oppression. And by way Of COM
pensating'' the white masses for
their own miserable conditions and
bringing them to support its attacks
on the Negro People, it offers them
the farcical privilege of considering
themselves members of superior"
race.
MAINTAINS EXPLOITATION
BY SPLITTING POLICY
By this policy Of race hatred and
division, the exploiters have sue
ceeded in maintaining their exploit
alton of the toiling masses, sharp
ened particularly against the Negro
toilers. 1t is precisely in the South
where the influence Of white chau-
whist poison Is strongest that the
conditions Of the whole working
population, white and Negro, are
worse than In any other part Of the
country. This fact must serve as
warning to the white workers
throughout the country to ruthlessly
fight against all chauyinist tenden-
cies within the working class. The
white workers, In their own inter-
estS, must march In the forefront Of
the fight for full democratic rights
for the Negro People. The struggle
of the white toilers for better con-
ditions, for social emancipation, is
inextricably bound up with the
struggle of the Negro People for
national liberation.
ROLE OF A WORKING
CLASS PAPER
The role OF q real working class
newspaper, then, is to defend the
Negro masses at all points, ruthless
~ exposing every act Of Negro OPP
preston and persecution by the
white ruling class, agitating the
white and Negro masses to indig-
nant protests and militant struggle
against these attacks on the Negro
masses. 1t must mobilize the white
toiling masses to the defense of the
Negroes. 1t must organize and lead
the Negro and white toilers in the
most determined, iron resistance to
the brutal rule Of the landlord ca
pitalist cliques In the BLACK Belt"
OF the South, and against all forms
Of jin-crowism and discrimination
in any section Of the country.
This is precisely what the Daily
Worker, central organ of the Com
munist Party, is doing. 1t was the
Daily Worker which first exposed
the cruel frame-up of the Scottsboro
boys and the hideous attempts Of
the Alabama rulers to burn these
nine innocent lads In the electric
chair. It was the Daily Worker and
the Communist Party which ripped
asunder the veil OF alternate lies
and CONSULTATIVE silence masking the
brutal oppression Of the Negro ma
jorities in the BLACK Belt" of the
South. It was the Daily Workers
exposure which brought the Inter
national Labor Defense to the aid OF
the boys. It was the Daily Worker
which helped that working class de-
Tense organization to mobilize thou
sands and hundreds OF thousands of
workers In furious protests against
this bestial crime Of the Alabama
ruling class.
DAILY WORKER FIRST
TO EXPOSE FRAME-UP
On April 2, 1881, the Daily Worker
printed the first exposure Of the
hideous frane-up Of the Scottsboro
boys. It pointed out clearly the class
and national oppression content of
the frame-up, its double purpose to
terToriSe the Negro masses and
smash the growing unity OF white
and Negro workers, being achieved
under the correct leadership Of thu
Communist Party.
By April 10, 1t was able to repor

New York workers against the at
tempted mass murders. By April II
