The "Texas Freeman of Houston,

hardly correct, but the story makes
up for this. 1t is similar to the one
referred to in the east Tennessee
News, but is given as from its own
New York correspondent instead of
being attributed to the Crusader
News Service. 1t includes, how
ever, the following reference to the
Communist Party which is not in
the other paper:
"As result of the aggressive
championship of the cause of the
Negro workers by the Workers
Party of America, observers in the
Harlem district and in the Negro
communities of Chicago, Baltimore
ETC., have been noticing of late a
growing trend toward the Workers
Party and its candidates. And espe-
cially is this the case with Negro
voters who previously had adopted
a policy of defeatism and pessimism
declaring that since both the re-
publican and democratic parties had
been proven treacherous to Negro
interests it was no use for Negroes
to bother to vote in the coming
election.

In the city edition of Saturdays Daily

text OF one sentence of which, as written,
was:
That the upbuilding of socialism in one
country is possible, is the verdict of his

impossible" Needless to say such mis-
take cannot be left uncorrected, even though
purely typographical. The general text of

Herbert Hoover has been the con-
slant apologist of the electric pow
er industry. In 1925 he went before
the Los Angeles convention of the
National Electric Light Association
and gave them clean bill of health
at the very moment that they were
voting large amounts of money for
propaganda in the press and the
schools in favor Of private owner
ship of power resources. Hoover
gave them, for their propaganda
use, statement that they were not
canning more than 6 per cent on
their investment--an absurd lie.
He said that regulation was ade-
quate when every public service
commission had been compelled to
~~iticize it. Hoover is supported by

For Y.-President
Communism in the Schools

Not only does the capitalist class pollute
the minds of children in the public schools
in the hope that they will become loyal
lackeys of Imperialism, but they suppress
with fury every attempt to bring the real
facts of life, especially the facts about the
class struggle in modern society, before the
pupils. That the teachers whose job it is
to mlslnform the pupils with capitalist ig-
norance and prejudice are unable to meet
the arguments of the Pioneers of the Young
Workers League is evidenced by the recent
expulsion from Junior High School, the
Bronx, of Harry Eismann and Bernard Kap-
Ian. This expulsion was the elimination of
campaign of terrorism against the Pion-
GERS that has been going on since the be-
ginning of the term. The principal, self
styled liberal, admitted that he suspended
them for carrying on agitation against over
crowded schools, demanding an annex. a
cafeteria and discussing working class strupE
giles in classes
This suspension in New York is one of
series of attacks against the Young Pioneers
by the combined forces of the state-the
courts, the police, the press, the schools. In
Los Angeles the headquarters of the Young
Workers League was raided and the leaders
of the movement jailed IN New Bedford
and Fall River the police are stationed at
headquarters and do not permit the children
to enter their own halls.
Of course, this is another means of trv
ing to stifle the Communist movement in
this country, by striking at the Pioneer
movement. But no attempts of the school
authorities, the courts, the police, the Amer
lean Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars or
any other agency, can crush these Red
youngsters. Rather the attacks against
them will steel them in the struggle and as
sure the future of the Communist move
ment in this country.
Behind the Pioneers stands the vanguard
of the proletariat of this country, the Work
ers (Communist) Party, under whose guild
ance many youngsters in their early teens
are able to expose and ridicule the shabby
pretenses to learning of the teachers and
professors turned out of the best schools of
capitalism. The Pioneer movement is rapid
ly growing and no studied terror can stife
it,

A dozen Negro newspapers which
have come to our attention give an
interesting survey of the reaction
of the Negro press to the election
campaign of the Workers (Commu.
MISTY Party. The papers are from
as far South as Florida and Texas,
as far North as New York. They
give a good picture of how the
typical Negro newspaper is treat
ing the Communist campaign. Every
one of the papers has the point of
view of the average Negro editor
little capitalist interested first of
all in advertising and in keeping
the bourgeois and petty bourgeois
advertisers placated.
Yet the attitude of the two big
capitalist parties toward the Negro
problem has been so viciously chauv-
inistic, so reeking with intolerance
and race hatred that these petty
bourgeois papers have on the one
hand been ready to print material
on the Communist campaign, and
on the other hand have been forced
by pressure of the Negro masses
and by the ferment among the race
conscious intellectuals and petty
bourgeoisie, to make some answer
to the attacks of the two big parties
upon the Negro. They have usually
not dared to do so directly in their
own name, but by printing state
ments of, the activities and views
of the Communist candidates toward
the Negro problem, have been able
to express their protest to certain
extent.
Typical Case.
Let US take some of the papers
and see how the Communist election
message has affected them. There
is, for example, the EAST Tennes-
see News" of Knoxville, issue of
October 4. 1t is a conservative,
typically small town republican
paper, backing the white mayor of
the city for the senate, praising To-
cal business men because they are
boosting the city as good place
for manufacturers to come to, and
urging the electrocution of Negro
who killed white policeman.
Yet one of the chief stories on the
front page of this paper, in large
black headlines reads as follows:
Communists Conducting Aggres-
sive Campaign for Big Colored
Vote" This article describes the
campaign of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party in Harlem, the large

chance to climb on their bandwagor
and share in the loot. Hoover then
pronounced the Harding program
mote this carefully Constructive
and after election he became secre-
tary of commerce in the infamous
Harding cabinet.
Another expose has been made of
Hoover's connection with oil by for
mer Senator Hansbrough of North
Dakota, who claims to have docu-
ments proving Hoover's ownership
OF l,787000 acres of Gil lands in
Colombia, and larger concessions in
Mexico. Hoover is most certainly an
imperialfst, supporting a corrupt
imperialist republican record.

From Oregon.
If we take, for instance, the Port
land (Oregon) Advocate" of Sep
TENDER FL, we find that the chief
first page story has a full page
headline which reads: Communist
Flags Both Parties" This is a
Crusader News Service story quot
ing Comrade Richard B. Moore's at
tack on the Endorsement of Smith
by local independent league of
Negro voters. The same issue car
ries an account of the speech by G.
Alexander, a member of the Young
Workers (Communist) League and
the American Negro Labor Congress
at an international Youth Day meet
ing, and reference to Dubois,
article in the October issue of the
"Crisis."
This paper, like the others men,
toned and like all bourgeois and
petty bourgeois papers, is interested
first of all in it's advertising, re-
ligious and society" news. The
editorials are neutral ones, neither
republican nor democratic, just
mildly protesting against discrimi-
nation and suggesting nothing to
stop it. But it is Negro-conscious,
and an honest and courageous at
tack against discrimination and
prosecution by the two big capital
lst parties can receive hearing.
Since the Communist Party is the
only one that takes stand in OBJ
position to discrimination and
against persecution of the Negro
and for full social and political
equality with the whites, it is get
ting this hearing to rapidly in
creasing degree.
Another Florida Storm.
The Tampa" (Florida) "Bul-
letin" is one of the best examples
which has. come to our attention
OF the extent to which Communist
and left wing influence has affected
the Negro press. Practically the
entire first page of the issue of
September %, is full of Crusaders
News Service releases and Commu-
mist news. This includes an account
of G. Alexander's speech against
the danger of another world war,
Moore's attack on the two big par
ties, a speech of Foster against
lynching and Jim Crowism, the story
OF Negro workers in the New York
district, one on the opening of a
Negro headquarters by the Work
ers (Communist)' Party in Harlem,
the election of VIM. Boyce, Negro
miner, as vice-president Of the new
left wing National Miners Union,
and his speech in New York, a story
of the Negroes in the Textile Mill
Committee, etc.
This paper, like the others, is for
business first, urging editorially
that the Negro must quit advertis-
ing for NEGRO Patronage" "He

must go after business-not colored
business, but business. The sooner
Negroes see and learn this lesson
the sooner will they take their place
among the leaders in the world of
commerce" Relatively more space
is occupied in this paper by Invest
ment Facts" than by anything else
except the local society news.
Increases Tempo.
1t may be claimed that Commu-
mist agitation and propaganda in
paper like this means nothing, but
it must be remembered that the
Negro masses read this press in SO
far as they read any Negro press,
there is no other press for them.
The Negro Champion" has a COM
paratively narrow circle of readers
and is not yet a mass paper. Slow
ly the Negroes are realizing that
no political party but the Workers
Party is defending their interests
and an election year is worth any
other four ordinary years in its ac-
celerative effects upon the tempo
with which our message reaches the
masses.
The effectiveness of the Party's
campaign among the Negroes is evil
denced by an editorial in the Char
lotte IN. CO. observer" of October
ID, headed, San Enemy of the
Negroes" which refers to the south
ern tours of Foster and Moore, and
says in part: "This party 1.-THE Com
munist Party is going largely on
single plank designed to secure
the Negro vote by advocating 'ab-
solute political, economical and So
cial equality" 1t tries to incite the
Negroes against the propagation of
"Class-hatred" The significance of
this editorial is that it shows clear
ly that it recognizes the Negro prob
lem as one of the chief planks in the
Communist election program (not,
of course, as the Single plank").
The entire press Of the country,
Negro and white, recognizes and adj
mits, so far as it is unable to keep
entirely silent about the Communist
Party, that the Communists are the
only Party that has a thoro-going
election message for the Negroes,
one that goes to the revolutionary
root of the problem. The white
press, conservative as it is in the
main, admits by the treatment lin
our campaign of the Negro problem.
that we are the only friends of the
Negro as RAGE, even though it
refuses to take/dp the class implica-
tons of our Program.
Must Continue the Work.
In this election campaign the
Workers (Communist) Party has
done more to approach the Negro
working masses and the Negro race
than ever before in it's entire his
tory and its success has been pro-
portionately greater than at any
time in the past. This good work
must go on after the election. The
new regions penetrated must be
given attention and the Party or
ganization, the left wing and the
American Labor Negro Congress
must be built up there. The big
gest opportunity of years, presi-
Dental election campaign in which
the Negro problem is to the fore,
must continue to be big for the fu-
ture; for in dealing with the Negro
problem, especially in the south, we
are dealing with great social force,
with an oppressed group in American
society which, when it is made
revolutionary force, will be one of
the greatest factors making for
revolutionary overthrowal of Amer
lean impeyialist capitalism.
