Right to Exploit

General Johnson
Basic Principles I'm
changed" Bos ton
Officials Hear

BOSTON, Aug Speaking be-
fore a meeting of NRA officials,
General johnson delivered some
striking gems of economic illiteracy
in his explanation of the present
world crisis of capitalism.
"The trouble" he said, sis that
we were lending busted foreign coun-
tries money to buy our goods. -
The General did not pause to ex-
plain that these goods had to be
exported because the workers who
produced them in this country were
too poor to buy them back.
johnson emphasized again and
again that despite all the "loose
talk" about change in the political
life of the country, "the basic prin-
ciples are the same.' BY this he
meant that the right of the capital
ist class to exploit the workers, the
rights Of private property have not
been in any way touched by the MIRA
codes. These remain the same.

ability to organize powerful mass
movement to stop this terror.
The Negro and white toilers of Ala
bama, led by the Communist Party
and the International Labor Defense
are girding themselves for decisive
struggle. They are carrying through
militant program Of action, and are
organizing themselves to smash the
New Deal lynch terror. They are de-
manding:
1. The arrest and prosecution, with
death penalty, of Judge, sheriff, dop-
uties, and all officials and others re-
sponeible for the lynchings at Tue-

which the lynchings at Tuscaloosa
Decatur, and Selma are perpetrated
THE slave-drivers see the Communist
Party and revolutionary organiza-
tons as the main obstacle to their
carrying through of the New Deal
program. Under the pressure of the
crisis and the attacks of the bosses,
the masses are rallying to the revolu-
tionary leadership of the Communist
Party as the only force offering a
fighting program in the interest of the
Negro people and white toilers. The
heroic struggles of the Share Crop
pers Union, the Unemployed Councils,
the fight for Willie Peterson and the
tremendous worldwide campaign of
the Communist Party and the Inter-
national Labor Defense for the
Scottsboro boys, has challenged the
whole system of national and class
oppression in the South and has
created new fighting spirit, new
confidence among the Negro masses.
The prestige of the slave drivers is
being undermined.
The Tuscaloosa and Decatur lynch
ings on the eve of the iiew Ecotts-
boro trials, are part of the prepara-
tions for the murder of the Scots
boro boys. Hence the sharpened and
desperate attacks upon the Commu-
mist Party and the International Labor
Defense, to behead the revolutionary
movement of the Negro and white
masses, to remove these obstacles
from the path of the lynchers.
The struggle to defeat this lynch
terror is the burning demand of the
toilers Of the South. The main

VTTHIN the past three weeks, Ala

plished in an especially savage and
spectacular manner, and with the
clearest completely of the state ap-
paratus in planning and execution.
In Tuscaloosa, three Negro boys

W one of the crudest ever seen. Even
the white papers of the town had
admitted that the girl was obviously
killed by a white man.
In Decatur, a Negro was framed on
an equally crude charge of rape" of
a woman on a public road in broad
daylight. Three attempts were made
by the armed gangsters to lynch him.
In the reign of terror let loose by
lynch gangs attempting to lynch him,
another Negro was murdered in the
Negro section of the town.
What is the meaning of this wave
of terror? This wave of lynch orgies
is for the purpose of crushing the

Wave Of Lynchings and Murders Attempt to
Force Burden of Crisis on Negroes

cotton trade, the basic money crop
Stagnation of industrial life, closing
down Of factories, mills, mines rounds
out the picture Of the ruinous extent
of the crisis in Alabama. This is
reflected in budgetary crisis of the
state, county. and city government,
which are vening on complete bank
.ruptcy.
Significantly, the State, through
Governor Miller and Attorney Gen
eral Thomas Knight were recently in
New York attempting to get a loan
from the National City Bank. The
loan was refused, the State being con-
sidered bad risk. The result is that
the whole economic situation grows
more acute for the Southern rulers.
The ruling classes of Alabama and
the entire South have turned to the
National Industrial Act for a way out
OF the crisis, by loading the burden
OF the crisis on the banks of the
masses. But it is the Negroes, as the
weakest section of the toilers-those
with the least rights-who are forced
to bear the main brunt of the crisis
and the attacks of the rulers.
The cotton plow-under program,
which is complete and legalized
swindling Of the renters, troopers and
small farmers, is part of the way out
for the landlords. The MIRA, with its
wage ,differentials between North and
South, between white and Negro
labor, with its speed-up and stagger-
plan, is looked to by the industrialists
to protect them from the ravages of
the crisis. The MIRA codes ignore
the vast number Of agricultural work.
