THURSDAY, JANUARY li, 1934 Green--Police Provocateur 3 A “MYSTERIOUS” 178-page document submitted to Roosevelt, William Green, head of the American Federation of Labor, speaking for the upper A. F. 7f L. officialdom, makes a bid to become the leader of an organized police drive against the growth of the revolutionary movement of the working class. This document, originally presented to Roosevelt as part of the A. F. of L. officialdom fight against | Soviet recognition, is a mixture of the usual ignorant lies, slanders, forgeries, topped off with a call for the destruction of the revolutionary trade unions with the active assistance of a new secret Federal police, the es- tablishing of which the A. F. of L. eagerly urges. “Our government,” says Green, “should warm American wage earners against joining these camou- flaged unions, by placing a catalogue of these revo- lutionary organizations in the home of every worker.” In this appeal to the capitalist government at Washington to act as strikebreaker and club against the revolutionary unions, Green and his official col- leagues are carrying the instructions of their true masterg the barons of the Stee] Trust, who fear the | Tevolutionary Steel Workers Union, the orders of the | bloody coal barons, who hate and fear the National Miners Union, the orders of the greedy testile bosses, who fear the National Textile Workers Union. In this appeal, Green offers to place himself at the head of a semi-Fascist tie-up with the govern- ment to crush the activities of the militant workers in the factories and mines, E ipod GREEN gives his plan. He proposes: “...the best operations of a United States secret service, now non-existent, to discover the methods weed, and to trace the disposition of the funds...without doubt supplied by Soviet Russia.” ‘There is not a worker in America, in the A. F. of L. locals, in the revolutionary trade unions, or among the unorganized whose blood will not boil with hatred at the spectacle of this $20,000 a year “labor leader” crawling before Roosevelt, the leading repre- sentative of the Wall Street government, calling for the establishment of a secret gang of spies, agents provocateurs and stool pigeons for the penetration and Gestruction of the militant movement of the working class, Green, head of the most corrupt trade union bu- Teaueracy in the world, insults the working class by coughing up the stale slanders that every stool pigeon, every rabid reactionary, every big and little Ham Fish spills about “financing from Soviet Russia” for the Comin in this country. Green knows, as well as every government offi- cial knows, as well as Roosevelt knows, that the Com- munist Party is a legal, American political party, that is supported by the loyalty and devotion of the work- ing class who recognize it as the leader of thelr struggles against the capitalist employers. ‘The Daily Worker, leading organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, has just suc- cessfully completed a drive for $40,000 to sustain the Paper in its fight against capitalist wage slavery. Were these thousands of dollars, dimes, pennies, sent to the Daily Worker from every part of the working class, given in sacrifice and heroism so that the Communist Paper might live and grow—were these sacrifices from “the Moscow funds”? It is by such devotion that the American working class supports its own revolutionary Party. Sia goes even further in his sinister provocations against the revolutionary trade unions and Com- munist Party. He accused them of murder and assas- sination, saying: “Cases of assassination in the United States under the auspices of the O. G. P. U. are cited . U.S. Government departments are penetrated by these agents .. . obtaining confidential information for the benefit of the Soviet regime...” “. . . Bessedowski, . . . estimated that the O. G. 1 P. U, expenses in the United States would not exceed $50,000,000 a year...” A¢ is with such filth as this that Green comes to the Wall Street government at Washington, calling for a brutal police crusade against the revolutionary working class movement. It is from the slime of a working class traitor, Bessedowski, former employee at the Soviet Embassy, now gracing the ranks of Trotsky- ism, that Green dishes up his bogeys to frighten his capitalist masters into speeding the formation of the i coveted secret Cossack gangs, which he would so love tovlead. Ti this Green document is the grossest kind of perjury. Green could not produce a shred of evidence for these stool pigeon fantasies of his, hatched out of the brain of a man whose name is affixed to the slave WN. R. A. codes, who has led hundreds of thousands of _ workers into the trap of N. R. A. strikebreaking “ar- _ bitration,” whose thugs and henchmen have com- Z ane more than one murder to crush the rebelion the rank and file workers in the factories and mines, . Green's proposgls for a secret police are only the _ forerunner of what is already in the minds of the = government. Senator Copeland has more — once urged its creation, “against crime” allegedly.

Hardly is his signature dry on one order granting | millions for war, when another comes up. Yesterday, Representative Fred. E Britten of Illinois introduced a resolution before Congress asking for the Construction program. The proposal has the obvious approval of the Roosevelt government. | The Navy has received $300,000,000 from the reg- | wlar budget. It got another $238,000,000 from the “Public Works Fund.” It got many more millions | disguised as appropriations for “harbor improvements,” and appropriations for “aeronautics.” The Roosevelt government has displayed extra- ordinary skill and energy in getting hundreds of mil- | Mons—for the Navy. For unemployment insurance, for adequate relief, Roosevelt cannot find any money, For bombs, battleships, machine guns, destroyers, Roosevelt has managed to find more than ONE BIL- LION dollars within six months. For the hungry, job- | less millions he has no funds—the “budget must be | balanced,” he tells the jobless—“balanced” to provide | huge subsidies for Wall Street, and huge appropria- | tions for war. Today five big war Navy planes took off for Hawaii | for @ record over-water flight. This trip will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. What is it for? The Roosevelt government talks of “science,” and “ad- vance in aviation.” The true meaning of the Hawaii trip is that it is a war practice trip to test the war | efficiency of the naval bombing planes in trips over | the Pacific! | In his message to Congress, Roosevelt sounded the note of war! The budget carries enormous ex- | | penditures for war! | | The war aviation industry, the latest Congress- ional investigations reveal, is corruptly bound to the Washington Government machine, and Roosevelt is “cleaning it” to increase the efficiency of the indus- try. The government subsidizes the war aviation in- dustry. War brings frightful misery to the masses. It | brings hunger, privation, and death. It does not | bring “prosperity” for the workers. | The Roosevelt government has organized industry | under the N.R.A. codes so that a minimum of workers | cam be speeded up to such a degree that even the tre- of jobless. The jobless will be sent to the battlefields. Wages do not rise. The Roosevelt N.R.A. code “minimum” will take care of that. Prices will rise even more than ever. The cost of living will tighten the noose of hunger and misery about the throats of the worker. Only Wall Street will gorge itself with profits. The Steel Trust, the coal barons, the ofl kings, will reap profit harvests. Roosevelt's whole New Deal program, wit hits sub- sidies to Wall Street, its tremendous war appropria- tions, is ® program of preparation for imperialist war. The organization of the struggle against Roose- velt's war program is a task that grows more urgent every day. American imperialism is driving furiously to war. We must enlighten the soldiers and sailors, exposing for whose benefit Roosevelt gets ready the war machine. The struggle against the Roosevelt plans for an- other war slaughter for Wall Street imperialism must be taken into the factories, shops, A. F. of L. unions, | Socialist Party locals, marine centers, railroad terminals and freight yards. Committees of workers in the tran- | Sportation industries should be formed to stop the shipment of munitions. In the strategic parts of the | aviation industry, chemical, and engineering indus- | tries, we must form committees of workers who will | organize against war shipments in the interests of | Wall Street, . The F.S.U. Convention [O ONE can deny the deeply felt sympathy for the | Soviet Union which reaches the most widespread sections of the population, which is felt among the working class, is widespread among the socialist work- ers in the trade unions, among the small, ruined farm- ers, intellectuals, professionals, small tradespeople, etc. | This deep interest and loyalty to the Soviet Union exists because the masses are growing aware that the Soviet Union is the hope of the toiling peoples who desire peace, the end of the curse of unemployment | and poverty and economic insecurity. ‘This desire to know more about the Soviet Union, this interest in its work, this loyalty and devotion to its Socialist construction, can and must become a | Powerful weapon for the defense of the- Soviet Union, against the imperialist war plotters who secretly plan to seize it and carve it up for capitalist-colonial ex- ploitation, In this work of giving organized expression to the sympathy that exists for the Soviet Union, in the work of spreading the truth about the Soviet Union, the Friends of the Soviet Union takes a leading part. Particularly at the present time, with the inspir- ing victories of the First Five-Year Plan and the launching of the Second, the F.S.U. has great op- portunities for growth and development, The F.S.U. has fought against the crude lies, the slanders, the distortions and bogeys that the capitalist press has diligently built up in this country against the Soviet Union, It contributed to the profound sympathy for the Soviet Union, which played a part in the Roosevelt recognition of the US.S.R. Let it not be forgotten that as the world crisis deepens, the danger of imperialist intervention against the Soviet Union grows greater all the time. The lies and slanders against the Soviet Union increases. ‘The F'.S.U, is the main bulwark in the struggle against anti-Soviet poison propaganda. It is the organization that unites all who sympathize and defend the Soviet Union, ‘That is why the Communist Party gives its whole- hearted support to the coming National Convention of the F.S.U., to be held in New York City, January 26, 27, and 28. ‘This National F.S.U. Convention will take steps toward welding all the yast numbers of People, of all Political complexions, into one broad mass organi- zation for the defense of the Soviet Union. It is the duty of every Party member and sym- pathizer to be energetic in bringing up the question of delegates to this Convention. Let us try to get delegates from the shops, union locals, A. F. of L. unions, fraternal organizations, Particularly, let us go to our fellow workers in the Socialist Party locals with the invitation to form a united front for the defense of the Soviet Union against lies and intervention.

This line is designed to fa- cilitate Japanese troop movements to- ward Vladivostok, Soviet port. In March, 1933, when the Japanese puppet government of Manchukuo was set up in conquered Manchuria, the toiling population of Kangtao province rose in revolt against the Japanese. Soviets were set up under the leadership of the revolutionary group “Tachi-Kai” and the Commu- nist Party of China. At that time, Japanese troops were busy suppress- ing rebellions in. other provinces of Korea and in Manchuria and could not suppress the Kangtao revolt for more than a month. Many workers and peasants were killed when, final- | ly, a Japanese punitive expedition was sent into the province. Mass arrests eo the suppression of the re- vol F. 8. U.

Assassinated Jan. 10th in Mexico City by Machado Agents Yesterday—Jan. 10—was the fifth anniversary of the brutal murder by hired assassins of the butcher Ma- chado, of Julio Mella, brilliant young masses, It was on the corner of the lighted Morelos St., in Mexico City, that two armed assassins the American puppet government of ago, brutal murder as follows: “The assailants were so near that Tina Modotti (another member of the Communist. Party who accompa- nied Mella onthe fatal night) was burned by the flash of their guns. Mella fell, wounded, as the assassins darted away. He was rushed to the hospital where he was operated on for two hours. At first recovery seemed possible, but at 1 a.m. Mella relapsed and at 1:59 he was dead.” carta. 8 The Grau-Batista government on Sept. 29, 1933, murdered a Young Pioneer in an-attack on a funeral vana, which, “burying the ashes of Mella, 3 had been shipped from Mexico. Thus Grau is continu- ing the same policy of terror and assassination which preyailed during Machado’s reign as dictator.

His pictures appear in several col- umns on the pages of many of these Papers and magazines, flanked by glowing and shallow and hypocritical eulogies which skillfully avoid all mention of the real significance of Mella’s life and death. Schools, bridges, nurseries—these are being named after the murdered Commu- nist leader, as a result of the press- ure of the upsurge of the masses of Cuba during the past few months. ‘These masses—the proletariat, the peasantry and the anti-imperialist masses of all the Caribbean coun- tries and the United States—are commemorating Julio Mella’s death. Pane is The murder of Mella was planned by Machado and Trujillo, chief of the secret poize of Havana. The lawyer Amaral and the Cuban am- bassador to Mexico, Mascaro, pre- pared the crime in Mexico. Mar- grinat, (recommended by Mario G. Menoccal to Machado), M. Lopez Va- lino and a lieutenant of the Cuban army, were those who perpetrated the crime with the support of Val- entin Quintana, the chief of the se- eret police of Mexico, and the gov- ernment of Portes Gil of the “rev- olutionary family’ who covered up the crime. Mella began his revolutionary career, taking the leadership in the occupation of the University during the student movement in 1923. This movement led to the organization of the National Federation of Students and the establishment of the univer- sity autonomy in which students, professors, etc., were to administer the university. ‘These were the first steps of Mella in the revolutionary movement. Im- mediately after that Mella entered the workers’ movement to which he of Murdered JULIO A. MELLA devoted the rest of his life. He or- ganized the reception to the Russian ship “Vorowsky,” which arrived in Cardenas, and afterward participated in a series of demonstrations and anti-imperialist actions. Later he or- ganized the popular university under the name of “Jose Marti.” The uni- versity was the center of revolution- ary education, He later participated actively in the workers’ movement, helping the leadership of the National Cuban Confederation of Labor. Mella par- ticipated in the founding of the Com- munist Party of Cuba, and in the first constituent Congress of the Par- ty. From this congress he emerged as the Agitprop Secretary of the Cen- tral Committee, a post that he held until November 27, 1925, when he was Julio Mella Heritage of Murd ered Leader Belongs to _ Communists under the pressure of the masses. Machado attempted three times to assassinate him in Havana. Mella was then forced to leave the coun- try_at the beginning of 1926. Outside of Cuba, Mella participated in the workers movement in Guate- mala, working in the Communist Party there. He was deported from Guatemala. In Mexico, he was gen- eral secretary of the Communist Par- ty, and later, secretary of the All- American Anti-Imperialisi League, organizer of the’ Caribbean Secreta-|' riat of the LL.D. He also participated in the organization of the Mexican Unitary Confederation of Labor, and many other organizations. Mella represented the Anti-Impe- vialist Leagues af Mexico and Cuba at the First World Anti-Imperialist Congress held in Brussels in 1927. He attended the Fourth Congress of the R1ILU. and the Sixth Congress of the Communist International. -The anniversary of the assassina- tion of Mella this year, which takes place in the present conditions in Cuba, has been made the occasion for a broad mass mobilization thru- out the Caribbean in support of the revolutionary struggle in Cuba. eres Despite the attempts of the present Grau government to cash in on Mel- Ja’s life and death, despite the hypo- critical words of those who would use his name and his activity to cover deeds which Mella would still be fighting against if he were alive to- day, the revolutionary workers of the United States and the Caribbean countries must remember, on this, the fifth anniversary of his murder, |cessionists in Fukien Province.
