Of haeJmo''n by High
Treason Trial for III
g Peoples Courts Are
Threat for All Politi-
cal Prisoners

BERLIN, May 31.-The Nazis are
placing Ill Communists on trial for
high treason" in Breslau-the big
gest mass trial against anti-fascists
since Hitler came TO power-as part
of the nationwide campaign to Gre
ate a pogrom atmosphere against
Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the Ger
man Communist Party.
This is to be only the first of a
series Of mass trials eliminating in
Thaelmann's death sentence as "the
political instigator" of these "con-
spiraeies for high treason"
Under the blood thirsty heading
"Thaelmann Must Die!" the fascist
"Deutsche Wochenschau" reports
that the Hitler Cabinet has officially
decided that the trial Of Ernst
Thaelmann is to be one of the first
cases called before the so-called
Peoples Court"
The Nazi press carries fUll-page
headlines: "Thaelmann is Guilty of
Murder" This indicates that the
legal murder of the best and clearest
leader of the German revolution has
been decided on even before the
Court" convenes.

WORKERS CAN DO 1T
"W orld Solidarity Is
Their Only Hope

NEW YORK.-"Do for the
mothers of the Scottsboro
boys what you did for me.
Restore their sons to them.
International solidarity can and
must do this"
From the Soviet Union where
she is recuperating from the ordeal
of the Nazi attempt to murder her
heroic son, the aged mother of
George Dinitroff sends this ring
ing appeal to the workers of the
whole world to save the nine inno-
cent Scottsboro boys. Mrs. Dini-
troff's appeal follows, in full
ITO the toiling masses OF the
world
ut was your many acts of soli-
darity, your protest meetings and
demonstrations in all parts Of the
world, your rallying to the support
Of the framed-up victims of the
Reichstag fire, that compelled Hit
Ter to release TanefT, Popof and
my son, George Dimitroff. For this
I do not find words to express my
gratitude. But I want you to know
that you have made me very happy.
International Solidarity Can Open
Prison Doors
'It was you who forced an I'M
willing court to bring in verdict
Of mot guilty" And when Goering
declared his intention of keeping
them in prison regardless, it was
your mighty protests and the act
Of the Soviet government in making
Dimitroff, Taneff, and Popoff citi-
zens of the toiler's Fatherland, that
forced open the prison doors and
restored them to freedom. You
have thus brought home to me more
fully than ever before what a
mighty power there is in Interna-
tional Solidarity. 1t is able to hold
eXecutioners at bay. 1t opens
prison doors. That is what you
have so deeply impressed upon my
mind.
"And now want to raise my voice
In behalf Of the nine innocent
Scottsboro Negro boys in the U. S. A.
They have been held in Jail in Ala
bama for more than three years
under constant threat Of death in
the electric chair or at the hands
of lynch mob, tllirsting for their
blood. Their only hope is in In
ternational Solidarity. Two of the
boys, Haywood Patterson and Cla-
renee Norris, have again been con-
demned to death. Their cases have
been appealed to the Alabama Su-
preme Court.
TT, mother of George Dimitroff,
therefore appeal to you, toilers of
the world, to join this movement
and demand the immediate, uncon-
ditional and safe release OF the in
nocent Negro boys.
when you demand the release
of Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the
heroic Communist Party of Ger
many, and the tens of thousands
of anti-fascists languishing in
prisons and concentration camps in
Germany and Austria, also demand
the release of the Scottsboro boys.
Send letters and resolutions to
President Roosevelt at Washington
and to the Supreme Court of Ala
bama at Montgomery, Alabama, that
they must at once order the liberia
ton of the innocent Negro boys.
do for the mothers of the Scots
boro boys what you did for me

such is my appeal to you.
