j. of YOkinen This Sunday Noon
Great Political Significance Seen In Partys
Call for Mass Trial of Member Accused of
Chauvinism; Hathaway, Moore Wagon
knecht To Be Present

NEW YORK.-Negro and white
workers and their organizations
throughout the city have unanimous
" endorsed the Yokinen Trial to be
held this Sunday at Harlem Casino,
116th Street and LenoX Ave. Yokinen,
a member of the Communist Party,
is accused of one of the most serious
offenses against the working class:
the offense of white chauviniSm.
The trial will be prosecuted along
the lines of the Moscow mass trial of
the sabotagers and the trial of the
two white Americans who were eX-
PEELED from the Soviet Union for
trying to introduce the ways of bour-
geois America into the Soviet Union.
The two white Americans resenting
the presence of a Negro worker in
the mess hall of the Stalingrad Trac-
tor plant had attacked the Negro.
The trial will open at p. m. Com
rade Hathaway, a leading white
member of the Party, will act as
prosecutor, exposing the vicious char

rade. will act for the defense. Alfred
Wagenknecht will act as judge. The
audience will elect a jury, which will
bring in its verdict on the basis of
the evidence on hand.
In the meantime. several organiza-
tons have passed resolutions con-
demning in the strongest terms all
white chauvinistic tendencies and
calling for the most rigorous meas
ures in stamping out these tenden-
cieS. The Finnish Workers Club, of
which the accused comrade is a
member, adopted a resolution which
declares in part:
I'VE, the members of the Finnish
Workers Club of New York, having
discussed the race and national ques-
ton in connection with the case of
member of our club, Comrade
Yokinen, declare herewith once more,
that we stand unwaveringly for the
revolutionary struggle Of the workers
against white chauvinism and ma
tional prejudice, which stand we have
already taken by adopting the recent
joint resolution of the Finnish Buro
Of the CPUSA and also our own reso-
luton on that question.
THE sentiments on the race ques-
ton as expressed by Com. Yokinen,
which are -proletarian and abso-
Iutely harmful to the working class,
are such as have no room in any
revolutionary organization
The Alfred Levy Group of the
Bronx, affiliated with the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights, declare in
part in a resolution:
I'VE hail the calling of a mass
trial as an indication of the sincerity
Of the Communist Party in fighting
against national oppression and for
full equality for the Negro masses,

CONGRESS FACES MANY PROBLEMS
 DURING SESSION
Next to Hoover War Debt
 Plan in Importance
BY RAYMOND CHAPTER United Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Washington.-Disa na- val holidays, army and navy econ- omies and the world court com prise the matters to come before congress and bear directly or indi- rectly on foreign relations.
 Consideration of these questions, the Hoover war debt moratorium and the future policy toward debtor nations is expected to f1g- ure to some extent though the i'm mediate problem involved in this presumably will have been dis posed of at the first of the session by ratification of the debt holiday.
 Because of the administrations view that the world depression has caused prolongation of difhculties here, every question concerning foreign nations, their relative armaments, and their international relations are bound together in way that forecasts the most thor ough consideration since the League of Nations debate.
 Economic Recovery
 President Hoover has emphasized that the economic recovery In the states depends upon Europe's re- CONeEy. nat Ah AAC 'NS' rests to some extent upon reduc- ton of armament costs.
 As to disarmament, the general disarmament conference meets at Geneva in February. while con- gress Is in session. In accordance with custom discussion of ques- tions pending at the conference is likely to be restrained. though the general position which this government should take will be subject of debate.
 Closely linked with 1t Is the mat ter of a naval holiday. Senator William E. Borah has proposed a five-year naval holiday. Italian For eign Minister Grandi has proposed a general one-year's holiday, while among the many other projects British statesmen are anxious to abolish the battleship, but have not been able to win the United States to that step.
 This whole situation, however, combined with President Hoover's insistence upon economy. is cre- ating congressional sentiment for rigid scrutiny of all army and navy appropriation measures.
 World Court Adherence
 Since early in the Harding ad- ministration presidential messages have repeatedly urged the senate to ratify the protocol for adher- ence to the World court. Last win- ter the senate foreign relations committee voted to postpone action until the next session. In 1926 the senate voted to adhere with reserv- ations, but one of these reserva- tions forbade the court to entertain any request for an advisory opin- ion concerning the United States without the consent of this govern ment. This was not satisfactory to other nations. Elihu Root worked out substitute by which in even the League of Nations council in- sists upon an advisory opinion to which this government objects, the United States may withdraw from membership without any imputa- tion of unfriendliness.
 Whether this new formula will command the necessary two-thirds majority in the senate is uncer- tain though advocates of the court believe they retain enough votes to win.
