Importance to youth, Delegates
who were principally from the

tist, Methodist, Congregational
and Presbyterian churches, dis
played an interest in the prob
lens of war and faseism, imperial

Speakers, delegates and re-

liam Randolph Hearst was the
most vicious pro-war and pro-fas-
cist propaganda in the country,
and many were anxious to go on
record in opposition to his press.
Delegates in the World Peace
discussion group could see that
the destruction of the profit sys-
tenn" was necessary in order to
get rid of war. Some demanded
all war funds for unemployment
and social insurance.
Delegates in the Christian Ec-

its depressions and accompanying
unemployment, starvation, mis-
cry and war. Research leaders In

Many delegates left disappoint-
ed at the superficial nature of the
commitments made at this con-
ference. This is not surprising,
since il was rather an institute
designed to instruct the delegates
along certain set lines, than a
broad conference with free dis
eussiOn and definite action.
Delegates and other religious
youth can take part in a discus
sion of a much more fundamental
nature when the Northwest Con-

will include delegates from labor
unions, fraternal organizations,

Call to Northwest Congress Against War and Fascsm

and militant mass opposition can
check the drift towards war and
fascism. Only by organizing the
aroused opposition of thepeople
of the Northwest around a defin-
lite program can we halt the war
makers and the budding Ameri-
can fascists.
Such program is the program
of the American League Against
War and Fascism, adopted at the
national anti-war congresses held
in New York in 1888 and in Chi
cago in 1884. Briefly, that pro-
gram is:
l. To work towards stopping
the manufacture and transporta-
tiOn of munitions, through dem
onstrations, picketing and strike.
2. To expose everywhere the
preparations for war being car
ried on under the guise of aiding
national recovery.
8. To demand the transfer OF
all war funds to relief of the I'M
employed.
4. To oppose the policies of
American Imperialism toward its
colonies, and to support the
struggles of these colonial people
against exploitation and sup
preston.
5. To support the peace poll
cies of the Soviet Union, for total
and universal disarmament.

To all opponents of War and
Fascism:
War and fascism are now more
than ever before the life and lib
erty of all people.
At this moment war clouds are
casting shadows over the entire
globe, and at the same time the
rising forces of fascism are threat
ening to destroy the last remnant
of democratic rights as the pre-
lude to a new world slaughter.
America is more deeply involv-
ed in the drift toward war and
fascism. The Administration Bill
lion Dollar Naval Program; the
increased funds for military train
ing; the use of relief funds for
armament building, while nations
are near starvation; the enlarg-
ing of the CCC camps; the cur
rency and trade wars between the
great imperialist powers; the
growth of monopoly business I'M
der the NRA, with the repre-
sentatives of monopoly control
ling the code authorities and Ia
Dor boards: the support by these
boards of the company union;
the violent suppression Of work.

Supreme Court Hears
ScOttSbOrO Appeals

WASHINGTON. D. c., March 7
For the second time in three
years, the United States Supreme
Court has heard appeals against
the legal-lynch verdicts of death
in the ScottsborO cases.
The appeals were based upon
the constitutional question of the
exclusion of Negroes from the
grand and petit juries that in
dicted and tried the boys. The
forgery of names Of six Negroes
upon the jury rolls Of jackson
county, Alabama, IT. an effort to
cheat the boys Out of their ap-
peal to the Supreme Court was
also made a basis for reversal in
the appeals.
The two cases, of Clarence Nor
ris and Haywood Patterson, the
two boys now under sentence Of
death, were argued jointly.

the manufacturers and bankers
to outlaw all strikes; the at
tempts to outlaw radical working
class organizations, and to dis

adequately testify to the growing
danger of war and fascism
On the Pacific Coast and es-
pecially in the Northwest, this
trend is increasingly in evidence.
Machine guns and tear gas, vigil
ante raids and hundreds of ar
rests-these were the answer OF
the shipping owners to the mari
time workers demands for just
ice. In Oregon, California and
Washington, criminal syndical-
ism laws are being used to perse-
cute workers and to break their
organizations. Pseudo patriotic
groups attempt to prevent the
appearance of nationally known
speakers. In Washington the re,
dictionary bloc in the state legis-
lature is trying to bar all radical
parties from the ballot.
Along with these fascist ten
denotes we see much evidence of
war preparation in the North
west. Notifications are every
where being built or improved.
Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, as
well as the entire Northwest, are
being prepared for the coming ca
