mass meetings held on Wedn'
haitian and the Bronx at viii
brated the seventeenth anniv
luton and demonstrated their un-'
dying solidarity with the proletariat
OF the Soviet Union.
Browder In the Bronx
A total Of 1000 at the largest Of
the meetings, in the Bronx Coli
seum, heard Earl Browder, general
secretary Of the Communist Party,
deliver a gripping address in which
he pointed to the revolution Of the
Russian working class as a living
example OF the way out Of eco
homie crisis which must be taken by
American workers.
Ford In Brooklyn
In Brooklyn, 5000 workers
cheered James w. Ford, section or
ganizer Of the Communist Party in
Harlem, when he reminded them
that TIE Russian revolution had
ended the oppression Of racial and
national minorities in that country
and recalled the words Of Karl
Marx that Labor in a white skin
cannot be free while labor in black
skin is branded"
The three other meetings were in
Arcadia Hall, attended by 5000, In
Cooper Union, attended by 2,0oo and
in Rockland Palace, attended by
more than 1900
Speaking of the elections, Brow
der analyzed the vote in terms Of
what results it will have for Amer
lean workers. He pointed out that
the victories of the Democratic
Party in the elections over the Re-
pubhcans IN no way solved the
problems Of the jobless and Of the
underpaid employed workers. The
New Deal administration will con-
tinue to force company unionism,
wage cuts and relief cuts on the
working class, Browder said, and the
working class will increase It's re-
sistance to these attacks.
What would the workers in the
OOFACI OAAlOaA soy 0tOMncA dsohCu,
If the brain trust came to them
and said, we will solve your need
for greater food production by de-
stroying one-third Of what you
have. We will solve your need for
more clothing, building materials,
houses, by closing down factories
and taking millions of you out of
the economic life Of the country
In the Soviet Union such proposals
would win the brain trust not places
in the government, but permanent
quarters in an insane asylum"
Browder summed up the differ
ences between capitalist America
and the Soviet Union by saying:
The more we in America pro-
duce, the worse OF we are while in
the Soviet Union, the more the
workers produce the more they
have"
Cites U. s. s. n. Advances
He cited the tremendous ad-
vances in production made by the
Russian working class and the cor
responding rise in living standards,
as contraSted with declining pro-
duction and falling living standards
throughout the rest of the capitalist
world.
He took occasion to reduce to alb
surdity the argument offered by
anti-Working class forces that Com
munism is un-Arnerican.
On ETog1a than all
that Communism is I'M French. in
England they tell them it is I'M
British, but the simple truth is that
throughout the world Communism
is un-capitalist but pro-working
class, and for this reason Commu-
nism is the common bulwark of the
working class against capitalist ex-
ploltation everywhere"
Browder reminded the assembled
workers that one of the most i'm
portant tasks confronting them was
the continued struggle for the unity
of all working class elements In the
tight against entrenched fascism
abroad and the growing threat of
FasciSm at home.
He held up the example of Com
munist, Socialist and Syndicalist
unity in Spain against the armed
onslaughts Of the Robes govern
ment as a splendid example for the
revolutionary proletariat everywhere.
Referring again to the question of
"Amertcanisnn" Browder said:
We are the only real heirs of
the boys Of 1776 who took arms to
overthrow the rule of King George
III, which was choking the produc-
tive forces of that period. Today
when capitalist rule is again para
lying production, we can find our
way out of the crisis only by mo-
bilizing the greatest possible sec
tons Of the working class to press
forward to our own November
Seventh"
