Comrades: want to greet the
World Congress Against Imperiahst
War not only on behalf of the Me-
gro masses in the United States, but
on behalf of the workers and poor
farmers of all races and nationalities
in America. Our fight for the lives
not only of my two sons, but OF all
the Scottsboro boys, is also strug-
gle against imperialist war, because
the Scottsboro persecution grows out
of the war preparations of the AM
erican boss class.
Thus the International Red Aid,
that is mobilizing the workers in all
countries to save the Scottsboro boys
from the electric chair, also carries
on its struggle against the growing
drive of the boss class.
Didn't Know Red Aid a Year Ago
One year ago I didn't know any
thing about the International Red
Aid. When the comrades of the Red
Aid came to me in Chattanooga, Ten
nessee, my neighbors said, ada,
have nothing to do with the reds.
Stay away from the reds" But, I
see today again, as I have seen
through the many months in the
United States, and through the
Scottsboro tour in Europe, that it is
the broad masses of the militant
workers that lead in the growing
campaign against the judicial lynch
ing of our children in Scottsboro.
The International Red Aid, that

fights against the persecution Of the
oppressed toiling masses in the CAPT
talist, colonial and semi-colonial
countries, therefore not. only greets
this World Congress, but is an active
part of the Congress and of the
struggle against war.
Large numbers of delegates from
Red Aid organizations sit as delegates
in this Congress. But the Red Aid
invites and urges all delegates here,
when they go back to their various
countries, to join in the mobilization
for the World Congress of the Inter
national Red Aid to be held in Mos
COW in November. This World Con-
gress, I assure you, will be not only
a mobilization against the growing
prosecutions of workers everywhere,
in all boss class countries, in the
colonies and semicolonies, not only
the raising of a greater struggle
against the growing terror, not only
an intensification Of the fight against
fascisn, but is also a worldwide mo-
bilization of the masses against the
imperialist war and for the defense
of the Soviet Union.
In the center of this struggle we see
the fight for the lives of our Scots
boro children, for the freeing of
Mooney and Billings and against the
deportation terror in America:
against the bestial murder of Sallai
and Fuerst in Hungary, for the free
ing of Karikas and the other pris-
oners, for the unconditional liberia

Negro Family Gets
Relief After Short
Struggle in Buffalo

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 26-On the
top of general cut in city relief,
ranging from 10 per cent to so per
cent on grocery orders, the City
Welfare is using every possible trick
to get out of paying the rent for
needy families There is a drive on
now to force two and three families
into one apartment. Families are
told to get rid of their furniture and
move into one and two rooms with
other families. If the family refuses
to be herded in like cattle. it is
evicted. Evictions are taking place
every day in Buffalo, and it is always
the Negro families who get the worst
treatment and are the first to be
evicted.
Yesterday, q Negro family with
four small children and a sick baby
in the mothers arms were eVicted at
178 Pratt st. The welfare visitor,
vicious Negro batting white woman,
had persistently refused the family
any relief or rent, since the husband
got a&"jop" at Sc a week. AS soon
as the Unemployed Council heard of
the eviction, a meeting was called to
rally the neighbors and fight the
case. In the middle of the meet
ing a special investigator of the
City Welfare appeared in big auto

A new company took out a con-

i. S. AIDS JAPAN'S
ATTACK ON CHINA.
Tries Crush Anti War
Protests of Workers

BALTIMORE, Mr., Sept. 26.-The
Washington courts have denied the
appeal of 9 of the workers sentenced
Tor participating in an anti-war dem
onstration before the Japanese EN-
bassy in Washington several months
ago. They have been ordered to be-
gin serving sentences of from 30 to
60 days in the Aquan Prison, Vir-
ginia.
The jailed workers were among
those brutally beaten UP by the
Washington police in a vicious attack
on the anti-war demonstration which
was held to protest against the rob-
Der war of Japanese imperialism
against the Chinese people. Through
the corporation of the U. S. State
Department with the Japanese i'm
perialists, Washington police were
concealed in the basement of the
Japanese Embassy, from which they
launched their attack on the dem
onstration.
Joan Hardy, member of the
Young Communist League, was
knocked down by a policeman and
savagely beaten up by several of the
police thugs. She is among those
now sentenced to prison. Others in
clude Marie Grossman, young needle
worker, and Kennedy, a marine
worker.
The boss papers are maintaining
silence about the sentences iecause of
the political significance of this at
tack by the Washington government

tuals protesting against the Japanese

I get double time. I worked one rest

When you fight against the terror
and for the release Of the class-war
prisoners you also fight against the
imperialist war.
1t is the Scottsboro campaign in
Europe especially that forced the
United States Supreme Court, that
refused to hear the appeal in the
co-Vanzetti persecution, to agree
to review the brutal death sentences
against our Scottsboro boys in Ala
bana. This appeal will be heard on
Oct 10 This is not far off. I am
sure this congress will mark new
high point in our struggle to force
the judicial lynchers in America to
loosen their grip upon the lives OF
our children. Join the Scottsboro-
Mooney campaign in your various
countries. L make this appeal to all
the delegates here, build Scottsboro-
Mooney Committees, join the Inter
national Red Aid and help prepare
for its world congress in November.
I want to extend my own apprecia-
ton to all those here who helped
build the Scottsboro struggle in the
thirteen countries that have already
visited. But the struggle must con-
tinue and grow.

of the Scottsboro children! I assure
you it is the fight for all our COM
rades in prison. I assure you, also,
it is the fight against fascism, against

French is also responsible for 9
farcical trial, in which ten workers
