down by the growing revolutionary movement led
by the Communist Party and Red Trade Unions.
The weak and parasitic Negro bourgeoisie has
fastened to show its Seryility to the American
white imperialistS. Negro reformist organizations
OF the type Of the National Association Of Ad-
vancement of Colored People the Urban League,
and others, are carrying on the most vicious and
calumnious attacks against the Communist Party
and the International Labor Defense (American
Section of Mopr) which is leading the defense
of the eight Scottsboro victims.
Misery, unemployed, starvation and death
stalks the countryside The increasing activity of
the Negro masses in the developing class strug
ges in the U. S. A., in strikes, demonstrations,
in the struggle for unemployment relief, and for
national liberation, is striking terror into the
hearts of the ruling class. The Negro and white
masses are uniting as never before and are strik-
ing back at their oppresSors. To stop this grow
ing unity to stem this rising tide Of revolutionary
struggle, the white ruling class Of the United
States are resorting to the most brutal error.
scotsboro is symbolic Of this reign Of terror,
In the summer Of 1880 in Stalingrad, u S. S. r.
two American white workers, poisoned by the
white Chauvinist propaganda Of the boss class Of
America, we're sentenced to two years imprison-
ment for striking a Negro worker Later this
sentence was changed to deportation from the
Soviet Union.
In the U. s. S. r. where all forms Of capitalist
oppression have been eliminated with the result
that there no longer exists a basis for chau-
vinism, elements such as these are ruthlessly
dealt with During this trial in all the factories
throughout the Soviet Union meetings were held
by the workers denouncing this act Of white
Chauyinism and demanding the most severe steps
to be taken against those guilty of this act.
These are the two worlds. On the one hand
SCottsboro in the U.S.A., the country with the
highest capitalist culture" with its intense eX-
poitation and robbery Of millions of the toiling
masses and ruthless suppression Of a National
Minority
On the other hand, in the other world-Stalin-
grad, U. S. S. r., the only country where the
workers are in power, where with the continued
success of the mighty five year plan and the
rapid construction Of socialist society, the we'll
being OF the toiling masses reaches ever higher
levels. Cooperating in this task Of the construc-
ton OF socialism are many National Minority

as equals. in peace and unity, exercising their
right to self determination
This tremendous contrast between the two
worlds exercising as 1t does profound revolu-
tionary influence upon the working-clas and OPP
pressed peoples Of the whole world Is one Of the
chief reasons why, today, the inperianst powers
Of the whole world are preparing at feverish
pace war Of intervention against the Soviet
Union in order to crush this vanguard Of the OPP
pressed peoples of the whole world
The present offensive against the toiling masses
and the reign of terror now raging in the U. s. A.,
exenplified most clearly in the recent murders OF
the striking miners in Harlan, Kentucky the
killing of the unemployed in Detroit, Chicago and
Cleveland and the two members Of the National
Executive Committee Of the Y. c. L., In the ire
mendous growth Of lynchings and the proposed
measures to drive the Communist Party OF the
q. s, A. and all revolutionary organizations into
iIegaty, all constitute parts Of the general drive
Of American Imperialism In its efforts to extri-
cate itself from the crisis at the expense of the
masses and its preparations for war IN the East
and aagtnst the Soviet Union
Under the leadership Of the I L. D., the toiling
masses both black and white are being modified
in defense OF the eight Negro boys, against
lynchingS and all forms Of white terror employed
by the American ruling class against the toiling
masses But the fate OF these eight Negro boys
and the struggle for liberation Of the Negro
masses in the United States, depends not only on
the Goiling masses Of America but also on the
toiling masses OF the whole world
Now, as never before, must the international
solidarity OF all the oppressed and toiling masses
be welded in bonds OF steeli
