he Houston police are guilty of
iynching of Robert Powell, a
ing Negro, on the night i'm
diately preceding the democratic
tional convention in Houston, ac-
riding to an article printed in a
uthern paper, Variety" The ar
lie reads in part as follows:
An imprinted story of the lynch
of colored man in Houston by
cemen of that city, just prior to
democratic convention, seems to
: been known by all the news
er men in attendance. 1t was on
ount of the correspondents that
roping bee was smoothed over
the authorities. 1t would not

rid to know that Houston police
en- violated the very lynch law that

"A night or SO before the conven-
ion opened, a policeman and a
oung Negro fired shots at one an
Their. Both were hit and taken to
hospital, where the policeman died

Accordingly, the police of Hous-
ton picked UP five local vagrants on
a lynching charge, told them to be-
have, and they would later be let
loose, otherwise they would get the
limit afterward. One was to write a
confession. Nothing further was
done in reference to the lynching."
This explains the fake trial that
was held in connection with the
lynching, about two months ago. 1t
isztoa be remembered that five men
we're brought to trial for the brutal
4arder of the wounded Robert
Powell, but suddenly nothing further
was done and everything was hushed
up. The police have shown their
true face in one of the most brutal

"The Kellogg peace pact is in no
way in opposition to the program
for the building of fifteen more
cruisers.
"The socialist party and it's the
ories are one of the most sinister
clements in the situation, for they
are carrying out on an international
scale the pacifist propaganda which
demoralizes and fools the workers,
and makes them helpless against
war when it does come.
Robert Minor. editor of the Daily
Worker, in his speech showed that
even mere important than the rival
ries between the imperialist pow
ers, sharper though these are
becoming daily, is the principle an
tagonism that is dividing the world
into two camps--the capitalist pow
ers, on the one hand, and on the
other the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics, behind which stand the
international proletariat and the op-
pressed colonial peoples.
Minor stressed the basic tactic of
the proletariat in capitalist coun-
tries in this situation. the transfer
nation of the imperialist war into
civil war. The struggle must be
intensified against pacifism, which
is screen to hide war prepara-
tons and against social-democratic
parties, which, in their international
struggle against the working class,
have reached the stage of active
counter-revolutionary preparations
for war against the Soviet Union.
This includes the campaign
against the Trotskyist hangers-on
of the social democrats. The Trot-
skyist movement gathers together
all elements of pessimism, discour-
agement. careerism and loss of faith
in the workers cause, all renegades
from the Communist Party, NIL So

lings on the fringes of the labor
movement who in less dangerous
times like to call themselves Com
munists.
Norman Tallentire stated that the
Kellogg pact is prelude to the
next world war, as the great wave
of peace propaganda that covered
up the preparations for the last
world war and ushered it in. The
navy league is now demanding that
more cruisers be built in one year
than were constructed during any
five-year period previously. Today,
just one month after the tenth an
niversary of the 1918 armistice, all
Europe is talking. not about the
last world war but about the next
one.
The Soviet Union is in danger,
said Tallentire, of united attack
by the world capitalist powers, for
the reason that before the imper-
ialist powers can settle the fight
among themselves they must settle
with the Soviet Union. realizing. as
they do, that a number Of Soviet
governments will arise from the
next world war.
The Communist Party, under The
leadership of the Communist Inter
national, will turn this next world
war into a civil war, bringing the
