Why AS a White Southerner
[ Will Vote Communist
BY BURCK

vocates absolute equality for them.
Communists Boldly Entered.
The now famous Scottsboro case
is just sample of the type of &C
ton expected from such organiza-
tons. Not a single one of them
would touch the case in which
group of Negroes were charged
with raping two white prostitutes.
They might be criticised if they
interfered in case involving rape
charges, no matter how unfounded
these charges were! 1t was not I'M
til the Communists boldly entered
the case and bearded the ugly race
hatred in the heart of it's own
territory that some of the other
organizations pretended to interest
themselves. It Is my opinion, after
having followed the Scottsboro case
from the very beginning possibly
as carefully as any one else in the
country that the nine boys would

CARNATIONS.
Now, some one will ask why I,
a white Southerner, am SO inte-
rested in no wthe Negro is treated.
My answer is: AS a Southerner,
my experiences have taught me
that as long as race hatred and
discrimination are allowed to ex-
ist, SO long will it be impossible
to gain any immediate concessions
form the ruling class or achieve
ultimate victory. The Communist
Party is the only Party struggling
to abolish race hatred and dis
elimination and the only Party
which proposes an economic and
political program that will solve all
the workers and farmers difficult
les; and for that reason, my vote
goes to its standard bearers, Will
liam z. Foster and James w. Ford.

Austrian c. P. Issues
Appeal Against War

THE Central Committee Of the
! Communist Party of Austria has
issued an appeal against the threat
ening inperialist war on the Soviet
Union, in which it calls on the
social democratic workers to join
hands with their Communist fellow
workers in the factories and to hold
factory meetings to deal with the
war danger and express their readi-
ness to defend the Soviet Union.
I'VE propose joint demonstration
to the social democratic workers
against the sabotage of the trading
negotiations with the Soviet Union.
We propose to them that they elect
with us in all important factories
and on the railways united front
committees to control whether the
Austrian bourgeoisie attempts to
supply the anti-Soviet armies with
war materials, and to oppose any
such attempts with mass protests,

BY WALTER WILSON

(Mr. Wilson, born and reared
In Tennessee-his forefatherS
settled in the South many ge-
neratiOns agO-is now completing
book to be published in August
on forced labor in the United
States, which will contain chapt-
ers on peonage and the chain
gang. Mr.. Wilson is a frequent
contributor to many periodicals.
He was formerly the southern
representative of the American
Civil Liberties UniOn.)
THE Communist Party ticket, led
by William z. Foster and James
w. Ford, will get my vote in the
coming presidential election. Even
if two Negroes were the candidates
for the President and Vice-Pre-
sidelt, I should vote the Commu-
mist ticket; just as should if two
white were the nominees. The
reason? Foster and Ford are the
only candidates in opposition to
the capitalist parties way out of
the crisis.
Only Party for Equal Rights.
I am convinced from study and
my own experiences, especially in
the South, that only a united
working class, regardless of creed,
race, or nationality can make pro-
gress and show the creative ener-
gy needed to develop the human
race to its highest point This can
only mean that white and Negro
workers must join hands on terms
of absolute equality and confidence.
The Communist Party has amply
demonstrated, by words and action,
that it is the only Party standing
for unconditional economic, poll
tical, and social equality, and a
complete solution of the social
problem.
Certainly the Communist Party
is the first Party in the history of
the country to take such a stand
I do not consider the Communist
Party is doing more for the Negro
worker than for the white worker
in its fearless, direct, and unrnis-
taxable position on the race ques-
ton. 1t is the first time that we
white people have been honestly
and fearlessly told and shown in
practice just where our interest
lieS-that we have everything in
common with the Negro people, and
nothing in common with the white
ruling class, its prejudices and
hates, which are utilized to keep
white and black workers apart.
1t has been my privilege to see
in practice the programs of every
single labor and political organiza-
ton operating in the South, where,
OF course, the race question is of
supreme importance. Included in
these organizations are the Social
list party, the Conference for Pro-
gressive Labor Action, the Confer
ence for Progressive Political Ac-
ton, the American Federation of
Labor, the Southern Interacial
Commission, and the Communist
Party. I know most of the leaders
