Appeal BY Revolutionary Writers
Declaring that the revolutionary
writers of the world cannot re-
main silent in face of the lynch
terror in the United States, fifteen
outstanding revolutionary writer's
Of France, Spain, China, Cuba, the
United States, Norway, Sweden and
Greece, have issued the following
appeal to the writer's and intel
lectuals of all countries to rally to
the defense of the Scottsboro boys
and the oppressed Negro people:
1.-THE Scottsboro Negro boys have
been kept in prison, in the shadow
OF the electric chair, for more than
three years. They are daily threat
eened with being seized by the
mob and murdered by hanging or
burning. Three times they have
been sentenced to death. Public
opinion, aroused by the world cam
paign of protest organized by the
International Red Aid, has up to
now frustrated the murderous de-
signs Of the anti-Negro capitalist
and landowning class.
Eve revolutionary writer's can
not remain silent in face of the
lynch terror in the United States.
We cannot look calmly on while
the ruling white class is seeking to
murder the innocent Scottsboro
| boys.
1--WE call upon the writer's and
the intellectuals of all countries
who have rendered humanity an
invaluable service by exposing the
horrors of German and Austrian
fascism. We call upon all those who
placed themselves at the disposal
of the powerful movement which
wrested Dimitrov, Popov and Tanev
from the clutches of the indescrib-
able terror regime of Hitler and
Goering. Work in order that the
lynch terror in the United States
shall become an object of loathing
in the hearts of all decent men and
women.
"We stigmatise the lynch terror
with burning words.
I'VE protest against the mon
strous trial which has been staged
against the innocent Scottsboro
Negro boys.
I'VE demand their immediate,
unconditional and safe release.
