8I}R0UN Is LEFT"
SOCIALIST CLOWN

NEW YORK. - Haywood Broun,
chief cloun of the socialist party,
doesn't believe third party is nee
essary to preserve capitalism in the
present crisis. He thinks the social
. list party is well able to do that, ac-
cording to speech he delivered
Tuesday at meeting of the New
York Chapter of the League for In
dustrial Democracy.
Saying that Communism stands for
the violent overthrow of capitalism,
and that it is up to the socialist party
to diSsuade the masses from harming
capitalism in any way. Broun ap-
pealed to the middle class to join the
socialist party. He said he was a
member of the middle class and de-
spite his $4,000 year for peddling
propa ganda suitable to the bosses,
Broun complained, 81 lack security;
we all lack security" If capitalism is
wiped out Broun's salary will go with
it, SO he shouts for the security OF

Strange as 1t may sound, Broun
adopts many of the arguments of the
so-called lefts in the socialist party,
arguing against the "progressives'

Case

LOS ANGELES, Cal.-Ed Louie
Wing, % year old young Communist,
was arrested six months ago in res
taurant in San Pedro and is to be
deported to China. The government
granted him the right of voluntary
departure, and he has been denied
that right by the local immigration
authorities. .e
Wing was seized without warrant
while innocently drinking cup OF
coffee in San Pedro, arrested and
searched When his card OF men,
bership in the Communist Party was
discovered, he was flung into jail, and
recommendations for his deportation
sent to Washington. Deportation or
ders were put through, but action -on
his behalf by attorneys John Boards

for Wing the right Of voluntary de-
parture upon invitation to Russia.
Wing has been Kept in Jail since
his arrest six months ago, the only
charge against him being that of
membership in the Communist Party.

~ 81 months sentence handed out
20 two of our members, Lorenzo

ing the Daily Worker in the subway.
This outrageous treatment meted
out by the court is unexampled 1t
is direct attack not only against
these two young workers, but upon
the Daily Worker, our paper. We
protest against this fierce example OF
capitalist justice, against the direct
attack upon the Daily Worker.
The Daily Worker is the onlg
paper that fights for unemployment
insurance, that demands immediate
and adequate relief of the destitute
that organizes resistance against evic-
tions.
Attack On Workers Paper.
1t is because the Daily Worker is
the voice and weapon of the WORKING
class that this sentence was imposed
The Judge complains that these young
workers were defiant. If they said
that they did not expect justice from
a Tammany judge, they were right
and the sentence proved it. 1t Is
we'll known how these judges buy
their jobs. They are in league with
the racketeers of the underworld
they wreck banks, stealing the small
savings of hundreds of thousands Of
workers.
We demand the immediate release
of these two workers. We will bacl
up our demand by mobilizing the
workers against this sentence, anc
by doubling our efforts in spreading
the Daily Worker.
