are attempting te cripple the movement. \ From Tammany Hall to the N.A.A.C.P. and the Negro reformists, they all are trying to break the confidence of the masses in the effective- hess of the march The Scottsboro Marchers demand that, President Rooseyelt enforce the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the\constitution. The Scottsboro Marchers demand that the Scottsboro boys shall not die. And all the reformists and enemies of the Negro masses say is that, “President Roosevelt has no power to interfere.” “We must wait till the Supreme Court acts’. “The march is unconstitutional.” ,_, President Wilson also “had no power to interfere”, in the case of Tom ‘Mooney in 1917. But the storm of workers’ protests forced him to find “power to interfere.” The Negro reformists told the Negro people to leave the nine Scotts- boro boys in the hands of the Alabama judges. Today, the whole world knows that if this had been done, if the Communist Party,and the Inter- national Labor Defense had not roused the powerful protest of the workers of the world, that the nine Scottsboro boys would have been executed two years ago. Today, the Negro refermists of the N.A.A.CP., etc., continue the same advice. But the Negro and white masses have learned that their protest, combined with the protest of the peoples of the world alone will save the Scottsboro boys. The Negro and white masses are learning that only mass actions will destroy lynch terror, jim-crowism, and the whole system of national op- pression of the Negro people. * * A Congress for Defeating Working Class Action en awe ‘The so-calied Continental Congress of Workers and Farmers for Economic Reconstruction, a venture under the complete domination of the reactionary leadership of the Socialist Party, is an attempt to sabot- age the movement of the toiling masses for united front struggle against the capitalist offensive. When these social-fascist leaders see the movement of rank and file workers in their own party and in the reformist trade unions advancing jeward united action with revolutionary workers they deliberately set about the job of trying to disrupt and disintegrate that movement. In- stead of participating in the real united front of the working class and the struggle of the impoverished farmers the Socialist leaders are trying io sidetrack this by cailing this congress against the United Front. They try by every means to exclude from their . “congress” all workers from mass organizations and to pack the thing with self-appointed “leaders.” . They did not invite the Trade Union Unity League and many other working class organizations. Although it was plain that the purpose of the Socialist leaders was to bar all militant workers’ organizations the ‘Trade Union Unity League wrote to them and asked that it be made an all-inclusive gathering of the toiling masses. No reply was received. A letter requesting a reply also.remains unanswered. ‘These Socialist leaders are afraid the rank and file delegates will de- mand that the congress go on record to participate in the mass strug- gles of the workers and farmers for unemployment and social insurance, for freedom for Mooney and the Scottsboro boys, against forced labor, for the fight against foreqlosures and for immediate emergency relief for the impoverished farmers, for the struggle against the Roosevelt attacks on the Veterans, for genuine action against the war-mongers. A review of the “order of business” of that Socialist-dominated con- gress reveals that in the most deliberately vague and indefinite way the — Dai Central “Vol. X, No. 107 om HEDGES ON Entered as seco! 10 HEAR DEMANDS OF SCOTTSBORO MARCHERS Uy Org New York, N. ¥.

S. Constitution, which are supposed to guarantee the derhocratic rights of the Negro people. Yesterday’s delegation consisted of Samuel C. Patterson, chairman of the National Scottsboro Action Commit- tee; William N. Jones, editor of the Baltimore Afro-American; Frank ‘Spector, assistant national secretary of the International Labor Defense; Bernard Ades and Dr. Albert Blum- berg of the Baltimore Action Com- mittee, Richard B. Moore, of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, and Elinor Mish and Louis Colman of the Boston and New York National Committee for the Defense of Poli- tical Prisoners. Does Not “Approve” of March Howe said he did not. “approve” of the march, and declared that it “smacks of bullying.” The reason | Roosevelt cannot see any delegates |May 8, Howe said, is that “he is | | seeing only those he sends for,” such as foreign delegates and representa- tives of foreign governments and those members of our government whom he “wishes to consult about pending legislation.” “As for the Scottsboro case, that s | still in the courts,” Howe said, fash- , ioning an elaborate alibi for the Dem- ocvatic Party lynch rulers of Ala- \bama. “And you know our constitu- tion—it does not allow the President | to interfere with such a thing. If the | final verdict. is adverse when the courts are through, that will be an entirely different matter. At this stage of the game, to infer that at the end you are not going to get justice is unfair, and it doesn’t look right. ‘The State of Alabama would resent it and would be perfectly jus- tified in resenting it.” Tries to Evade Issue Roosevelt's lieutenant began to count off on his fingers the branches of government, the Legislative, the Administrative and the Judicial. “You see,” he told the Committee, “the President cannot interfere with either the Legislative or the Judicial.” oe What wif probably happen will be | that he will take this with him on Sunday when he goes out on the | waters to attend all the multitudinous | things that he cannot take care of during the week.” Promises Answer Monday | | When pressed, however, Howe said | |he would give an answer to the re- quest of the committee for an ap- | poinment with President Roosevelt on Monday Morning. | Regarding the Bill of Civil Rights, | Roosevelt’s secretary sought to evade this issue by “advising” the Scotts- boro Committee to “present it to} someone in Congress and get. it in- troduced.” That, he said, “is the proper way to do it.” Pressed again and it being pointed out to Howe that the President fre- quently asks congress to enact meas- ures, Howe agreed to present the bill to Mr. Roosevelt. “This is a pretty hopeless sort of a time to bring this bill up,” Howe said solemnly. “Congress is chiefly engaged in seeing how soon they can get home before the weather gets hot. This is not a regular session. In a regular session they might take this up. RELIEF BUREAUS STOP ALL RENT PAYMENTS HERE NEW YORK.—Vicious cuts in re- lief to unemployed families it was learned yesterday will be instigated | by the Home Relief Bureaus here im- mediately. No rent checks are to be paid for any family, whether on the relief list or not, or whether they are evicted on. to the streets. No more food checks are to be issued to any family not yet on the lists and those | who are on the lists but have not yet | received their first food ticket are also to be cut off. Families are to be instructed by in- vestigators after applications are “accepted” that the jobless will have to go to the city lodging houses for shelter or live with relatives. ‘The reason for the sham accept- ance of applications is twofold. Firstly to drive jobless families through a maze of legal technicalities and thus drive many to give up attempting to get relief and second to “stay within the law” which requires the accep- tance of such applications.

From some organizations participating there will be working class delegates. These delegates have a great responsibility before the working class. That is to unmask and defeat the attempts of these leaders to split the united front, The mighty May Day demonstrations this year showed that the elemental movement of the embattled toiling masses for unity of action can break through the criminal sabotage of the yellow leaders, At the Washington congress the rank and file working class dele- gates should hold aloft the ‘bammer of’ united action in order to beat back the offensive of the hunger and.war government and turn it into a coun- ter offensive all along the line.
