East ". Y. Unit Denounces
Louestone Gang BURGLARY

The East New York Unit, Section
8, Communist Party of the U. S. A.
at its meeting held Aug. OF, sharply
condemns the recent act of burglary
committed by the Lovestone gang
on the National Office of the C. P.
U. S. A.
This act clearly reveals the anti
working class and anti-Communist
character to which this INSCRIPTIONS
group of renegade opportunists have
so rapidly degenerated. Such an
outrage could have been committed
only by the worst enemies of the
Party. This is an act of counter
revolution. This is an act typical
of Mr.. Lovestone, expert in crooked
Tammany Hall methods, who would
subject the Party to a continuation
of his corrupt, rotten fractional tao
tics and opportunist political line.
The Party knows how to answer
the attacks of the petty-bourgeois

by American capitalism. The Italian
proletariat, always at the vanguard
in the struggle for the freedom of
all countries, greets in the jailed
brothers of Gastonia, the fighters of
a common struggle.
The struggle conducted by the
workers of Gastonia is one of inter-
est to the workers of all other coun-
tries; it is struggle which is being
fought in one of the largest sections
of the battlefront of the world pro-
letariat against capitalism.
To the coalition of the capitalist
forces we must oppose the coalition
of the forces of the proletariat Of
all countries.
The legal justice of American cap
italism which murdered Sacco and
Vanzetti is not less brutal than the
reaction than the legal "justice" of
Italian fascism which openly reveals
its class character. The objective of
both capitalisms is the same: to
crush every movement of the work
ing class.
The Italian proeltariat which is
going through one of its most bloody
experiences and the most violent of
expressions, is very sensitive to the
problems of working class solidarity
in defense Of the victims Of the class
justice of international capitalism.
The Italian proletariat under
stands and emphasizes that mass ac-
ton, mass action organized on q
world scale, alone can prevent Amer
lean capitalism to commit this new
crime. The defense of the Gastonia
workers is one of the most important
tasks of the proletariat OF all
countries.
The Italian workers, therefore, are
with you in this fight and express
to you their profoundest of soil
darity.
We are enclosing 1000 lire as a
contribution to the campaign you
have started. The italian proletariat
which finds itself in miserable con-
ditions due to the oppression of the
fascist dictatorship, is not in posi-
ton to send a more substantial sun
as it is very much in need Of ale
itself. Nevertheless, the italian
workers wish to show even in this
modest way their solidarity with
their fighting comrades in America
In the name of 1880 prisoners Of
| fascism, in the name of the workers
Of our country who have not sub
mitted to the fascist reaction, We
greet the brothers of Gastonia ant
hope that the united and immediate
action of the workers of every
country will save them from the
danger that threatens them.
With fraternal greetings.
