These efforts to deceive the Negrf
masses as to the class source of lynch

Negro Rights, whose ringing mani
festo and decisions for militant strug

poor farmers against lynching, peon-
age, and other forms OF Negro oppres-
sion, have plainly thrown a scare into
the bosses. Nor is the scare decreased
by the many signs of Increasing work
ing-class solidarity of Negro and
white workers, as seen in their joint
participation in the growing strug
giles against unemployment and the
bosses starvation policy, against inn
perialist war preparations and attacks
en- the Soviet Union and the Chinese
SoEiets.
But the Negro workers will not be
deceived. They know their enemy,
and they are determined to prosecute
the struggles against that enemy with

for N.A.A.C.P.

NEW YORK. Pretending that the
lynching and oppression of the Ne
gro masses and the misery of the
working class arising out of mass IN
employment, Wage-cuts, speed-up, etc.
are all accidental and unfortunate in
cidents of capitalism and not the ma
ture and unacceptable result of the
CXploitive capitalist system, Senator
Wagner at a meeting in Harlem Sum
day afternoon painted a pretty but
utterly false picture of capitalism
funchoning unlike capitalism, volun-
tarily eliminating the barriers of ra-
cial discrimination which it so eff
fectively uses against the Negro and
foreign-born, and other fake promises
The meeting was called by the re-
formist National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, and
Wagner's line of lies was quite in line
with the record and wishy -washy pol
icy of that organization which is con-
tlolled by Negro and white apologists
