The Party for the Negroes

against the very business interests
from which they derive their sup
port.
Confusion of Leaders"
In this election campaign the Ne
gro leaders are shifting their sup
port from one party to the other.
So are the Negro masses. The
largest and most influential paper,
the "Ch;cago Defender" has bolted
the republican party and is support
ing the democrats; the Baltimore
Afro American" has openly de-
nounced Hoover and the republicans.
"The Crisis" official organ of the
N. A. A. c. p, "is sitting squarely
on the fence, naked and unashamed
and without apology" William
Pickens, well known as liberal"
says that "the democratic party
should be smashed by the concen-
tration of every Negro vote in sup
port of Herbert Hoover" and that
Negro voters should "play practical
politics in this election rather than
sentimental.
The revolt among the Negro
workers against the two capitalist
parties is increasing tremendously
and is constant source of worry
to the leaders. But no matter what
antics they perform, they can not
stem the tide. Old campaign prom
ises do not avail now. 1t is deeds
that count.
The Workers (Communist) Party
is attracting numbers of Negro
workers to its program of militant
struggle in their behalf. In all sec
tons of the country Negroes are
rallying to the banner of the only
Party that will courageously fight
their battles, and demands for Them,
"full economic, political and social
equality" They are beginning to
realize that the Party has trans
lated into action it's program, SIN
the land of lynch law we will de-
nounce lynching" and "in the home
of Jim-crow we will attack segre-
CATION" They now see that these
are living deeds and not mere prom
Uses. "
Fear Communists.
As an indication of how effective
the Party's campaign among the
Negro workers is, one may note the
conspiracy of silence on the part
of the leading Negro journals, such
as "The Crisis" and Opportunity"
While they mention all other parties,
not one word is said about the
Workers (Communist) Party and its
activities among the Negroes. This
is no mere accident nor ignorance
of the facts.
By their acts the Negro workers
will learn the truth about these
scribblers and penny a-liners."
These parasites will be brushed
aside like so much debris in the
path Of social development. These
Negro editors are tied to the cap
italist chariot, they are dependent
upon philanthropy and doles from
the master class.
But the Negro masses want equal
ity--not aims!
Negro workers, you are exploited
and oppressed as workers and as
members Of racial minority. The
capitalist class and it's two big par
tics, the republican and democratic,
are the parties of lynching, segre-
cation and economic exploitation.
The Workers (Communist) Party
is the party that fights for the abol-
ition Of these conditions. Your
place is within the ranks of this
Party. Your duty is to struggle
with the class-conscious white work.
ers to abolish this hellish system Of
slavery. The solidarity of the black
and white workers under the lead
ership of the Workers (Communist)
Party is the only force that can
strike a real blow for our final
emancipation.
Negro workers, vote the Commu-
mist ticket! Join the Workers
(Communist) Party!
