Negro Paper Prints
Communist Statement
on United Front

PITTSBURGH. Pa, May 5.-The re-
Spouse Of the Negro workers to the
call Of the Workers Communist
Party for united front Of both white
and Negro workers against attempts
Of the United States government to
destroy mass organizations of the Ne
gro workers, is demonstrated by the
reprinting OF the Communist state
ment in the Negro press.
The Pittsburgh American, one of
the leading Negro newspapers, prints
the statement Of the central executive
committee of the Workers Party in
fun on the front page.
The Workers Party statement
points out that altho Marcus Garvey
has refused to fight for the oppressed
masses of the Negro workers, both
for their rights in the trade unions
and against the peonage Of the Negro
agricultural workers, and has refused
TO take stand against the ku klux
khan, yet the attack OF the United
States government against the Uni
versal Negro Improvement Associa-
ton is an attack against the right Of
the Negro workers TO organize.
The statement calls for united
front Of Negro and white workers
against this attack Of the government,
backed by the exploiters who see in
the unorganized Negro a cheap labor
supply, upon their right to organize
to fight for better conditions and full
equality.

Lies Of Kept Press.
1.-THE Star-Bulletin, Honolulu, of
April 4, in a long editorial-'The
Crouch Case, said among other
things:
1.-The echo Of the Crouch case at
Schofield Barracks will be heard from
Washington to Moscow
The majority Of the plentiful
"pinks" and reds" in America are
merely such because they're just nat
urally agin' the government; and the
high-sounding, sonorous phrases of
the Trotskys and the Kameneffs and
the Chitcherins sound like good and
handy stuff to get off at a meeting
of the BROTHER SLAVES (Caps
mine.)
Forty years at hard labor is some
thing that no Communist, however
sincere and enthusiastic, can look for
ward to with pleasure
land this 40-year sentence is bound
to attract not merely national and
International attention. 1t is likely
to start another case which will make
as much noise as that of Sacco and
Vanzetti. All Communist Russia was
stirred up about that, and still is.'
IAN the reds" and "pinks" in the
United States and many other people
will want a congressional inYestiga-
ton to determine whether Crouch is
an agent of Zinoviev and Zinoviev's
pet, the Third International, or merely
an Unbalanced zealot who picked the
army instead OF a stump or a soap-box
to sound off, on the familiar sub
jeet Of the proletariat.'
Intelligent Support Of Capitalism.
I'm an editorial entitled: More
Echoes-and Rumblings,' the Star
Bulletin april 10) says:
The Star-Bulletin has printed
fully the charges against both these
men, and their offenses apparently
have not gone beyond Communistic
agitation and an effort to form a lit
tie Bolsheyik circle" at Schofeld.'
"'On the face of the charges and
on the testimony as published, senten-
ces which amount to life imprison-
ment will make martyrs out of ill-bal-
anced and demagogic propagandists.
""These men are propagandists and
agitators, and Crouch at least seems
to be shrewd and perfectly well aware
Of what he was doing. Obviously, the
agitation could not be permitted to
continue
"Al this means that the Star-Bulle-
tin is a more intelligent supporter of
capitalism than court martial-not
that they are sorry for us. l expect
no true sympathy from capitalistic
sources.
"The Honolulu Advertiser has had
but little to say about our case. The
editor is said to be personal friend
of 1t. Col. Murphy.

MORGAN MUST Be
PAID, HOUGHTON
WARNS EUROPE
Aims to Curb Europe's
Foreign Trade as Well
Especial to Tho Daily Workerl

especial TO no bally Worker)
LONDON, England, May ALAN
son B. Houghton, millionaire glass
manufacturer, director In the Metro
politan Life Insurance company, and
heavy stockholder in nonunion West
Virginia coal mines, warned Europe
in his maiden speech as ambassador
TO Great Britain, that Wall Street
wants payments on her loans to Eu-
rope.
Houghton, who spoke for the Coo
lidge government and therefore for
the Morgan banking syndicate, speak
ing in the presence Of Premier Bald
win at the Pilgrims dinner, made it
understood that Morgans money was
loaned so that the European govern
ments could put the workers back on
the Job of producing wealth.
To Curb English Trade.
The money was not loaned for mill
tarism and those he represented did
not want a new war in Europe while
the bankers loans were still unpaid.
Germany's election of Hindenburg
as president must not be made the ex-
cuse for the gouging of Germany by
the allies outside the provisions of
the Dawes plan-America wants
share of all tribute taken from Ger
many, that was the warning hidden
within the sermon delivered by
Houghton.
Must Pay Morgan.
France and England must make
ready to pay her war debts to Am
erica, and France must obey Coo
lidge's call for a new arms confer
ence," whether she likes it or not.
These are the conditions on which the
Morgan bankers are willing to con-
tinue pouring gold into Europe. OF
course it is understood that a high
rate Of interest and trade conces-
sions to America are, as before, a part
of the arrangement.
War Clouds Gathered.
Houghton's reminder to England
and France, as well as the smaller
European countries, that the United
States government and the Morgan
bankers control Europe's finances,
comes at a time when signs Of an
other war are apparent. The Bal
kan countries, controlled by fascists,
are at the same time that they muir
dered and tortured the workers within
their borders pickering for the extern
eiO0 Of thar farr-ifo1sv
England has just established the
gold standard, with the aid of a
S20o,000,000 loan from the federal re-
serve bank and a s1OO,OOO,OOO loan
from the House of Morgan.
Morgan Grips Europe.
Morgan has grip on practically
every country OF Europe, thru the
loans of hundreds of millions of dol
lars to France, Belgium, Germany
Italy, Poland, England, and many Of
the smaller countries.
France is struggling with wrecked
finances, and Germany is faced with
a load Of debt and inability to meet
the Dawes plan payments.
Morgan, Coolidge and company will
tighten the purse strings if these
countries do not concentrate their
efforts toward paying their debts.
Thus the two-fold purpose is served
Of eurbing the imperialistic aims Of
the European powers, and receiving
the payments on foreign debts.

LABOR PRODUCES MORE,
BOSSES NOT PLEASED

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-'The vast
quantity of propaganda paid by tex
tile manufacturers who recently re-
duced wages is false and malicious"
said Thomas Mcmahon, president
of the United Textile Workers.
"The consuming public is told that
New England mill workers must dou-
BILE their production if the industry
is to remain in this section of the
country None know better than
those making the statements that the
per capita production of the textile
operative today is twice, and in many
cases three or four times, what it was
one year ago, without corresponding
wage increase.
To-day the weaver is forced to pro-
duce from 300 to 400 per cent more
work than 20 years ago, with an in
crease of 100 per cent in the cost of
living during that period. 1t is appar-
ent that all machinery improvement
is to enhance the capital invested and
not for a fair division of increased
production. The human element is dis
regarded.
when we consider the difference
in the product of New England mills
with 20 years ago-not only in the
grade and style of fabric, but in the
enormous difference in value-we are
astounded at the continuous howl of
wolf by the capitalistic textile bar
