governmental stability as a condi-
ton for granting credit to the bour-
geoisie in China. In other words,
Wall Street tankers will not lend
money to China unless they are sure
that the risk of such investment is
not too great for them.
How to reduce risks for such an
investment? Naturally to support

HANG WORKER
ON PERJURED
TESTING N Y
Appeal Refused Tho
State Witness
Recants

WILMINGTON, Della, Aug. a.
On the flimsiest of perjured evil
dence, with the state witness twice
confessing to perjury, Theodore
Russ, 25-year-old Negro worker,
was murdered here on the scaffold
at noon Friday-third anniversary
of the murder of Sacco and Van
zetti. Russ was pronounced dead
at 11:24 o'clock by officials who
strangled him in nice, quiet way
and by "due process" of capitalist
law, after he was three times denied
an appeal by the court which tried
him and twice denied a pardon by
the Board of Appeals.
Delaware's lynching was carried
through not by mob with the tacit
approval of the state as is custo-
mary, but by the state and differs
from a mob lynching in that it is
legal" according to the code of
the capitalist oppressors of the
Negro masses. This is Delaware's
contribution to the wave of lynch
ing terror against the Negro work
ers now raging throughout the
country as part of the general terror
against the working-class in the
campaign of the bosses to shift onto
the workers the full burden of the
present deep-going crisis of capt.
alism, with millions of workers
being thrown on the streets by the
bosses to starve.
Russ was charged with criminal
assault on white woman, Mrs.
Reed, living near Woodside, below
Dover. He was convicted on the
testimony Of Linwood Gray, who
swore at the trial that he saw Russ
break into Mrs. Reeds home and
that peeping through the key hole
he saw Russ assault the woman.
Gray later made an affidavit repudi-
ating his testimony. On the basis
of this affidavit, Russ's attorney
made an appeal for a new trial.
The case has been given wide
publicity by various Negro organi-
cations, most of them petty bour-
geoisie and intent upon combining
their protest to mice, respectable"
methods of protest, such as petitions
to the governor, petitions to the
court which convicted him, etc.
These organizations turned the ris-
int anger of the Negro masses into
ineffective, legalistic and petition
ist channels. Class struggle organ
izations like the American Negro
Labor Congress, the international
Labor Defense ETC., who tried to get
information on the case in order to
mobilize the masses to the defense
of Russ were told by the reformists
and takers that it would be better
if they kept out of the case.
In spite of this attitude of the
reformists, the American Negro
Labor Congress called a mass meet
ing but at the last minute the police
of Wilmington interviewed to force
the hall owner to close his hall to
the A.N.L.C. Police then attacked
the hundreds of workers who showed
up for the meeting, arresting sew
eral workers. Negro workers, how
ever, are more convinced than ever
that reformist, petitionist methods
will get them nowhere and are
learning that only the revolutionary
organizations can furnish real lead
ership,

var. It calls on the workers to
insist these billions be turned over
a social insurance fund, to be
upervised by workers. Despite the
risis, the big bosses are still COIN
ng millions. During the past five
six years they reaped huge for
unes by exploiting the workers who
ow starve by the millions.
The Communist Bill goes on to
rovide that all fortunes of $4,000
nd over be levied against for So
ial insurance funds; and that a
eavy, graduated income tax be put
in.o...es Of $4,000 and over. True,
his hits the capitalists. The capt.
alists are responsible for unem-
,loyment and starvation among the
,orkers. The Bill is based on the
eeds and demands Of all workers,
nd is directed against the CAPT
alists and their rotten system.

to give the bill the widest popular

throughout the country one of the

perialist war; defense Of the Soviet
Union, and the mobilization against
the capitalist system and its gov
ernment.

this gigantic fight for social insur-
ance. 1t will be the rallying point
for determined rI-''~gle to force

BERLIN, Aug. 24.-G eneral
Heye, commander of the Reichs-
wehr, has retired. He is replaced
by Hammerstein, Hindenburg's con-
fidant. This is one of the signs of
the preparation for a fascist coup.
The bloc of right wing parties has
just issued joint election appeal
on the basis of the continuation of
Hindenberg's financial, social and
economic state reform program.

the big Five" swelled its profits
from $13, 100000 in 1914 to $780,
$4,000, in 1917 when the United
States entered the war.
There are thousands of other big
companies who coined fortunes out
of the imperialist slaughter. They
all have contracts for still greater
fortunes already signed with the
War Department, in preparation for
the next world war. These COM
panies, headed by the SO big imper-
ialists mentioned by ex-Ambassador
Gerard as the real rulers of the
country, are agitating and prepar-
ing for war.
One of the first demnds of the
Communist Party, in exposing this
war preparation, and in mobilizing
the workers to fight against it, is
that all war funds be turned over
to the 100000 unemployed, in the
form of unemployment insurance.
Hoover and the other imperialist
executives, who fight so vigorously
against unemployment insurance,
can find billions for war purposes.
Hoover can find $300,000,O00 easily
to turn back to the big corporations,
who make huge profits out of war,
in the form Of income tax refunds.
But the bosses have not one cent
for the unemployed.
In the Workers Social Insurance
Bill, advocated by the Communist
Party, these war preparations are
exposed and the demand stressed
that war funds be turned over to
the unemployed.
In the September 1st demonstra-
tions, organized by the T. U. U. l..
on Unemployment Day." one of
the leading slogans will be: "Not
one cent for war preparations; all
funds to the unemployed"
