It is idle chatter to talk about the revolutionizing of the working class by the Party unless the Party conquers a firm basis for itself among the miners, metal and steel workers, railroad workers, auto, marine and textile workers. It is idle chatter to speak about the leading role of the Party without establishing contacts with the decisive strata of the workers, mob- ilizing these workers and winning them over to our side. ‘Talk about the defense of the Soviet Union and struggle against imperialist war is nothing but empty Phrases unless systematic work is carried out in the war industry plants and in the ports; talk of struggle against social-fascism is nothing but empty phrases unless the struggle is carried on from day to day in the big factories, in the reformist unions and among the unemployed. It is nothing but phrase-mongering to speak about building up the Party and the revolutionary trade unions without doing this among the important bodies of *orkers, in the big factories, in the important in- dustrial sections. It is idle chatter to talk about the necessity of new cadres without developing them from among these very sections of workers.’—From the Open Letter, hould understand mong the decisive ele- | the Party cannot lead | gave the | back into the long-estab- | He Alone Means It ITH a frankness that has not yet appeared in those capitalist newspapers that make a pretension of the tabloid New York Daily News gives the entire rottenness and fraud of the promises being strewn with such generous profuseness by Mayoralty candidates of capitalist Says News “All the candidates for Mayor are promising the voters that the city will go on furnishing subway rides at two cenis below cost, and water at less than cost, and will go on educating 1,000,000 chil- dren free of charge... and will pay over $100,- 000,000 a year interest on debt and also reduce taxes. . . . That is impossible, and we suspect that everybody knows it. . . . Such promises are what voters want in a democratic country. .. .” This is very interesting—for many reasons. In the first. place, it places a true evaluation on the prom of the LaGuardias, the McKees, the O’Briens and the Solomons. In the second place, it unconsciously gives away the real reason why every one of the candidates of the capitalist parties will be forced to raise the subway fare, maintain the present ‘increase in water rates and even increase it still further, and institute drastic slashes in the budget of the Board of Education. znity,” the parties. the 'T is in the next to the last sentence that the News gives the whole story away IT IS THE IN- TEREST PAY. NTS TO THE WALL STREET ANKERS, AMOUNTING TO OVER $100,000,000 A YEAR, THAT REQUIRES THE ENORMOUS BUR- 29ENS WHICH THE CITY GOVERNMENT PLACES ON THE BACKS OF THE PEOPLE. The News very deliberately omits to mention the name of the Communist candidate, Robert Minor. The reason is that he alone has exposed the capitalist conspiracy of silence on the five-cent fare, and the ecret agreement to raise it They that he alone would stop the enormous tribute the Wall Street banks chisel from the city every year. He alone, ot all the candidates, would tear up the Untermyer tax agreement the very first day that he took office. He alone would levy a heavy capital tax on the Wall Street millionaires and cor- porations. He alone would smash the huge transit stock structure upon which the city’s workers must pay interest, etc. The News has some blunt words about that capital- ist “democracy” for which it will some day call upon the workers to die on the battlefields—exactly as the capitalist press did in the last 1917 slaugher. With unabashed cynicism, it states: “The price we pay for democracy .. . is the fact that we vote for candidates, not on the basis of their efficiency or fitness for office so much as on their ability to sing sweet songs to various racial and religious groups, and smear sweet scented goose grease over all the voters.” This is quite a revelation. But not for the reason that the News gives. It is not the desire of the work- ers that they be smeared with sweet scented goose grease. They want relief from hunger, lower rents, lower taxes, more schools, unemployment insurance, etc The goose grease comes from the fact that the city government is nothing but @ tributary of the Wall Street banks. The goose grease is to hide that fact. And the News, for all its cynical talk, is not cynical enough to tell the workers this whole truth about the matter. It is because Minor knows full well the fraud of that capitalist “democracy” of which even the tabloids are becoming so cynical, that the capitalist papers are so careful to keep his name from the workers. It is because he exposes it as the sugar-coating that con- ceals the dictatorship of Wall Street bankers, that | the News is quiet about him. ‘A Delibe The News is silent on Minor, because he alone of all the candidates means what he says. And the News knows it. T= Supreme Court of the United States has just decided that the lynch courts of Virginia can have the body of George Crawford, Negro worker framed on murder charges. They have decided that Crawford must be sent back to Virginia from Massachusetts, where he wants to be tried. The Massachusetts judge, Lowell, had refused to grant Virginie the right to extradite Crawford, on the ground that Negroes in Virginia are denied the right to sit on juries, There is a grisly significance in the fact that the Supreme Court decision coincides with the marked rise in lynch violence against the Negro people, that it practically coincides with news of another savage lynch feast in Maryland. The Supreme Court decision is a calculated an- to the struggles of the Negro masses, rising against their unendurable oppression. There can be no question about this. It is an illusion to believe that the Supreme Court does not hear the voice of its capitalist masters, and serve its current needs. The significance of the Supreme Court decision is that this body of allegedly “impartial” judges—all the more deadly and dangerous for its veneer of judicial aloofness from the common class struggles of the day— has gone officially on record as considering the jim- crowism of the Virginia Courts something that must swer not be disturbed, something against with which no } fault can be found. For it certainly is incredible that these august Judges dare to deny the existence of | jim-crowism. Tt must leap to the mind of every worker that this decision means the gravest danger to the lives of the nine Scpttshoro boys, as well as to the life of Craw- ford! The Supreme Court does not consider it a matter worthy of serious attention that Negroes are barred from juries in Southern Courts. What is this if not throwing the full legal authority of the Supreme Court in support of the whole hideous system of jim-crowism in the courts? Pge Ree H hens Crawford case emphasizes not only the ruling class character of the Supreme Court, but reveals in a ghastly light how sinister are the attempts of the jeaders of the National Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People to conceal the ruling class character of every capitalist court—up to the Supreme Court. of The N.A.A.O.P. consistently fought to keep the case strictly within the bounds of -capitalist, legality. The voices of the Negro masses and the white workers were deliberately kept out of the courts. No mass indignation, no mass actions, meetings, demonstra- tions, telegrams, were permitted. The result is obvious. Crawford is being handed over to the tender mercies of the Southern lynch court without any mass resistance being offered. ‘The International Labor Defense, the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, have been fighting to or- ganize the anger of the Negro and white masses on the Crawford frame-up. They still are ready and eager to co-operate in building up around Crawford the only wall that can save him—mass pressure. It is with the Negro and white masses that the Crawford and Scottsboro decisions rest. It is the million-throated roar of the masses that has thus far kept the nine Scottsboro boys out of the hands of the executioner. And it is the only force that can save them and Crawford. Renewed vigilance for the Scottsboro boys! Rally, Negro and white, to Crawford's defense! rate Lynch Verdict |“We understand the Negro and know how to treat him.” —Goy. Ritchie of Maryland.

Deveioping the struggles today, the working class, under the leadership of its Party, the Communist Party of Cuba, is preparing for the great and perhaps decisive battles of the Zafra, the sugar harvest. It is then that hundreds of thousands of work- ers gather on 158 great plantations and it is then that strikes of unpre- cedented magnitude here will de- velop.
