i ; By Joseph Freeman=—— Little Rock, Ark. I am a Negro sharecropper in Arkansas, Plowing under cotton because the government told us to. The government promised to pay us for this, But I have plowed under five acres And haven’t gotten five cents. We have been told we'll get our pay in trade, Which means we get nothing at all. ot We've been holding meetings to find some way out of misery, ‘i And a lawyer named Jones came to us “ And urged us to join the Red Cross. i The nerve of this man Jones! To come and ask the sharecroppers to join the Red Cross Which discriminates against Negroes. We will not forget what the Red Cross Did to Negroes in the drought of 1931, And in the flood that swept the southern states! We know, too, that the landowners Don’t give a damn any more for white sharecroppers Than for Negro sharecroppers. We have heard that in Alabama— Camp Hill, Tuscaloosa, and other counties— Negro and white sharecroppers, Tenant and poor farmers, lave joined together in one union, the Sharecroppers Union Which is fighting the bloodsucking landowners, So we are now doing the same. Natien-Wide Broadcast president talks to the Federal Council of Churches. The gentleman vith the professional smile, Office Boy No. 1 for Big Business, smiles professionally to the assembly of sublime mediocrities who are god’s vicars on earth. And because the spirit of the people’s opium is floating over the racketeers in the realm spiritual, the representative of the racketeers in the realm temporarl slices the baloney with truly spiritual finesse, which in no manner, shape or form alters the : ssential essence of the baloney. Heavily dripping with oil, the epigrams drop smoothly from the presi~ dential lips like the disconcerting consequences from an infant thought- fully fed by a mother who never forgets that children cry for it. ° Honored—if one is permitted to cite the rare phrases of the Chief Executive of this Great Republic—by the privilege of speaking to the delegated representatives of the twenty-five Christian denominations as- sembled here, there, and everywhere, the Chief Executive of this Great Republic permitted himself the privilege of speaking a few particularly rare phrases to the delegated representatives assembled. * * * ISTEN, seventeen million workless workers; listen, sleepers of the public parks, breadline prisoners, broken families, dispossessed farmers; listen, Heywood Patterson, Charles Norris et al; listen, friends of George Arm- ae wood; listen, Tom Mooney; listen, strikers from Pennsylvania to California! * Keep your ears and minds wide open. The president is talking to the “™ priests. State and church are handing out the old counterfeits! The phrases stink with age and falsehood: peace—social justice—the abundant life—collective effort—social planning—new definition of prosperity. Lynch law is vile form of collective murder, says president who refuses to protect Scottsboro boys from lynch-threat. O sanctus, sanctus, sanctus! Sublime lingo of . the, higher. politics! “© Vast, O ifiméasurable, universal, infinite presidential smoke-screen! In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost and the Blue Eagle, an official jigsaw puzzle, spreading gigantically over a nationwide network, spells nuts to you my dear American people. . * . » International Solidarity M Hamburg there comes a thrilling tale of international working- class solidarity which will stir the hearts of working men and women “throughout the world. It is a story about the free workers of the Soviet ‘Union who extend their hands across seas and continents to the enslaved workers in capitalist lands battling for freedom. It is specifically about the sailors of the S. S. Bruno Tesch who sailed into Hamburg’s brown , harbor, bringing the fraternal and ardent greetings of the Soviet workers “to the workers of Germany. Not long ago, four young German Communists—Luetgens, Wolff, 4 “Moeller and 'Tesch—were beheaded by the Nazi executioner in Altona for os their revolutionary activities. The Soviet workers have honored the memory of these heroic fighters by naming one of their ships after Bruno Tesch, who went to his death shouting: “Long live the proletarian ” revolution!” Recently the Soviet steamship Bruno Tesch arrived at the port of “Hamburg in order to pick up a cargo of machinery purchased by Soviet * industry. The arrival in Germany's biggest port of a Soviet ship named after an executed anti-fascist fighter created a tremendous sensation throughout the city. The Hamburg workers were overjoyed at this sym- - bol of solidarity sent them by the Soviet workers. The Nazis were furious. ~ While the S. S. Bruno Tesch was loading, a group of armed Nazi storm- troopers boarded the vessel and, pointing their revolvers at the Soviet 3£commander, demanded that the name Bruno Tesch be at once removed from the ship's sides. % . ‘The captain of the Soviet ship calmly reminded the arrogant Nazis that the deck of the S. S. Bruno Tesch was Soviet territory. And on let. territory Nazis have no right to give orders or even to make re- paucsts. In fact, they had no right to be present there at all. Therefore, the gentlemen would have to leave the ship immediately. b The storm-troopers did not move. They kept pointing their revolvers .+at the Soviet commander, lost in the illusion they were bullying an un- armed Hamburg citizen. ce * * ae had forgotten something. From various parts of the ship there converged upon the storm-troopers an irresistible mass of Sovict work- Een, silent, determined and armed. It was tNe crew of the 8. 8. Bruno “Tesch, ready to defend their ship's right to the name of thetr herotc Ger- man comrade, The Nazis saw the grim faces of the Soviet sailors, their rifles, their hand-grenades. In a few minutes the decks were clear of Nazis, The name Bruno Tesch stays on the ship's sides, a symbol of the ‘solidarity between the workers in the Soviet Union and in the capitalist :;"countries. Into whatever port it sails, the 8, S. Bruno Tesch will be a ‘ ying symbol of international revolutionary unity; and wherever workers hear of the Hamburg incident, they will repeat it to other workers not “only as & symbol but as an example, Helping the Daily Wackes through Michael ae Ps * -$1.00 + 499.11 Yes sik!

Reichstag incendiarism was finally | announced to the world in August,| only Ernst Torgler of the four Com- munists accused was known to any| wide circle of people. And today? It) is hardly too much to say that for | two months now there has hardly | been a newspaper published in any country and in any language which has not continually been compelled | to publish the name of George Dimi- troff. Still more, Dimitroff himself has spoken to the world in the columns | of its newspapers, A tremendous propagandist power is wielded by this | name. Dimitroff, as even his most fu- | rious opponents are compelled to ad- mit, embodies the essence of what is known to the world as Communism. ‘When the protests of world public opinion compelled the national so- cialist rulers of Germany to come be- fore the bar of the world and attempt to prove the alleged guilt of the Com- the fire, Goebbels’ original plan of settling everything behind closed |doors and announcing the guilt of the accused to the world afterwards, had |to be abandoned, The “masttr of po- | litical Propaganda” had to cast around for “compromising material” to use against the accused. And what a miserable job he made of it Who could be found willing to assist in erecting the gallows for the four innocent accused? Who are the witnesses who “remembered” in Sep- tember and even in October only that they knew about the guilt of the ac- cused? Old lags from the prisons of Germany, convicted criminals from the concentration camps, a hungry journalist whose income had been attenuated owing to the decline of the Hugenberg press, tramps with pathological tendencies and hysteri- today held down by bayonets and scourged by the bloody terror of Hit- ler’s gangsters no one else could be found to take a part in Goebbels’ masterpiece of propaganda. Grothe and Karwahne. UT Goebbels was in error not only was likely to have, not only about the capacities of his chief actors,,but for a “walking on” role, namely, the four Communists accused. What a naive idea the fascist Minister Goebbels must have had about the stuff of which Communist leaders are made! Poor Goebbels carinot conceive that men who have been in prison manacled night and day for five months, completely isolated from the outside world and always living in the shadow of death, continually threatened with torture and murder, should be unbroken at the end of it all. But the first time Dimitroff is able to open his mouth before the court he declares proudly and defiantly: “I am here not as the accused, but as the acuser!” And in this sentence is his whole attitude throughout the process. The defense of his own per- son,.of his own life, is a subordinate matter for him. His aim is not to get out of the trial as lightly as pos- sible, but, despite the terrible danger which threatens him, to expose the real truth about the trial. The dock is his platform. From the dock he attacks fascism merci- lessly and fiercely. From the dock. he defends Communism brilliantly. He has his aim firmly in mind and pur- sues it unswervingly; not only to prove to the world that the Commu- nist Party had nothing to do with the burning of the Reichstag, but to point again and again to the guilt of the national socialists as the real in- cendiaries, IMITROFF is the first one to men- tion the notorious tunnel. Dimi- troff forces the court to deal again and again with the accusations in the “Brown Book.” Dimitroff calls scornfully to the court to look for witnesses on behalf of the defense in the concentration camps of fascism Dimitroff pillories the bloody regime of terror waged unceasingly by fas- ‘cism. Through Dimitroff, a man in ‘the shadow of death, Germany learns of things which otherwise the offi- cial press’ would never have men- tioned, Through Dimitroff sounds the voice of anti-Fascist Germany and the voice cf international proletarian btm in the struggle against fas- The president of the court, Dr. Buenger, raves; the public prosecutor raves; Goering and his fascist press rave, but Dimitroff continues his fight against them all unmoved. He tears down the painful constructions of the prosecution, exposes the per-| ;. jured witnesses, reveals the idocy of the evidence offered by the prosecu- tion, and the bourgeois journalists re- cord that the witnesses for the prose- cution waver and temporize the mo- ment they are called upon to face his cross-examination. And then the “great moment” of the trial comes. Minister Goering ap- Dears in court with all the pomp of a film Nero, The presence of Goering ++ $506.11 !in court is due to Dimitroff alone.

Against his will he is} compelled to throw doubt on the evi- dence of Grothe, the man upon whom Ithe whole prosécttion rests. And even the public prosecutor is unable to find convincing words to persuade the court that he believes in the truth of Grothe’s evidence. Once again, these things do not lessen the danger, for the verdict does not de- pend on Buenger; it was already in Goering’s pocket when he entered the court.
