Here was the appointed place for
divine service which was the first
thing on the program Of the three
festive days. From a pulpit hung
high on the side of the cliff like an
eagles nest, Bishop Jon Heglason
conducted a half hour service in
voking the guidance Of the white
Christ Of the South" who 900 years
ago ousted Thor and Odin from the
hearts or the Icelanders.

After divine service. the Iceland

procession and crossed a sparkling

through Almannagja rift. into whose
deepest recesses the sun never pene-
trates, plodding along the winding
road Y the same route taken by
the first legislators of the ancient
1celandic republic TO the great rock
Of laws in the center OF the historic
plain. There they grouped them
selves In the manner OF the ancient
Vikings under the banners OF their
respective localities.
The Icelandic parliament. or Al
thing, is nov held in Reykjavik. But
formerly, for the long span Of nearly
nine centuries. 1t was held at Thing
vellir or the Plain OF Assembly.
The Althing Is reckOned to have
been established In 600. "A universal
code OF law for the Icelandic repuh-
lie was then accepted. At the time
the northern peoples did not write
down their laws. but mem0rized
them and had them rehearsed III
public at their Things or assem-

republic Is not known. for it was

VIEWS OF
THE PUBLIC
AT The Basis Of Lynch Law
From the Southern Worker"

Lynching is not some "evil" sepa-
rate and apart from the whole evil of
the capitalist system. 1t is part and
parcel of the whole system of capita
list exploitation.
Any ruling class, which exploits
the masses in the manner in which
100000 Negroes are being eX-
plotted in this country, must have re-
sort to all manner of terrorism to
"keep the niger in his place" In
the most extreme and brutal form of
terrorism used against the Negroes.
Actual lyllching by rope, stake and
run, bv some mob Of white hoodlums
usually led by white business men, IS
not, however, the only form that
lynching takes. There are many more
subtle and deceptive methods, cover
ed with the cloak of democracy, IN
which lynch law takes its toll. Under
the guise Of fighting that horrible
lynching eviP' the courts are being
made to function more effectively
against the Negroes. A Governor
Gardner can make himself seem
more "humane" by offering reward
for the arrest of a lynch-mob leader
and ordering an investigation which
he knows will bring no results, but at
the same time make lynch law serve
it's function by giving it legal flavor
Thus, in one week, the state of North
Carolina executes Is Negroes. Lyn-
chings are becoming too uncomfort-
able for the ruling class for they a.
rouse too much revolt among the
workers, both white and Negroes.
Therefore, Let's do it legally, by put
ting the mark of approval OF the
state on every lynching.
Continually, every minute OF the
day, the whole system of segregation,
and jim-crowism functions as a lynch
law process in a thousand and one
ways, making the Negro suffer all
forms of humiliation and persecu-
lions. Making the Negro seem like a
lower form of humanity, who for
some reason or another have not yet
attained that degree Of higher white
civilization which finds such keen de-

ASensible Pastor

The Moore Street Baptist
Church, is to be commended for
it's wise choice in selecting a
pastor in the person of DIR. Cor
don B. Hancock. While no two
persons in the world agree on all
subjects the eminent pastor of
Moore Street Church comes
nearer to the writer's ideal of
a live minister than any that
we have heard in the city OF
Richmond. He not only teaches
his communicates in spiritual
things, but gives them his views
or the vital questions of the
day, instructs them in the duties
of citizenship and gives pointers;
on how to live a full and useful
life on this terrestrial globe. We
believe that his teachings bear
out our contention that if we
can once learn how to live, dy-
ing will become one OF the least
of our worries.

Richmond should welcome the n.
A. A. C. P. official group, which is
scheduled to visit Richmond next
week for the purpose of organizing
a branch here. Fresh from recent
victories on battle fronts of pre-
judice and race hatred, their efforts
here should be prolific in gaining
recruits for this army styled as the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
We know that an organization of
this type is nteded here and we hope
that the movement will be success
full because of this knowledge. The
local branch would aid in centraliz-
ing the Negroes drive for improve
ment in his social, political and eco
nomic life and stabilize the forces
necessary to be used in such efforts.
Richmond has been puzzle to the
Negroes of other States because they
expect so much of US and see so
little. In fact, sometimes it seems
that Richmond Ntgroes live in Afri-
ca or "some other seaport" when
movement of national import gets on
the swing. Twas not always so. 1t

Opening remarks were made by
State Deputy Amos C. Clark. He

of Queen St. Baptist Church. His

A brief spicy inspirational adj

on the Reds that he was Unlisted

by Bro. A. G. Aston Red enthus-

light in all the delicacies Of lynchlng,
makes it that much easier to give him
lower wages, the dirtiest work, take
his crops away from him, fire him.
And if the Negro revolts there is
lynch law to deal with him.
The increased wave Of lynchlngs
this year over las; year-there have
been more than t vice as many lynch
ings thus far this year than during
the whole of 1929-is reflection OF
the increased misery Of the masses
due to the crisis and their revolt a.
gainst these conditions. AS the bosses
clamp down the iron fist of exploita-
ton harder, so must they weld the
lynch rope more often.
The growing realization Of the
white workers, under the pressure Of
the stark reality of unemployment
and wage-cuts, that any attack upon
the Negro masses is an attack direct
ly upon them also, has already hewed
great hole in the wall Of segrega-
ton. The Communist Party, since it's
entry into the South, has played no
little part in breaking thru the boss
es' lynch law system, by exposing it
and organizing Negro and white
workers together.
The fight against lynching is part
of our whole struggle against capita
ism. Only by defeating capitalism,
by smashingthe whole lynch law sys-
tenn, can we do away with lynching.
No worker must be fooled by the
commission of "White Supremacy"
professors and editors such as recent
ly formed in Atlanta, to survey the
lynching system, and utter q few
words about the "horrors Of lynch
ing"
The full energies of the white and
Negro workers Of the South must be
devoted to making success Of the
Anti-Lynching Conference in Chat
tanooga, called by the Provisional
Committee for the South Of the
American Negro Labor Congress, for
November 1, to make it representa-
tive of the wide and militant masses
of Southern toilers.

Don't Blame It All On Hoover
By WILLIAM CoNKLIN BROWN

would have been charged with the
business depression and hard times.
But could the Republicans truthful
ly have said the President was sole
ly responsible for such a condition?
The job of being President is hard
at it's best and it seems that the
President of the United States
could be spared of uncalled-for ridi-
cule.
1t is, however, true that President
Hoover has not taken bold stands On
some of the more important ques-
lions coming up during his two years
in office, but remember Congress
must past the bills. The President
has at least offered a constructive
plan for Congress to follow. His at
titude toward the Negro has not
been all that We should wish, but
too, we must remember that many
Negroes have gone over to the De-
mocati party. The plan that the
President has seemingly taken to-
ward the Negro has been to recog-
nize in the districts where his vote
counts. This is borne out by the ap-
pointments he made. So if you have
not paid your taxes and prepared to
VOTE don't blame it on HOOVER.
