The purchase of the power inter-

COMMUNISTS GAIN
STRENGTH IN BIG
GERMAN DRIVE
Social Democrats and
Capitalists in Deal

BERLIN, May 2O--A huge mass
meeting at which were tens of thou
sands of workers, was held at the
Sport Palast under the auspices OF
The German Communist Party. Lead
ors of the German working class ad-
dressed the immense audience point
ing out to them the problems facing
the German workers at this time and
he part which the workers must play
in the present electoral campaign in
the Reich.
That the capitalist and social demo-
cratic parties are forming united
front against the Communists in the
present election struggle, is evident
from indications here.
While some gains are reported
for the social democrats among the
ranks of the disappointed small shop
keeping and professional classes, the
Communists are conceded wide gains
among the radical working class.
The growing strength of the Com
munists among the workers was evil
denced by the magnificent demonstra-
ton in Munich, the stronghold of
Bavarian fascism.
The recent attempt of Keudell to
destroy the Red Front Fighters has
resulted in the Communist organiza-
ton being everywhere received with
enthusiasm among the workers. The
social democrats have made special
effort to smash many meetings in an
effort to counterfeit the growing en-.
thusiasm of the masses for the Red
Front Fighters.
The present methods are exempli-
fled by the way the social democratic
press treated recent attacks of the
fascists in Hamburg, during which
one fascist was killed by fire from
his own men. This is frankly ad.
mitted even by the capitalist press
here.

morning following the attack, ran &

COMMUNISTS OF
HUNGARY APPEAL
FOR AID TO KUN
Urge Interna ito n a |
Workers Support

VIENNA. May 20.-The Hungarian
Communist Party yesterday issued an
appeal to the international proletariat
urging the immediate strengthening
of the campaign for the liberation of
Bella Kun, leader of the Hungarian
Soviet Republic. Kun was arrested
during a recent series of police raids
in Vienna.
The appeal Of the Hungarian Party
follows the recent demonstration of
the Vienna workers for the immediate
liberation of the imprisoned leader.
Mass feeling has run high in Vienna
ever since the seizure of Bella Kun and
has virtually forced the government
to desist from violent action.
1t is understood that the Austrian
government is waiting for final de-
cision of the British Tory cabinet. be-
fore making a disposal Of the case.
In spite of the terror to which the
Hungarian proletariat has been sub
mitted by the Horthy regime, the
Hungarian workers have been aroused
by the continued Imprisonment Of Bella
Kun and reports from Budapest state
that only the unusual repressive
measures enforced by the authorities
prevent open protest.

BOMBAY, May 20.-Growing UNI
rest among the workers in the Indian
railway shops is reported from all
sections of the country as the govern
ment takes measures to violently re-
press any outbreaks that may occur.
The growth of mass resistance
among the Indian workers is not
limited to the railroad and textile
strikers, reports state. But from
Madras to Simula, among industrial
workers and small peasants the feel
ing of unrest is on the rise.
Authorities, a armed by the
frightening of the mass resistance
following the long continuance of the
Bombay textile strike, are making de-
tailed preparations for handling the
situation. The recent shooting during
which strikers at the railroad shops
at Howrah were killed, is understood
to foreshadow the method which the
government intends to use in smash
ing any general strike movement.
BOMBAY, May 20.-Considerable
discomfort is reported from Delhi over
the announcement that Mahatma
Ghandi intends a return to active
political life. Ghandi will make an
attempt to heal the breaches between
the Hindu and Mohametan leaders
which have been rending the All-India
conference at Delhi. it is said In
other quarters, Ghandi's move is
viewed as a shrewd effort to utilize
the growing mass unrest in India for
personal political purposes.

C. o. P. Not Sincere

If the republican party is sincere
about building up the party in the
south to the extent as to make it
possible to carry several of the states
in national elections, why doesn't it
enfranchise 100000 Negroes down
there and be assured of such pos
sibility?
We know exactly what all of this
hullabaloo is about down in Mississip-
pi and Georgia. 1t is simply that the
white people down there do not like
to see Negroes in control of federal
patronage, and the whole thing now
looks to us as though the national
G. o. p. has joined in the scheme.
We protest against such nefarious
methods as are being used with the
aid of the government, as an act of
bad faith toward the Negroes, not
only in the south, but in the north
and in the border states.-St. Louis
Argus.

ly is an evidence that the ''lily white
republicans of the south are deter
mined to kill the race in the south.
Therefore, Perry Howard is a victim,
incidentally of the old sectional color
prejudice of the south. What posi-
ton the republican party is going to
take in the indictment of Perry How
ard, we are waiting to see. In this
fight against Howard, the party has
more to lose in the Negro vote
throughout the north than it can pos
sibly gain from the solid white south.
This fight is thrust at the race lead
ership in anticipation of the Hoover
administration. These charges are
wrenches thrown into the political
machine of the so called big four.
Cohen, Church, Davis, and Howard.
Hoover is not yet elected. The
race in the north is not yet commit
ted to the republican campaign. We
are watching the political leadership
of the G. o. P. Its relation and atti-
tude toward the lilly whites" of the
south is certainly vital to US in the
north.-The Detroit Informer.
