COMMUNIST
INTERNATIONAL

We fraternally suggest that there is
another international league which is
far more potent to give aid to the
classes and races struggling for free
dom. The League of Nations is the
international organization for the pur-
pose of holding down all suppressed
classes and peoples. The Communist
International is the international
league for the liberation of all sup.
pressed classes and peoples. 1t is to
this body that such appeals can more
effectively be addressed. At the world
congresses of the Communist Inter-
national the representative of op-
pressed colonial peoples and of the
working class everywhere come to-
gether for the sole purpose of consid-
ering ways and means for liberation.
Your representatives would find them
selves honored guests at its delibera-
tons. The peoples of the world will
be led to freedom by the Communist
international, over the ruins of the
so-called League of Nations"

IN ADDRESSING KINGS
AND PRESIDENTS

We observe in your agenda that
you are contemplating sending petit
tons to "His Excellency the Presi-
dent Of the United States" and to
Ellis Majesty King George v. and the
Parliament and House of Lords of
Great Britain" and to the kings of
Italy, Spain and Belgium, and their
parliaments, and to the presidents Of
France and Portugal. Your intended
address to these gentlemen would be
on behalf of the rights of the Negro
in Africa, America and the colonies.
We fraternally suggest to you that
these "Excellencies" and "Majesties"
are the heads of the imperialist pow
ers which are now engaged in pillag-
ing and strangling the darker races
OF the earth, as well as exploiting and
depressing the working class, of
whatever race, at home. Their power
is built upon the exploitation Of the
grooming millions Of colonial and
working peoples. To ask the king Of

THE ENEMIES OF YOUR
\ ENEMIES

We suggest that it is not to your
enemies that you should direct your
appeals, but to the enemies of your
enemies-to those who suffer with you
and who have a common interest with
you in overthrowing your enemies. In
this connection, we will mention again
that here is a class struggle going on
within each of those imperialist coun-
tries-against those ''Excellencies"
and "Majesties" and against the rul-
ing class which they represent. In
each of those imperialist countries
there is a powerful revolutionary
working-class movement called the
Communist Party Tin American the
Workers Party which has the same
enemies as you and the same interest
in overthrowing those enemies. The
Communist parties in all countries
are organized for the purpose of over
throwing the capitalist-imperialist
system of each and. all countries, lib
Grating all of the suppressed peoples
and classes thru establishing the die
tatorship of the working class, social
izing the means of production and
distribution in the hands of the work
ing class, abolishing forever the ex-
ploitation of labor and of colonial peo-
pies, destroying all class and caste di-
visions in society, and thus creating
a free world without superior" and
inferior" classes or races. The Com
munist parties especially emphasize
the indespensability of the colonial
peoples breaking away from their
capitalist-imperialist masters, as a
measure without which our purpose
cannot be accomplished. This is one
basis for our common interest with
you. The Russian Communist Party,
In establishing the rule OF the working
class in Russia and in freely liberat-
ing all of the suppressed nationalities
which had been held in subsection by
the Tsarist and capitalist govern,
ments Of Russia, proves the sincerity
of our claim.

KU KLUx KHAN

The WORKERS PARTY observes
that you propose to discuss the Ku
Klux Khan, and that you specify that
the discussion should be without
prejudice" This is a subject which
it is extremely difficult for us to ap.
proach without prejudice. We
frankly admit that we have been pre-.
JUDGED against the Ku Klux Khan by
the following unquestionable facts:
l. The Khan is devoted to the prin-
'ciple of white Supremacy" meaning
the preservation and further enlarge
ment of caste system in the United
States on the theory that the Negro
must forever remain a despised and
terrorized caste, subject to murder
and pillage as well as inhuman ex-
ploitation, without political, social or
industrial equality. The Imperial
Wizard" of the Khan, H. w. Evans, in
public speech at Dallas, Texas, on
October "a. 1923, officially speaking
for the Khan, gave the basis Of its pro.
gram Of criminal operations against
the Negro as follows
"Flrst, there is the Negro-1o,-
100000. They have not, they can.
not attain the Anao-saxon level.
Both biology and anthropoIoqy
prove Il. The low mentality Of saw
age ancestors is Inherent In the
bood-stream Of the colored race In
America. No new environment can
more than specifically overcome
this age-oId hereditary handicap
2. The organization based upon this
false, unscientiflc, debased and con-
temptible attitude toward the Negro,
attempts to put its theory in practice
by mobbing, hanging, burning at the
stake, DISTINGUISHING and terrorizing
the colored population Of the United
States, and in communities where the
Negroes form the majority popula.
ton" as well as whore they are a
minority.
3. The Khan takes a similar attitude
toward, and attempts the same meth.
DDS against, members OF other races
and of religious faiths different from
their own.
4. The Khan, altho IL deludes some
workingmen into its support, is in ef.
feet weapon Of violeA,e and terror
against the entire work 3 class. blsok

for full and complete equality without
reservation or evasion.
The twelve million Negroes of the
United States are no longer the meek
and hopeless group, conserving to re-
main under the yoke of a superior
class, which they were supposed to
be before the world war. They are
now fired with the determination to
take and hold their place as the
equals Of all other men.
YouNas leaders of your race, meet
in the greatest Negro city in the
world, the metropolis of the country
which is the cultural center of the
Negro world. Yet as you meet here
today you are not accorded the full
rights of men and women in the civ
ilization which surrounds you, as evil
denced by the fact that the accommo-
dations Of this city, hotels, restau-
rants and theaters, although partly
the product of the industry and the
genius of your people, will be largely
closed to you as to lower and des-
pissed caste, in disregard of the dig
nifty and Importance of your mission.
In resentment of such injustice we
ioin you, as well as in determination
not to rest until the last vestige of
this caste system is removed
The labor and suffering of millions
of black men and women have been
a major factor in transforming a will
derness and building the wealth Of
this country. This is as much a Ne
gro's as it is white mans country,
and it is the duty Of the Negro to
claim his equal rights within it.
Race Problem in South.
You propose to discuss ways and
means of adjusting the race Avoblem
of the southern states ito the satisfac-
ton of all concerned" We would not
be willing to join in any attempt to
settle the race problem to the salts
faction of the southern white ruling
caste. We should like, however, to
join you in settling the race question
to the satisfaction of the Negro work
ers and the white workers on the ba-
sis Of exact equality and the COM
plete abolition of the caste system.
This can only be done by bringing
the Negro workers and the white
workers together for a common class
struggle for the overthrow of the cot
ton kings, the financial emnerors and
industrial lords of this country. A
ruling class has never yet willingly
surrendered its privileges. 1t is
proven fact of history that an op-
pressed class can liberate itself only
by organizing itself and struggling for
its own Independent political power.

beginning it has used every device of
violence, fraud and hypocrisy to per-
petuate every enslavement and to add
many more. To ask this league of
international bandits to do anything
for the freedom Of colonial peoples, is
to ask them to defeat their own pur-
pose-it would be like asking the late
president of the Southern Confed-
eracy, Jefferson Davis, to write the
Emancipation Proclamation. We trust
that your discussion of the League

firming the position taken in your
Declaration of independence" adopted

Belgium to cease numbering and plum
dering the black people of the Congo
is to ask him to cease to be Ellis Maj
esty" and to destroy the vast structure
Of blood and tyranny of which he is
the figure-head, and which largely fur
nishes the basis of the life of ease
and luxury of the ruling class of Bel
GUM. To ask the king, of England
and his parliament and House of
Lords to withhold the whip from the
backs of the toiling millions of Africa
or India, is to ask them to abdicate
and pull down the vast pyramid of
empire which it is their function to
protect. The same applies to such re-
quests to the rulers of Spain, Italy
and Portugal. The president of
France can and will do nothing for
the Negro; but on the contrary must
continue the work of enslaving Africa
as the black yard" of an European
empire. The American president can
and will do practically nothing for the
Negro, either in Africa, Haiti, or
America. If he turns his attention to
Africa, it will be only to compete with
the Belgian, French and British gov
ernments to seize portion of Africa
for exploitation of American financ-
iers, as Haiti, San Domingo and the
Philippines are exploited and their
people subjected. About the Negroes
right in America, the president will
do nothing but to suppress them and
to help the southern ruling class to
preserve the caste system as an aid
to class exploitation, just as his pred
ecessor, President Harding, prom
ised to do in Birmingham, Alabama,
in 1920 Nor will Mr. Coolidge do
anything to help the Negro to leave
America, for the American capitalist
class for whom the president is the
spokesman needs the Negro as ex-
plotted wage-slaves or as legions of
conscripted soldiers to send thruout
the world to die for the ruling class
gain, for the subsection of their black,
brown and yellow brothers in foreign
colonies or the subsection of the
working class everywhere.
To ask any of these "Excellencies"
and "Majesties" to undo the wrongs
on which they thrive, is like asking
pickpockets to ensure the safety of
pocketbooks.

latorS del1Derately supporting the
segregation of Negroes in "black beltz
districts to give themselves the bet
ter opportunity to exploit their own
people at exorbitant rents. Worst Of
all, we find certain Negro leaders try
ing to demoralize the Negro working
class in the interest of the capitalist
exploiters In short, we find whole
class of Negro bourgeoisie tending to
ally itself with the ruling class against
their own race of the working class.
The racial solidarity Of the Negro
masses with Negro leaders who betray
them to the ruling class, is a serious
danger to Negro freedom. AS Karl
Marx, the great founder of the Com
munist movement said: 1.-THE more
the ruling class is able to assimilate
the most prominent men Of ruled
class, the more solid and dangerous
is it's rule" Capital, vol. III, chap.
XXXVI.)
The Religious Question.
We note that a subject on your
agenda for discussion is the religious
question This quite naturally fol-
lows from the historical fact that
nearly all movements for the Negroes
emancipation in the past have been
associated with religious movements.
One Of the first phases of the strug-
gle was the movement for the Negroes
right to participate in the religious OBJ
carvopoac of tbo xvbifa ~ooo. +t,o aoxIs
est forms of Negro slave gatherings
and organizations were of religious
nature. 1t was no accident that the
brave Negro preacher, Nat Turner,
was zone to organize and lead his peo-
pie in revolt for freedom. 1t was in
the' logic of history that the early
leaders of the Negro people have been
preachers. But as your leader, Presi-
dent-General Garvey, has had occasion
to point out the ruling class of this
country has not had the interests Of
the Negro at heart in teaching him
the religion of the ruling class Speak
ing of the encroachments upon the In
dependence Of colored peoples, Mr..
Carney has truly said: 1.-THE capital
lists send their agents. The first
agent is the missionary. He is the
advance guard. The preacher, the So
called minister of the Gospel who is
part of the modern material organiza-
ton, who is the advance guard of
commercialism, graft and plumber and
rum and murder. He was the advance
guard in Africa, and that is why there
is nothing in Africa but robbery and
plumber, east and west, north and
south. The same thing they are doing
in South America, robbing, exploiting
and 'civilizing' the heather. This is
the modern trend of Christianity as
handed out by the white man." We
trust that in your discussion of the
religious question progress will be
made toward the realization that the
Negroes road to freedom lies not in
initiating the beliefs and institutions
of society that was built upon his
subsection, but in freeing himself from
all superstitions and embracing mod
ern scientific thot.
