Fight Latvian
Fascisln, Calls
LID. Appeal
Call for Protests at the
Latvian U. S.
COnsulates

NEW YORK.-On receipt Of the
information that in Latvia the fas-
cists have instituted their dictator
ship under the leadership of the
democratic" president Albert
Kyiesis and the Farmers Union"
servants of the Latvian bour-
geoisie and rich landowners - the
International Labor Defense, which
has in its ranks number of Lat
Wan branches in various cities Of
the United States, issued a call for
immediate united front actions
against this latest attack upon the
workers and toiling peasants of Lat
via.
The I. L. D. calls for the irnme-
date organization of street protest
demonstration in front of the Lat
Wan consulates in New York, Bos-
ton, Chicago, San Francisco and in
other cities where such consulates
may be located.
The local 1. L. D. city organiza-
tons should take the initiative and
the general charge Of these demon
strations in closest cooperation with
the local 1. L. D. Latvian Branches,
drawing into these united front
demonstrations all other local or
ganizaticns of the Latvian workers,
all unorganized Latvian workers
and those who belong to reaction
airy Latvian organizations, as well
as mobilizing for these demonstra-
tons all anti-fascist working masses
American, Esthonian, Lithuanian,
etc.
Besides this, in all cities where
any organizations of the Latvian
workers exist Especially where I.
L. D. Latvian Branches are organ
ized) there should be organized Ac-
ton Committees Against Fascism
in Latvia on the widest united front
basis possible, drawing in not only
representatives from all Latvian or
CARNATIONS, which sincerely desire
to participate in this fight, but also
groups and individual workers from
other Latvian organizations and
unorganized Latvian workers in
general.
These Action Committees should
apply themselves Immediately to the
organization of mass protest meet
ings in all these cities. Not only
that, but they should prepare and
organize for the continued moral
and financial support to the VIC
Tins of Latvian fascism and to the
anti-faScist struggles in Latvia in
general
The I. L. D. statement also points
out that the rise Of fascism in Lat
via accentuates the war danger to
an extreme degree, and the Eu-
ropean situation is now fraught
with the danger of Intervention in
the Soviet Union.
Flood the Latvian Consulate
General with these protests, adj
dressing them to Latvian Con-
sulate General, 30 Rockefeller
Plaza, New York City, New York.
Organize protest action in every
working class organization. Rally
10 the defense of the victims Of
Latvian fascism.
Down with fasciSml
Build united fighting front of
the Latvian workers and all anti
fascists!

- They're gettin' right and
n no mistake The Nationals
- are playing ball these days,
as their accomplishment
under fire attest. They're hitting
and running and going places in a
way to make Joe Cronin more
than happy. They're good!
In their training they have
progressed at a rapid pace and
now are practically prepared for
the gallant fight they are to make
in defense of their American
League laurels. Even Frankie
Baxter, the assistant trainer Of

club house in the Washington ball
yard. has his voice well creased
Tor the heavy season ahead.
Baxter can rival the best Of the
Midwests pig callers now. so far
as timber of voice is concerned.
He can call 'em. He did so a
couple of days ago when the base
ball squad put on its volley ball
championship. Sat on a fence
with shotgun across his knees
and gave decisions with a lot of
authority in his tone. There was
little disputing of Frankie's de-
ciSionS.
Everybody had a great time
in the volley ball battle, excepting
Capt. Al Thomas team. 1t took
the beating from the outfit headed
by Capt. Walter Stewart and had
to pay up plenty. AIS gang might
have done better had not General
Crowder insited upon playing at
the net until crowded back to the
baseline by Buddy Myer.
His teams good. but Clark Grif-
fifth is doing lot of moaning and
groaning these days. Jack Stone
is the reason. The club prexy
likes the young fellow he got from
the Tigers in exchange for Goose
Goslin, but doesn't like the way
Jack cracks up bats in games. At
least Griffith says SO. In the
intracamp game the other day
Stone smashed four bats as he
got six hits. My. my. SO out"
muttered Griffith. But the grizzled
gentleman probably was tickled
pink, at that, to see his Winter
deal come through in such fine
fashion.
A brace of former White Sox
players are doing things down here
this Spring. Dave Harris is COW
ering lot Of territory as fielder
and Johnny Kerr not only is fol-
lowing that Durante nose of his
on both sides of second base. but
also larruping the leather in great
manner. Johnny, by the way,
doesn't mind the nose. In fact,
he's proud of it. When he auto
