every newspaper in Nazi Germany foams
at the mouth, demanding Thaelmann's

the fiction that they will not demand the death
sentence for the leader Of the fighting German
workers.
The utter hypocrisy of this NaA statement cal
culated to quiet the storm of worldwide protests
pouring in upon Germany's shores is proved out
of their own mouths. The daily paper of the Ger
Labor Front, Der Deutsche" prints sour
rilous jingles calling for Thaelmann's beheading:
what though the is tall and strong
He still is just head too long"
This Nazi lynch call, which is duplicated by the
thousands in the German press every day. proves
that Ernst Thaelmanns life was never in greater
danger than today. The Nazis are playing double
faced game. Faced with the determined protest
of hundreds of thousands in every country of the
world, thsy tell the outside world that nothing

Open Letter in 'Pravda'
Halls the Bravery of
Arctic Expedition


MOSCOW, June 10 (By RADIO
An open letter from the workers OF
the Red Putilov, largest Leningrad
plant, to the Chelyuskin Arctic ex-
petition and their rescuers, who ar
rive here tomorrow, appears in
"Pravda" today. The oldest prole-
tartan fighters in the u. S. S. r
write:
you have proven yourselves
worthy sons of our great fatherland
you have glorified its name over the
whole world. You have passed a
severe test splendidly. Your organi-
zation and answering heroism
show unlimited love for the father
land in whose name you acted, and
proved again how dear to us is the
Soviet land, won with the blood of
workers and peasants.
During the months of your i'm
prisonment in the ice-bound Arctic,
we. and not only we, connected you
with the destiny of our country.
Millions of people somehow felt diff
ferently again, thrilling with the
great fortune of having a fatherland
capable of such heroic feats of glory
as those you accomplished.
Praises CheIyuskin's Heroism
Your heroism in the Arctic Ocean,
where you were fulfilling a task of
the party and Of the government,
discovering new routes of tremen-
dous state significance, reminded us

Gurmuk Singh and Prithvi Singh,
imprisoned and tortured in the
iails of Afghanistan for the past
year, stand out for their revolu-
tionary work and sacrifices for the
freedom of India from British i'm
perialiSm.
Since 1914, when the Lahore Con-
spiracy Case took place, these two
comrades have been bounded day
after day. At that time they were
arrested, tried" and sentenced to
death. Tremendous mass pressure
caused their death sentence to be
changed to one Of life imprison-
ment.
In 1917, while being transferred
from the Bengal to the Madras Jail.
Gurnuk Singh tried twice to escape
but without success. Heavy letters
we're put on his legs. In the third
attempt he leaped from train run
ming As miles an hour and escaped
to the jungle. 1t took him one
month to remove his letters by rub
bing them with stones, while living
on grass and leaves. Finally he
made his way to a village and the
natives raised enough money to
send him to Punjab, MS native
province.
Comrade Prithvi Singh, who had
gone through more or less the same
experiences in escaping fIom his
Jailers, met him there.
With funds raised by revolution
airy Indians they made their way
to AfghaniStan. where Amanullah.
the former king, took great interest
IN their work and gave them citi-
Zenship.
In 1928 Gurmuk Singh came to
the United States to further the in
terests of Indian freedom, but was
forced to leave the country at the
behest of British influence. He left
again for Afghanistan. AmanuI
lah was overthrown in 1929 and
Nadir Khan, puppet of British
imperialism, was made king. Prithvi
and Gurmuk Singh were forced to
flee again and settled in Germany.
Hitler's coming to power made
Germany impossible for our exiles
and they decided to go back to In
dia to help swell higher the rising
revolutionary mood of the masses
in spite of the terrors such action
held for them. They were arrested
by the Afghan government as they
were attempting to cross the border
into India, on August 7, 1888.
They have been starved, tortured,
and twice attempts were made on
their lives. What saved them so far
are the cablegrams sent by working
class organizations the world over
protesting their arrest.
In the United States many such
cables were sent and on June 20,
1884, a delegation representing Is
organizations will visit the British

Hungry, in tatters, we exterminated
the aristocracy, the landlords, CAPT

a love of our workers fatherland,
our own country, it was loyalty to
the revolutionary cause of the in
ternational proletariat.
The ruling classes have always
made the toiling people participate
in the plunderous wars to defend
the interests of the capitalists and
landlords. But that October we felt
that we ourselves were the masters
of the country. For the first time
we felt it was our own country,
worthy of the sacrifices of life, for
we loved our country and therefore
sought to defend it.
Russia then became the mother

of the events, resurrected in our
memories, of the recent past, when
we, in barbados and trenches,
saved our country from its enemies.
We, the Red Putilovites, especially
the old workers, clearly remember
the time when our splendid country
was in the clutches of the bloody
cars, landlords, and capitalists.
"Leningrad especially preserves in
its environments many monuments
which tell of oppression; the luxu-
rious palaces of cars, princes, the
aristocracy; the lavish mansions of
the bankers and capitalists, con-
Structed on the bones of the toiling
people and watered with its tears of
sorrow, caused by a ruling class of
exploiters and plunderers. Vampires
had sucked all the marrow of our
fertile land. The sun shone. the
green bloomed, the sea waves played
only for them. All of life was for
them, our enemies. We suffered be-
cause the country of our birth was
clutched< in the greedy hands of
plunderers and imposters. We did
everything to wrest the power from
the hands of those enemies, and we
have given it to the toiling people.
Those days when you Chelyuskin
heroes used the ice as airdromes,
when the Arctic rang with the noise
of the propellers of valiant Soviet
aviation, we recalled now the Putt
low workers, after the October days
in 1917, prepared armoured trains

Soviet regime. We also recall today,

HAYWOOD BROUN

It is all right for Haywood Broun
to go to Hollywood if he learns how
to act right; still I have grave mis-
givings about Utah. He will tell
on those good preachers out there
and I would not do that Why,
those preachers are stricter than
any preachers, and nobody gives
them any credit for it. Do you
know what they are going to do
make every one keep the same Old
wives in heaven. Everybody gets
the wrong impression Of Utah.
I think it is I who needs the pro-
noting: he is overeducateG now and
I am not. I have written ''the whole
United States as seen by CoSmo
Broun, but I won't let a soul see it
unless they pay me the money first.
If they once see it, they won't pay
me a thing.
Anyway, I understand why the
valet has no difficulty finding new
position. He is different, he dresses
the inside up and the outside down.
If he can make me look like Hey

once to dress me up.
