The International Sports Con-
gress Against War and Fascism
will take place in Paris this year
August Ills. With this in mind.
the City Clubs Council, with a
membership of 1000 has arranged
for an Anti War Field Day on
Saturday, June 2, few days fol-
lowing National Youth Day. The
place is Ulmer Park. More than
100 social clubs of the kind men
ton have been contacted, with
favorable response.
So favorable. indeed, that the East
Flatbush section, which sells many
dollars worth of literature a week
to these clubs (Fight and New
Masses has undertaken to sell
thousand tickets. In addition to the
athletics the Workers Laborat tory
Theatre will give a performance.
FROM the Council, however, comes
! a complaint. It has approached
the Labor Sports Union, the Ma
tional Students League and the In
ternational Labor Defense. but from
none of these, it asserts, has it re-
ceived any active cooperation. The
national secretary of the Labor
Sports Union, Comrade Richard
Heikkinen, informs me that this is
not so as far as his organization is
But it is obvious that
all these bodies must make a reso-
lutte attempt to popularize the event,
not only in getting down spectators
and sympathizers with its purpose,
but in bringing about mass psrtici-
patton in the contests. Whatever
help this column can give is, of
course, fully offered.

Rogers continued, you are en-

are protecting them and aiding
them in their activities. We de-
mand our right to march on May

in the streets of New York, which
belong to the people of New

Commissioner Fowler finally
promised to get in touch with
Organ when he returned and to
communicate with the delegation
later in the day.
Meanwhile the delegation drew
up three letters protesting the po-
lice ban of this parade. The letters
are to go to Deutsch, Organ and

permit is refused by the police de-
partment, another delegation will
go to see Mayor LaGuardia at City
