White Admits MA. A.C.P. Is
Out of SEQ ttSboro Defense
Boys and Parents Firm in Barring White and
Negro Lackeys Of Imperialists

NEW YORK. that the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People was out of
the Scottsboro case was made Sun
day night by Walter White, national
secretary of the organization, at its
annual meeting at st. Marks Church,
18Th Street and st. Nicholas Avenue.
The announcement came as a re-
suit Of the firm attitude of the nine
boys, their parents and other kin and
of the tremendous mass pressure of
Negro and white workers against the
traitorous activities Of the refor1nist
NAACP leadership, who have done
everything in their power to disrupt
the defense of the boys and strange
the mass defense movement which
alone can save and FREE the nine
innocent boys
White admitted Sunday that Clar-
ence barrow and Arthur Garfield
Hays had been informed by the boys
that they could not participate in the
defense as attorneys of the NAACP.
The boys plainly told them that they
had no confidence in the NAACP,
whose acknowledged attorney, Stehen
Boldly, had tried to get them to plead
guilty to a crime they did not com
nit. Darrow and Hayes were ad-
vised to cooperate with the attorneys
engaged by the boys, their family and
the international Labor Defense if
they really wished to help defeat the
lynch verdicts against the boys. This
the liberal attorneys refused to do.
White tried to explain the rejec-
ton of the NAACP by the Scottsboro
boys with the SANDER that the boys
we're too ignorant to know what sort
of defense they wanted The boys

what people in capitalist countries

Combating a depression y
said the mouthpiece of Morgan
mad Co., sis indeed like a great
war in that it is not a battle
upon a single front but upon
many fronts" Specifically, of course
Hoover was referring to the attack on
the unemployed, through resistance OF
the demands for unemployment in
sWance, and the war front" against
the employed, through wage cuts
speed-up, stagger plans, etc.
Admitting the Continued shocks
from world instability" Hoover press
ed several proposals all designed to
put more profits into the pockets OF
the rich stock and bond holders.
The most outstanding point was the
creation of a reconstruction finance
corporation" which would get $1,000
100000 of government money to pay
railroad profits mainly, This, Hoover
said, was necessary to "restore con-
fidence in the bonds of our railways"
Many other measures to help the
bankers and other exploiters were
contained in Hoover's message. One
measure provides for greater robbery
of the deposits Of the workers who
still have anything left in the banks,
Hoover proposes that the banking
laws be made easier so that the banks
can hide their failures.
Hoover insisted on greater taxation
which would hit the workers mainly.
This is another of Wall Streets
battle fronts"
Conscious that his whole message
TENS with billions Of expenditure for
the bosses, to keep up their profits,
Hoover has a word to say about the
unemployed.
"Out people" he says, through vol
untary measures and through state
and local action are providing for dis
tress."
That's all Hoover offers for the IN
employed. After requesting billions
for the Morgans, Rockefellers, Mel
Ions, Hoovers, Lannon'S, ETC., he tells
the unemployed to depend on the
charities and "state relief" after every
leading charity head has been in
Washington and has testified before
the Senate Committee that the pres
ent local, state and charity funds
will deem hundreds of thousands to
death by starvation.
Against Hoover's program of billions
for the bosses, the National Commit
tee Of the Unemployed Councils is

Dear Sirs:
The capitalist press even had to
admit that the 14th anniversary cell
ebration held in commemoration of
the new Soviet Union was of great
Joy and success. The following ev-
cerpt is taken from an article appear
ing in the Toledo News-Bee:
Thousands of banners, floats and
caricatures reminded the Soviet citl
zenry of their good luck in being out
Of the bourgeois morass of memploy-
ment, bank failures and hopelessness.
Against these were contrasted re-
minders that the Soviet Union had
abolished unemployment and was
speedily catching up with foreign
production

the Russian masses deserve what
they now possess because they got it

In the strike of the miners of our
district, the NMU organized the
workers by the thousands and fought
effectively against starvation, against
the combined attack of the bosses
government, the UMWA and the
Socialist Party and the coal trust.
Attic the miners of this district lost
their demands, they came out of the
strike not crushed and defeated, but,
on the contrary, with their own
union, the NMU, steeled in struggle,
which had brought the message of
working class organization into every
coal mine in the district. The strike
of the 10000 coal miners of this dis
trict, under the leadership of the
NMU, not only gave the miners of
this district union of their own, but
served as a guide and inspiration to
the miners of the anthracite, South
