Capitalism Develops an
Enemy Among the Thinking
Students of the Nation
By ]. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

CTUDENTS, like workers, stretching hands
u the seas in support of the growing fight for the
lives of Sacco and Vanzett
1t at its demonstration against Massachusetts
Justice rendered in the decision of Governor Avan T.
Fuller demanding that Sacco and Vanzetti burn in the
electric chair, Wednesday, August 10, that the Student
Sacco-Vanzetti Committee made public telegram from
the International Youth Congress- being held at Freus
burgh, Germany, which said:
Convey fratenal greetings and hopes for justice
to Sacco and Vanzetti."
The energetic struggle of the Student -Vanzett
Committee behalf of condemned comrades, gained
impetus at the gathering held Thursday night at
the New School for Social Research which the
rotary of the committee Celia Posuk, presided with
the speakers including Arthur Garfield Hays the law
yer; Leonard D. Abbott the editor and writer; Rose
Potesta, of the International SaccoVanzetti Committee
and the writer, representing the Emergency SaccoVan
zetti Committee.
Tens of thousands of pieces of literature have been
circulated already by this Students Committee The
students not content to confne their demonstra
ton to the auditorium of the New School for Social Re-
search at 465-469 West 23rd Street, matter how
cellent audience They provided for having
the speeches broadcasted the radio
This student effort will be bad for those would
be assassins among the American ntelgentsa who
seeking the lives of Sacco and Vanzetti.
The Students Committee organized by students
attending Columbia University that is headed by the
arch reactonary, Nicholas Murray Butler, political and
intellectual ally of John Hays Hammond the multi mil
lionaire who has just addressed letter to Governor
Fuller of Massachusetts,, audng him for his loyalty
thru his decision, to the murder clique that is ready
Wednesday to press the button to start the electric fire
that will burn out the lives of Sacco and Vanzett
The student demonstration Thursday night should be
bad for Butler! Bad for Hammond. Bad
also for the intellectual prostitutes President Alb
bot Lawrence LOWELL of Harvard University, and Pres
ident Samuel W. Stratton of the Massachusetts Insti
tute Of Technology, who acted Governor Fullers
COMMITTEE that also declared Sacco and Vanzetti
guilty! Bad for all the Goose-step leaders, in
all Americas universities and colleges, who seek to
straight jacket the student mind of the land
1t my privilege to point out to these students the
historic role that the students had played in other lands
told them of the sons and daughters of the workers

Militarism in Haiti.
The committee sent from this coun-
try by the Women's International
League for Peace and Freedom some
months ago, to study conditions in
Haiti, has issued its report. This re-
port states that the committee finds
the conditions in the island somewhat
improved. 1t goes on to recommend
the appointment of an official COM
mission to study transition arrange
ments. That the island be demili-
tarized. That non-commissioned Of
ficers be replaced by Haitians or
suitably commissioned marine corps
officers. That the Protocol of 1915
be modified. That American banks
be asked to pay market rate of inter
est on government deposits. That the
Rockefeller Foundation continue it's
welfare work. And finally that after
the election of parliament RESPONSE
BILE to the people, another commission
be appointed The committee that
went to Haiti were Emily Balch

Leonard D. Abbott in opening his address, paid
tribute to The DAILY WORKER and the fight that it
was making for Sacco-Vanzett
81 have been particularly impressed" said Abbott
with the declaration carried each day at the top of the
first page demanding Sacco and Vanzetti Shall Not
Die! and then counting off the days the hour of
death approaches. The DAILY WORKER is waging
courageous struggle for Sacco and Vanzetti."
Not only the words of Leonard D. Abbott, but the
applause that followed, out the radio which
must have been bad indeed for George l.. Darte
adutant general of the Military Order of the World
War; who is of the leaders in the attack being made
telegram of praise to Governor Fuller.
Abbott told of his personal acquaintance with both
Sacco and Vanzeti and reviewed the sevenyear fight
that had been made to them from death in the cleo
trio chair He told of the revuson in the mind of the
intellectual world against the injustice that had been
done these workers. which has brought protests from
such Anatoe France, Roman ROLAND and H.
G. Wells and host of others.
Attorney Hays made brilliant attack on Governor

called out:
"But what you going to do about it?"
"What you going to do?" asked Hays
"Tm going to strile!" declared the worker.
"All right go ahead and strike, and I'll strike with
you"
The final words of Celia Poisuk, the student,
keep up the fight"
But, with the conclusion of the SaceoVanzetti case
no matter what its outcome capitalism is developing
enemy of proportions among the students
