Negro Church Refuses
Building For Anti
Lynching M e e tin g

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Sept. g.
An anti-lynching protest meeting
called by the American Negro Labor
Congress at the Mt. Olive Baptist
Church Negro in this city had to
be held in the street when at the
last minute the preacher refused
the use of his church to Negro and
white workers to protest the brutal
crime of lynching.
The meeting was held directly in
front of the church with speakers
denouncing the preacher for his
I cowardly, treacherous attitude. The
police and the American Legion get
ting word that there was an anti
lynching protest meeting soon ap.
peared and attempted to terrorize
the workers. This failing they pro-
'ceeded to yank the speakers from
the stand. The organizers of the
meeting then invited the workers to
the Labor Lyceum, fifteen minutes
walk from the church. Fully half
of the crowd, of one thousand, fol-
lowed the speakers to Labor Lyce-
UNI where they heard Herbert New
ton, national organizer of the A. N.
l.. c., who had just arrived from
New York.

Soviet Workers Hit
Race Prejudice of

MOSCOW, Aug. 1S.-The inquiry
instituted against the citizens of
the United States, Lewes, Divine
and others, employed in the tractor
works, for the brutal ill-treatment
of the Negro worker Robinson, is
now ended. 1t has been proved that
the disgraceful maltreatment and
persecution of the Negro Robinson
an excellent qualified worker, is the
direct result of the "Race hate
reared in the native country of the
"Civilized American" Another
charge, that of attacking some
women workers of the tractor
works, is being brought against
Lewes and Divine. The trial will
take place on the 10Th of August
in the club of the tractor works.
This occurrence in Stalingrad has
aroused the indignation of the
whole public of the Soviet Union
Protest resolutions are being passed
in works and factories everywhere
against the conduct of these Amer.
lean workers. The Central Com
mittee of the Metal Workers Unior
has ascertained that no cultural OF
enlightening work is being done
among the hundreds of American
workers employed in the Stalingrac
Tractor Works. 1t further point,

The resolutions show that the

NEHRU States
SELLOUT TERMS
Bargain Goes Now to
Gandhi Himself

NEW YORK.-Censored capital
ist press services from India con-
tinue to report the progress, step
by step, of the betrayal of the anti
imperialist movement by Gandhi
leaders. Yesterday the emissaries
of the British imperialist govern
ment, Sir Tel Behadur Sapru and
M. Jayakar, interviewed Motilal
Nehru and Jawaharlal Nehru in
Naini Jail, and received from them a
note to be conveyed to Gandhi,
who is in the Poona fortress, under
going very light and polite form
of imprisonment" The contents
of the note are not published Off
cially, but unofficially it is under
stood that they embody merely
some details on the terms of sur
render, in so far as the Gandhi
gang is capable of making it, of
the anti-imperialist movement.
Argue Over Details.
The newspaper, Pioneer, states
significantly: "The key to the set
Element of India's strife is in the
hands of Jawaharlal Nehru and if
he can be won over the additional
negotiations with Gandhi should be
comparatively easy"
Reading between the lines, opin-
ion here is that the whole Gandhi
crowd, which has all along mis-
lead the workers and peasants to
the best Of its ability, into a form
of resistance" which is officially
called non-resistance", and which is
harmless to the British imperial
lists, will now, in return for vague
promises and some real brides in
the way Of office, etc, call on the
Indian masses to submit to British
rule. Apparently the decision in its
main lines is agreed upon, and only
the formula is being argued among
the Gandhi leaders.
The Indian masses have recently
begun to show great resistance to
the Gandhi treacheries, and their
open sell out is expected to be fol-
lowed by abandoning of the doc
trines of non-violence by many of
those mislead hitherto by Gandhi,
and beginning of real organization
for revolt.

The following manifesto, ad-
dressed to the sailors of the Bra
lillian fleet and the ranks of the
army, was published recently in
"The Working Glass;" the official
organ of the Communist Party of
Brazil:
Sailors! Soldiers! Comrades!
"The dominant feudal bourgeoisie
and its policy have demonstrated
once more what is the real role of
the army and fleet in the present
regime.
"Scores and scores of sailors have
been discharged and denoted lately
from the fleet.
"Why? For the Crime of SYM
pathizing with the Communist Par
ty and for having demonstrated it;
for sympathizing with the only
Party that fights for the workers
and peasants, their class brothers,
because the majority of sailors, like
the soldiers, are workers and
peasants.
"That which the ruling classes
want, in order to maintain their
rule and the rule of their imperial
list masters, is that the sailors and
the soldiers, under the pretext of
Serving the fatherland,' shall be
blindly at their service in the fight
against the exploited and oppressed
against their own class brothers.

the recently discharged sailors-all
those who are workers and peas

talist corruption never before heard
from leader of British trade
unions.
Beard called socialism "a dream"
and ridiculed the idea of Socialism
in our time" the slogan of the So
cial fascist cleft" "There is no
present substitute for capitalism"
he declared amid an uproar of pro-
test, going on to say that if capt.
talism were overthrown it would
mean tremendous dislocation of the
social and economic life of the ma
ton"
In this he showed the openly fas-
cist policy of the "labor" party,
which calls the starvation of mil
lions among the direst poverty
"order," and objects to revolution
on the ground that it upsets the
economic life of "the nation"-the
"nation" being the comfortable life
of the capitalist class.
AS proof that the "labor" party
thinks only of the interests of the
capitalist class, Beard said that the
fact that there are 100000 star
wing unemployed in England did
mot appall" him. What appalled,
this labor" party spokesman was
that some British workers actually
want socialism and stand for tax
ing the means of production away
from the capitalists.
Left" Takers Oppose Revolution.
The argument he used against the
fake cleft" was we'll chosen, since
these takers talk about socializa-
ton, but object viciously to the only
way it can be done, by revolution.
So his thrust at the cleft" that any
putting of an end to capitalism
would "dislocate the economic life
of the nation" was a good argu-
ment against them, though it may
not brighten the ever-growing num-
Der of British workers who follow

Some of the cleft" protested that
Boards speech was "a disgrace"
But they do nothing but "glib talk"
as he we'll reminded them.
That Beard is enough worried
that others besides the cleft" have
program for more than glib
talk" was shown by his unconscious
admission that "these are times Of
tense DANGER" he saying that Gin
these times of tense danger l stand
by the captain, James Ramsay Mac
Donald" So there is danger" to
capitalism, and Macdonald and the
"labor" party are to save capital
ism.
Clearly, Waldeman, the American
Socialist" is in hearty agreement
with this program of the British
labor" party and wants it repeated
here. The "labor' party's chief
business recently was the attempt
at forcing 100000 textile workers
to accept wage-cut. The workers
are, in some mills at least, still
fighting against it, led by the Com
munist Party.
American workers can see from
this that Waldeman and the Amer
lean socialist" party are disguised
capitalist supporters. All workers
who know their interests will vote
