the lmperialists will cry: "See! The Bolshe-
vlks alone refuse peacer
Having once turned pale before the Soviet
diplomats proposal for complete and i'm
mediate disarmament at their disarmament
conference, the imperialists dared not give
the Soviet diplomats a chance to propose
really to outlaw war at a conference for the
outlawry of war" For thus the Soviet
diplomats would have demonstrated to the
world that the outlawry of war is an i'm
possibility to capitalist imperialst govern
ments.
The workers of the entire world should
know that the signing of the Kellogg BRAND
pact yesterday brings the imperialist world
war closer by seven-league stride. The
hypocritical farce at Paris is a warning to
the working class to prepare for the coming
war.
The Pact was signed in an atmosphere of
war, with reservations intended by both
Great Britain and France as steps to their
particular vantage points for the coming war
The Pact was proposed by the biggest i'm
per1allst power, the United States, which is
preparing feverlshly an enormous war
machine with which to enforce it's position
as the dominant Imperialism of the whole
world. And the whole process developed to
farther stage the grouping of war forces in
positions hostile to the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics.
The complex of war maneuvers against the
Soviet Union is not the only ghost that
haunted the Sale de rHorloge when the
treaty was signed. The imperialst rivalry
between the United States, an imperialist
power almost without colonies and out to con-
quer colonial empire, and Great Britain,
struggling to keep its weakening hold upon
worldful of colonies, is vortex for all i'm
periahsts intrigues. The impulsion of
series of imperialist nations toward the ex-
tinction of the Chinese revolution and the
conquest of China is more powerful than the
new parchment from the skin of milk-fed
lamb" that Kellogg took to Paris.
Workers of the world! Get ready to de-
fend the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics
for imperialist Peace" has been declared!
The stern duty of the working class. ex-
plotted farmers and oppressed colonials, will
be to transform the imperialist war into
revolutionary war against the capitalist
class-for liberation from wars and exploita-
ton.

Communist Candidate Challenges a Negro
Minister to Make Good His Promise

paigns, the candidate comes, de-
llvers 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 a 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 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-
cluded Negroes at their national
conventions, the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party welcomed and seated "a
Negro delegates. These delegates
participated on all important COM
many serving as chairmen
of sessions, and helped to draft a
of action for the complete
of the oppressed
masses of America.

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 a platform which demands the
abolition of the whole system of
racial discrimination, will be com

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
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 governor, what would it not
do to Negro who did not obey it's
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

it's most faithful Negro henchmen,
such as Perry Howard and Warner,
what would it not do to a militant
Negro who broke its discipline fight
ing for the interests of his OPP
pressed race? All this convinces us
of the necessity of supporting
party which actually supports our
cause.

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 party"
Arevalo is the editor of a weekly
paper in Havana called "Accion
Socialism, rgano 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 ad-
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 dangerous char
acter. Arevalo complained bitterly
about this incident, that though
equipped with 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 dangerous
paper as his "Accion Socialista" was
sufficient to make him suspected,
Notwithstanding the assurances of

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 a long interview
on his return to Havana to the
"Diarip 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
union movement the evolutionist So
cial 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.

From these meetings, Arevalo re-

this Latin American organization
will by no means try to oppose the
pan-American Federation of Labor.

''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 it's struggle
against the coming imperialist war in con-
nection with the so-caled 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 Conlrade Chicherin
said IN statement to the press some weeks
prior to the signing of the Pact:
- THE exclusion of the Soviet government
from these negotiations leads us in the first
place to the assumption that among the real
objects of the initiatOrs of this pact there OBJ
v1ously was 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
are 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, on his return from the December meet
ing of the Preparatory Commission on Dis
armament, gave in his report a short analysis
of the Kellogg proposals regarding the conclu-
sions of pact and ably showed that the out
having of war weapon of national policy
is synonymous with preparing as a 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 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,
