IMPERIALISTS AND NEGRO
"GOLD STAR" MOTHERS

Even in its campaign to whoop up the war
spirit in preparation for the next mperialist
slaughter United States imperialism does not
forget the Importance of the theology OF Ne.
gro inferiority and race hatred in dividing the
working class and isolating the Negro masses.
And in this campaign of insult and de-
graduation the Negro petty bourgeoisle are
giving their full support, as witness their
participation in the plans at City Hall Satur-
day. The first isroup of Negro Gold
Star mothers sailed Saturday July II. They
sailed on Jim Crow trip. At City Hall, they
were given a Jim Grow reception. The fas-
cist American Legion, which, with the Ku
Klux Khan, lays down lynch law for the south
ern Negro masses, participated in the recep.
ton The United States marines, notorious
throughout the Caribbean as the murderers
of countless Haitian and Latin American
workers, also took part in the reception. And,
cooperating, as usual, with the oppressors
and murderers of the Negro masses was the
ever ready betrayers of these masses, the Ne
gro petty bourgeosie: the professional and
business classes within the race Alderman
Fred r. Moore presented the Jim Crowed
mothers to Mayor Walker, the chauvinist who
tried to introduce American Jim Crowism into
Europe. Clifford Hawkins, another of the
treacherous Negro petty bourgeoisie, was on
Davis, highest ranking Negro officer in the
Jim Crow United States Army, was selected
by the imperialists to give face" to the pro-
ceedings. The enemies and oppressorS of the
Negro masses turned out with a mask Of
"frendlness" in the effort to put over as
smoothly as possible the segregation policy
of an imperialist government And the treach-
erous Negro petty bourgeoisie were on hand
in their traditional role of defenders and
apologsts of the very system under which
Negroes are oppressed, segregated and muir
dered.
The Negro masses must answer this insult
to the mothers of victims of the last imper-
ialist war with determined struggle for full
political, economic and social equality and for
the right of self-determination as the logical
continuation and highest expression of the
struggle for equality. They must unequvo-
cally demand the right to have their own gov
eminent in those sections of the country
where, as is the case in many parts of the
South, we constitute the majority of the popu.
lation. Together with the white workers, we
must intensity the struggle against lynching,
against unemployment and hunger, against
wage cuts and inhuman speed-up, against the
entire imperalst system of robbery and ex-
plotation, and for the liberation of the colon
States of Workers and Farmers Govern
ment, which will abolish lynching race preju-
dice and hatred and the entire theology which
imperialism finds necessary for its existence.

,ssERrPTrON RATES:
BY CYRIL BRIGGS.

THE brazen action of the U. S. war depart
ment and a half dozen steamship COM
panies in Jim Growing the very gold star"
Negro mothers whom it was trying to use to
make propaganda for war is a lesson to
every worker, Negro or white, who may be
enticed into the next war trap. These were
women who had given at least one son or
husband to the Flanders fields, to die raising
a good crop of dollars for American imper-
ialist capitalism. They were barred from the
ships the white mothers were sent on, they
were offered cheaper, slower, ships, and worse
accommodations abroad. Credit is due them
that they rebelled.
Imperialism seeks to justify its crimes
against the Negro masses by promoting the
idea that Negroes are an inferior race, that
they are incapable of progress and, of course.
incapable of self-government, that they are
not as sensitive to insults and oppression as
the white races etc.
This mperast theology is used to foster
white chauvinism among the white workers,
to Justify the specially brutal exploitation Of
the Negro masses and by melting the white
workers to contempt and hatred of the non
white peoples to prevent interna@onal work
ing class solidarity and secure recruits from
the working class for the armed forces of
Imperialism and for its fascist organizations
gion, the Veterans Of Foreign Wars, etc. The
imperialist theology of race inferiority. race
hatred and racial separation is one of the
main props of the imperialist system of plum
der and oppression Without this theology it
would be impossible to get white workers for
murder expeditions to Haiti, the Virgin Is
lands, the Philippines. etc, or response to the
lynching Indictment of the southern bosses
SO important is this theology to the imper-
ialist system that we find the entire ma
chinery of United States Imperialism which
in addition to the subject populations in its
colonies and semi-colonies, has within the
home territory an oppressed minority nation
atty of over 100000 people, utilized for
the injection into the minds of the white work
ers of the virus of race prejudice and hatred
Jim-Crowing Negro Mothers.
We find in the South the unwritten but
strictly observed jim Crow laws, laws pro-
hibiting Negroes to eat in the same restaur-
ants, travel in the same trains, or attend the
same theatres or churches as the whites. This
division is to be found in every step of social
life and is enforced by a systematic white ter
whole life and thought of the South.
1t is to maintain this imperaist theology
that the imperialist government of the United
States has deliberately cast the slur of infer
iority on Negroes and goes out of its way to
insult and degrade the Negro Gold Star Moth
ers by segregating them on their trip to visit
the graves of the sons who were betrayed into
fighting for imperialism and against their own
class and race interests in the last imperaist
war.
