Letter to Communist international.
The letter written to the Commun-
list International, as given out by the
army authorities, Is given below. The
DAILY WORKER has not, Of course,
been able to ascertain from Crouch
whether his letter was quoted COR
rectly by his prosecutors.
The letter, according to the army
officers, states:
Executive Committee,
Communist International,
Moscow,
Union Of Soviet Socialist Republics.
Comrades: Greetings to the Com
munist International from the class
conscious workers and slodiers of
Hawaii.
knowing that unity is essential for
the success of world revolution, the
class conscious workers and soldiers
Of the Hawaiian islands have organ
lied themselves into the Hawaiian
Communist League.
The Hawaiian Communist League
wishes to take Its place in the world
movement for revolutionary Com
munism and to enable us to cooper
ate with our comrades in other lands
in the fight against capitalism, we de-
sire to affiliate with the Third Inter-
national
The Hawaiian Communist League
accepts the principles and regulations
Of the Communist International with
out reservation and will cooperate to
the full extent of its ability in the
movement to free the workers Of the
world from the chains of capitalism.
y The members Of the Hawaiian Com
munist League have been very ac-
tive in a publicity movement for the
purpose of presenting the facts about
Russia to the Hawaiian proletariat
for bringing all class conscious work
ers into a common movement. Of
course this is meeting with opposition
from the capitalistic forces and the
immediate future promises some very
important developments.
The condition Of the workers in
Hawaii is much wosse than in Am
erica and the European countries,
and practically all land is in large
plantations which employ Japanese
and Filipino labor. Strikes, are very
frequent and there is a good field for
propaganda. @

take its place with the revolutionary

Spy an lgnoramus.
Another charge" against Crouch
was that he "Did on or about Feb. IS,
1925, advise counsel or persuade Corp
oral Eugene Fisher (the government
stool pigeon), Co. G., 9th Infantry, to
become a member of the secret organ
ization, the Hawaiian Communist
League, to the prejudice of good or
der and military discipline"
Crouch, in presenting his defense,
proved that the Hawaiian Communist
League was not a secret organization,
holding its meetings In the squad
room, and sending out letters with
the leagues letterhead attached. He
told how Fisher had asked for admit
lance, but he was such laundering
ignoramus, the league members knew
him for a spy and refused to admit
him. No

The other charge against Crouch
was that. Private Crouch did orally
