ing electrocution on framed-up
rape charges.

charged, is a move calculated to
break the morale of the Scots
boro boys. At the same time the
LID. announced that it had in
structed Gen. Chamlee, chief
Scottsboro defense counsel, to pro-
coed at once to Birmingham to
see the Negro boys and to protest
against the barring of all visitors
which has resulted in the boys
being held virtually incommuni-

NATIONAL Y.P.S.L.
SEC'TARY OUSTED
Backed Mooney and
May l United Front

CHICAGO, Ill.-George Smerkin,
National Secretary of the Young
Peoples Socialist League has been
ousted from this position and from
the national committee because he
participated in the national Free
Tom Mooney Congress and in the
united front May Day demonstration.
He has held this office for year.
In his place the national committee
appointed Winston Dancis who is
secretary of the New York organi-
cation.
The Socialist Party leadership per-
Sonally directed the attack on the
Chicago Y. P. S. L. because the or
ganization participated in a united
front movement to free Tom Mooney.
This comedies with the speech of
Clarence Senior, national secretary of
the Socialist Party who accuses
Mooney on frame-up charge as a
bomber just as the San Francisco
prosecuting attorney did.

dQVerGlSeQ Larlll Truce W1SN ne re-
ferred to the present state of affairs
"a week after the truce-as chaotic.
He said: The world economic con-
ference will meet soon and must come
to its CO. clusions quickly. The world
cannot await deliberations long
drawn cut. The conference must
establish order in place Of the pre-
sent chaos"
Disarmament Conference Failure.
The total failure of the Geneva
pafley was reflected III his words:
THE disarmament conference has
laboreo for more than year and, as
yet, has been unable to reach salts
factory conclusions. Confused pur-
poses still clash dangerously"
Roosevelt then laid down the three
major points in Americas arms pro-
gram: First, to take at once the
first definite step toward this OBJ
jective, as broadly outlined in the
Macdonald plan.
Second to agree upon time and pro-
cedure for taking the following steps.
Third, to agree that while the first
and the following steps are being
taken, no nation shall increase its ex-
listing ornaments over and above the
limitations of treaty obligations"
Roosevelt followed his cabled mes
sage with a 600-word message to
congress. in which he repeated the
points outlined in his cable.
The message was aimed at Aneri-
cas- rivals, both in Europe and in the
Far East. This was UNDERSIGNED by
Representative Britten of Illinois,
leading Republican, who said. "Un-
less heroic steps are taken the Gen
eva Conference viii go up in smoke
like its predecessors. The President
is calling upon Japan, particularly, to
cease deliberate and unjustifled Of
fcnsive warfare against China"
Chairman McSwain of the House
Military Affairs Committee voiced
American imperialism's demand for
world domination, saying: Unless
the good sense of the world prevails
and the nations cooperate with the
United States in restricting arma-
ments, then the future of the world
is dark indeed" Here the real pur-
pose Of the message is revealed,
forcing Americas European rivals to
disarln while Roosevelt spends hun
dreds of millions for new warships
and arms.

Heavily Armed Trucks stopped.
All trucks carry heavily armed
guards. Usually six to ten guards
equipped with shot guns, rifles and
clubs, but the mass action of tine
farmers has thus far prevented them
getting through. The atmosphere OF
this strike is quite different than

and deputies were laughing and jok-

termination and there is no le7ity
about it.
The deputies. although armed are

After a terrific fight in which clubs,
rifle butts. and tear gas bombs were
used many were taken to the hos

bullet went through the windshield
of the truck he was operating.

have to pay additional to the farmers~
There is growing q movement, en-

Communists Must Rally for Farmers.
In the critical situation in the farm
strike area it is imperative that the
workers in the towns and cities be
mcbilized in strongest possible num-
bers to aid in the fight against the
milk trust Every district, section,
unit and fraction of the Communist
Party should get into action to COM
bat the agitation Of the capitalist

the farmers are fighting to stsrve
