DEMAND MARTI'S
RIGHT OF ASYLUM
Defense of Worker Is
Fought

LOS ANGELES. Cal.-officers OF
the Panama Mail S. S, Venezuela, are
today accused by International Labor
Defense representatives of refusing
the demand of U. S. immigration
authorities for the return into their
custody OF Augustin Marti, prominent
Central American revolutionary lead
er, who had been held in San Pedro,
pending deportation until the sailing
OF the Venezuela on January 18th.
The International Labor Defense
claims that the immigration officers
at San Pedro had consented to waive
their dismissal of a writ OF habeas
corpus, and that when the immigra-
ton officer boarded the ship, an Of
ficer refused to give MART up, saying
Nov we've got him we're going to
take him back to San Salvador
Marti is a native of San Salvador,
prominent in the revolutionary move
ment for many years. Imprisoned
because of his activities in San Sal
vador, he went on hunger strike in
protest, continuing it until the
authorities believed he might die.
Fearing that such death would re-
suit in sympathetic demonstrations,
the San Salvador authorities departed
him from his native land. He was
refused admittance In Nicaragua and
in Mexico, and when he was landed
at San Pedro, U. S. immigration Of
ficers arrested him there.
The, International Labor Defense
has demanded for Marti the right OF
political asylum in this country. and
when the immigration authorities
who had previously delivered MART to
the Captain of the Venezuela at
tempted on writ of habeas corpus
to secure him back, this was refused.
He is now enroute, possibly to San
Salvador, or, according TO the Inter-
national Labor Defense, possibly to
Nicaragua, where be would be subject
to immediate execution sscause of his
revolutionary activity in vhat country.
Protests against U. 8. cooperation
with Central American fascism have
been made by the International La
Dor Defense, which has wired Wash
ington, demanding the right of poll
teal asylum for Marti. and country
wide protest is gathering momentum
at this newest high-handed behavior
on the part of the immigration Of
ficials who acted as self-appointed
custodian jailors, and the actions of
the officers Of the SIS. Venezuela
who acted in league with San Saliva
dor fascists to return him to Jail in
that country.

STEAL MILLIONS
IN BANK OF us.
But Steuer Covers Up
Real Robbery

NEW YCRK-What the Daily
Worker published weeks ago, when
the Bank Of the United States
crashed, is nov dribbling through in
a fake white washing investigation
engineered by the Tafnmany gratters,
through the criminal lawyer, Steuer,
now going on.
1t is brought out that $s7, 4ss, 2so in
fake loans was handed out, and that
most Of this money can never be got
ten back. The directors Of the bank
themselves robbed the bank of $4,-
5lo2l7 through cleans"
The real story OF the bank robbery,
amounting to at least $loo, 600, 900, will
never come out in this Investigation"
Steuer. who is conducting the queS-
tioning of the bank officials, is a
close friend of the bankers. He was
bribed at the beginning by getting
his $4,000 out of the bank after the
bank was closed, and when nearly
100000 worker despesitors were de-
prived Of their savings.
What Steuer is keeping quiet is the
fact that loans" and graft went to
Tammany politicians and judges. For
printing these facts, the Daily Worker
was accused of "wFeeking banks
through rurnors."
