The Nazis do not want another Dimitroff. They know that if the Dimitroff trial is repeated, Com- yade Thaelmann will make a world spectacle of the bloody fascist hounds, and turn the trial into an exposure of the Hitler regime and rallying point for struggle for the overthrow of fascism. ‘They are plotting to kill him by torture in his cell, or to rush through a secret trial and haye him be- headed instantly. Never was the life of Comrade Thaelmann in such danger as it is at this very moment. 'HERE must be the widest action by all enemies of fascism now to arouse the broadest indigna- tion and protest against this vicious murder plot of the Nazi executioners. There can be no delay, because the Nazis are not losing a moment to hasten the slaughter of the leader of that pasty they fear most—the Com- munist Party of Germany. very wi ’ organization should immediately place on its order of business the matter. of pro- test, of demanding the freedom of Comrade Thael- mann. Cables should be sent immediately to Hit- ler and Goering, protesting the torture of Thael- mann, demanding his release. Wires, resolutions, protests, should flood the Nazi embassy in Wash- ington. Mass meetings should immediately be prepared to rally the workers against the new Nazi murder degrees, centering the fight for the liberation of Comrade Thaelmann, and other fascist prisoners. Demonstrations should be arranged at all Ger- man consulates, with the broadest mobilization of all workers and enemies of fascism. In New York the immediate point of the great- est mobilization in this campaign against the Nazi murder plans is the anti-Nazi torchlight parade set for Thursday, May 10, through the Nazi stronghold in New York. The parade takes place on the first anniversary of the Hitler de- struction of the books of all the leading writers opposed to fascism, or whose works are considered against the Nazi regime. The Parade starts at Karl Schurz Park, 86th St. and Avenue A. It should be made into a mon- ster demonstration against the Nazi regime in Ger- many and for the release of Comrade Thaelmann and other anti-fascist fighters. An N.R.A. Crisis OOSEVELT warns against “crying ‘wolf.’” General Johnson calls for an- other flood of cheap ballyhoo “to revive the enthusiasm for the N. R. A. which has Japsed.” If the N.R.A. had brought any benefits to the masses, there would he no necessity for these warnings, for this new wave of ballyhoo, The workers and farmers would not need any warn- ings or stimulations. But the N.R.A., after one year, has been a rousing success—and a ghastly failure. Tt has successfully fulfilled its purpose of fat- tening capitalist profits. Official reports reveal that the biggest Wall Street industrial monopolies are reaping the biggest harvest of profits and dividends in years. Profits have leaped sky-high since last March. But the N.R.A. has been a grotesque failure as far as any solution of the economic crisis is concerned, The Roosevelt “liberals” and the Socialist Party leaders had been hailing the N.R.A. as an attempt to raise the living standards of the masses. All the facts now confirm the analysis of the Communist Pariy that the N.R.A. from the beginning was aimed precisely toward lowering the living standards of the entire working class population in order to raise the profits of Wall Street. . , . OOSEVELTS warning is menacing. He warns that “the people as a whole will be impatient of those who complain and hold out false fears.” This is an admonition to those capitalist inter- ests who have certain criticisms to make of the N.R.A, that they had better not undermine the faith and canfidence of the masses in it— if they tow what's good for them, But it is also a thinly veiled incitement against the revolutionary movement of the work- ing class, that leads the fight against the yoke of the N.R.A. slave codes. It is a trick to make the starving masses believe that Wall Street is opposed to the N.R.A., and that therefore the N.R.A. must be beneficial to the masses, But the United States Chamber of Commerce, to whom Roosevelt sent his warning, has already set its stamp of approval on the Roosevelt “New Deal.” The sugar coating is wearing off the N.R.A. promises of Roosevelt. The Roosevelt government, wholly loyal to Wall Street, gets ready for a new dnive of wage cuts, inflation, and war preparations. More ballyhoo. More hunger. And more brutal suppression of the fight against starvation. ‘That is what the working class, with the Com- a Party in the forefront, must get ready to om a More Steam Behind H. R. 7598 10 COUNTER the growing mass demand for adequate social and unemployment embodied in the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill (H.R. 7598), Roosevelt is reported another fake unemployment scheme. insurance as to be considering The mass demand for real unemploy- ment insurance has led to the introduction of 127 measures into Congress and into the legislatures of fake unemployment and social insurance the fifteen states which have been in session this year, In Iowa, an “old age pension” law, the 28th such fake law on the statute books of that state, has been passed. By this bill, $25 a month is payable to workers beyond the age of 65, provided, however, that they have lived in the state continuously for 10 years, and in the country for 15 years, and have paid a $2 yearly head tax religiously. | | Obviously, since a $2 head tax will be levied on | all workers above the age of 21, this is just another scheme by which the workers are made to bear the full brunt of the effects of unemployment. The Wagner-Lewis “Reserves” Bill, the fake unemployment insurance bill which has the en- dorsement of the A. F. of L. officialdom and the | Roosevelt administration, would provide no insur- | ance to the present 15,000,000 unemployed, nor to agricultural, domestic, and transportation workers, | doctors, nurses and internes in hospitals, govern- ment employes, and workers in shops employing less than ten persons. In other words, it means absolutely no unemployment insurance to more than half of the working class. Those who would receive benefits under the Wagner-Lewis Bill, which, if passed, would not go into effect before July, 1936, would receive a mere $7 a week for ten weeks. Those who had worked for the same employer for more than five years will be “eligible” to receive this amount for fifteen weeks, Again, as in all the hundreds of fake “unem- ployment insurance” schemes advanced, the entire burden is thrust on the shoulders of the workers. In the Wagner-Lewis Bill it is proposed to tax payrolls. This would not cost the employers a | penny, for the amount would be deducted from | his tax bill, so that, in turn, the whole bunien | of the schame would be thrust upon the workers | | and poor farmers, The latest of the fake schemes to come out of Washington, are the tentative schemes which Roosevelt is forming for a proposed plan whereby everyone would pay two cents a week as “insur- ance” against accident or old age. Again, no men- tion is made of the present army of unemployed. Again, the money is to come out of the pockets of the workers, Designed to counter the growing mass support to the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill (H.R. 7598), the workers everywhere must defeat this latest Roosevelt scheme and double their efforts to secure the enactment of the Workers Bill. All unions, veterans, home-owners, fraternal organiza- tions, farmers’ organizations, unemployed groups, and mass meetings should intensify the drive for the enactment of the Workers Bill. Congressmen must be deluged with demands to sign the round robin petition to bring the Workers Bill out of the House Committee on Labor and onto the floor of Congress for vote. Now, more than ever before, | is it necessary to bring every force to bear for the | enactment of the Workers Unemployment Insur- | ance Bill (H.R. 7598). Poisonous Honey T IS an unsavory gang of “radical” spe- cialists which has been coralled on to the New York Evening Post by the money- bags of Mr. J. David Stern. From the “Marxist,” who is paid to write the oh-so radical editorials, comes this garland of praise for the Daily Worker: “For once, thank heaven, May Day has passed off without cracked heads, ugly riots, recrimina- tions, investigations and squabbles. “Sharing in the credit are the Mayor, the police, the Socialists and the Communists. ‘The last. were warned May Day morning by a front-page edi- torial in their own newspaper, the Daily Worker, against ‘provocation’: and violence. They were called on to show ‘calm, firm proletarian disci- pline.’” In this honey there is reactionary poison. It will be noticed how cunningly the patronizing lib- eralism of the Post leaves the impression that the menace of “ugly riots” on May Day comes, not from the ruling class and its agents, but from the masses! And notice how our warning to the workers not to be provoked by the typical, deliberate provoca- tion of the police and the capitalist press, is twisted to give the impression that the warning was directed against riot on the part of the workers! The Post, in short, strives to conceal the class source from which “ugly riot and violence” come on May Day—the ruling class. * * as overthrow of capitalism will be a forceful overthrow through the revolutionary mass ac- tiens of the proletariat leading a majority of the oppressed toiling population, no longer willing to endure the starvation, the exploitation, the brutal insanities of capitalism. It is the duty of a reyo- lutionary party to lead the masses in their daily struggles toward this goal. But it is fully the duty of a revolutionary party to warn the masses against being provoked into premature, adventurist, individual acts of violence, deliberately incited by the capitalist class and its agents. This sweetness of the Post, this expert peddling of “radicalism” by professional renegades and revo- lutionaries too fond of the flesh-pots of capitalist journalism, makes the Post a sinister enemy of the working class, the more sinister for the very sweetness of the perfume with which its glosses over the reactionary filth of its class purpose.

Seven thousand Jap- anese troops with artillery and | bombilng planes participated in re- cent fighting which continued for | three days. Over 1,000 rebels were |killed. Japanese troons also suf- | fered heavy losses. As is well known, Jehol Province is fully occupied by Japanese troops in preparation for |a drive into the Northern part of | China. The entire Chinese press devotes | attention to further plans of Jap- anesei imperialism. According to the newspapers, Japan is feverishly preparing the occupation of all in- ner Mongolia, which it intends to | carry out in June. Japanese air- | planes are continually making care- |ful reconnaisance over the Mon-| |golian frontiers. | The China Times states the so-| jcalled government of Manchukuo is organizing a .Mongol Army staff, with headquarters in Tsitsihar. Two | divisions of the Mongolian troops are already formed. Also a mili- tary school for the training of Mon- gols has been opened in Tsitsihar. The command of this army, almost} exclusively is Japanese. The China Press states: “In its | policy of expansion Japan is trying |to sieze not only China, but Siam and the Philippines, and the Malay Islands. Many responsible Jap- anese officials state: ‘We shall de- prive Britain of Asiatic possessions. As for the Philippines, we already consider them ours.’” WomenSpeed Plans For Delegates to Int'l Anti-War Meet NEW YORK—Enthusiastic plans | are already under way in New York, | Chicago, Boston, and Los Angele: |for holding regional conferences | | which will elect delegates to the In-| |ternational Women's Conference!

British SendTroops To Control Yemen LONDON, May 4.—British war- | ships have entered the port of Ho- deidah, Yemen, and are expected to Jand troops soon in order to take over the city on the pretext of “anarchy” due to the murder of the Iman and the seizure of the coun- try by Ibn Saud, a British tool. French and Italian gunboats sta- tioned near Jebuti, Africa, are also steaming across the Red Sea to grab off what they can in the gen- eral scramble for new colonial ter- | ritory. Fighting of the people in Yemen against the invader is going on de- spite the defeat of the main armies of Iman Yehia, former ruler of Yemen. British soldiers from Aden, the British fortified coaling and oil- ing station at the extreme tip of Arabia on the Red Sea, are being sent to establish British domina- tion throughout the southern part. | KEEPING IT UP! Bare R Mendieta Troops Kill Cuban Student at May Day Protest HAVANA, Cuba, May 4.—Soldiers fired into a demonstration of stu- dents here yesterday, who were pro- testing the murder of workers at the May Day demonstrations. One per- son was killed and more than sixteen wounded. The students were particularly protesting against the murder of a from torture after he was arrested at the May Day demonstrations. Dean Presno of Havana Univer- sity, supervising an autopsy on Ludovico Moreno, declared he died “from inhaling tear gas.” This pre- posterous statement was attacked by the students, who called a demon- stration at the central high school in the center of Havana. Students Erect Barricades Demonstrations simultaneously took place throughout central Havana against the murderous assaults by the Roosevelt - supported Mendieta government. All business in the central park district closed down. Police patrolled the streets, and soldiers in cars sped through the city, flinging tear gas and shooting at groups of people in the streets. At the demonstration near the central high school, the students stood their ground when the police fired, taking benches from the park and erecting barricades. The murdered man was Antonio Gonzalez, a student, and private sec- retary to Colonel Galvino Galvez, governor of Santa Clara province. Emilio Echan, an 85-year-old by- stander, was seriously wounded and is expected to die. Caffery Ordered Attack The original orders to attack the May Day demonstration came from the American embassy. The night before May Day, Wall Street's Am- bassador, Jefferson Gaffery, directed the placing of soldiers around Amer- ican properties and on roof tops. On May Day these soldiers fired of Arabia, into a crowd of 20,000 workers, kill- student, Ludovico Moreno, who died} ing an undetermined number and wounding scores. Yesterday the soldiers had the greatest difficulty in clearing the streets, even with gunfire directed against unarmed students. The stu- dents showered the Mendieta troops with stones, clubs and inkwells. After the demonstration was finally broken up, the students re- formed their ranks, meeting at sev- eral different places, shouting: “Down with the Mendieta bloody government!” “Down with Batista, the army dictator!” “Down with Caffery and American imperialism!” NY Anti-War Group Will Meet Monday Dunn Will Speak at Irving Plaza Meet NEW YORK—The first general membership meeting of the newly organized City Central Committee of the American League Against War and Fascism will be held Mon- day, May 7, at Irving Plaza Hall,| at 7 p.m. sharp. Work of the City Central Committee since its organi- zation will be reviewed, and plans looking toward an outpouring of one million people on August 4th, twentieth anniversary of the United States’ entrance into the World War, will be outlined. Speakers for the evening include Ida Dailes, National Secretary of the League. She will report on the International Women’s Congress to be held in Paris. Dr. Tredwell Smith and Norman Tallentire will also give reports, Robert W.

Unable to bring these workers to trial before because of the total lack of evidence, the Nazis, under the new law, will now try them with all legal technicalities suspended, The three workers facing the axe are: Peter Stoll, a tailor; Solly Ein- stein, a painter, and Hans Zeigler, @ barber. The first two were arrested last August and viciously tortured. Ziegler was framed-up-.in February. The charge against the three is not that they actually did the killing but that they were on the street at the time near tne scene of the shooting. Albert Hoehler, whom the Nazis charge with killing Horst Wessel, was tortured to death by the Nazis soon after his imprisonment, but the fact that he was murdered was ad- mitted only yesterday.

By S, JUSTE ZAMOR LTHOUGH it would be the greatest pleasure for all work- ers to see Haiti, the small island Negro republic in the Caribbean, freed from the voke of American imperialism, at the same time, one should have no illusion about the steps being taken by the Roosevelt government and Mr. Stenio Vin- cent, representing Haiti. The move taken by Roosevelt, palmed off as “freedom for Haiti,” is one of his strategical maneuvers, |for the preparation of the rapidly approaching imperialist war. Mr. Vincent and Roosevelt, sensing the widespread discontent and the anti- imperialist feeling stirring the broad Haitian masses, adopt a policy of concealed control over Haiti. Roose- velt is now putting in practice Na- poleon’s dictum when he said 131 years ago: “If I had known I would have never tried to control Haiti by force. On the contrary, I should have tried to control her through the medium of “Toussaint 1’Over- ture.” There was great doubt at that time as to how successful he would have been. Now, the vicious fascist methods that Mr. Vincent is using against the Haitian masses have aroused their indignation to such an extent that he fears a revolutionary up- surge. In Haiti today freedom of speech, press have been suppressed, The right of assembly has been de- nied to the people. The mails are censored. If the workers make any attempt to organize themselves in order to fight against the low wages they receive from the American What Is Behind the Roosevelt Deal in Haiti? bosses, they are thrown into prison. In order for the Haitian prostitute politicians to further live on the backs of the toiling masses, they are actively carrying on a wave of demagogic propaganda, tinged with the fake ideology of nationalism, and at the same time they keep the overwhelming majority of the popu- lation in the most backward stage of development and exploitation. One of the weapons used by these parasites for carrying out their demagogies, is Mr. Vincent's news- Paper, “Haiti Journal.” Today in Haiti the government is building a big army. Due to wide- spread unemployment in the coun- try, every young man is being forced to join that army. One thing I Would like to know and many Haitians here also are asking: what will be the aim of that army? It is known that Roosevelt is very busily giving his support for the building of that army. It has already been rumored that the Haitian army will be a reserve force for American imperialism, for the next coming world war, and also Haiti will be used as a strategic point for the naval base of the United States. No wonder the N.Y. Times of April 18, says: “Substantially the same ar- rangement which the Haitian Leg- islature two years ago had re- jected in treaty form was accepted as an executive agreement.” “The steps agreed upon are much in advance of the agree- ment.” Besides all these facts, I will also point out another point to show how Mr. Vincént uses his omni- potential power against the Haitian masses for the servituda of the American capitalists. A few months ago, Mr. Bryiac, the head of the Haitian American Sugar Company, proposed a contract before the Haitian government, which would give Mr. Bryiac and his colleagues (capitalists) the right of investing hundreds of thousands of dollars for raising bananas in Haiti for ex- port. When the Haitian people heard of that proposal their in- dignation sprang to such a height that the Congress was forced to vote it down, Mr. Vincent told Congress that “even if you vote against it, I will use my dictatorial power to en- force it, because it will mean thou- sands of jobs for the unemployed.” Then the intellectuals and the mid- die class elements, asked: What provision has been made for us? They could not cultivate bananas. No answer was given them. at elie today you see the National As- sociation for Advancement of Col- ored People officials so actively sup- Porting the acts of Hoover and now of Roosevelt, it is precisely because they have the same identical policy, which is to serve capitalism. Mr. Vincegt is a former leader of the “Ligue Patriotique des So- cietes Haitiennes,” an organization identical in policy and leadership to the N.A.A.C.P, Two weeks ago, the United Front Committee of the Haitian workers sent a committee to the Minister of the Interior, demanding the right to collect signatures and to hold | meetings in defense of the Scotts- boro boys. This right was denied them. They should have demanded of the president the right of the Haitian workers to organize their trade unions, the right to pubiish their papers, the withdrawal of the censorship. It would be naive on the part of anyone to believe that everything is going to be sweet for the Haitian masses, because Haiti is going “to rule itself,” under the watchful eye of Wall Street and the American navy. The Roosevelt government is now spending hun- dreds of millions of dollays for the production of war materials for the approaching imperialist: world war, which aims to re-divide the world for markets for her. It would be stupid to think that Wall Street is to turn over the financial control of Haiti to the Haitians when Haiti is @ ready-made market for American imperialism. One thing must be clear in our minds, and that is that instead of American imperialism directly ex- Ploiting the Haitian masses, it is going to be done through the me- dium of the Haitian bourgeoisie. undoubtedly, as soon as the Haitian workers begin to organize them- selves to fight against the expioita- tion of the American bosses who are now in Haiti, the subsery.ent policy of the Haitian government to the U.S.A. will manifest itself by opening the most terroristic attacks against the workers, American and Haitian workers must unite in demanding real, im- mediate and unconditional iniepen- dence for Haiti, freed from every tie with Wall Street, pias ND | By HARRY GANNES | War Symptoms | Sandino’s Murderer Never Saw a German | Britain’s “Alarm” HE whole Far and Near East is ablaze with trade | wars and intensive drives for |colonial plunder.

Sandino and five of his followers were slaughtered by the Nicaraguan National Guard, organized by the United States State Department and American marine officers. “The Yankee minister to Nicaragua personally directed the assassination of Sandino,” declared Col. Ferreti, one of Sandino’s aides, who saw his comrades fouly mur- dered, but escaped to Costa Rica. ‘T say that the United States Minister is the real head of the Nicaraguan National Guard,” Ferreti declared, “and together with President, Mon- cada, the one chiefly responsible for the cowardly assassination of my unforgettable chief and companion.” He goes on to relate: “From my hiding place I could see the United States minister come to inspect the house of Salvatierra 16 minutes before the attack. After the shooting, he asked: “Is it all done?” Then he surveyed the corpses of Sandino and his follow- ers, and left apparently satisfied, I remember perfectly when the guards opened ranks they said: “Here comes the American minis- ter; make way for him!” In an article I wrote in the Daily Worker at the time Sandino was Slaughtered I said the real details could be learned only from the American Minister to Nicaragua. ee ees) ie iG SE TSUNG HUA,” (Red China), official organ of the Central Soviet Government of China, reports a tremendous campaign is being developed in Chinese Soviet territories for the freedom or Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the German |) Communist Party, and other victims of the Nazis, and to help the fight against Hitler. Though faced on the North and South by over 1,000,000 Kuomintang troops, financed by American, British and Japanese im- perialism, the Chinese Red Army never forgets the fight for the re- lease of Comrade Thaelman. Three hundred and fifty Ernst Thaelmann brigades, 220 Dimitroff Brigades, and 120 Torgler brigades were formed in the Red Army of China. All the soldiers of the Red Army have decided to contribute 14 cents of their daily food allowance for the political prisoners in Ger- many. An old woman in Huangpo, In the Soviet district, gave her old silver headdress, worth $2, for the defense of Comrade Torgler, say- ing: “Although I have never seen a German comrade in my life, I nevertheless will give you my headdress that I wore at my wed- ding as a sign of protest against fascism and in the spirit of inter- national solidarity.” +e HE news that Thaelmann and { other Communist fighters now face the gravest dangers because of the new vicious laws will undoubt- edly have a tremendous response in Soviet China, with tenfold increase in activities.
