NEGRO AND WHITE.
YOUTH CONFER TO.
FIGHT LYNCHINGS.
Take Up Special Tasks
Of Young Workers

ST. LOUIS, Nov. ia youth con-
ference attended by IA delegates was
held Saturday night in connection
with the anti-lynching convention
in this city of the American Negro
Labor Congress, whose name was
changed by the convention to the
League of Struggle for Equal Rights.
About the same proportion of white
and Negro workers as represented at
the convention was present at the
Youth Conference with six white and
eight young Negro workers. Eleven
other young worker delegates did not
arrive in time for the youth confer
ence. Those present came from Ala
bama, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan,
Ne WORK, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois
and Pennsylvania.
The delegates discussed on the
basis of their personal experiences in
the field the task of building the
Young Liberators and the anti-lynch-
ing conferences. A report was made
ON the youth work of the American
Negro Labor Congress and a resolu-
ton adopted for presentation to the
convention.
The necessity OF taking on lighter
activities for the Young Liberators,
such as sport clubs, bands and social
activities, and the building of self
defense groups, the building of a
mass circulation for the Liberator
was stressed by all of the speakers.
The delegates reported that there
were groups of the Young Liberators
i'll Maryland. Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri, New York, with
possibility of early organization in
the South.
Five youth members are on the Ma
tional Committee of the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights and one
on its Council of Directors.

Stands Facts Upside
Down to Lie About
Soviet Union
By HARRISON GEORGE.

American workers must marvel at
the persistence with which the capt.
talist press lies about the conditions
of the workers of the Soviet Union.
For exactly thirteen years most of
the American capitalist papers have
stoutly asserted that every Russian
worker was starving to death. Yet
they still live!
That one, single fact, should be
disconcerting to liars such as, for ex-
ample, the N. Y. Post, which is run
ming a series of "a anti-Soviet ar
ticles on The Red Trade Menace"
But the Post, and its writer, H. r.
Knickerbocker, are hardened liars.
For example, while Knickerbocker
was in the Soviet Union many months
ago, he is now in the United States.
But every story published in the N.
Y. Post bears current date line, as
did the one yesterday-"MOSCOW,
Nov. 49,"
This gives the impression to the
reader that what is told is of con-
ditions in Moscow today. Even all
that is said is distorted, and much is
plain lying, but even if all were true
months ago, there is no reason to as
sert that it is true today, as Soviet
organization makes rapid changes

Hoover Gang Starts Actual
Embargo on Soviet Products
Department of Agriculture Ruling Refusing to
Accept Import Affidavits on Sausage Castings
Is Precedent; Use Hoover Fault as Excuse

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 49,
President Hoover through secretary
OF Agriculture Hyde has struck open
ly at Soviet trade with the United
States, such actions ordinarily are
preparation for worse. This direct
blow is at imports of sausage castings,
which for years have formed one of
the big items in the total of imports
into this country from the Soviet
Union. An order has been issued that
after Dec. Is no certificat of health
full condition, attached to such ship
ments by the meat inspection depart
ment of the Soviet government, shall
be accepted by the American inspec-
ton officers. The Meat Inspection
Bureau of the Department of Agri-
culture explains that this means that
henceforth each cask of castings will
be opened, and it's contents will be
chemically fumigated before it is adj
mitted to the American market.
Denying that thi5 will constitute an
embargo, the Bureau chiefs admit
that it will add to the landed lost of
the Russian product, and hence will
reduce its competitive chance in
America.
No Complaint
For a year and half, past, the
Bureau discloses, certificates of in
spection from the Russian Soviet in
specific nauthorities of any Soviet
shipment of sausage castings has been
filed with the Bureau. But an order
has been received from Secretary
Hyde that the certificate must not
be honored after Dec 15--a date far
enough distant to give importers
warning to make no more shipments
unless they wish to bear the cost of
fumigation at New York.
The sole explanation of this anti
Soviet trade move is that the Hoover
administration has decided that So
Wet inspection certificates ARE not
officially known" to be based on ac-
tual inspection. Such official ignor-
ance is declared because the United
states government refuses to rec
ognize the u. S. S. r. and so has no
oficial representatives within the So
Wet borders.

trade will be serious, in cutting down

Senator Reed stated that the Treas

the plans for public building boasted
about by Hoover wouldn't go on at
all.
At-the sane time, plans are being
made to decrease the taos of the big

they mobilize, together with the en-
ployed workers, and demand unen-

you must read the news about the
100000 unemployed workers and

of capitalist America!
Yet while this sorrowful tale of
shortages" is given in the N. Y. Post,
the Moscow correspondent of the N.
Y. Times, who at least is actually in
Moscow, publishes a cable dispatch
in that paper of Tuesday, saying:
Foreigners often ask: Why, if
Soviet production is as superior to
pre-war conditions as is claimed is
there shortage everyWhere?' The an
sWer is threefold. First. the demand
has increased enormously. The pea
SAINTS and workers today have stand

tenths of them would never have

the demand has ben scattered over
the country instead of being relatively
concentrated III industrial centers,
with consequent delays and Difficult
ties in distribution. Third, there are
exports"
Workers, consider we'll what the
first reason means: Russian workers
and peasants are demanding "enor-
mously'' more goods than ever be-
fore, because they have been getting
increased wages and income.
Facts show that workers wages in
the Soviet Union have been raised
from six to ten per cent every year.

The Seville general strike shows
that the mass discomfort is wide

the amount of Soviet sales in this
country and thereby reducing Soviet
orders for American machinery and
farming implements, the precedent
set is more important still. For if

which manganese, lumber, coal and
other exports are produced-affidavits

pecially would be rejected in the

In his report on the local auto
mobile parking situation which
he will present at the executive
meeting of the automobile park
ing committee of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission late today. DR.. Miller Nc
Clintock, of Harvard University,
will discuss the problem of pro-
viding space for the automobiles
of Government employees while
they are at work.
DR.. McCllntock has made an
extensive study of the traffic
situation in Washington for some
time. In his report, it was said,
he will show that more auto
mobiles and busses enter the busi-
ness section here in a day than
in the business section of Boston,
which is much larger than Wash
ington.
While the report is being kept
secret it was said DR.. McClin-
took will recommend that park
ing space for the automobiles Of
government employees be provided
in the new buildings or that
ground near the buildings be re-
served for them. His report is
declared to. contain the informa,
ton that the overtime parking
problem here is relatively small.
but that all-day parking should
be abandoned and that as in
New York, fines of about SO
should be placed on offenders.
DR.. McClintock'S report. it was
said, blames owners and employees
of establishments in the down
town area for the fact that
customers complain they cannot
park near the stores. He said in
many cases he found that the
owners and employers themselves
block the entrances by parking
their cars there and letting them
remain all day.
