On the Liberation of Cuba

WORKERS of the United States must be
deeply interested in the liberation of Cuba
from American imperialism. And because we
must help in every way this liberation strug-
gle, we must at the same time carefully scru-
tinize the programs of all anti-mperialist
groups and organizations.
Among Cuban emgres, driven out by the
terror of Machado, at present one of the most
influential organizations is the Association of
Revolutionary Emigrants of Cuba (known as
ANERC, from its initials). This organiza-
ton undoubtedly has in its ranks many sin
cere and loyal anti-imperalsts including work
ers as we'll as intellectuals. An examination
of its program, however, discloses grave de-
fects which threaten its effectiveness as an in
strument of struggle against Wall Street.
What are these defects? They may be
found condensed in the slogans of it's program
of action, which are: freedom of commerce in
Cuba" "real democratic reorganization of the
political parties" "for constituent assembly"
"for the establishment of revolutionary DEM
ocratic government"
What is the political significance of such
-'-~r They signify the domination of
pet urgeois program in the ANERC, the
SD alton of the interests of the workers
and SAINTS. The Cuban liberation move
me, mot effectively combat American i'm
per- y except upon the basis of the class
interests of the masses of workers and peas
ants, but these class interests are not repre-
scented in the program of the ANERC.
Against the slogan freedom of commerce"
{that is, a specific freedom" for the petty
bourgeoise) we must put forth the slogan of
freedom Of organization, press, assemblage,
for the workers and peasants"
Against the slogan of democratic reorgan-
ization of the political parties" (Which is
merely demand of the petty bourgeoisie to
be admitted into the parties of the big bour-
gcoisie) we must put forth the slogan Of Sup

81 (Continued)
IN the meantime thousands of fee charging
employment agencies continue to flourish and
in every state. Their purpose is two-fold: First
to make the greatest profit possible from the
plight Of the unemployed, and second to assist
the employers By supplying scabs to break
strikes. Although few Of these private en-
ployment offices maintain high standard of
technical efficiency, the majority are run by
persons without special training. All of them
charge high fees, which in many instances
amount to as much as an entire months salary.
The average fee charged for all jobs by the
private employment offices in California in
1928 was 1898, and for clerical and commercial
jobs the average fee was 1871. In computing
these averages all jobs were included whether
they lasted one day or less.
Petty graft and exorbitant fees, fee splitting
and Misrepresentation of conditions of employ
nent, refusal to return fees when jobs were not
supplied, catering to commercialized vice by
sending girls to places of i'll repute--these are
some Of the facts brought out in official probes
Of private employment agencies for the past

The past history of the Negroes
in Richmond has convinced some peo-
Gle that is practically impossible for
the people here to cooperate. CO.
operation is relative and any rational
discussion of it must necessarily be
along such lines. When cooperation
is generally mentioned around these
parts, the speaker has in mind 100
per cent cooperation in eliminating
the racial barriers that seem to mark
the Negro as distinct from other
races. Such cooperation seems to be
the dream of nearly every Negro.
This cooperation is barely possible
in any group, but there is coopera-
ton, which when functioning healthl-
" will serve to better our social,
civil and economic status and IN pro-
portion as these are bettered we be-
gin to enjoy life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
1t is fallacious to suppose that the
white people of Richmond cooperate
to the desired extent. Note the her
culean efforts put forth by Richmond
white papers and leaders to accom-
plish civic detectives. While this ar
gument does not justify the Negroes
lack of cooperation, it will at least
show that we are no exceptions to
the rule when it comes to natural
tendency to cooperate. Cooperation
is brought about by powers suffi-
GENTLY strong to organize and pro-
mote it.
Then it follows that when Rich

INTERRACIALLY SPEAKING
Current Comment on Matters of
Mutual Interest
By r. B. Eleazer

The cheerful proverb that "every
cloud has it's silver lining" isn't al
ways true, of course, but in most
cases it is. In that of the "Black
Shirts" for example,-certainly
lowering cloud on the interracial
horizon, lashed into fury by the
winds of imprisoned oratory and the
forked ightnings of prejudice. 1t
looked pretty bad for time-and it
did have dire possibilities, without
doubt.
But now turn the cloud around
and take look at the lining and you
will see that the substantial elements
in every community were united and
active in opposition to the movement.
The newspapers laughed and secuted
it; preachers denounced it from the
pulpit; officials refused it the use of
streets and public buildings; civic
and business organizations opposed
it; employers of labor frankly defied
it.
With all its promises the organiza-
ton did not succeed in turning sim
gle Negro out of his job here in At
lanta, so far as we have been able to
learn. Now the movement appears to
be in a hopeless decline, though some
of its leaders are still trying to gal
vanize it into life. They may again
succeed for a time and raise another
cloud; but that too, we hope and be-
lieve, will have its silver lining, and
will ultimately disappear before
growing sense of interracial friend
ship and fair play.

WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION
From the Columbia, (S.C.) Rec

From the Columbia, (S.C.) Rec
ord, Sept. %, 1990)
1t is to be hoped that much good
will come from the study of lynching
which is to be given by Southern
leaders, whites, and Negroes. Their
conclusions may help matters, a re-
suit devoutly wished by every good
man of both races.
One matter worthy of considera-
ton is the activities of the National
Society for the Advancement of Col
ored People, such for instance as the
defeat of Judge Parker.
A few political demagogues have
proclaimed this on the stump, as in
citing race feeling, but the majority
of sober thinkink whites have not be-
lieved that the rantings of these de-
magogues had any other basis than
self advertisement. However, the re-
cent distressing and humiliating out
bursts of lynchings in the South give
color to this assertion by few poll
ticians. 1t is worthwhile for such
consideration to be given. The Socie-
ty for the Advancement of Colored
People will welcome such investiga-
ton, doubtless, for it is sincerely an
xious to advance the cause for which
it was founded, and should welcome
advice as to best methods.

A FEDERAL ANTI-LYNCHING
LAW

(From the Asheville (NC.) Citizen)
As was to have been expected, the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People has re-
opened it's campaign for the enact
ment of a Federal anti-lynching law.
This organization, best known in this
part of the country for its activities
in connection with the defeat of
Judge Parker for the United States
Supreme Court, has been pushing
the Dyer bill for years. 1t is endeav-
oring now to commit all candidates
for the House and Senate to support
of similar measure.
The opening gun of its present
battle is a statement from President
Hoover, given to the association I'M
der date of August 18th. every
decent citizen must condemn the
lynching evil as an undermining of
the very essence of both justice and
democracy" the President is quoted
as saying. No one can quarrel with
that. 1t is absolutely and literally
true. Mr.. Hoover does not, it will be
noted, commit himself to support of
a Federal anti-lynching law; but the
Republican platform of 1928 did
promise the early enactment Of
law "to exterminate the hideous
crime of lynching."
With eighteen lynchings already
in 1930-twice as many as in the
whole of 1929-it is not surprising
that the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
should have seized the present oppor-
tunity to make the enactment of
Federal anti-lynching law a political
issue if possible. The Dyer bill pass
ed the House several years ago by
2-to-1 vote and was then put to sleep
in the Senate. We do not believe that
such legislation is the way to put an
end to lynchings. There is serious
possibility, we think, that it might,
for a time at least, increase the num-
Der of lynchings. But the imminent
possibility of the enactment of q
Federal anti-lynching law must be
taken into account.
