rALLINGG for increased mobilization against
" and exposure of the Eoover-Doak deporta-
ton program the International Labor Defense
and the National Council for the Protection of
the Foreign-Born have joined in an appeal call
ing for the raising of these issues in the August
First Demonstration against imperialist war,
and the Sacco-Vanzetti Demonstrations of Au-
gust %.
The statement declares that the Hoover ad-
rninistration, snlarting under the exposures al
ready made of its rnurderous policy of shipping
militant workers back to death in fascist coun-
tries is now seeking to silence publicity growing
out of the fight against this campaign being
made in the federal courts The statement is as
follows:
Appeal Issued by the International Labor De-
fense and The National Council for the
Protection of the Foreign-Born
In its savage war against the workers cry for
work and bread, the Washington government
announces its program to deport 10000 "unde-
sirables" this year.
These 10000 'undesrables' are being carefully
and deliberately picked by the hordes of inmi-
grafton department agents sent into all prospec-
tive strike areas where strikes are actually in
progress. These Hoover bloodhounds seek as
''undesirables" all leaders of the growing strike
struggles (coal mining, textiles and other in
dustries) as we'll as workers coming to the front
in the leadership of the various militant working
class organizations battling against starvation
and unemployment.
Doak Carries on Campaign.
Secretary of Labor Doak, deportation director
of the Hoover administration, fearing the rising
protest against this phase of its cnti-labor at
tack, has taken to the platform be-3re Kiwanis

ing deportation DEGREES.
The International Labor Defense and the Ma
tional Council for the Protection of the Foreign
Born, in the fight for the right of political asy
lum for all workers in the United States in the
struggle against deportations, join in calling for
the widest possible mobilization of mass protest
against this program of murder. Deportation of
militant workers today to numerous other capi-
talist countries means long prison terms or &C
tual death sentences.
Hoover Seeks Secrecy
The Hoover administration seeks to carry out
these barbarous attacks on labor in secret. Sec
retary of Labor Doak proposes. for instance, that
all appeals to federal courts be Withdrawn and
he will grant voluntary departure to deportees.
We definitely reject any such tricky proposals.
Such an agreement would mean completely CIV
ing up the fight for the right of asylum. 1t
would be open collaboration with the Hoover de-
portation program. Instead we will intensity the
struggle for the right of asylum and against de-
portations on every front. The attempted pussy
footing tactics of the Hoover administration will
be fought openly through mass protest and by
taking full advantage of every opportunity Of
fered by the courts of the boss class.
