Red Aid. 1.-THE bourgeoisie of France,
upon returning to Paris" said Com
rade Gitlow, slaughtered 10000 work
ers and deported many more This
same bourgeoisie now talks Of demo
crazy and free speech, and is attack
ing Soviet Russia for putting into
prison counter-revolutionar active
ly engaged against the Soviet govern
ment. There are more than 100000
political prisoners in the capitalist
dungeons, where they are subjected
to the vilest torture. The capitalist
press says that there is no freedom
Of expression in Soviet Russia.
How much freedom of opinion is
there for the working class of Ger
many, where there are 5000 political
prisoners, of Hungary where there are
10000 prisoners, of India with her
$4,000 prisoners? The capitalist press
indicates that when the Communists
went into power in Soviet Russia,
they instituted reign Of terror. This
is a base lie, that history refutes.
"The socialist party and the Second
(Socialist) International are carrying
on an energetic campaign against So
Wet Russia. They say nothing about
the offer made by the International
Red Aid to effect an exchange Of the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in the prisons
Of Soviet Russia for the Communists
in the capitalist prisons. They say
nothing about a joint committee of
the Communist international and the
Second International to investigate
conditions in the prisons Of the So
Wet Russia. The Second International
is assisting the capitalists in attack
ing Soviet Russia, despite the fact
that Soviet Russia is the only country
in which workers have the right of
open expression. We Communists de-
clare that we are the only ones inter-
ested in the question of political pris-
oners.
Speaks for Communist Youth
"a new committee has been formed
in the United States, but this commit
tee does not differentiate between
proletarian prisoners in capitalist
prisons and counter-revolutionar in
Soviet Russia. The liberals in this
committee are the tools If the counter
, revolutionary socialists in campaign
against Soviet Russia. If they wish
to assist in real help for proletarian
prisoners, let them join the forces of
the International Red Aid"
Herbert Fam, of the Young Workers
League declared that the arrest Of
the three comrades is a repetition of
the arrest of Leo Granoff, a thirteen.
years old boy, last year for 'conspir-
ing to overthrow the capitalist gov
eminent One Of the differences be-
tween the Communist and the social
list movement is the attention that
the Communists pay to the youth
movement. Leaders like Lenin and
Liebknecht organized the youth move
ment, recognizing the importance of
youth in the revolutionary movement.

workers" Comrade Fam was greeted
with great applause.
]. o. Bentall, in making an appeal
for support of the Communist press,
declared that once journalist said

paragraphs in the papers and we will
