FL, Youth Delegates Will Visit the
Soviet Union

Five Of the twenty-five workers to visit the
Soviet Union on the occasion of the celebration
OF the fourteenth anniversary of the Russian
revolution November will be young workers.
These five young workers will be elected to the
Friends of the Soviet Union delegation by the
mass popular vote of the members of the rev.
dictionary trade unions and the rank and file
Of the A F. of l.. unions
Special preference will be given in these cleo
tons to these young workers who are occupied
in war industries
The youth delegates will spend several weeks
touring the Soviet Union. During their stay
they will make thorough investigation Of the
working and living conditions Of the Soviet
youth. Upon their return they will travel
throughout the United States on an extended
speaking tour in order to spread far and wide
the wonderful achievements of the young work
ers and farmers Of the workers fatherland.
This is the first time that youth delegation
has ever gone to the Soviet Union from this
country with the exception of the visit made by
Bob Turner who went over as member of the
May First delegation
1t marks real step forward in cementing
ever more tightly the revolutionary solidarity
OF the young workers of America with the young
workers Of the Soviet Union.

CHICAGO Aug. 31.-At the Washington Park
Forum, where several thousand Negro and white
workers gather nightly to discuss their prob
lens and listen to the speakers of the revolu-
ticnary organizations local Negro nisleaders are
attempting to capitalize on these educational
meetings for their own political advantage
Because our speakers are constantly exposing
the Negro republican bosses who are the polit-
ical enemies of the Negro democrats the latter
figure they can exploit our meetings for the
purpose of themselves succeeding the Negro re-
publcans in power over the masses. They make
the mistake of thinking that the Negro workers
are not wise to them.
Negro workers have long ago realized that
Negro democratic boss can do no more for the
workers than a Negro republican boss. They
are both tools of the white ruling class and must
take their orders from their masters The prob
lens and fight against starvation, unemploy-
ment, vage-cuts, evictions and the police terror,
cannot be solved by simply changing from one
set of boss tools to another, nor from one party
of the bosses to another Republican or SOCIALISM,
party of the bosses Both the republican and
democratic parties and also the socialist party,
are the parties of capitalism and have nothing
to offer the workers except lies and starvation
and misery. The workers know that their con-
dition cannot be changed by switching from one
party OF misery 70 tle otner, lnaC cnange can
only come by changing the system. The Com
munist Party is the only Party that is fighting
to change the system
Negro and white workers! Don't be fooled by
these traitorous Negro democrats, allies of the
blccdy Southern white ruling class. Bryant
Hammond John Lewis, Major A E. Patterson
and other Negro democratic tools of the ruling
class. are no more interested in the workers than
are the Negro republican tools, like De Priest,
j. ckcon and Anderson.
Workers. Do not permit yourselves to be
fccled by these opportunists and traitors who
will continue to come TO us in the guise Of SYM
psih1z6rs and trends We must build our own

competition on the world market. While cap
italist agriculture has meant debasement of the
quality Of the crop it has meant an ever greater
debasement of the cropper and Of the small
farmer The record low prices for cotton mean
hunger now and desolate winter of starvation
and misery staring them in the face
1t is under such circumstances that the Farm
Board suggests blowing under one third Of the
crop for the benefit Of the SPECTATORS and
bankers now holding large part Of the crop
and at the expense of the great masses OF the
choppers and small farmers. While millions go
hungry, great stores of wheat rot. While mill
lions have not enough to clothe themselves, the
warehouses bulge with cotton and the govern
ment suggests the destruction of one-third Of
the present crop.
Increasing unemployment in the industries Of
the United States, increasing hunger for the
unemployed workers, increasing misery thru
evictions, disease and police oppression, and IN
creased wage cuts either directly or thru the
stagger plaintiffs is the perspective that the
capitalist press offers to the working masses in
the shops and in the mines and on the streets.
Losses on the crop sold, bankruptcy thru inabil-
ity to pay interest charges, and foreclosure thru
inability to pay taxes, increasing hunger for the
"tillers of the siol," disease for farm children,
ground down ever more by the bankers and the
capitalsts-this is the perspective the capital
ist press offers to the small farmers and the
choppers.
In its million ranks. the toiling masses Of the
United States must spread over the entire coun-
try, in every workers home, in every farmstead,
the perspectives of the working n'asses-the de-
termination and the will to struggle against hun
ger. The immediate perspective of the toiling
masses is to face the coming winter not DESC
late but with the food and clothing and shelter
the mighty pressure of the determined millions
The further perspective of the toiling masses
must be the sweeping out by the iron broom OF
the proletarian revolution Of the entire capital
list system, with its torments it's misery, its MUIR
ders. Organize and fight against hunger.

Why 100000 Died at Wuhah
By JOR0R

w @OOSOOO AI4NO 1G w A1knm
In the center of China 500 miles from the seA
there lie three cities, Wuchang; Hanyang and
Hankow the industrial Chicago of China, known
as the Wuhan District.
Recently the Yangtze River broke through the
bikes and now 100000 men, women and children
are reported dead in Wuhan with more than
that figure threatened by starvation and disease
as result of the flood leaving them homeless
and penniess.
About this, the Associated Press informs Ia
that:
President Chang Kai-shek. who reached
Hankow Friday after leaving his anti Connau<
mist campaign in Southern China to his aids
expressed himself as shocked" So
The very idea Of 100000 people being killed
and him not doing it! That we believe. is tbs
origin of his being Shocked Because If Chang.
the most inhuman of human butchers. had not
for his own personal enrichment and for mill
tary expenses to enforce his banditry-stoler
vast amounts of the national funds hitherto
used to keep the Yangtze bikes in repair the
100000 men, women and children would not
have died.
This is-quite by accident-reveaIed in N.
Y Times dispatch from Shanghai, telling how
still another 100000 men, women and children
we're drowned at Yangchow, not far from StanE-
hal In just few words it said: "the dikes,
The repair of the bikes is matter Of life and
which badly needed repair, quickly collapsed
death to millions in China, and the continual
wars of the militarists, tools of imperialism,
takes all the money-nostly in graft And since
American imperialism is the chief supporter of
Chang Kai-shek, who is allowed to steal every
thing loose SO long as he massacres revolutionary
workers and peasants, the deaths OF 100000
Chinese men, women and children last week is
really chargeable to Hoover, Stimson and their
masters in Wall Street

Huston Bank Account Trail
interests Probers Hunting
Anti-Smith Money Source

The Nye committees inquiry
into the $183,OO0 New York bank.
ing account which Claudius H.
Huston, afterwards Republican
national chairman, used during
the 1928 Presidential campaign
will be directed toward learning
II this fund came from the Golfers
Of the Republican National Com.
mittee.
Committee investigators will
trace the source of Huston's fund
through deposit slips subpoenaed
from the International Trust
Company Of New York.
The fund was discovered
through revelation Of a $4,000
donation by Huston to North
Carolina Democrats for use in de-
feating the Presidential aSpira-
tiOns Of Alfred E. Smith in that
State.
Cannon Link Sought
The committee also will seek
TO learn if Huston's account was
the missing third political fund,
mentioned by Bishop James Can
non, jr.. during the 1928 cam.
paign as necessary to defeat
Smith.
Only two anti-Smith Demo
cratic funds have been found to
hate-one in the Continental
Trust Company of Washington.
the other in the American Ma
Honal Bank of Richmond, Va.
Bishop Cannon expressed him
self early in that campaign as
believing three accounts were
necessary. He wrote the cashier
Of the Continental Trust Com
pany August 4, 1923:
ut is thought wise to keep
three separate accounts Of the
expenditures of our committee
TO defeat 'AP Smith, and
have decided to open one Of
these three accounts with the
Coz mental Trust Company"
Investigators thought the bishop
had abandoned this plan-until
HuSton's account was discovered,
through the $1,000 contribution
to North Carolina anti-Smith
Democrats.
Significant Circumstance
It was considered significant
that once Huston opened this &C
count in early october, the dona-
tionS to Bishop Cannon by E. c.
Jameson, New York capitalist,
