Ira. IN CALL To
WORLDS TOILERS
Urges Increased Fight
for Scottsboro 9

NEW YORK.-A call TO the toilers
OF the world to intensity the fight
for the freedom of the Scottsboro
boys has just been issued by the In
ternational Red Aid, of which The
International Labor Defense is the
American section, to every one OF its
sections in seventy-one countries.
The call analyses the decision Of
the U. s. Supreme Court, showing
that American imperialism, from
this very decision which was forced
out OF the court of last illusions by
the pressure of the workers of the
world, hopes to weaken the defense
of the workers, to dull their vigilance
SO that they will slacken the cam
paign and thereby enable the lynch
ers to carry through their murder
plans.
ITO slacken .tss international cam
paign at this period" the call points
out, means to destroy all that has
already been accomplished, and to
hand over the Negro boys to sure
death at the hands of the Alabama,
Iynchers. 1t is more essential than
ever to raise this campaign to new
high level, modifying wider and
wider masses of toilers into struggle,
to intensity the wrath and indigna-
lion of the masses.
THE name of Comrade j. Louis
Engdahi, who died in Moscow on
Nov. 81, must forever be associated
With this campaign. It was directly
as a consequence of the strenuous
fight he put UP on behalf of the
Scottshoro boys, particularly in rela-
Jon to the European tour, that UNI
derrnined his strength and health,
that made him an easy victim to
pneumonia which he constacted
TN reality he is also one of the
Ecottsboro victims, murdered bv
American imperialism. His name will
go down in working class history as
one who valiantly fought for the
unity OF black and white workers, as
one who gave all his life for the
struggle against the persecution and
oppression OF the black race, as one
who gave his life for the freedom of
The Scottsboro boys in Alabama. Let
his life be an inspiration to the toll
elE throughout the world, to inten-
ssfy the struggle, to carry on the
battle, until we have finally achieved
what Comrade Engdahi strenuously
fought for, the unconditional release
Of the Scottsboro Negro boys"

SIX STATES IN
BIG WAR MOVES
South American Wars
Spreading

The armed forces OF -four South
American governments are rapidly
converging on the Leticia region for
participation in the undeclared war
now raging between Colombia and
Peru. The war arises out of the
catastrophe economic crisis OF world
capitalism and the increasingly Bit
ter rivalry between u S. and British
imperialists over control of markets
and natural resources Of these semi
colonial countries.
Prepared for Major Conflict,
Ten thousand troops, II warships
and AZ fighting planes are already
gathered at the scene of the con-
flict. These forces represent the
governments of Colombia, Brazil,
Eucador and Peru and the imperial
ist bandits dominating those govern
ments The first three are domin-
ated by the Wall Street imperialists,
who are the main instigators of the
undeclared war at Leticia as well as
the undeclared war further south be-
tween Bolivia and Paraguay.
Brazil has two warships, six planes
and 1000 troops at the scene of the
armed struggle. General Almerido
dc .RIeura commander spf The mort y
eril military district of Brazil, is pro-
ceeding to the scene with his entire
staff, Additional Brazilian troops
are moving TO the frontiers. Peru
has 5000 troops with 10 fighting
planes on hand, and is rapidly mob
ilizing other forces. Colombia has an
undetermined number of troops and
several warshipS near Leticia, and is
rushing reinforcements up the ANA
zon River ON gunboats and trans
ports purchased in this country with
the knowledge and consent of the
Washington government. The gov
eminent Of Ecuador has mobilized
troops on the Peruvian border in
support of the war moves of Colon
bia and Brazil.
In the south, where the Gran
Chaca war is raging with unabated
intensity, the Argentina government
is moving additional troops to the
frontier in preparation to give active
aid to Paraguay, whose forces have
recently suffered serious reverses as
a result of the arrival of huge war
supplies from the U. S. for the Boil
Wan troops. The governments of
Argentina and Paraguay are under
British influence.
The Chilean government, which is
also a pawn in the struggle between
the two imrsrialist rivals and is
faced with increasing struggles of the
masses against starvation, is prepar-
ing to side with Colombia, Brazil and
Ecuador against Peru. Both Chile
and Brazil are expected to also enter
the Gran Chaca war should the Ar
gentina government carry out its
present plans to aid Paraguay.
Protest Boss Wars.
The toiling masses Of the Swo
American continents must answer
the war mongers with stern resist
ance against imperialist war. The
American Committee for Struggle
Against War has called protest
meeting for January 10 at Trvr 9
Plaza, to protest against the activi-
ties of U. S. imperialists in arming
their puppet states in South America
and to mobilize support for the South
American Anti-War Congress called
for Feb. % at Monteyideo, Uruguay.

Daily Plays Big Role
The Daily Worker is playing a
tremendous role in this exposure and
in rallying the southern white and
Negro masses to the support and
defense of the struggles of the Negro
troopers and exploited farmers. Cop
les of the Daily are eagerly read
by Negro and white workers and poor
farmers. Expressions of solidarity
with the Negro masses continue to
pour in from white workers and poor
farmers.
The funeral will be headed by the
wives of number OF the choppers,
including the families of the two
murdered leaders. The procession
will proceed through the Negro and
white working-class districts. All in
dications point TO tremendous out
pouring of the masses at the Genet
cry, where they will be addressed by
Negro and white speakers.
Forty thousand additional leaflets
have been issued for the mass fun
eral, calling upon all workers and
their organizations, and upon all
elements opposed to lynching and
