Socialist Leaders Call for Crusade Against USSR

This activity was also to be seen at
the so-called Conference of National
Minorities In Geneva. In Poland it
self it enjoyed benevolent liberation
on the part of the authorities, who
saw in it welcome counterweight to
their official policy Of rapproche-
ment to the Soviet Union.
Socialist Parties Cr'l for Armed
Intervention
The various sociai-democratic
grOups affiliated to the Second Inter
national occupy an important place
in this counter reyolutionary Ukrain-
ian front. In particular they Joined
in the campaign led by Hitler and
the Vatican against the so-called
famine in the Soviet Ukraine"
which campaign was supported by
the social democratic press organs in
all countries.
At the meeting Of the Executive
Of the Second International which
was held preparatory to the Paris
Conference in August, the question
of a crusade against the Soviet
Union for saving the starving and
fettered Ukraine" was raised by
Fedenko, a member Of the Executive,
who represents the wllite-guardist
en1igrant center in Prague and al
the same time the Ukrainian social

by uncoverng the plot OF the N r. representative
and the chief Of police to take Solomon Tor ride, and
Immediately served notice that the chief OF police
would be held responsible for Solomons safety by all
OF the strikers. The strikers refused to allow the red
scare to disrupt their ranks. They knew that their
leaders were carrying militant and effective hght
In Gallup, the NRA. representative Moore tried to
bring the United Mine Workers Of America into the
situation and isolate the National Miners Union. But
the strikers refused to desert their militant fighting
union and stayed on strike until settlement was
won. In both strikes the rank and file through their
elected strike committees, conducted their strikes
THE fact that these two strikes were in the face
Of an extreme terror in the case OF Gallup in the
face OF stringent martial law is the best proof that
when the cred scare" is answered by an exposure Of
the strkebreaking role Of the misleaders of the A. F.

class struggle unions strikes can be won.
Not only have the strikers victory but also
the organizatonal groundwork has been laid whereby
nsde the shops when the strikers have returned the
conditions Of the settlement be enforced, and
gains made in wages and better conditions. The left
wing unions, with lighting class struggle policy have
through the strikes with increased membership.
IN BOTH strikes, the difference between the betrayal
policy Of the A. f. Of L. and the fighting working
class policy Of the TUU.L. has been made clear to
the workers The role Of the Communist Party the
Party leading all the workers struggles has been
brought forward in both strikes. In Goversvine, at
the November Soviet anniversary meeting number
OF strikers joined the Communist Party. The leaders
Of the strike have repeatedly explained the role Of
the Party. AS result, the Party has increased in
membership, and will be in better position to lead
the work of the union inside the shops.

To fail to meet the red scare, to hide the role and
the face Of the Party, this would have meant the
weakening OF the leadership OF the strikes and would
have given the employers agents. the A. F. OF L. Of

Only by the Communist Party as organization and
its members individually, playing a leading role In
these strikes the strikers able to defeat the ter

Roosevelt Plans
More BOuntieS to
Big Corporations

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Further
huge subsidies to industry through
the RIG. and still further cheaper
ing Of the dollar, is the program that
Roosevelt will continue, it was said
here today.
The preparation for the coming gov
eminent re-financing of $727,696,0 600
of government bonds may result in a
temporary move on the part of the
government seemingly away from in
f1ation, in order to permit the financ-
ing to go through. This maneuver
was executed by the Roosevelt gov
eminent in the recent refunding of
the Liberty bonds. But the trend to-
ward the so per cent devaluation OF
the dollar will go on, it was con-
f1dently stated by Treasury officials.
The Roosevelt gold price remained
at $33.76 for the sixth day, giving
some confirmation that Roosevelt is
paving the way for the government
refinancing, preparatory to further
beating down of the dollar in the in
ternational exchanges, in the bitter
fight between American and British
imperialism for leadership in the
worlds markets.

only party which is courageousy and resoutely carry
ing a struggle against the national oppression OF
the Negroes which is becoming partially intense with
the developing crisis shown by the recent death sem
tence against the cottsboro Negroescan win over the
great masses Of Negroes as allies Of the proletarat
against the American bourgeosie.
THE PARTY can stand at the head Of the national
revolutionary struggle Of the Negro masses against
American imperialism only If it energeticaly carries
through the decision of the XIV penum of the Central
Committee on work among Negroes The Party must
mobilize the masses for the struggle for equal rights
Of the Negroes and for the right of sefdetermnatlon
for the Negroes in the Black Belt It must ruthlessly
combat any form of white chauvinism and Jim-CroW
practices. 1t must not only in words but in DEEDS
overcome all obstacles to the drawing in the best ee-
mens of the Negro proetarat who in the recent years
have shown themselves to be self-sacrhcng fighters
in the struggle against capital In view Of this special
attention must be given to the promotion Of Negro pro-
LIBRARIANS to leading work in the Party organizations
I'm all mass actions, strikes and unemployed strug-
giles the Party must pay particular attention that in
formulating practical demands it takes into considera-
ton and gives expression to the special forms OF ex-
poitaon, oppression and denial Of the rights Of the
employed and unemployed Negro masses At the same
time the Party and in the first place the Negro conn
rades must genuinely improve the methods Of patient
systematic but persistent struggle against the theology
and influence Of petty bourgeois nationalist among the

LIST, 8 p. m, at Manhattan Lyceun,
66 East Fourth st.
For the past Is years during which
the government of the United States
has refused to recognize the Soviet
Union ruled by the workers and peas
ants, the trade unionists Of New York

same time they vie with the open
fascist Ukrainian groups in propa-
eating the most effective" means of
combating the Soviet regime and
provoking war against the Soviet
Union.
The attempt on the life of the Cen
eraI Consul of the Soviet Union in
Lemberg in October was the result of
this propaganda. The counter-revo-
lutionary Ukrainian CAMPAIGN is only
part of the systematic campaign
against the Soviet Union which the
Second International has carried on
persistently for years. This CAM
pa,gn promotes all the imperialist
undertakings aiming at undermining
and overthrowing the Soviet Repub-
lie, and also promotes the war provo
cations of Japan, and the aggressive
plans and Vaccinations of Hitler. 1t
IS this campaign which prompted the
fascist terrorist Of Lemberg.
The moral responsibility o. the
leaders of the Second International
for the horrible assassination in Lem
berg is apparent to all. No rv''-

Jose, California, and brutality ynched the hdnappers
and murderers OF wealthy young
Immediately upon the receipt Of this Joyous news
the Governor Of California, James Rolph, Jr, issued
the following statement:
This Is the best lesson that CalfOrnta haS
given the country we show that the stats Is not
going to tolerate kidnapping"
This criminals who kidnapped and murdered the
young vicepresident of large California department
store not isolated unexpIainable social phenomena
They The product and expression Of certain phases
OF capitalist society," especially American capitalist
society.
The desire to get rich the greed for easy money
the criminal individuansm the ruthless battle for
wealth. all the insane, success" dope with which
American capitalism feeds its youth, certainly played
their part in notiyating the crimes OF the lynch
victims
Certainly 1t is significant that in the Soviet Union
whers the social cause of property greed and the
social roots Of the insane struggle for riches at the
penss Of Others has been destroyed the phenomenon
Of kidnapping for ransom is non-exstent.
Today organized criminal kidnapping for profit is
part and parcel Of the corrupt political machinery and
the underworld in every large American CITY, It is
notorious that dozens Of prominent capitalist politicians
approached to arrange the in the recent
Eindbergh kidnapping.
NHY does Governor Rolph condone the iynching OF
" the kdnappers? Is it because Of his righteous
Indignation against kidnappngf
To say so would be fantastic, for Governor Roiph
himself Is part and parcel Of Of the most Grim
inaIy corrupt political machines In Che world. Gov
ernor RoIph is of the organizers and aintaners
of Of the most notorious criminal frarneups in
history, the Tom Mooney case Governor Rolph
recently gave tacit approval and support to criminal
attacks and kidnappings Of striking agricultural
laborers in the San Juaquin Valley In California
1t is not moral fervor that inspires Governor Rolph.
It Is deliberate attempt to sanction lynchng, and
with particular eye the rising struggles Of the
tong masses in California and throughout the co,n-
try
