'In Time of Peace Pacts Prepare
for War;"

we cannot know what resources may be
left to the Union of Socialist Soviet Repub-
lies at the present moment of its struggle
against the coming imperialist war in con-
nection with the so-called Kellogg Pact. But
this much is certain-the braZenly dishonest
device of inviting" the Soviet Union to sign
the Pact after the negotiations as to the ma
ture of the pact had been closed is only
further proof of what Comrade Chicherin
said in statement to the press some weeks
prior to the signing of the Pact:
1.-THE exclusion of the sSovet government
from these negotiations leads in the first
place to the assumption that, among the real
objects of the initiators of this pact there OBJ
yiously and is the endeavor to make of this
pact weapon for isolating and fighting
against the Soviet Union. The negotiations
regarding the conclusion of the Kellogg pact
obviously integral part of the policy
of encircling the Soviet Union which at this
moment occupies the central point of the inter-
national relations of the whole world would
remind you that delegate Comrade Lit
vinov his return from the December meet
ing of the Preparatory Commission Dis
armament, gave in his report short analysis
of the Kellogg proposals regarding the conclu-
sons of a pact and ably showed that the out
having of war weapon of national policy
is synonymous with preparing weapon
of international counter-revolution.
After the Union of Socialist Soviet Repub-
lies is excluded from all negotiations as to
the terms and conditions of the pact, so that
without interference by any nation pursuing
real peace policy, the capitalist diplomats
could shape the Kellogg document into "a
weapon for isolating and fighting against
the Soviet Union"-"a weapon of interna-
tional counter-revolution, the belated So
called invitation to the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics can be nothing more than
further maneuver against the Soviet Union
1t is one more proof that the imperialist
powers feel the active need of mobilization
slogan for a coming war against the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics. Whatever
recourse may yet be found by the Soviet
Union in this situation, it is certain that the
imperialists intend their Invitation" itself to
give them political advantage against the
Soviet Union. They offer the Soviet Union
the chance to sign pact facilitating the en-
circlement of the Soviet Union and war
against it; and in the event of refusal to sign,

Communist Candidate Challenges a Negro
Minister to Make Good His Promise

paigns, the candidate comes, de-
hvers flattering speeches and
makes great promises, which only
last until election day. In fact,
the present republican administra-
ton stood by and held the coats
of the southern democrats while
they stoned us; in other words,
they have held their peace while
the democrats violated the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments,
while sending up mighty howl
about the Eighteenth.
ITO my mind, it will not pay the
Negro to lose friendship over Mr..
Smith nor Mr.. Hoover, but our
only salvation lies in selecting
some real men of our race, not
only in Harlem but throughout the
country, and send them to con-
gress, to the state legislature, and
elect them judges"
Yes, in respect to the republican
and democratic parties, it is abso-
lutely correct and indisputable to
affirm that to-day the black man is
without a party" But fortunately
for the oppressed Negro race, there
is a growing militant and powerful
party of the oppressed Negro and
other workers of America, the
Workers tCommunist) Party of
America
The Workers Party stands forth
today as the champion of the OPP
pressed Negro race and of all other
oppressed groups in the country.
Unlike the republican and democratic
parties, which segregated and ex-
tcluded Negroes at their national
conventions, the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party welcomed and seated "a
Negro delegates. These delegates
participated on all important COM
mittees, many serving as chairmen
of sessions, and helped to draft a
program of action for the complete
emancipation of the oppressed
masses of America.
Only Party for Negroes.
This platform is a historic docu-
ment. 1t is the first time in, the po-
litical history of America that a
party has taken such an unequivocal,
uncompromising and militant stand
upon the Negro question. l ask that

section dealing with the oppression

Negro masses and is therefore the
only party which deserves their sup
port.
The Workers Party, in accordance
with its stand for the complete
emancipation of the Negro race,
nominated three Negro candidates
on its state ticket-Lovett Fort
Whiteman for State Comptroller;
Richard B. Moore for Congress from
the 21st Congressional District, and
Edward Welsh for Assembly from
the 21st Assembly District. These
candidates, standing as they do up
on platform which demands the
abolition of the whole system OF
racial discrimination, will be COM
PEELED to wage a militant struggle
in the legislative offices and will
have the support of their party.
Not Question of Individuals.
| am sure you will agree that it
is not enough to have individuals
who are sympathetically disposed
toward the Negro race, or even Ne,
gro candidates in office, if they lack
the clear understanding of the true
situation and the spirit of militancy
and struggle. 1t is also necessary
in fact, it is absolutely essential-to
have party back of these candi-
dates which will compel them to toe
the mark and will stand back of
them with its support.
A Negro who is bound hand and
foot by the corrupt and oppressive
democratic and republican machines,
will be unable to fight militantly for
the interests of his race. But even
if he had the desire to do so, he
would be completely blocked by his
party. We know what happens to
men who break the discipline of
their political machine. We know
how Governor Sulzer was impeached
by the democratic machine and how
Theodore Roosevelt was broken by
the republican plunderbund. These
instanceS are conclusive. If Tam
many Hall did not hesitate to i'm
peach a governor, what would it not
do to a Negro who did not obey its
mandates? If the republican party
did not hesitate to crush the most
influential single figure in American
political life, what will it not do to
a Negro? Both republican and
democratic parties have given evil
dence in this connection. If the re-
publican party will indict and Jail
its most faithful Negro henchmen,
such as Perry Howard and Warner,
what would it not do to a militant
Negro who broke it's discipline fight
ing for the interests of his op-
pressed race? All this convinces us
of the necessity of supporting a
party which actually supports our
cause.

amount of data and proofs to dem

The GLORY" of Reformism.
"We do not deny" he continued,
"that the governments defend the
rights of private property and the
wage system, but labor reformism
is not interested in hypothetical
aims. :" On these principles Arevalo
announced, he is going to start a
campaign among the workers and
intellectuals of Cuba for the organ
ization of the long expected social
list party of Cuba, as there is a
great necessity for such a party"
Arevalo is the editor of weekly
paper in Havana called "Accion
Socialista- Organo Defensor del Pro-
letariado," in which he pictures the
dictator Machado as the friend of
the proletariat.
Surprising as it may seem from
this exposure of his characteristics,
Arevalo met with an unexpected adj
venture when returning from Eur
ope. Before leaving for Cuba, he
went to visit his parents in Coruna,
in Northern Spain. There the police
of Primo de Rivera promptly ar
rested him as a dangerous char
acter. Arevalo complained bitterly
about this incident, that though
equipped with a diplomatic pass
port and being an official delegate
of the Cuban government" he was
kept in Jail for twelve days in spite
of the intervention Of the Cuban
consul in Coruna and the Cuban
ambassador in Madrid. The fact of
being the editor of such a dangerous
paper as his "Accion Socialista" was
sufficient to make him suspected,
notwithstanding the assurances of
the Cuban ambassador.

Machado Tool Spread Reformist Talk

Especial to the Daily Worker
HAVANA, Aug. 27.-Juan Are
valo, Machado's tool in the Cuban
labor organizations, who was "elect-
ed" to represent Cuban labor at the
recent conference of the Geneva
Labor Office, gave long interview
on his return to Havana to the
"Diario de la Marina" the largest
newspaper of this city.
He began by pointing out how he
was chosen to represent the Cuban
workers because he represents
within the universal labor trade
onion movement the evolutionist So
al theories as opposed to the Red
Trade Union International Moscow
and all its revolutionary extravag-
ances whose results are perfectly
disastrous for those workers who
follow these theories" He continued
by describing how in this respect
he was in perfect accord with the
leaders of Amsterdam and the Sec
ond International whom he met in
Europe.
Organize in Argentine.
From these meetings, Arevalo re-
ports, the idea was born to organ
ize a central Latin American Labor
Office in Buenos Aires in connec-
ton with the "Confederacion Obrera
Argentina" which is affiliated with
Amsterdam. Arevalo explained that
this Latin American organization
will by no means try to oppose the
Pan-American Federation of Labor.
But he hopes that such an organiza-
ton, with the center in Buenos
Aires, will be able to approach many
labor organizations which the Pan
American Federation of Labor was
unable to reach, because the an
archists, Communists and syndical-
lists are spreading false conceptions
about the purpose and aims of the
PAIL"

he puts his fake anti-war treaty

came a look that Emmy had seen IN

She saw then that there was no
use in trying to talk to him any
longer. The only thing to do was to
go and leave him. That might make
him realize that she meant what she
said. So long as she stayed he would
think simply that she was leading
him on, coquetting with him.
She came out into the late after
