THE N.A.A.C.P. PREPARES NEW BETRAYALS
OF THE NEGRO MASSES

the cry of 'red menace" even louder than the
lynchers themselves, they tried to make it appear
that the main enemies Of the Negro masses we're
not the ruling -class lynchers and their fascist
agents, but the Communists and the revolutionary
organizations, in their manner completely abb
solving the imperialist hangmsn i'll their muir
derous attacks upon the Negro masses sinful
taneously and with the active support OF the
bourgeois courts and police officials, they re-
sorted to the most foul and villainous means TO
wrest the authorized legal defense OF the. boys
from the International Labor Defense. In this
manner they ATTEMPTED to disorganize the re-
evolutionary mass movement isolate the revolu-
tionary organizations, thus furnishing cloak for
the ruling-class ynchers to carry out their bloody
work In BRIEF their attacks we're directed not
against the violence and lynch terror Of the
capitalists, but against the resistance of the
masses, Moreover, they actually joined with
the lynchers for the physical suppression of the
Negro masses. In Chicago and Pittsburgh,
Pickens and other N. A. A.. c. P. takers were
instrumental in having white and Negro workers
jailed for protesting against the Scottsboro
lynch-verdicts. In Chicago, the massacre by
the police of Negro unemployed workers was
provoked by local N. A. A. G. P. misleaders acting
in concert with Negro and white landlords and
the city administration. They helped the Mary

Orphan jones', their Baltimore attorney and
representative declaring his belief" that Fuel
Lee was guilty even before the lynch-courts treid
him.
Their great white friend barrow, who sits
In the executive councils of the N. A. "A c. p,
member of the national board, is now fully
exposed as an agent of U. S. Imperialism and
its most vicious and reactionary clique a clique
which carries out the most despcable proyoca-
ton against the Hawaiian masses aineed
completely enslaving them for the purpose OF
furthering the war aims of American imperialism.
The purpose of this vicious batting Of the Ha-
waiian people is now openly admitted in the
hearings of the Senate Commission on the bill
introduced by Representative Britteh for the
.fortification of the Hawaiian Islands, and in
the provocative articles by Floyd Gibbons in the
Hearst gutter press against the Hawaiian masses.
Characteristic Of the hypocriscy OF the N A. A.
G. p. leaders is the fact that while pretending
to protest this introduction of lynch-law into
Hawaii, they are conveniently silent about the
disgusting role played by this agent OF I'M
peiiaIisn, Darrow who still remains an hon
ored member of their executive board.
Add to the incomplete list OF infanies, is
the a. -empt led by PicSens to bstray the Negro
masses into the new world Slaughter being
brewed by the imperialists. In a series OF
articles in the Negro press Pickens has att
tempted TO present the reacticnary, fsudal mill
tsrists CT Japan the murderers of Jagaqese
workers end Of the Chinese mas.es, as. The
champions" of the darker races. Thus Pickcns
to the glee Of his white irnperlaiist masters,
attempts to mobilize the Negro, masses behind
japanese Imperialism, which is today the srea.-
head of world imperialism in the criminal plans
for armed intervention against the Soviet Union
the fatharland OF all the worlds oppressed
classes and peoples. Truly this was q record
That required a great deal Of explaining" at
their 23rd annual conference.
AS result Of this open policy of betrayal
there has developed q growing Opposition among
the petty bourgeois rank and file and those
workingclass elements oevr which the N. A. a.
G. p. has Influence. This Is reflected in the
o2positions to the official policies of the leader
ship. This incipent rebellion has expressed
itself recently, especially In connections with
Scottsboro, and again in the Darrow case, where
N. A. "A. G. P. local branches have called upon
the leadership to repudiate Darrow. Thus the
Negro petty borgeois paper the Washington
World" voices this sentiment in the following
manner
I'VE reiterate that in the handling of the Sit
