the Pacific, from New England to
California"
1t has been left to the best and
most advanced sections of the work
ing class of the U. S. A., bringing
around it all the oppressed masses,
to maintain and carry forward this
noble tradition. This is symbolized
in practice in the struggles organ
lied on May Day by the Communist
Party against the whole capitalist
regime of terror, worsened condi-
tfons and national oppression of the
Negro people.
The leaders of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the leaders Of
the Socialist Party and the Negro
reformist leaders try to hide these
historical conclusions and traditions
from the American workers and the
Negro people.
The Negro reformist leaders sup
port the whole capitalist regime of
terror against the Negro people; they
support the N. R. A. and code diff
ferentials for Negroes, the New Deal
and the whole Roosevelt program of
attacks against the masses in the
United States, in Haiti and Cuba
Moreover, where the leaders of the
A. F. of L. and the leaders of the
Socialist Party perpetuate white
chauvinism among white workers
against the Negro workers, the Ne
gro reformist leaders SOW distrust
among the Negro masses against the
white workers, in support of the
white capitalist rulers.
An outstanding example of this
was the declaration of Frank Cross
waith, Negro socialist leader who
declared at the famous Madison
Square meeting that Communists
are pigs because they have the ma
ture of pigs" The Communists are
the outstanding fighters for unity
in the working class, and partic-
ularly outstanding fighters for Negro
rights and Negro liberation. Espe-
uially the white Communists have
been the most self-sacrificing fight
ers in the Scottsboro case, in hun
dreds of other cases for Negro free
dom, while Norman Thomas and
CroSSwaith are the breakers of
unity, in May Day actions, in &C
tons for the support of the Austrian
workers. Their unity is with La
Guardia, william Green, Matthew
Vol, all enemies of the working
class and haters Of the Negro people.
Clarence Hathaway, editor of the
Daily Worker, q Communist leader.
typifes those white leaders of the
Communist Party and the American
labor movement who carry forward
the traditions that have been
handed down to us by Karl Marx,
Lenin and Stain, on the Negro
question.
The Negro reformist leaders in
their attack on the Communist
Party and the struggle for a united
front May Day declare that Karl
Marx never lived in the U. S. A.,
never knew anything about the
Negro question in the U. S. A.
Robert Vann, Negro editor of the
Pittsburgh Courier, assistant attor-
ney general of the Roosevelt gov
eminent, declares that the Negroes
in rags are taking it and should
smile through this economic crisis
in support of Roosevelt.
The Negro reformiSts are the
other side of the capitalist coin for
splitting the ranks of the working
class; they, with their petty bour-
geois nationalist hatred, support the
white capitalist against the working
class movement.
May Day demands the fighting
unity of the Negro and white work
ers against the whole system of ex-
ploitation and oppression, against
war and fascism, for the Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill Oh. r. 1899
against national oppression and for
Negro liberation, for the freedom
Of the Scottsboro boys, Angelo Hern-
don Stop the torture of Thael-
mann, that great working class
leader of Germany.
