ers, too, be allowed to determine such
questions for themselves. She was
then asked If she had Negro blood.
She replied that she did not but
would be proud to proclaim it if she
did and added that even though she
didn't have Negro blood she was
fighting to save the Scottsboro boys
from being legally murdered and that
it was duty of all white workers to
do likewise.
She answered the question as to
her being member of Communist
Party with the reply that she was
very proud that she was, and then
gave the full Party program. Her
answer to Smiths question as to
whether she favored the overthrow
of the United States Constitution,
her answer was she and all Commu-
nists were fighting to force capital
lists to observe elementary rights the
constitution gives the working class
and above that to fight for working
class government which would super
impose present constitution through
the additional rights which workers
have in the Soviet Union. Parks
then began to compare conditions OF
the workers in the United States with
conditions of the workers in Soviet
Union. She was explaining how
miners in the Soviet Union worked
six hours a day without the hated
speed-up and with one full months
vacation each year with pay and had
said that the National Miners Union
and Communist Party were fighting
for the same conditions for miners
in Kentucky and Tennessee when
Judge Van Beber interrupted her
and ordered her taken to the Harlan
jail Immediately under $4,000 bail.
Before she was to be taken on the
ride from which she almost certainly
would have never returned Van
Beber, Smith and the Mayor held a
consultation during which it was de-
cided to let her remain in the Pine
vile jail and reduce her bail to
$4,000, the same amount imposed on
the other Jailed comrades.

done II gun thugs had attempted to

Kuomintang In New Betrayal
Attempt

Attempt
The Chinese referred to are "emi-
nent Chinese" friendly to the inpe-
rialistS- In other words, the Kuo-
mintang traitors who have consist
emily betrayed the struggles of the
Chinese masses and acted the role
of hangmen for the imperialists. The
Japanese appreciation for these
traitors was well expressed yesterday
by the Japanese Admiral Nomura. A
Shanghai dispatch reports him as re-
ferring TO the heroic Chinese soldiers
and workers who are defending the
Chapel district Of Shanghai in the
following words: =.
I'VE Japanese are not on speak
ing terms with the Chinese here"
But at Marking, the Chinese and
Japanese are able 10 talk it
through"
Under the leadership of the Chin
ese Communist Party, the Chinese
workers at Shanghai have more and
more gained control over the Chapel
district, making extremely difficult
the efforts Of the Kuomintang lead
ers TO betray the peoples struggle
against the japanese invaders. The
soldiers Of the Marking Nineteenth
Route Army have formed Revolu-
ttonary Council. The revolutionary
elements among other Marking
troops are gaining in influence and
winning new sections Of the soldiers
away from the Kuornintang control.
As a result of the tense relations
between the robber imperialists, the
Japanese have been forced to delay
their big offensive. The delay Is be-
ing used by the United States and
British imperialists to exert pressure
on their Kuonintang tools for an
other attempt to betray the defend
ers Of Shanghai. Chang Kai-shek is
being brought to Shanghai to con-
tinue on the spot his efforts to dis
arm the Nineteenth Route Army. A
Shanghai dispatch reports:
This indicated to some that he
was willing to risk the power he
now holds in an effort to persuade
the Nineteenth Chinese Route
Army to withdraw and cease hos
tilities.''
Mass Resistance Grows ALI Over
China
At Marking and Chinkiang, the
situation is extremely tense, with the
masses forcing the merchants to stop
supplies of vegetables, meat and
fruits to the Japanese warshipS me-
nscing those cities AS usual, the
Kuomintang officials side with the
imperialist enemy, promising to OBJ
tain supplies for the japanese war
ships "as long as the two nations
maintain friendly diplomatic inter
course" The workers are furious and
the Kuomintang officials have estab-
lished virtual martial law. In the
meantime, disaffection is spreading
among the Kuomintang troops.
