Life itself—extreme poverty, crimination, lynch-law, national op- pression, and the growing determi- nation to find a way out, gave birth to this Conference, “The Young Communist League is an organization of Negro and white youth. It is the youth organization | that leads in the struggle against the | special oppr on of the Negro youth, | knowing clearly that this struggle can | only succeed if both Negro and white | youth are mobilized and united. That | is why the Young Communist Le «gue | wages a bitter fight against all poi-| nous “white-superiority” ideas | among the youth who are still under the “divide and rule” influences of the ruling class, Unite Negro and White Youth “Therefore, we especially greet the | decision of the Conference Commit- | tee to also invite white delegates. | This act will certainly help the white | youth to better see and understand the problems of theit Negro brothers. | Most important, it will be a real step | }in cementing the growing unity of |the Negro and white toiling youth | and students, which is the decisive thing in the struggle for Negro eman- cipation.” Workers Attracted by C.

Y. “Age” Distorts Daily Worker Article to Knife Scottsboro Defense By SENDE HE New York “Age”, a reactionary quotes from an article which appeared in the Party Life column of the ron May 31 under the head Daily Wo: on the Negro Question.” The “Age” is owned by Fred R in Harlem and former New York Al- derman. It was Moore who several months ago told a workers’ commit- tee which asked him to protest the Scottsboro lynch vefdict that “I am quite comforiably situated and have no fear of lynch mobs coming to my office in Harlem.” Cynically, he told the committee that “he wasn’t in- terested.” Written by Jim Mallory, editor of the Southern Worker, the article in the “Daily” had called attention to serious opportunistic mistakes which had been made in the South, and told of the energetic fight being made by the Communist Party against | these tendencies. Crude Distortions A comparison of the original article in the Da: Worker with the article in the “Age” shows the dastardly method used to poison the minds of the readers of this Negro paper against the Communist Party and the} |International Labor Defense, out- dis- | standing fighters for the rights of the | Negro people. What is the method? It is simply to quote the “damag- ing” references made by Comrade Mallory to the opportunist errors | which had been made in the work in the South, and omitting the sharp, For example, the “Age” quotes this paragraph from Comrade Mallory's article: “In the preparation of leaflets in Birmingham for May Day, 1933, the demands for Negro rights were deiib- erately omitted from certain leaflets. It was explained that these leaflets were for the eyes of the white work- ers.” The “Age” fails to print following sentence — extremely the im- “The Agitprop Commission of the Central Committee condemned these leaflets in the sharpest terms.” . NOTHER example: The “Age” quotes a paragraph from Comrade Mallory’s article, as follows: “Some white non-Party mem... .5 in irmingham suggested a united front icket for the October, 1933, city elec- tions. They believed that such a tick- et would be highly successful, on con- dition that all nominees be white. It 1s neither surprising nor scandalous that white workers in the heart of the South, without previous contact with our movement, should make such a suggestion. What is highly scanda- lous, is that many of the leading com- rades in the district favored the con- cession.” The “Age,” in line with its deter- mination to distort this Communist criticism of inexcusably wrong ac- tions into a justification of these ac- Bi ti eactionary Negro Paper Falsifies Criticism on South categorical criticism of these errors. | portant—which follow this ‘criticism: | | Heat Hits Workers Hardest | | R GARLIN.
