talism On August 1, under the leadership of
the Communist Parties, great mass demonstra-
lions of workers, white and black, men and
women in all countries of the world, and in
every city and industrial center of the United
States, will prove that workers are awake to
the capitalist war danger and are ready to fight
against imperialist war in defense of the Soviet
Union. Negro workers are beginning to realize
that only the Communist Party mobilizes the
working masses to fight for full political, econ
omic and social equality For the right of self
determination for the Negro masses in the
South--against imperialist war and for the de-
tense of the Soviet Union-the only country in
the world where there is no discrimination on

By GRACE HUTCHINS.

"IUE are set aside in separate group, Jim
" Crowed, segregated and insuted." So
wrote SIS of the Negro Gold Star Mothers whom
the war department was sending over to the
battlefields in France for a publicity stunt
planned as a part of preparations for another
imperialist war. Against these war prepara-
tons by capitalist nations, white and black
workers together will demonstrate on August 1.
Those Negro mothers, following the call of
the American Negro Labor Congress to resist
the governments discrimination against them,
cancelled their passage on the american Mer
chant" on which they were to have sailed to
visit the cemeteries. Their sons were killed in
France in a war of imperialist nations. The
great capitalist powers fooled many workers,
both white and colored, into believing they
were fighting war to end wars. But Negro
soldiers in the war were segregated in separate
companies and given the worst jobs as trench
diggers and as shock troops. Those Negro SOL
diers who came home safely found worse con-
ditions than before--lower wages, more lynch
ings, more discrimination against colored work.
erS.
Now the Negro mothers whose sons were
killed are segregated from the white mothers
and sent over smaller, cheaper, slower ships.
For every white mother who goes over the U.
S. imperialist government pays SITS for the
IouIu "Trip StedIHer ldrc, DuI lOr d Negro lnOIneT
only 500 for the round trip passage. White
mothers stay at the best hotels, but Negro
mothers are sent to the cheap Harlem Y. w.
C. A. or to cheap boarding houses.
Congress passed bill to allow war mothers
to visit the graves in France at the expense of
the government in government vessels
with military escort. The war department
was to spend for each mother S840, allowing
first-class accommodations. The white mothers
receive these first-class rooms and transporta-
ton, but the Negro mothers were to be segre-
gated in inferior places and inferior boats by
the same imperialist government for which
their sons fought. Workers, and especially
working women, must not be fooled again by

While it was suggested that 1t was not
dignified for an oflcer to give personal
attention to such details. 1 was not of
this opinion, and perhaps this differ

termination of my connection with the

some extent have brought the league
