Capitalist Policy Is Exposed; Black and White
Workers Must Unite

In the West Indies and South AT
RIGA the British overlords have in
,stituted a caste system which they
themselves have brought into being
as sort of buffer-class between
them (the imperialists) and the
broad masses of blacks and East In
dians. These mulattoes are given
preferential treatment economically
and socially as a reward for doing
the dirty work of their foreign mas
tiers. They befuddle the masses and
betray every effort that they make
for improved conditions.
The same policy is pursued by
other imperialist classes-American,
French, etc. Because of this situa-
ton the Anglo-American sections of
the Comintern must pay more at
tention to the colonial areas DOM
mated by British and American i'm
perialism. The Parties must begin
to penetrate these colonies and give
leadership to the peoples who are
daily showing signs of revolt. This
can best be done by training colonial
cadres for work among their own
people.
Bankruptcy of Negro Bourgeoisie.
In the U. S. the colored bour-
geoisie is a reactionary class and
cannot lead the black masses in their
struggle for freedom. For over
three hundred years the Negro
workers have been the "hewers of
wood and drawers Of water" for
the white overlords, but today an
additional burden has fallen on
their backs. The colored bourgeoisie
have joined hands with their white
brothers to continue the unmerciful
exploitation of the black masses.
This upper strata of race parasites
have become well-crystallized class
since the war.
Before the war most Negro work
ers were attached to the land in the
southern states, but with war time
acceleration of industry they mi
grated to the North and took their
place within the ranks of the in
dustrial proletariat. The segregated
ghetto life into which they were
forced lent itself favorably to the
development of black class of bust

100 per cent equality and freedom
between races, for Communism is
the weapon of the working class and
knows no color line. 1t is the bitter
and relentless foe of racial, religious
and national prejudices, which the
ruling class use as forces to divide
and weaken the ranks of the work
ers, thereby maintaining the present
social order.
Divide and Rule Policy.
Negroes as well as white workers
must learn to realize this cunning
device OF "divide and rule" which
the imperialists promote through
their capitalistic controlled agencies
the church, movies, press, schools
and fascist organizations, (American
Legion, K. K. K, etc. In America
this is one of the most effective ways
of ruling the workers.
The labor movement stinks with
race prejudice. The A. F. of L. and
its lackeys-Green, Woll and John
l.. Lewis, and other bureaucrats are
the most open opponents of white
chauvinism to be found anywhere in
the civilized world. By condoning
such a state of affairs, organized
labor in the Right wing unions keeps
the Negro workers out of its ranks,
thereby leaving him to the mercy
of the bosses to be used as scabs
or cheap labor reserve. With the
organization of new industrial unions
under the leadership of militant
workers and agitation within the old
craft unions for admission and equal
rights for Negroes, a new day is
ahead for the black proletariat.
This policy of "divide and rule"
is not peculiar to the U. S. Wher-
ever imperialism prevails the same
methods of fostering prejudices are
in operation. For instance: In In.
dia the Anglo-Indian government
through it's officials and mission
aries encourage religious strife be-
tween the Hindus and Mohammedans
and in this way prevent the unity of
the workers and peasants. For as
long as the Indian masses are di-
vided the oppressors British and
native) will be able to subjugate
and rule them.

A contract bridge tournament has Just been held
in New York, with some Of the best bridge clubs In
the east competing and with the New York Bridge
Whist Club winning the Vanderbilt cup. Similar
tournaments are to be held in other parts OF the

pearance of New York, Boston, Los Angeles and New

Moody for Rapid Work

Gov. Moody In his address to the Hihgway Builders

administration and construction OF permanent paved
state highways be vested with the Texas highway
commission. stating that he was confident this was
the only way in which the highways could be paved
in a satisfactory manner.
He not only took a definite stand in favor Of the
bond issues for state highways. but also expressed a
desire to have a complete system Of state highways
completed in Texas as quickly as possible Further
more. financing the construction Of highway paving
from the revenues derived from the traffic, by which
he meant the gasoline tax and automobile licenses
he declared It the only fair and just way to provide
revenue.
In other words. he insists that those who use the
highways should pay for the highways and their
upkeep. Fair enough. The slogan was invented in
Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania highways are
among the most modern as well as the most durable
in the world.
