Jim Larkin's Speech. The Congress was opened by Com- rade Jim Larkin, Jr., who outlined in very clear terms the purpose for which it was convened, and thn proceeded to characterize briefly the outstanding characteristics of the| situation in which it met and the nature of the problems and tasks it was called upon to deal with, He traced the background of Ire- land's historic struggle for inde- pendence, pointed out the tremen- dously favorable conditions for this| Struggle, which were swelling into maturity both nationally and on an international scale, and showed how the struggle of the Irish masses had| the backing and support of powerful | allies in the revolutionary movement of other countries, which would be| of the greatest assistance in helping | te achieve ultimate success. Just as the exploited and op- | pressed of the capitalist world | were increasingly rallying their | forces to smash the fetters which bound. them, so also would the | Trish working class, led by its own | Communist Party, play its part as | am integral part of the advancing world revolutionary movement, by its energetic struggle for the estab- lishment of the Irish Workers’ and Farmers’ Republic—the dictator- ship of the proletariat. Then followed the discussion on the most important document which ess had before it, namely, Manifesto to be issued in the name of the Irish Communist Party,| to the workers and toiling peasants of Ireland. The Manifesto. Comrade Sean Murray, in intro- ducing the Manifesto, stressed very | sharply the great significance of the | less: h it drew for the reyo-| Jutic working-class movement in| Ireland re was a document which gave a brief, historical survey of the stubborn fight of the Irish masses to objain their freedom over the past| 200 years. | An analysis of the many rebellions | which filled the pages of Irish his-| tosy showed that only one class, the working class of Ireland, acting as an imdependent force, could carry this| struggle through to a finish. | The course of Irish history had} proved that time and again the fight | of the Trish people had been sabo-| faged and led to betrayal by the Trish capitalists, and the represen-| tatives of the Irish petty-bourgeoisie In ali Irish rebellions the Irish working class had played a most energetic part. Now the hour for She final liberation of Ireland was drawing very near. Led by its own Communist Party the working class of Ireland in revolutionary allianee with the toiling masses of the Trish peasants could and would carry through the struggle for national aad social emancipa- tien to success. Both in Comrade Murray's intro. ductory speech and in the contribu- tions made by the delegates, em- phasis was laid on the reactionary} capitalist role being played by the| De Valera government and the rap- idly growing disillusionment and dis- content of the masses, against whom Mts social-reactionary policy was sharply directed. Many delegates pointed out also how a very strong ferment was go- ing on in the ranks of the I. R.

Roots In Factory. It was unanimously agreed that the most strenuous efforts must be made to win over the rank and file of the I. R. A. and to develop the greatest possible unity in action with them for the waging of the issues of | the mass struggle in all spheres. | In the discussions on the Mani- | festo of the Party and the resolution on economic struggles (introduced by Comrade Larkin), it was pointed gut} by many of the delegates that no} Stone must be left unturned to root | the Party deep in the factories, trade unions and among the workers at the Labor Exchanges. ‘This, as the Congress maderialiy Phebe, was the way te build the) ( the Trish | } Congress Growing Role) Party on a solid foundation, develop | its influence and mass _ activity among the workers and toilers, and carry forward the struggle energet-| ically against any threat of illegality.

We hold the President responsible for the lives of these boys.” The resolu- tion was sent to the Alabama auth- orities and to President Roosevelt.

Compromise Near Between Machado And Opposition HAVANA , June 19.—The com- | promise between President Macha- do's regime and the bourgeois oppo- sition camp is now being perfected in negotiations between the two fac- tions, The faculty of the closed Ha- vana University yesterday elected nine delegates to represent it in the forthcoming conferences’ with Am- bassador Sumner Welles, U. S. vice- roy in Cuba, who is preparing a set- tlement which will reconcile both bourgeois groups. In return for the cessation of all anti-government agitation by the cpposition bourgeois camp, President Machado is planning a shake-up in his cabinet, replacing some of the present incumbents with ministers closer to the Menocal-Gomez sugar interests. ‘The dissatisfaction and growing spirit of revolt among the long-suf- fering peons and agricultural labor- ers on the gian Plantations will not be stifled by this reconciliation be- tween the two bourgeois groups.

It begins with the declaration that 50,000 workers, men and women of 328, poor peasants and intellec- tuals are languishing in Nazi prisons and concentration camps. It proceeds to describe the scope of the terror which rages over Ger- many, under Hitler, following the same path as Mussolini, Horthy and | Pilsudski. ‘The heroic struggles of the work- revolts of the peasants, which are continually | breaking out in Germany, are proof ot the failure of the Fascists to “abolish the class struggle.” The manifesto declares that the open civil war which is being con- ducted against workers by Fascism in Germany, Poland, Hungary, Italy, Bulgaria, Jugoslavia, Ru- mania and the Baltic States, is only the prelude to the slaughter of nations which imperialism is preparing to let loose. Fascism is an_ international danger, a danger for the workers of the whole world. A group of powers, Germany, Ita- ly, Hungary and Bulgaria, says the nanifesto, are hastily arming for re- vision by force of the Versailles Treaty, in order to dictate a Ver- Sailles Treaty of their own. Another group of fascist powers, Poland, Jugoslavia and Rumania, are uniting under the guidance of “democratic” France to maintain the Versailles yoke. Planning War Against Soviet Union. And at the same time the im- perialists of all countries are plan- ning a “war of salvation” against the country of hanna the USSR.

Fascism cannot really be fought without severing all co-operation with the bourgeoisie. And the lead- ers of the Second International are not willing to break with the capi- talists. This is the real meaning of the decision of the Second International to boycott the Anti-Fascist Congrass.

Diplomatic Intrigues Are Paving Way for War | HEN, a few weeks ago, Roosevelt was holding his “conversations” — with representatives of various nations, we were asked to believe that ali barriers nad been removed that stood in the way of the success of the so-called world monetary and economic conference. Through the White House portals paraded the English prime minister, MacDonald; the French envoy, Herriot, followed by a score of representaitves of other countries. All the utterances of the participating statesmen echoed Roosevelt's optimistic assertions. ‘The conference is now in session, The fiction of yesterday vanishes before the reality of today. The United States delegates are carrying forward the policy of Wall Street—a policy of imperialist aggressiveness. It is a continuation of the same policies it has pursued from its inception. Inflation, about which the London conference is so concerned, was introduced hy the Reosevebt administration to carry further the attacks on the standards of life of the toiling masses of the United States and to enable the imperialises more effectively to carry on the struggle against its imperialist rivale abroad, On the cpening day MacDonald brought up the question of war debts, in defiance of the “agreement” with the United. States that thia question mus‘ be excluded from the agenda. The insistence that this question be excluded is explained by Roosevelt as “something separate from other international questions.” The attempt to reach an agreement for temporary pegging of the doller, which the capitalist press, politicians and economists ignorantiy refer to as “stabilization”, was repudiated by Roosevelt. It was clear from this that the polizy of inflation, with its beating down of the standards of life of the masses and its advantages in international trade, is to be pursued to the limit. Sunday came the announcement that an reached for a ten per cént all-around tariff reduction. this collapsed. Yesterday reports from London said the delegates to the conference were somewhat staggered. The British capitalist press hurls denunci- ations at the ‘American government, saying it has a “flippant attitude” toward the conference, The French press is “shocked”. England tries to strengthen its position politically against its imperialist rival, the United States, by say that vetoes from Washington on debts, tariffs and stabilization of currencies imperil the conference. That helps to cover up the maze of contradictions that are being continually intensi- fied in this, the end of capitalist stabilization. The plain fact is that capitalism has reached such a stage of decay that the Loncon conforence presents a spectacle of each against all— every nation strives for advantages ct the expense of every other netion, * * * HE one unmistakeable note in the conference is the desire of all capi [| talist powers to find a basis on,which to attack the one country im the world that has escnped the ravages of the crisis of the capitalist u world—the Soviet Union. The speech of the German representative, Hugenberg, was not merely an expression of the international banditry of the fascist regime. It showed that the Hitler cut-throats know that an anti-Soviet battle-crv will strike responsive chords in all delegations at the conference. This brazen proposal of Hugenberg that Germany regain its position as a colonial power, partly at the expense of the Soviet Union, which he proposes should be divided up among the pe laidnagse: is only the openly expressed aim of the aspirations of all of them. The inability of the London confersaee to maintain, even for a day, the illusion of the possibility of a peaceful way out, is a danger signal for the toiling masses of the whole world. It shows clearly that the hour is near when the diplomatic intrigues, the duplicity of the capital- ist statesmen will give way to the war lords who will carry out in a different form, that is to say a violent form, the policies now pursued by all the capitalist governments. agreement had been Within 24 hours Country-Wide Preparations for — June 24, National A: Anti-Fascist Day Giant London Anti- Fascist Tamoastration in Hyde Park Planned By British I.L.D. for June 27 NEW YORK.—Reports are begin- ning to pour in from all over the | United Statés, telling of the prep-| 5 |arations for united demonstrations on June 24, National Anti-Fascist Day, when the workers of America will manifest their solidarity with their German fellow-workers struggling against Fascism.

The present objective of the cap- | italists is, while preparing and carry- ing out the fundamental attack all along the line against the working class, to fill their minds with hopes | based on lies, forgeries, distortions. We will examine some of these dis- tortions which show the extreme ex- tent of the Roosevelt propaganda. The future will magnify these ex-/ amples, especially as the attacks against the workers grow greater, in erder to stave off the spirit of re- sistance that is now arising and which will grow in proportion to the attacks of the bosses, as well as in proportion to the growing experience, determination and organization of the American workers, Lying “Revival” Figures Buffalo, an important industrial centre will serve as a good example. The Industrial Research Department of the Buffalo Chamber of Com- merce has issued a series of figures to attempt to show signs of “revival” under the velt “plans.” It is worthwhile an- alyzing these dry figures which the bosses fling into the faces of the workers as proof of revival, because, as is usual with such statistics; they prove quite the opposite, They will serve as a good guide for the suspi- cion with which all workers should view and analyze such capitalist influence of the Roose-' | the A. F. of L, unions. | Comparing May ang years 1933 and 1932 (thi fort to contrast the Roosev Nn up- | swing a8 against the Hoover down- swing) the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce tries to get the workers to slacken their struggle for unem- ployment insurance, to starve on while wages are cut further. ‘Their prize exhibit consists of the following figures which are worth glancing over and analyzing: 1922 1933 —~--» $194,004,300 $195,253,928 163,630,244 221,167,628 BANK CLEARANCE! ~ $98,336,244 $102,580,939 89,210,416 117, 022,108 $179,829 176,059 $306,014 $285,134 294,746 322,713 one exception these fig- ures show precisely opposite to what the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce wants the workers to believe.

For example, (meaning mainly show a drop of $58,000,000 in April, 1933 as against April, 1932. In May, 1933, the drop below the previous year was around $1,000,000.

Now we come to the only excep- tion in these figures, the small rise in post office receipts for May and April of 1933, amount to a few thous- and dollars.

NEW YORK, June 18,—Louise Executive Secretary of the National Scottsboro Action Com- mittee, issued a statement today calling’ upon all Scottsboro Action Committees holding meetings this; coming week to rally all forces against the Hitler terror in Ger- many. The statement pointed out that the German workers were in the forefront of the fight which saved the Scottsboro boys from the electric chair on three essen Phe occasions. Two German workers were killed in Chemnitz while demonstrating for the freedom of the Scottsboro boys. ‘Scores of others were injt in various parts of Germany by the Hitler thugs who combined with the police in an attempt to smash dem- onstrations by the German workers for the Scottsboro boys. Speakers at all Scottsboro meet- ings this week will point out that the terror against the Scottsboro boys by the Alabama authorities 1s a manifestation in America of the same Fascist methods that are rag- ine in Hitler Germany.

Jewish and German organizations in St. Paul, Minn., are taking the initiative of calling a broad united front conference early in July. A large number of open forums, mass meetings and lectures have been held by the Communist Patty in the Twin Cities during the past few months to build the Anti-Fasciss movement, In preparation for June 24, a masa meeting was held in Grace Church, Denver, Colo., at which speakers, ine cluding William Dietrich of the Com- munist Party, pointed out the growth of Fascist trends in the United States itself.
