Workers in Killing

Use New Land to Sup

BY Burck

BERLIN, May Among the first
victims of Hitler's new terror law
will be three workers framed-up on
the charge of killing Horst Vessel,
the Nezi stool pigeon hero" who
met his death before the fascists
came to power.
Unable to bring these workers to
trial before because of the total
lack of evidence, the Nazis, under
the new law, will now try them with
all legal technicalities suspended,
The three workers facing the axe
are: Peter Stoll, a tailor; Solly Elm
stein, painter, and Hans Zeigler,
barber. The first two were arrested
last August and viciously tortured.
ziegler was framed-up in February.
The charge against the three is not
that they actually did the killing
but that they were on the street at
the time near the scene of the
shooting.
Albert Hoehler, whom the Nazis
charge with killing Horst Vessel
was tortured to death by the Nazis
soon after his Imprisonment, but the
fact that he was murdered was adj
mitted only Yesterday.

An N. R. A. Crisis

concerned,
The Roosevelt liberals and the Socialist Party
leaders had been hailing the NRA. as an attempt

To Control Yemen

LONDON, May 4.-British war
ships have entered the port of Ho-
deidah, Yemen, and are expected to
land troops soon in order to take
over the city on the pretext of
anarchy due to the murder of the
Imam and the seizure of the coun-
try by Ibn Saud, a British tool.
French and Italian gunboats sta
toned near Jebuti, Africa, are also
steaming across the Red Sea to
grab off what they can in the gen

meetings in defense of the Scots
boro boys. This right was denied
them. They should have demanded
of the president the right of the
Haitian workers to organize their
trade unions, the right to publish
their papers, the withdrawal of the
censorship. 1t would be naive on
the part of anyone to believe that
everything is going to be sweet for
the Haitian masses, because Haiti
is going to rule ITSELF" under the
watchful eye of Wall Street and
the American navy. The Roosevelt
government is now spending hun
dreds of millions of dollays for the
production of war materials for the
approaching imperialist world war,
which aims to re-divide the world
for markets for her. 1t would be
stupid to think that Wall Street is
to turn over the financial control of
Haiti to the Haitians when Haiti is
a ready-made market for American
imperialism.
One thing must be clear in our
minds. and that is that instead of
American imperialism directly ex-
plotting the Haitian masses, 1t is
going to be done through the me-
dunn of the Haitian bourgeoisie.
undoubtedly, as soon as the Haitian
workers begin to organize them
selves to fight against the exploita-
ton of the American bosses who
are now in Haiti, the subsery .ent
policy of the Haitian government
to the U.S.A. will manifest itself by
opening the most terroristic attacks
against the workers.
American and Haitian workers
must unite in demanding real, i'm
mediate and unconditional iriepen-
dence for Haiti, freed from every
tie with Wall Street.

place throughout central Havana

In order for the Haitian prostitute
politicians to further live on the
backs of the toiling masses, they
are actively carrying on a wave of
demagogic propaganda, tinged with
the fake theology of nationalism.
and at the same time they keep the
overwhelming majority of the popu-
lation in the most backward stage
OF development and exploitation.
One of the weapons used by these
parasites for carrying out their
demagogies, is Mr.. Vincent's news
paper, Haiti Journal"
Today in Haiti the government is
building a big army. Due to wide
spread unemployment in the coun-
try, every young man is being forced
to join that army. One thing I
would like to know and many
Haitians here also are asking: what
will be the aim of that army? 1t
is known that Roosevelt is very
busily giving his support for the
building Of that army.
1t has already been rumored that
the Haitian army will be reserve
force for American Imperialism, for
the next coming world war, and
also Haiti will be used as strategic
point for the naval base of the
United States. No wonder the NY.

Substantially the same ar
rangement which the Haitian Leg
islature two years ago had re-

ment."

how Mr.. Vincent uses his omni-
potential power against the Haitian
masses for the Servituda of the
American capitalists. A few months
ago, Mr.. Bryiac, the head of the
Haitian American Sugar Company.
proposed contract before the
Haitian government, which would
give Mr.. Bryiac and his colleagues
capitalists the right of investing
hundreds of thousands of dollars
for raising bananas in Haiti for ex-
port. When the Haitian people
heard of that proposal their in
dignation sprang to such a height
that the Congress was forced to vote
it down. Mr.. Vincent told Congress
that even if you vote against it, I
will use my dictatorial power to en-
force 1t, because it will mean thou
sands of jobs for the unemployed. :"
Then the intellectuals and the mid
die class elements, asked: What
provision has been made for us?
They could not cultivate bananas.
No answer was given them.

ALTHOUGH it would be the
"A greatest pleasure for all work
ers to see Haiti, the small island
Negro republic in the Caribbean,
freed from the yoke of American
imperialism, at the same time, one
should have no illusion about the
steps being taken by the Roosevelt
government and Mr.. Stenio Vim
cent, representing Haiti.
The move taken by Roosevelt,
palmed off as freedom for Haiti,
is one of his strateglcal maneuvers,
for the preparation of the rapidly
approaching imperialist war. Mr..
Vincent and Roosevelt, sensing the
widespread discomfort and the anti
imperialist feeling stirring the broad
Haitian masses, adopt a policy of
concealed control over Haiti. Roose-
velt is now putting in practice Ma
poleon's dicturn when he said 131
years ago: IF I had known I would
have never tried to control Haiti
by force. On the contrary, I should
have tried to control her through
the medium Of "Toussaint pOver-
ture." There was great doubt at
that time as to how successful he
would have been.
Now, the vicious fascist methods
that Mr.. Vincent is using against
the Haitian masses have aroused
their indignation to such an extent
that he fears revolutionary up
surge. In Haiti today freedom of
speech, press have been suppressed

Yesterday the soldiers had the
greatest difficulty in clearing the

Poisonous Honey

L Is an unsavory gang of radical spe-
cialists which has been coralled on to
the New York Evening Post by the money
bags of Mr.. J. David Stern.
From the ''Marxist," who is paid to
write the oh-so radical editorials, comes
this garland of praise for the Daily

For once. thank heaven, May Day has passed
off without cracked heads, ugly riots, recrimina-

In this honey there is reactionary poison. 1t
will be noticed how cunningly the patronizng lib
eralism Of the Post leaves the impression that the
menace of ugly riots" May Day comes not
from the ruling class and its agents. but from the
masses
And notice how our warning to the workers not
to be provoked by the typical deliberate provoca-
ton of the police and the capitalist press is twisted
to give the impression that the warning was directed
against riot the part of the workers!
The Post, in short, strives to conceal the class

But it is fully the duty of a revolutionary party
to warn the masses against being provoked into
premature adventurist individual acts of violence
deliberately melted by the capitalist class and its
agents.
This sweetness of the Post, this expert peddling
