A SCOTTSBORO MOTHER
FIGHT =

! glories of the land OF prosperity and
democracy"
The Negro Mother, Ada Wright,
might have spoken before huge audi
ences in II cities during her two
weeks stay in Germany. But the
Scottsboro demonstrations were COM
pletely forbidden in three cities-Co-
logne, Frankfurt an d. Muenchen.
The police of Leipzig and Hanover
adopted the policy initiated and
carried out by the socialist police
president of Berlin, Grzesinski, that
the Scottsboro Mother was not to
speak, appear at or send a message
to the meetings. But the meetings
we're carried through just the same.
In the three cities of Altona- Ham
burg, Halle and Stuttgart the police
stood by to keep her from speaking
as she was allowed to sit upon the
speakers platform. She spoke in
cities, including zoergiebers Dort-
mund and NoSkes Dartmstadt.
Socialist Police Worked With
Lynchers
1t was the declaration that the So
cial democratic police regime worked
hand in glove with the Alabama
lynchers that caused Grzesinsk's po-
lice in Berlin to break up the Scots
boro demonstration when it was about
to conclude. But this proved more
than ever by the police tyranny that
sought everywhere to gag and silence
the Negro Mother, policy Of the
central government at Berlin that
feels and knows its class interests
with American capitalism in spite of
the Dawes and the Young Plans, re-
psrations demands and war debt pay
ments.
Everywhere, however, it may be
said, that attempted suppression Of
the Scottsboro Negro Mothers appeal
only won for it increasing mass sup
port.
The fascist press did team work
with the socialist police as in Berlin
where the Naz organ "Angriff''
sought to denounce the Negro Moth
er's tour as theatre coup" of the
International Red Aid, and to de-
nounce DR.. Albert Einstein, leading
member Of the Committee for the
Liberation Of the Scottsboro Negro
boys, as a Jew, and to attack the
author, Thomas Mann, demanding
that he forget about conditions in
America and confine himself solely
to Germany. But even the liberal
"Fremdenblatt" Of Hamburg sought
to dismiss the whole question as
merely Communist agitation"
The total result has been, however
to set all Germany thinking about

Macdonald Urges Discussion of the
World Trade by Lausanne
Conference

LONDON, June LIN an interview
granted to the Daily Mail, Prime
Minister Macdonald stated that the
British Government will send its
representatives to the Lausanne Con-
ference which will take place on
June the 18th with instruction to
propose the widening of the discus
sion so as to cover not only repa-
rations and war obligations but also
tariffs and other general questions
concerning the economic crisis.
Imperialist war will, therefore, be
discussed as the capitalist way out
of the crisis. The preparation for
Intervention against the Soviet Un-
ion will absorb the major part of the
discussion, although probably under
some kind of diplomatic mask.
PRAGUE.-The strike of the Slo-

CHINESE RED ARMIES IN
VICTORIOUS CAMPAIGNS
Sweeping Victories in Many Provinces in Spite
of Active Armed Intervention by the
Imperialists

Chinese Workers CorrespOndence.)
The Chinese Worker Peasant Red
Armies are developing everywhere
throughout China.
Proceeding under the slogan: "Po-
sitive Action by the Red Army, the
First Group Red Army, which COM
prises the First, Fourth, Twelfth and
Fifteenth Armies, commanded respec-
lively by Chu Teck, Liu Piao, Law
Ping-hui and Lii Chen-tung, COM
menced a general advance in West
Fukien Province towards the end Of
March.
In this general advance the Red
troops, 10000 in number, captured
many towns and hsiens in South Fu-
kien in rapid succession, including
Changchow, foremost commercial
town near the Fukien-Kwangtung
border and terminus Of the short rail-
way running inland from Annoy.
Changchow was heavily garrisoned
by Kuomintang troops of the 49th
Division commanded by Chang Tseng.
The Red Army launched an attack
on the town on April IA and by the
end of April its capture was COM
. pleted and Chang Tseng's troops put
to rout.
During the battle severe casualties
we're inflicted on the Kuomintang
forces, many we're killed and wounded
One regimental commander was Kill
led, two .regimental generals cap
tured, and two brigadier generals
wounded Many Of the Kuomintang
soldiers deserted to the Red Army
because they had not been paid for
months and were indignant on the
subject of the Japanese invasion Of
their country, to which the Kuomin-
tang has offered not the slightest re-
sistauce. The soldiers know that
the Red Armies constitute the only
armed forces that are fighting for the
emancipation of the Chinese nation.
Long before the Red Army had
reached the vicinity of Changchow
the white terror in the town was in
tensifed by the Kuomintang author
tiles. Martial law was proclaimed
and troops and police carried out
raids throughout the area. Arrests
and executions Of workers took place
daily sN
With the capture of Changchow by
the Red-Army, a Soviet District Gov
ernnent was set up. On April 20,
Maos Hsh -tung, chairman Of the Flu
kien, Provincial Soviet Government,
issued an appeal calling upon the
toiling masses to support the Red
Armies and join the Soviet Revolu-
ton. Two days later there was a
popular meeting in ChangchoW in
which thousands of toilers, now free
from Kuomintang exploitation and
oppression, participated. The meet
ing appointed a Peoples Tribunal to
try members of the gentry and Of
ficials and officers of the Kuomin-
tang for their brutal crimes against

the people.
The Red troops were advancing in
two directions. Within few days
they had taken Changpu, Yungshi
and other districts to the south OF
Changchow, while in the East they
captured Changtai on April Is.
On April q, Immediately following
the occupation Of Changchow by the
Red Armies, the Consuls at Annoy
of all the imperiaist powers held a
conference to decide on measures ito
safeguard foreign lives and property
in case of emergency" 1t was de-
cided by the conference that there
should be a meeting Of the commando
ers of all the imperialist naval forces
stationed at Annoy for the purpose
Of working out detailed plans for
direct armed intervention against the
Red Army.
Press dispatches from Annoy re-
port that the imperialist naval forces
will land if necessary and hold Annoy
against the Red Army, particularly
as the soldiers of the Kuomintang
garrison have not been paid for the
last four months. The imperialists
fear that these soldiers may join the
Red Army. Meanwhile Chinese bank
ers in Annoy have removed their sill
yer to the foreign controlled area
and the city has been placed under
rigorous martial law. According to
| reports formidable trench works,
stretching for long distances, are be-
ing constructed along the banks OF
the creek, on the hillsides and in
other strategic positions, the work
being conducted under the supervi-
sion Of foreign military experts.
At the present time there are %
imperialist warships lying in Annoy
harbor, American, 8 japanese, 13
/ British. There are also four Chinese
| gunboats. On March 25, the Japa-
nese government secretly sent $500
| troops to Formosa, a Japanese island
colony not very far from the coast
Of Fukien. These troops we're dis
patched from Niigata. The combined
imperialist and Kuomintang forces
are preparing to take action against
the Chinese SoYiets and the Worker
Peasant Red Army of China.
On April 4, Red troops commanded
by Fong Chi-meng captured Sungan
which was the stronghold of the Ku-
omintang Army in North Fukien. Two
regiments Of Kuomintang troops
were defeated, and the activities OF
the Red Army extended to Kwangteh
and other districts in the northern
section Of Fukien Province.
Since the capture of Changchow,
the Red Army in South Kiangsi has
launched vigorous attack on the
Cantonese Red Suppression" troops
successfully recovering Yutu, Sungyi

THE Scottsboro Negro Mother, Ada
Wright, fighting not only for the
lives of her two sons but for the
nine Negro boys facing the electric
chair in Alabama, has completed her
tour of Germany.
Before the eyes of great masses Of
German workers, the mask Of SOCIAL
ed democracy has dropped from the
face of capitalist class tyranny and
there has been revealed the hideous
features Of lynch-murder, lynch JUS
tice, of the class and national op-
preston OF 100000 Negroes, work
ers and poor farmers in the United
States.
The Negro mother had never been
beyond the confines of the state Of
Tennessee, in which she had lived
all her life, until the judicial lynchers
in Alabama sought to legalize through
the electric chair the originally at
tempted mob murder Of her two sons,
and the seven sons Of six other Ne
gro mothers. But she opssessed the
proletarian instinct of class resistance
and appeared continuously through
out the past year in the great cities
!, Of the United States, raising the ban
ners of the Scottsboro campaign.
Grandmother a Slave
Hers is background of Negro
slavery days in the United States
her own grandmother not long dead
having been the human slave Of the
plantation taskmasters in "T h {
South" of the United States, torr
from her own mother at six years o.
age and sold on the auction block fol
$500.
The right OF the Siayeowner to mur'
: der his own slaves, lives in the Lynch
murder today. The struggle to roo
out this race and class oppression
that continues to take its huge tol
of human blood and agony through
frightful lynching horrors, burnings
floggings, shootings, brought the Ne
gro Mother across the Atlantic Ocear
to present the true picture Of tht
American classes to European labor
First Tour of Its Kind
This is the first time that such {
spokesman has come from America
although the worldwide struggles fol
Sacco and Vanzetti, for the victims
of Gastonia, and for Tom Mooney

ting that Negro Mother should have
been the first to be invited to Europe
by the German international Rec
Aid, raising sharply the actual pic
ture of class oppression and mass mis-
cry In the United States against the

GENEVA.-The head of the Uni

Gibson, informed that the United
States Government is not in favor
of an early adjournment of the Con-
ference. The heads Of other dele
cations took the same stand on be-
half of their respective governments.
This is to be interpreted as a sign
of the common desire to further
cover up the increase of armament
and the material aid being given to
Japan for an attack upon the Soviet
