in the address of DR.. Joseph B.
Matthews, secretary of the Fellow
ship of Reconciliation, which was
given to the Wilmington Open Door
Forum in the Howard high school on
Sunday, January 19. DR.. Matthews
was introduced by Louis L. Redding,
negro attorney of Wilmington. DR..
Matthews spoke on the topic Con
fict or Cooperation" in which he
criticized the manual of citizenship
issued at Citizens Training Camp,
distorting the meaning of the state

ing the Monroe Doctrine, withdraw

closely the usual communist dia-
tribes against so-called American
imperialism.

strange that it accepted $5,4OO from

elimination" In other words, it
carries on the communist program
among Negroes, melting them to vio-
lence. The communist pronounce
ment, mentioned above, throws light
on the A. N. L. c. when it states:
"The Negro masses will play an i'm
portant historic revolutionary role
in this period. It is necessary to
link up the struggle for social, ra-
cial and political equality of all Ne
groes with the struggle against
American imperialism" The Nation
al Association for the Advancement
of Colored People is not so far dis
tant from the A. N. L. c.
William q. Foster, head (osensi-
bly) of the Workers (Communist)
Party, the American Section of the
Communist (Third) International, is
secretary of the Trades Union
League (TUUL), a local of which is
being organized in Wilmington to
disrupt all industry when the time
is ripe. The TUUL is a successor to
the TUEL (Trade Union Educational
League), and is the American Sec
tion of the Red International of La
Dor Unions of Moscow from which it
receives it's orders. 1t is divided
into fourteen industrial sections, as
follows: Mining, textile, shoe, metal,
agriculture, rubber, food, transpor-
tation, needle trades, marine, con-
struction, lumber, oil and printing.
This means that this revolutionary
organization aims to install nuclei
in each of these industries through
out the United States. The local
branch has it's orders to take care
of Delaware. The Communist pre-
nouncement provides that "all dis
tricts must survey the strategic
points in their territory, as for ex-
ample, the munitions, ports, railway
centers, ship building, aeroplane
building, chemical works,
Do not confuse the American Fed
Grafton of Labor with the 'red" la
bor movements. There is no con-
nection. The A. F. of L. has always
stood for Americanism, although So
cialism and communism have en-
gagged in a bitter and relentless war
to gain control of the Federation.
The above are just few of the
available data on the destructive
forces of socialism and communism
which are now gathering in Will
mington. Wherever communist
forces gather is violence and blood
shed sooner or later. Delaware cit
liens will do well to keep their eyes
open.
In connection with non-commun-

the Gerland Communist Fund, that,
at a conference Of the Fellowship of
Reconciliation at Haverford near
Philadelphia, it contributed $50 to
the defense fund of the Gastonia
murderers on the appeal of Jeanette
Pearl, an active communist? The
Fellowship of Reconciliation is an
international organization. At a
conference of the International Fell
lowship of Reconciliation held at
Lyons, France, August 2 to 9, 1929,
the following recommendation
among others, were made to fellow
ship members: Joining political
movements which aim at the re-
placement of private capitalism by
a system of collective ownership
which would not, like capitalism,
create class divisions" These are
plainly tenets of communism which
menaces the United States with
bloody revolution. 1t definitely sup

line of defense. For people realize
the true importance of the I. L. d.
as an important cog in the COM
munist machine. The 1. L. D. is the
third line of defense, and becomes
operative when violence is started
by the reds" which has always
been the case wherever these de-
structiive forces have been permitted
to gain a foothold. The 1. L. d. sup
plies legal defense and bail; it sup
plies tons of propaganda and collects
funds for this phase of the struggle.
This organization has injected itself
into nearly every communist out
break of riot and violence, including
the Sacco-Vanzetti affair, the Pas
sale strike, and the more recent Cas-
tonia trial revolution" Up to De-
cember "a, 1929, it is estimated that
the membership of the I. L. d.
amounted to about 57,460. 1t COM
prises the American section of the
Defense Section of the Communist
International known as Internation-
al Red Aid, or MOPR. The secretary
of the I. L. D. local in Wilmington
is a negro, and his name is John A.
Griffin.
The Young Communist League,
known as the Y. G. L., is probably
better known to us than the 1. L. D.
It is closely linked with the Young
Workers League and the Pioneers,
all of which are designed to work
among the youth of the nation. An
official announcement of the Cen
tral Executive Committee of the
Communist PARTY" of the United
States, which receives it's instruc-
tions directly from Moscow, appeared
in the Daily Worker on August 1
and 2, 1929. This pronouncement
throws some light on what Delaware
may expect in connection with the
publicly proclaimed policy of the
"reds" in the United States-that of
armed insurrection. 1t instructs the
Y. C. L. to be Especially active
throughout the South in getting
young people into it's organizations,
working especially in military or
ganizations &c. M. T. c., etc.,. The
Young Workers League must rein
force it's work of combating mill
tary training in the various military
schools, training camps, etc., by
sending forces into these camps and
schools to carry on propaganda.
The pioneers must intensity
their activities against the Boy
Scouts, ETC." The pronouncement
also provides that the Y. G. L. must
create communist nuclei in the
armed forces of the nation, fight
against recruiting, etc.
The American Negro Labor Con-
gress "a. N. L. c. advocates work
ing-class idealogy Of race, hatred
and white superiority; it works for

equality, and desires the abolition of
