Our Job in the ThdeImann
Case

MORE than thirty years ago Ernst Thael-
III mann started to organize his fellow
workers, the longshOrenen, in his native
city-Hamburg. For the past thirty years
Thaelmann has devoted his life to the
cause of the German working class, and
for the past ten years he has been the
leader of the Communist Party of Germany, the
beloved fighting leader of six million German
workers. Now the Nazi hangmen who have turned
all Germany into one giant prison camp are tor
turing Ernst Thaelmann in Moaoit Prison. Berlin,
trying to break his indomtable spirit before sem
fencing him to death for high treason" in the
special Treasol Court.
The workers of the whole world demonstrated
the tremendous power of their mass pressure when
they snatched Dimitrof out of the hands of the
Nazi executioners in Leipzig An even greater job
faces us in saving the life Of Ernst Thaemann
for to millions of German workers Thaelmann per-
sonifies the whole anti-fascist struggle, the unre-
1entng fight for the overthrow of the Nazi regime
and the setting up of Soviet Germany The Nazis
will not let Thaelnann escape them without des-
perately bitter battle.
Dimitroff himself recently told foreign CORES
pondents in Moscow that anyone who doesn't
lift a finger to save ThaeImann today shares the
responsibility for Thaelmann's fate. In our own
Hitler and Goering, the fascist hangmen had
to let CO. But Thaelmann be saved only
by a gigantic moral and political campaign
throughout the wOrld-which will also strengthen
the fight of the German prOetariat. /
WINGED that the inner situation in Germany helped
lot in liberating Finally the pressure from
abroad and within the country became so great
that the Nazis couldn't hold us any longer. THIS
IS EVEN MORE NECESSARY IN THAELMANNS
CASE"
The workers of the United States must heed
Dmitroffs call. Protest resolutions must be adopted
in every union local. and fellow workers in every
shop must be educated to the Importance of the
fight for Ernst Thaelmanns life. Tens Of thousands
of protest signatures must be collected wherever
workers and sympat hizing intellectuals come to-
gether. never-endtng flood of protest letters and
kilograms must pour into every German Consulate
in the country. Organize permanent picket lines
outside every Nazi Consulate
Make the Hitler hangmen realize that the
workers of the world will not let Thaelmann die!

TORONTO, Canada. - Reports
that Tim Buck, leader of the seven
Communists held in Kingston peni-
tertiary, had been killed in Jail,
have proved on investigation of the
Canadian Labor Defense League to
be incorrect.
The reports were made on the
basis of the fact that an unnamed

cumStanees in the BLACK Hole" in
which Tim Buck and the other pris-
oners have frequently been placed
for torture.
The situation of the seven leaders
in Kingston is very dangerous at
the present time, the C.L.DL. re-
ports, following unrest and fires
that have broken out in the over
crowded penitentiary. Previously,
attempts were made to frame Tim
Buck on the basis of such disturb
ances, in the course of one of which
guards fired several shots into the
cell were he was locked up.
The C.L.DL. has called for pro-
tests from every part of Canada and

lean International Labor Defense. to
be sent to the Minister of Justice,

Will Deepen Economic
Crisis; Retains u. S.
War Bases

THERE is only one path to free
dom for the Filipino masses, and
it is the Communist Party of the
Philippines, that is showing the
workers and peasants this path. In
order to meet the excise tax on
Philippine exports to the U. S. even
lower wages, more speed-up, longer
hours and greater unemployment
will be forced upon the toilers. The
Communist Party rallies the masses
in the struggle against the native
ruling class and also against Amer
lean imperialism for complete, i'm
mediate, and unconditional indie
pendence for the Philippines.
In spite of the fact that 16 Com
munist Party leaders, victims of a
government drive to outlaw all mil
liant working class organizations,
have been sentenced to long terms
in jail, a new, young leadership has
sprung out from the very heart of
the masses, and unions are being or
ganized and struggle led.
We American workers, living in
the country whose imperialist rulers
Cypress the Filipinos, must help our
Filipino brothers in their struggle
for real independence. American
Negro workers and some white have
already expressed their class solid
/ arity with the Filipinos. During the
first days of American occupation of
the Philippines, particularly, many
Negro marines went over to fight
with the Filipinos, became their
leaders in many cases, and helped
to win their battles. Since then no
Negro soldiers are sent to the Phil
ippines by the War Department.
We must condemn the McDuf1e-
Tydings bill and fight for the de-
mand of complete, immediate and
unconditional independence for the
P. l. All support must be given to

Spread the Strike in Toledo!

PREPARATIONS are now going for
ward to launch new blood bath
against the workers of Toledo. National
Guardsmen have been sent to two addi-
tional factories where picketing is going
on. The mediators of President Roose-
welt, together with the N.R.A Regional
Labor Board, have been unable to force
the Toledo strikers of the Electric Auto
Lite Company to go back to work.
The strikers have voted to strike until all de-
mands are won.
The issues in Toledo are clearly drawn. The
company declares it will not take back the rioters
Ghe militant strikers. They declare they will not
recognize the union, and insist they will deal"
only with their company union They declare they
will reopen their factory with strikebreakers.
The National Guard has been reinforced in or
der at the point of the bayonet and bullet to force
the strikers to accept the company union and to
go back to work defeated The Roosevelt govern
ment, unable to trick the strikers back to work
under the company union, is preparing new terror.
In this situation, the main weapon Of the
workers of Toledo is-to spread the strike, to
out general strike of all Toledo workers
The officials of the A. F. of L. admit that most
of the A. F. of L. local unions have already voted
overwhelmingly for the general strike These Off
Gals admit they are withholding the enactment of
the strike order demanded by the Toledo workers.
They are admittedly trying to hold back the Toledo
workers and prevent general strike.
The Toledo workers must come out on strike
without delay if the fight for union recognition,
for the right to organize, against the company
union and the open shop is to be won. The i'm
mediate spread of the strike the heads of the
A. F. Of L. misleaders, is the answer to the attempt
at renewed and intensified terror and the attempt
to enforce the NRA company union and union
smashing DEGREES. through further slaughter of
workers by National Guard troops.

Within two years after the consti-
tutional convention, the President
of the U. s. is to tell the Filipinos
whether their constitution con
forms to the provisions of the act.
If not, he politely sends it back for
revision until it does conform"
Thus can be seen the degree of in
dependence the Filipino people shall
have in performing even this bit of

of $4,000 tons and on unrefined

further impoverishment of the

During this transition period the
Filipinos will be considered aliens

to recognize the independence of the

The representative of the Filipino

demagogic phraseology on the ques-

WHAT is the significance of this

vides that the Filipino people shall
call q constitutional convention not
later than October, 1884. The con-

Native Exploiters Aid in
Passage of Tydings-
McDuffie Bill
By HELEN MARCY

NLORIFYING one of the greatest
VI shams in its history, the Philip
pine legislature has accepted the
Tydings : McDufie independence"
bill with paeans of praise for its
sponsors, the American sugar and
dairy interests and their willing
pawns, Manuel Quezon and his fol-
lowers.
Economically, the bill strikes a
death blow to the sugar and coconut
oil industries, mainstays of the eco
nomic life Of the Philippine nation.
Philippine sugar and coconut oil,
introduced and developed by Amer
lean capital during the World War,
have become the staple crops of the
Philippines. The coconut gathering
and coconut oil industry alone en-
ployed 100000 Fliipinos, almost
one-third of the population of the
Islands.
The storage of fats in the United
States has reached such stupendous
figures as 1000,000,000 pounds of
cotton seed oil; 256,000,00o pounds
of tallow; 132,ooo,OO0 pounds of lard;
Ill 100000 pounds of butter. These
interests, seeking to restrict the
fats market in the U. S. to them
selves, and dairy interests who
wanted more consumption and
higher prices for "fats" from cows,
pressed for measures to prevent the
competitive Philippine coconut oil
from entering the United States.
Tax Follows Bill
Immediately after the passage of
the Tydings-McDuffie bill, Sc tax
Suicidal for the Filipinos) was
placed on coconut oil. For the
American workers it means another
boost in food prices.
Almost the entire sugar output of
the Philippines is sold to the United
States since it enters duty free.

Autonomy of
Jewish Region
Has Great Future Ahead,
He Tells a Delegation
of Moscow Workers

MOSCOW, May % CBy RADIO -
A big delegation of workers from
Moscow factories, greeting the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union
and the government in connection
with the formation of the Jewish
Autonomous Region of -Bidjan,
was received today by Comrade
Kalinin, President of the Central
Execution Committee of the U. S.
S. R.
Besides workers from the largest
Moscow factories, the delegation
included Jewish writers, representa-
tives of Jewish students in Moscow,
Jewish clubs and the editorial board
of the Jewish papers.
Answering the delegates ques-
lions, Comrade Kalinin said: I'm
adopting the decision of transform
ing Biro-Bidjan into an independ-
ent Jewish Autonomous Region, the
Soviet Government did not pursue
any demonstratiye aims. The for
nation of Biro-Bidjan into an in
dependent region has great eco
nomic significance, for in this rich,
entirely UNEMPLOYED district, there is
q big deposit of iron ore, with ire
mendous stretches of forests and
everything else, including gold.
THE Jewish toilers coming there
from old, desolate places can be-
come established.
81 consider the formation of the
Jewish Autonomous Region from
the viewpoint of wide perspectives.
The fact that under Czarism, Jews
were not permitted in towns, that
they we're isolated to remote places,
created, I would say, forced isola-
ton, conserving the aptitudes of the
Jewish population. This brought
about certain assimilation of the
Jewish population among the popu-
lation of other nationalities. Now
there is the tremendous perspectives
before the Jewish toilers, especially
before the Jewish youth.
Personally, 7 think that in ten
years, Bro Bidjan will be the sole
conservator of Jewish culture, ma
tional in form and socialist in con-
tent. Biro-Bidjan, or the Jewish
Autonomous Region, should be a
strong country population which
will not have those special traits
which were inherent and hammered
by Czarism into the Jewish popu-
lation in backward places in the
Ukraine, Poland, White Russia.
This will be strong sound pop
ulation, and would be pioneers ex-
ploring a new district. mastering, in
the best sense of the word, not
plundering or colonizing, winning
the wealth of the new region in a
worker = kolkhoze collective farm
manner.
THE collective farmers of Bro
Bidjan are gradually mastering this
district. They are already gather
ing the material foundation for
still further development. Bro
Bidjan must be helped in every
way. The Komzet and Ozet, which
rely for support on all Jewish toll
ers. can and must play a big role,
and should give both organizational
and cultural assistance to the jew
ish Autonomous Region"
At the conclusion of the interview
the delegates thanked Kalinin for a
number of practical instructions and
advice given them, promising to
bend all efforts of Soviet opinion
for the developing of the new auto
nomous region.
