because In practice they insist on the defense
OF the fatherland" not in the sense OF fighting
against the oppression OF foreign nation, but
upon the right" OF one or the other OF the

other peoples. The sociai-chauvinists follow the
bourgeoisie in deceiving the people by saying that
the war is conducted for the defense of the free

S. HI
One Buffalo newspaper charged that alien
workers live in unsanitary shops pay exorbi-
tant rents for room and board, and are tempted
further to expend their wages on liquor and
gambling" Similar reports we're given to the
Acting Governor Lehman about the conditions
of the highway workers near Glens Falls and
Pattsburg.
We would like to ask Mr.. Corsi-was there
really anything done to punish these unlawful
practices2 mol More than that, we do not ex-
pect any clerk OF Mr. Doak to give Justice anu
protection to the foreign born. We know that
only by mass movement OF native and foreign
born will We be able to put stop to the daily
terror inspired by the Vanguard, Mr.. Doak
Talking about law. Could any government Of
fcer give any legal excuse for having foreign
born workers excluded from work? This Is what
Mr.. Harold Fields, the Director OF Citizenship
League, states: big industry virtually bars
aliens. The result of this is, vicious cycle
which makes it impossible for them to earn
enough money to become citizens"
And Dr. j. G. VIM. Greeff, Commissioner Of
City Hospitals instructed on Dec Path that the
96 alien nurses employed by the City Hospitals
be discharged. The Civil Service Commissioner
of Trenton, N. J.. instructed on January 9Th that
the 162 alien workers employed should be dis
charged. Is this in accordance with the law?
And Is not this being inspired by Mr.. Doak
himself?
The excuse offered to discharge aliens in order
to make place for native born has no ground
What would 162 discharges in New, jersey and
96 discharges in New York do in solving the
grave unemployment situation? Where Is the
lawful Justification for discharging 25e workers
in the states Of New York and New Jersey where
the foreign born population amounts to 41l2,6 5S
In another article We will expose the lie that
foreign born workers deported for criminal
activities" and the bills pending in Congress
aimed at increasing their persecution.

Secretary Doak "Protects" the
Foreign Born

CATION committee OF the Committee for Protec-
ton OF the Foreign Born and the International
Labor Defense, in connection with raid that
took place in Ossining New York in Dec, 1881,
where about eighty men were arrested the in
vestigation committee tells lis the following:
The Ossining chief of police, Frank Minnerly,
was asked how many warrants we're issued, he
replied, two. When ne was asked if warrants
know. When he was asked how does it happen
that from Sixty-five to eighty men were arrested
on two warrants, he said only eight were ar
rested and that the rest were friends and rela-
tives.
When Minnerly was asked how does it happen
that eight men were arrested on two warrants
he said he did not know how many warrants
were issued. He also stated that the police were
only used as assistants to the immigration men.
If the Chief of Policies words be taken as
gospel, then 1t means that the immigration COM
missioners who have the blessing of Mr.. Doak
are unlawfully making raids and arrests upon
foreign born residents. Now, doesn't it sound
ridiculous when Mr.. Corsi promises protection
in accordance with instructions of Sec. of Labor
Doak
Mr.. Corsi speaking about getting rid of the
aliens, further makes an innocent gesture, 1--WE
are even more concerned with those who are
bent on Illegal gain and conspre to encourage
the violation of our laws" If that would be
seriously meant, how could it happen that on
state construction jobs, alien labor was being
employed at wages under the prevailing local
scale, and ''lived like poems and were treated
like coolies Geport on the Attica Prison job

IN statement issued by Edward Corsi, Com
missioner OF immigration at Ellis Island on
January 8, ne states that some immigration in
spectors were collecting thousands Of dollars
from unsuspecting aliens, who thought they were
paying for protection. They collected in install
rientS that run as low as ten dollars week
He further states Wherever It has been pos
sible to lay hands on these exploiters, we have
dealt with them without mercy Mr.. Corsi con-
tinued:
''Yn order that Our foreign born population be
protected, we would appreciate such public in
formation as will assist us in checking this latest
racket" Z. and further, every effort Is being
made by the immigration authorities here to
curb various forms Of graft and intimidation,
practiced by racketeers, upon credulous aliens
in accordance with the instructions Of Secre-
tary Of Labor VIM. Doak"
The Committee for the Protection Of the For
eign Born cannot take seriously the protection"
OF Mr.. Corsi which is being instructed, as he
says, by Doak. II there is anyone responsible
for this racketeer business 1t is none other than
Mr.. Doak himself. Had these racketeers not
been inspired by the message Of Pres Hoover
to the T2nd Congress and by the report Of the
Sec. Of Labor Doak, such persecution against
the foreign born and such racketeering would
never have taken place.
Is not Mr.. Doak himself responsible for the
criminal behavior OF the immigration commits
sioners and police officers in their drive against
the foreign born? Is it not fact that on July
22nd raid took place upon the road workers Of
White Plains, New York, where number Of
workers were arrested without any warrants?
CThis was done in order to break strike Of the
road workers against starvation.-s H. After
charges were brought to Sec Of Labor Doak
that the entire procedure which took place
against the road workers in White Plains was
unlawful, Mr.. Doak's reply was that the police
and immigration officers have right to make
raids and arrests If charges were evident
But we know that even If charges are not evi-
dent the police and immigration officers are
taking the authority to persecute the foreign
born. In q statement issued by a Joint inyesti-

Four Days on a Soviet Ship

in their Red Corner, the first evening out. The
Red Corner is a fair-sized club room with good
location on the second deck. There are maya
zines on the tables, a small library, and many
good wallpapers which the sailors have made

lst among them, for the drawings have real
punch.

discipline and order prevail on Soviet boats A

elected from every department. handles all
grievances of men or complaint that the Off
GERS may have. Before g member OF the crew
can be discharged, the charge against him is
first investigated by the union, and II found
unwarranted, the man OF course remains on his

We have few speeches. then while drinking

AFTER some four thousand miles of travel our
III international workers delegation has arrived
at Batum small port on the Black Sea. Here
we are to leave our international wagon"

we will have our first experience of sailing, for
four days and nights, under the red flag
We hasten along the wide cobble-stone streets

Is in the air, warm sun and sub-tropical fol-
iage greet us, while the sea lies so calm and
blue, we wonder why it was ever christened
black.
When we reach the shoreline q. shout goes
UP. For the neat harbor, which has been greatly
extended In the past two years, is full of pas
sengers and freight boats, as well as three naval
ships-an flying the red flag! There are also
few foreign freighters docked here and being
loaded with tangerines and grain or with Baku
oil.
Seeing by our clothes and speech that We are
foreign, the Soviet sailors and lockers crowd
around, welcoming us and putting many ques-
tons about the workers movement in the lands
from which we come.
We spend busy day in Baturn, inspecting the
port and new clothing factory to which viii
lage girls and women who recently cast of the
eastern veil have come to work and study. After
an excellent impromptu meal in their factory
Kitchen which costs the workers only eighteen
cents and includes three courses OF SOUP meat
vegetables, and dessert we go TO union head
quarters, where the president of the local I'M

OF questions and discussion follows a Jolly even

seamen from England, Germany, Belgium, Italy

n YEW YORK, May 19.-With
n time growing short and
the opposition fast becem-
ing sitter, this country's
Davis Cup Selection Committee
still is in a quandary as to the
best available singles combina-
ton.
The tennis fathers. at least. still are
letting the boys make threeway fight
of it as they prepare for the important
tie against Australia next week end at
Philadelphia. Ellsworth Vines, Wilmer
Allison and Frank X. Shields again
have been nominated for singles duty,
with Allison and John Van Ryn to
carry on in doubles.
DY their brilliant form against both
- Mexico and Canada, Van Ryn and
Allison have settled the doubles
problem. They will do. But 1t has be-
come increasingly difficult to choose
between the singles aspirants Vines
hasn't yet displayed the form that
rocketed him to the national title last
year. and only Allison has played con-
sistently we'll Shields further compli-
Gated matters the other day by beating
Vines in an exhibition at Kansas City.
If the Australian team proves as pow
erful as advance notice would indicate,
the Selection Committee might have to
make up its mind suddenly down at
Philadelphia.
A DEFEAT in singles on the opening
n day would necessitate quick
change in the present comfortable
policy of letting Vines play two singles
matches and Allison and Shields one
apiece.
In Jack Crawford, the Australians are
said to have really dangerous rival
for any man on the United States
team. He and Harry Hopman form the
invaders doubles combination. the
Anzacs already are on the ground and
practicing hard.
