LIE ON WORLD
UNEMPLOYMENT
Fakers Forced to Ad-
nit Soviets Go Upward

z GENEVA, July 25-At time
when unemployment is on a sharp
upward swing in all countries of the
world, the "labor" lieutenants of
the imperialist League of Nations
issue the lying statement that there
are only 6,298,000 jobless in 26 coun-
tries. The United States, China,
India and Japan are not included
for very obvious reasons.
A mere glance over the facts i'm
mediately stamps these figures as
false. In Great Britain there are
admittedly 100000 jobless; in Ger
many, 5,000,000; in Italy, the fascist
government accounts for over 500,-
900; in Poland there are over 500,-
000--in fact, a conservative esti-
mate in European countries shows
at least 100000 jobless.
At the same time, these takers
are forced to admit that in the
Soviet Union alone is unemployment
dropping. They say that 100000
workers were placed on jobs in the
U.S.SR. between May of 1929 and
February, 1930--during the period
when In every capitalist nation mil
lions were being thrown onto the
streets to starve.
There has been a consistant cam
paign of Justification of world un-
employment figures, beginning with
the U. S. department of commerce.

FASCISM ADDS TO
QUAKE DISASTER
Relief Is Cover for
Fascist Agitation

ROME, July 25.-Amid the death
and desolation of the severe earth
quake in Southern Italy, which cost
the lives of from 1000 to 1900
workers and peasants, fascism is
showing its ugly head. While thou
sands are injured, homeless and
suffering, Mussolini and the pope
prepare to make political capital
out of the misery of thousands.
Mussolini rejected all offers of
foreign aid in order to maintain the
prestige of the Italian imperialists.
He would rather have thousands of
workers and peasants die and starve
than admit any weakening of the
fascist regime under any circum-
stances.
All trucks sent to the stricken
areas bear fascist flags, and stories
of discrimination are already arriv-
ing. Mussolini gives aid only to his
supporters. The Red Cross of Italy,
which is based on the same lines as
the American Red Cross, discrimi-
mating against strikers. Negroes
and workers generally, is on the
job to fatten and gain glory for
Mussolini amid the ruins of the
catastrophe that has brought added
misery to the already impoverished
peasants and workers.
The class conscious workers of
the world have the deepest SYM
pathy for the victims of the earth
quake who suffer doubly-under the
oppression of the fascists. They
know that the capitalist exploiters
in Italy, as in all other countries
will make fortunes supplying "re-
lief" They will never forget the
hypocritical acts of the American
Red Cross at the time of the Volga
draught which sought to use the
misery of the Volga famine as ar
avenue of propaganda. Mussolini's
"relief" is but another vast network
of fascist propaganda End an at.

workers and sympathizers in the
demand for work or Wages" were
arrested.
On August &c Foster, Minor,
Amter and Raymond will have been
five months behind prison walls
with only fake trial and denied
bail during appeal.
The whole rotten affair is a de-
lay-tactic of the corrupt political
ring of New York City, the police
and the bosses court. The case also
has been provided with a sympa-
thetic background by the hidden
gesture of Federal approval as
crystalized in the Fish "Investiga-
ton" conference, a bosses bureau
which has been set up to outlaw
Communism and to sanctify the
black Jack legions of capitalism, the
police, in their brutal attacks upon
workers.
Passing the buck, and fulfilling
the bosses order to delay the date
of hearing, the magistrate in
genial tone announced that he
wished the defendants to be heard
by some other judge because
(among other reasons) Norman.
Thomas so severely criticized me
during the recent cafeteria strike
that 1 do not believe / should be the
Judge that should hear you."
Such a postponment amounts to
arbitrarily prolonging the prison
term of our fighting comrades for
another month-without even CIV
ing them trial! For trial on the as
sault case would have to be before
jury and would show what farce
was the trial on which they are
serving time.
Attorney Brodsky of the Inter
national Labor Defense answered
the belly-crawling words which the
Judge used when he passed the buck.
Brodsky said: "The bitterest criti-
cism which this court shall receive
will not come from Norman
Thomas, his corrupt socialist party,
and the like, but from the workers
under the leadership of the Com
munist Party" He demanded that
these defendants be heard, saying
that for the most trivial reasons
the hearing of Minor, Foster,
Amter, Raymond and Lesion, has
been purposely postponed in order
to keep them in Jail.
Brodsky pleaded for a special
hearing for Lesion, who is sea-
faring man, and has been out on
bail, showing that by being kept
waiting trial he is being kept from
making a living. This was also
denied.
