national liberation. There is no

country!
In election campaigns, as in every
struggle against wage cuts and for
unemployment relief and social in
surance; for equal rights for the
Negro people and against discrimi-
nation, two main camps face each
other. On the one hand, the capt.
taiists and landowners who rob and
Cypress the toiling population
white and black, their governments
and their political parties, Repub-
icans. Democrats, etc On the
other hand, the revolutionary work
ing class and its political party, the
Communist Party - the untiring
champion of the interests of all
the exploited toilers and oppressed
groups, the organizer and leader OF
their day-to-day struggles for bet
ter conditions for relief; against
lynching, fascist terror and impe-
ria4st war.
-i',= Negro Voter Faces Choice
Every Negro voter is faced with
the choice of % endorsing his OPP
presSors by voting for one or the
other Of the capitalist parties, OF
20 r2gis <ring his will to Liberation
BY voting for and helping to elect
the Negro and white candidates or
the ticket of the Communist Party

Write masses.
The Communist Party does no;
come to the Negro masses only al

party that fights against lynching
jim crowism, discrimination, and fol-

Discusses New Deal
Negro Workers. You were told
that the Roosevelt New Deal
would bring you salvation" This
Infamous deception was peddled by
Robert L. Vann, owner and editor
of the Pittsburgh Courier, and
others who have shown themselves
ever ready to sell out the Negro
Masses for mess of pottage. Mr.
Vann has ben rewarded for his at
tscks on the Scottsboro defense by
a job in the national government
the same government which protects
the capitalists and landowners in
their robbery and oppression of the
Negro masses; the government OF
the. capitalists and landowners
Has the New Deal bettered your
conditions? Have Roosevelt's fake
promises eased your hunger, your
terrible suffering? Has the New
Deal" stopped lynching? Lynching
as part of the increasing fascist at
tacks on the whole working class
has increased under the New
Deal" Has the New Deal" stopped
job and wage discrimination against
Negroes? Roosevelt has openly up
held lower wages for Southern white
and. Negro workers. Mass firing OF
Negroes has taken place under the
N. R. A. codes. The cotton plough
under program has further impov-
erished the Negro troopers in the
South, while substituting the rich
white landowners. Roosevelt's Dem
ocratic Party is the party of the
Southern lynch lords.
The New DEAL is the same
crooked old deal of jim-crow cap
italism, of robbery and violent op-
preston Of the Negro and white
toilers, only made worse by The
drive to fascism and war.

masses are offered the insulting
choice Of supporting one or the
other group of their oppressors

and jim-crow oppressionp The So
cfalist leaders sabotage the fight fol
Negro liberation with the argument
that the oppression of the Negro
people is of no immediate concern
to the white workers. They deny tbs
right Of the Negro majorities in the
