Court to Sentence
4 Anti-Lynching
Fighters Today
Four Young Workers
Found Guilty" of
ScottsboroProtest

NEW YORK.-USing the courts OF
the ruling class as a tribunal from
which to expose the Scottsboro frame
up, four Young Communist League
members, arrested last Saturday night
for protesting the Decatur lynch ver-
diets in the Times So. area, yester-
day repeated their protests in the
w. 54th St Magistrate Court, defying
the attempts Of Magistrate H. Stenley
Reynault and the assistant district
attorney to silence them.
The four young workers, Shirley
Cooperman, Ben Secundy, Jack Ros-
enberg and Bill Friedman, had been
arrested and brutally beaten up by
the police after they had chained
themselves to lamp posts in the Times
So. area and spoke for an hour and
half against the Decatur verdict
The four defendants, taking the wit
ness stand, repeated their denuncia-
tions of the lynch verdict and called
for united struggle Of Negro and
white workers against the growing
lynch wave.
Magistrate ReynaulU, who had Just
sentenced 60 homeless workers to two
days in jail for having taken refuge
in passage in the Queens subway
last Sunday night, lost no time in
finding them guilty, and remanded
them for finger-printing.
On the protest Of LID. Attorney
Schriftman, the finger-printing was
postponed to this morning to enable
him to apply to Supreme Court JUS
Jice Wasservogel for a hearing on the
right of the magistrate to order the
finger-printing of the young workers.
The young workers will be sentenced
this morning in the court at 314 w.
54th st. Every worker, every anti
lynchi11g fighter, must pack the court
in a mighty protest demonstration.

HIS CREDIT IS GOOD

CALAMITY howlers to the contrary, Uncle
~ Sans credit is just about 500 per cent
good
Without benefit of the much discussed gold
clause, the governments $1,OOOOOO0OO security
issue just has been oversubscribed fvefold
The treasurys books were open onlv three
days, yet returns from the Federal Reserve
banks indicate that subscriptions totaled more
than $5OoO,OOo,OOO, many in amounts of less
than $4,000.
Interesting is the fact that half of the
issue is in notes bearing only 27s per cent
interest and s4Oo,OOOOOO is in nine-month
certificates of p per cent interest
Contrast this with the condition of March
1, when $75,Oo0o0o worth of ninety-three day
treasury bills were offered at an average rate
Of 4.25 per cent interest, and only $94 1o1 900
worth were subscribed
The present happy credit position is due
to three circumstances. The first is our large
gold reserve of more than $4,O0o00O 900, which
has been conserved by the governments action
in going off the gold standard The second
is the insistence by the administration that
the budget be balanced, and its refusal to
take the easy but perilous paths of uncon-
trolled currency imitation
The third is a general confidence in the
industrial recovery policies of President
Roosevelt and the nations faith in his states
manship.
The popular response to this latest Sc
curity issue gives assurance that the great
public works program will be financed easily.
1t also gives rise to the hope that portion
of the $8,OO00OOO in Liberty loans can be
refunded at interest rates considerably lower
than the 315 to per cent we now pay

LIBERTY FOR LIBERIA

DEACE organizations and the National
L Association for the Advancement of Col
ored People are protesting the state depart
ments reported policy of forcing an American
adviser upon the Liberian government. The
protests are in order.
The United States government already has
enough trouble at home and abroad without
embarking on a new venture in Imperialism.
The Firestone loan and concession should not
put the Washington government in the posi-
ton of asking special privileges in Liberia,
or of exercising there any kind of dictatorship,
open or disguised.
Liberia has asked the League of Nations
committee, which is meeting in London with
an American representative, to name as chief
foreign adviser for Liberia a citizen of some
nation which neither has nor seeks Liberian
concessions.
That is a reasonable request 1t should
rule out not only the United States, but also
Great Britain and France and the other i'm
perialistic powers.

pleasant frame of mind; between
the next two courses one introduces
insidiously the real reason for hav-
ing the luncheon, and just before
the dessert one leads up to the final
proposition to be discussed.
After the dessert, when there is a
pleasant feeling Of satiation, the
prospect is induced to smoke a fairly
heavy cigar and, in those circum-
stances, can easily be brought to
sign the papers.
From the point of view of health,
luncheons mixed with business are
not recommended. The psychology
of digestion is alsomst as important
as its physiology.
A feeling of appetite brings about
flow of the gastric juice, a period
of rest gives proper time for re-
taxation and recovery from ex-
haustion, both of the brain and of
the muscle cells.
A walk in the outdoors means
oxygenation of the blood, and per-
haps aids digestion.
1t would not be unusual however,
if the President of the United
States weakened his digestion in
attending to business of the govern
ment during luncheon.
The job, as revealed by the lives
of men who have held it in recent
years, is one which taxes to the ut
most the mental and physical ca
pacity under even the most favor
able of conditions.

suddenly I feel certain that he

But there was nothing about Max
Baer to suggest primitive man. He
was attired in tail coat He held
his little finger extended as he

A lovely lady-presunably a
Junior Leaguer-sat across the table
from him. Although I was not
close enough to eavesdrop, I got
the distinct impression that they
were discussing literature. Mr..
Baer, 1 gathered, was defending

of the better waltzes, Max Baer
arose and danced dangerously and
with distinction.
