only TO whisper disagreement with
the film project in order to have it
cancelled. The fundamental prin-
ciples of the Soviet Union are the
same today as they have always
been. Is it likely that an American
engineer will today be supported for
the same sort of prejudice that
caused his predecessors to be expelled
in disgrace two years ago? Moon
and Poston should not try to drag
Colonel Cooper into the affair in
order to give base to their own base
less ISLANDERS.
Betray Negro People.
1.-THE efforts of Poston and Moon
and one or two other members of the
delegation, to make political capital
of the temporary postponement of
the film, for purely technical reasons,
is a rank betrayal of the real inter-
ests of the Negro people. How glad
the white boss press-the press that
sneers at our people-has been to
hear these ISLANDERS! How glad they
will be to use the statements of Moon
and Poston to try to undermine the
faith of the Negro masses in the
Soviet Union. and to further their
attacks on the workers country. The
very fact that Moon and Poston have
met with such joyous reception
from the white boss press should
make us realize that we are dealing
with enemies"
That Moon and Poston are a min
ority among the members of the
Negro film delegation, is indicated
not only by a statement worded in
unmistakable language sent by radio
gram some days ago by Langstor
Hughes, Louise Thompson and 13
others, but also by articles and let
tiers sent from time to time by the
members of the delegation.
This attack is not only SANDER
against the Soviet Union, but is an
attempt to divert the Negro masses
from their turn towards Conlmu-
nism."

MAKE ATTEMPT
RETRY FOSTER
Part of Boss Plan to
Terrorize Workers

DETROIT, Niche, Oct. 5-The
state of Michigan after ten years is
still determined to bring to trial Will
liam z. Foster, Communist candidate
for president, together with a large
group of active Communists for the
crime of having assembled together
at a summer resort on the shores of
Lake Michigan in the summer of
1922.
The State of Michigan at that
time, acting on the suggestion from
the government in Washington,
raided that gathering and charged
that it constituted the crime of "cri-
minal syndicalism."
Foster Twas brought to trial but
failed of conviction as result of a
divided jury.
G. E. Ruthenberg was tried and
convicted and sentenced to ten years
in prison. The conviction was ap-
pealed to the United States Supreme
Court which upheld the verdict just
the period when Ruthenberg died in
1927.
Ten Years Delay.
Since that time, the state has made
no move to bring the case to trial
again. Attorneys for the Commun-
lists finally after ten years moved that
the case be dismissed. The Circuit
Court, acting on the advise of the
state government, denied this motion.
The defense thereupon appealed to
the Supreme Court of the State of
Michigan to throw out the indict-

NEW YORK CITY-"One can
only be angry and indignant at the
vicious ISLANDERS now being spread by
an insignificant minority of the Ne
gro film group who were invited to
the Soviet Union" was the way in
which James w. Ford, Negro ana
Communist candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, expressed himself yesterday on
hearing of statements charging the
Soviet Union with betrayal of the
Negro masses" because of the tenn
porary postponement of the film,

tour, expressed intense indignation

Thursday in Washington, and is
known to personally oppose the bo-
nus. Hoover tells the farmers that
they will be better off when the crisis
is over, and meanwhile all that can
be done for them is petty things like
commissions to teach better use Of
land, inland waterways, more loans
which are a mortgage on the farm
ers' land, etc. Roosevelt puts up the
same program, in effect, and also in
sists he can do little for the farmers.
Jobless Insurance.
Neither Hoover nor Roosevelt pro
pose unemployment insurance at the
expense of the employers and the
government.
Ford gave RooseVelt's history as
political agent for Wall Street, and
showed how he proposed the same
gifts of millions of dollars to rail-
roads and big bankers, along with
wage cuts for railroad and all other
workers, and nothing for relief.
Who Pays?
Ford took up the question Of prices
paid the farmers for food, and show
ed how many times redoubled the
price was when workers bought food
from the stores. Here in Iowa the
milk trust pays farmers about Q
cents a quart for milk, and the city
worker has to pay the trust ten cents
quart. The cost of bottling and
transporting is at the very most, less
than one cent a quart.
A farmer in Des Moines market
gets 20 cents for a dozen eggs, and
three and half cents a pound for
hogs. The Des Moines worker can
get two eggs, three slices of bacon
and some toast and coffee, for IS
cents.
The farmer sells so pounds of corn
for II cents, and the worker pays
Is cents for a pound of it in the
form of corn flakes, the cost Of man
ufacture being about two cents.
Less Than Living
To make a living, the farmer has
to get 90 cents a bushel for corn,
and he gets II cents. He needs 40
cents a bushel for oats, and he gets
II cents. He must have $135 cents
bushel for wheat, and he gets 81
cents. He needs II cents a pound
for hogs, and he gets three and
half cents.
Unite Jobless And Farmers
Against the bankers and trusts the
Communist candidate called for
hunger marchers of farmers and I'M
employed workers together to the
local government Offices, with de
mands for relief. and he called for
mass resistance to seizure of land OF
crops for taxes or debts.

president.
Hoover was at the same time speak
ing to a hand-picked crowd of Re-
publican ward bosses and party
workers, admitted to the Coliseum by
invitation card only. Hoover came
into Des Moines guarded by serried
ranks of state militia and plain
clothes secret service men. The
marching farmers were blocked by
militia blocks away from the station.
Masses Welcome Communist.
Ford's meeting was exactly the OPP
posite. This Negro worker, the first
Negro to ever be nominated for the
presidency, had no wall Of bay
onets between him and the voters,
nor did he need any. Such police as
we're at his meeting were not there
to protect him. but we're sent with
hostile intention.
Ford spoke in the Jewish Commu-
nifty Center. He pointed out that
Hoover was here as the representa-
tive of Wall Street. that Hoover came
in an effort to stem the anger of the
impoverished farmers and starving
workers.
Machine Gun Government
The Communist candidate described
the terror used by the government
against the farm strikers, and showed
it is the same as is used against the
workers struggles for relief and
against wage cuts, the same as was
used in the attack on the bonus
marchers in Washington.
Mass Picketing."
Organize the unemployed workers
of the cities and the farmers for
united mass picketing for higher
prices to the farmers and lower
prices to the workers, said Ford
"Only mass picketing will win your
strikes"
I'm the three years that Hoover
has been president there has been a
vast increase in mass suffering. sui
cides, hunger and unemployment
proving with figures, most of them
from the governments own fact find
ing bodies. that the hunger and mis-
cry will be greater this year than
ever, Ford gave the lie direct to Hoo
ver's statement then being made
that neither farmer nor worker has
anything to fear now because y,
says Hoover, "have stopped the crisis
and everything is all right now!"
Roosevelt lie Hoover
Ford also took up Roosevelt's pro-
gram as being identical with that OF
Hoover. Hoover yesterday boosted
that he had prevented payment OF
the soldiers bonus; Roosevelt is still
silent about it, did not protest Bloody

z. Foster, Communist nominee for
president. Foster is still too ill to
speak, but is recovering and will
probably address some meetings later
in the campaign. At each meeting,
workers invariably pass resolutions
extending greetings and sympathy to
Foster, inviting him to speak to them
at the earliest possible time, and
pledging to vote for Foster and Ford
in this election.
Negro White Unity.
Chattanooga is right in the solid
South, with it's Jim-Cro laws and
all kinds of schemes to divide the
white and Negro workers, terrorize
the Negroes and exploit both. Hatha-
way made the central point of his
speech the need for Negro and white
unity, in the fight against starvation,
for relief and insurance, against
wage cuts, and against terror. He
outlined the campaign for full Ne
gro equality, waged relentlessly by the
Communist Party on every front. He
described the need of Negro work
ers and farmers for self-deternina-
ton in the Black Belt, which is the
southern territory where Negroes are
in the majority. The Communist
plan for elf-determination means
that such territories would be brought
together in one state, in which the
Negroes could administer and make
the laws, any laws they want to.
Criticizes Boss Parties.
Hathaway showed how the Repub-
lican, Democratic and Socialist Par
ties all discriminate against the Ne
groes, how neither of them has any
program for united struggle for win
ter relief, or any kind of relief for
the jobless-instead they try to smash
the struggles of the unemployed.
Literature was sold and new con-
facts were found with workers ready
to take part in the struggle.
Although threats to attack the
meeting did not come true, some pro-
vocateur threw a brick from outside
through the window at Hathaway. 1t
did no damage to either speaker or
meeting, the workers inside refusing
to lose morale or be disturbed.

"the forces of American race prcju-

They have denounced all rumors to
