THE DEPORTATION PLANS
OF THE BOSSES

deportation of foreign born workers on mass
scale.
When the House of Representatives voted
the congressional investigation of Communist
activities, Fish demanded that every alien
Communist be deported
On July 2, the Fish Committee urged that
the immigration laws be amended to provide
for more workable and more stringent depor-
tation laws
Fish urged Congress to adopt alien regis
tration. He declared himself in favor of
speedy and permanent deportation of foreign
born Communists"
The New York Times July 23, 1930) states,
"There is no room in the U. S. for any Com
munsts or for any persons affiliated with the
Third International. If they do not like our
form of government, let them depart, or re-
turn to Russia"
The New York World says, "Aliens should
be registered and finger printed" July 10,
1930)
There are proposals that the citizen papers
of the naturalized foreign born workers should
be revoked for activities in the labor move
ment. Others propose that native born radi-
Gals be deported to a distant island i'll the
Pacific Ocean.
Grover Whalen, former commissioner of po-
lice, an accomplice in the forged "Soviet docu-
ments," who led the attack against the unem-
ployed on March 9th, also advocates for de-
porting radicals to an island.
Wants Wholesale Deportations.
J. A. Lyons, head of the Federal Bureau Of
Police Dept, stated, "If wholesale deporta-
tons occurred for one month, the bottom
would drop out of the Communist movement
of the U. s." from N. Y. Times, June 10. :.
The American Federation of Labor recon-
mended this year, registration of all aliens
as means of tightening the immigration
laws"
William Green, president of the A. F. of L.,
stated on January %, 1880, "The immigration
laws should be amended as to require the
registration of all immigrants and the issu-
ance of certificates to those legally in this
country so that when called upon, the Immi
grant show he is officially here, or be
depoil ed" Green proposed also that the Fish
Committee include on his plan the deportation
of al persons in this country who are not of
white blood Federated Press, May %, 1930.)
The socialist party, the social fascist enc
mics of the working class in words and to
some extent "do not favor" these proposals.
But in their actions, they are with the CAPT
talist government, with the fascist leaders of
the A. f. of L. In Reading, Pa, where the
city government is ii their hands, they pro-
hibited the CAMPAIGN of the International La
Dor Defense. to fight against the deportation
of foreign born workers and to defend the
political prisoners. In Milwaukee, they take
the place of the "Whaens." In strkebreaking
and anti-Sovet propaganda they are in the
forefront They agents for tho instrU-
nents of war, like the eague of Nations,
Kellogg BRAND Pact, etc, as well as any other
agencies of capitalist oppression
Unite and Fight Against Deportaton.
The Aswell Bill clearly states that the for
eign born workers, as well as the native born
workers will be forced, by decree of the
president, to serve in their murderous attack
against the British and other mperialisS pow
ers, to seize new markets, new territories for
exploitation of the workers.
Organize For Struggle.
A wide front strongly united, against the
united front of the bosses is necessary to
struggle against registration, finger-printing
and deportation of foreign born, against dis
elimination against any section of the work
ing class, for the release of the political d. s.
oncrs, among them, the unemployed delega-
ton.
Workers in shops, unions, ex-servicemens
organizations, fratelnal societies. mobilize for
the coming Conferences for the Protection of
the Foreign Born.
