some Of our greatest technical achievements are asso-
ciated with the names Of representatives American
technique and industry.
Moreover the great interest in the Soviet Union
felt in the United States is testified to by the nuner
Gus visits Of leaders Of American science technique and
art and by the innumerable books devoted to the
Soviet Union in the United States. All these things
show that there is already solid base for economic
scientific and cultural cooperation which should be of
advantage to both countries.
Although there are yet no official contacts our
countries have always felt continue to feel that
they are united by common aspirations for peace
The efforts OF both countries for the preservation of
peace have so far proceeded along parallel lines bit
The absence OF normal means Of continuous intercourse
has prevented that linking of these efforts which
would have made them one Of the most solid guaran-
tees OF peace. The opinion expressed all the
world on the messages which passed between our
Presidents have shown the hopes raised among all
the friends OF peace and the fears felt by the adver
sares of peace at the very thought the establish
ment Of solid friendly relations between the peoples
OF the two greatest republics in the world
All these things encourage me to nourish the most
sangne hopes as to the outcome of the mission placed
upon me, and as to the future of Soviet-American
relations. 1t seems to me that what we have to do
now is only, so to say, to legalize and to give an
official expression to that reciprocal gravation of two
nations which had conflicts in the past and cannot
anticipate them in the future of the numerous symp-
toms Of which 1 have jus. spoken. My mission Is
moreover rendered easier By the fact that the quea-
tons to be discussed batwe5n your President and my
self have had nnume1abe precedents during the
establishment of nornsl relations and peaceful CO.
operation between the Soviet Union and number of
other countries and that the Soviet Governments att-
tude to these questions has long been welknown to
the world
The sympathy with which President Rooseyets
initiative has been rscesd b. the American press and
public opinion makes me hope that the American press
will extend its sympathy and assistance to those fur
their steps towards the completion OF establishment of
Soviet-Amcrican official relations which may be the
result OF my conversations with your President, and,
secure in this hope want to thank you in advance

PROBE ARMWOOD MURDER;
CRAWFORD LYN>H TRIAL ON.
Names of Lynchers to
Be Presented at
Public Trial


NEW YORK.-A provisional COM
nittee to help in the Investigation
If the fiendish lynching Of George
-Armwood, Negro worker, on the
Eastern Shore OF Maryland on Oct.
IS, was formed yesterday at a pre-
Iiminary meeting at which were
present representatives of several
working-class and Negro organiza-
lions, writer's and university profess
sors.
The provisional committee will
also aid the work Of a similar COM
nittee formed in Baltimore in the
preparation for the anti-Lynching

city, Nov. is and 10. Of the officials
and leading citizens exposed in the
affidavit Of Captain Spencer, pub
lished in the Daily Worker, as the
meters and leaders of the mob which
took Armwood out of the Princess
Anne jail and lynched him, after a
leisurely procession through the main
streets OF the town, during which
Armwocd was subjected to the most
brutal tortures.
Another meeting of the local COM
mittee will be held this Friday after
neon and evening, after which the
committee will give out the names
of it's members, which already in
clude many persons Of national
prominence.
The committee plans to coordinate
the mass of available material on the
more than 40 reported lynchings
which have already taken place this
year for presentation to the public
trial and mass meeting on Nov. Is,
which will be followed the next day
by a regional anti-lynching confer
ence with delegates from scores OF
Eastern cities. The committee will
also develop new lines of investiga-
ton in an attempt to gather material
on the scores of unreported lynch
ings. ignored by the capitalist press
which, in some sections OF the coun-
try. no longer considers as news the
frequent lynchings of Negroes. Under
the impetus of the N. R. A. attacks
on the working class, lynchings are
rapidly increasing throughout the
whole country, with the courts openly
aiding mob lynchings, as at Tusca-
loosa, Ala, and carrying through
lynchings in a legal manner, as in
the case of Fuel Lee. Maryland,
The League of Struggle for Negro
Pights and the International Labor
Defense are jointly appealing to all
mass organizations, trade unions,
churches, cultural clubs, etc, to send
one delegate from each branch to
the anticipating Conference in
Baltimore. The total expenses for
each delegate is only 81. Delegates
are urged to register not later than
wednesday, Nov. Is, at the Harlem
Liberator, organ of the L. S. N. r.,

Mission in the United States

NEW YoRK.-As he set foot on American soil
this afternoon, M. Ltvinov, envoy from the Soviet
Union, today issued statement relating to the com

ing recognition of the Soviet Union. The statement
follows
| AM setting foot today the territory of the great
American Republic with keen Of the privilege
that Is mine in being the first official representative
to bring greetings to the American people from the
peoples OF the Soviet Union. 1 realize that I am in
a way, making the first breach in that artificial
barrier which has for Is years prevented normal inter-
course between the peoples of two countries The
object of my visit has become common knowledge
through the publication of the messages which passed
between President Roosevelt and Mr.. Kalinn. The
anomalous nature of the situation during the last Is
years has been recognized by both sides and the
first step taken towards clearing it up Everybody
now realizes that this situation has no good to
either side, and the it becomes thing of the
past the better for us all! I am looking forward to
the pleasure and honor OF making the acquaintance
OF your President who has given yet another proof
of his wisdom and broad views by taking the initiative
in addressing Mr.. Kalnin. I also will be very glad
to renew my acquaintance with the Secretary of State
Mr.. Corde Hull, whom had the pleasure of meeting
at the London Economic Conference.

arrangement hitherto existing, since in point of fact
the peoples of republics have never ceased to
follow each others development with the utmost

Shoe Bosses Evade
NRA Strike Accord
Refuse to Settle With
Strike Committees

NEW YORK.-In conformity with
the terms of the National Labor
Boards decision in the shoe strike,
elected committees Of shoe strikers
went to their shops yesterday to con-
fer with employers regarding condi-
lions under which the workers return
to their jobs,
Many shops were closed due to city
election. In the majority of the shops
where the workers succeeded in in
terviewing employers, the employers
pleaded ignorance of the MIRA. de-
cision or declared they have nothing
to do with it. Some employers said
they were waiting for an interpreta-
ton.
For example, in the Meyer shop
the workers committee was informed
that no official decision had been
received as yet. Meyer fatty refused
to fire his scabS. AT the Poulter shop,
the boss also stated he had received
no official decision and cynically ad-
vised the workers to go to the Ma
tional Labor Board for jobs.
At the Delman shop, the employers
informed the committee that they
are dissatisfied with the decision and
intend to appeal certain points. They
refused to give up the Boot and Shoe
Union. AT the Comfort Slipper Shop,
one OF the largest in the trade, the
employer declared he would take the
workers back as soon as possible, i'm
plying that he would reemploy them
individually.
The Carbon and Baker shop, how
ever, settled with the shop committee
yesterday.

to meet Litvinov early this morning.
They talked of nothing but him all
day-and some few did arrive at
friendly arguments on the subject
of Communism versus capitalism.
It was while the Cutter Hudson"
chugged toward the tBerengaria that
young Boston newspaper woman in
troduced the question of Lityinov's
taste for cucumbers. She drew the
attention of all in the crowded cabin
by volunteering the story of how she
recognized the commissar While he
was eating cucumbsrs, last August
on a train enroute from Warsaw to
Moscow. Having letter Of introduc-
ton from a French friend who knew
Litvinoy, the girl was able to engage
him in conversation, she reported,
and she asked him about the Gu
cumbers, warning that they are "in-
digestible.
MY dear child" she quoted him
as replying, Eve been eating cucum-
bers for the better part of my 81
years, and since I haven't had indi-
gestion yet, L certainly shall not
now"
The same young lady, however,
was indifferent toward Litvinoff's po-
litical thought-until she discovered
that the Daily Worker was repre-
sented abroad. Then she asked: who
owns the Daily Worker?"
There were no cucumberS on the
elaborate printed menu folder which
the Pennsylvania Railroad presented
to Litvinov and others on the spe-
cial train-only many suggestions for
anchcvy toast, etc., within a cover
on which was printed: "Trip of MAJ
i'm M. Litvinov, Assistant Peoples
Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the
US.S.R." An ink line had bsen drawn
through the first line by some tar
oily informed official.
