CONVICT FLOGGING UPHELD

Raleigh, N. C.-The state supreme
court has held that f1ogging convicts
in prisons of this state is legal. A
lower court ruled that a state law
permitting this punishment was void
because the state constitution forbids
corporal punishment. The supreme
court now declares that the act is in
valid as the state constitution does
not forbid fiogging.

eyewitnesses, leaned over the side,
fell, was struck by the car. and

DISCOVERING THE REDS"
By WILLIAM PICKENS

OUR daily papers have just published a list of
v Communists and other American "reds," which
the London police took in q raid a Russian trad
ing company. And these papers pretend to have
discovered" something in the names and addresses
of the American radicals. That is pure propa-
ganda: for every intelligent person in America has
known the names of most of these people for years,
knowing that they are Communists and radicals.
Even those of us who are not Communists have long
been perfectly familiar with the names, addresses
and activities of these 'reds" Think of any news
paper discovering" to us that Lydia Gibson
Robert Minor Ruthenberg is a Communist! What
a joke These people have never tried to hide
their names, their addresses or their political be-
liefs in America. In fact Ruthenberg, until he died,
was the head of the American Communist Party,
and known all over the world.
This is one Of the serpentine methods of propa-
ganda: to excite the people by making them think
that something 'turrible" has just been turned up"
Even the English police knew all about these people
before the raid was made. It looks to if the
truth is that London police were looking for some
thing which they failed to find, and are therefore
making the best Of what they did find.
While they were discovering they might have
discovered few really big things: that the Gar
was killed. that Lenn is dead, that Trotsky is still
alive, that there is a revolutionary civil war in
China and that unopposed British and American
guns. killed several thousand Chinese women and
little children in Marking.
Some of these things are vastly important
than anything discovered in this raid. Everybody
who is intelligent already knew that Russia is fight
ing "anti-red' propaganda by 'red" propaganda all
over the world.

Toward Mass Action.

Such the characteristic terms used with regard
to this development. But still further concrete
example of the way in which the Indian masses feel
in regard to the struggle of the Chinese people can
be seen in the decision of the Indian workers to send
three thousand Indian ambulance men to serve with
the Chinese National Revolutionary Army The
Hindu "Seva Dial" has undertaken to organize the
contingent but say with certainty that the
British government will prevent such contingent
leaving the shores of India. Nevertheless this ac-
ton will only add fuel to the flames. The Indians
themselves win learn from these events that until
they also pass from the path Of pacfism to that Of
organizing the power of the masses and equipping
them with the of victory, their subsection will
continue to endure
This great lesson viii be learned as every echo Of
the Chinese revolution falls upon the Indian
Indeed, they learning. It is this fact which is
driving the British imperiaists to frantic anger.
But what anger and stupidity in face of hun
dreds Of millions of slaves who have learned how
to fight for freedom?
