than people in general OF course nter-marrlage
is the rule and the inbreeding tends to intensity

Moreover the Jewish people rule hearty

What is the criminal syndical
ism law and why Is 1t that aftel
years OF disuse. 1t is suddenly
taken out of mothballs IN 1934-3l
and used with such desperate
zeal that four Oregon workers
have been convicted and sen.
fenced under it? Who are the
defendants? Who is doing the
prosecuting, the real pushing
OF the criminal syndicalism
charges against the nine workers
arrested last summer? Why were
these nine workers chosen out
OF the dozens trapped in the pc.
lice and vigilante raids during
the waterfront strike? Who are
the "vigilantes'?
These questions and related
ones need to be answered. They
are questions that the "proseeu-
ton" is trying to keep from be-
ing answered, and the "proseeu-
tiOn" has allies who work in the
open, as bare-faced enemies of
labor, as well as those who pre-
tend to champion, or even to be
a part of labor.

Carl Brooks. president of the

Rights, stated that the struggle
and victory that has taken place

said.
'TThis same militancy and unity
can be used to smash the frame
up of the Scottsboro Boys, An
gelO Herndon and Tom Mooney,
and ultimately lead to the COM
plete liberation of the Negro
people and the working class"
Brooks declared.
Struggle Brings Unity
"The struggle has brought for.

of working class unity. Outstand-
ing among these is the action of
the rank and file of the county
committee of the Commonwealth
Builders. When our speaker ap-
peared before their group and
pointed out to these white work
ers how the bill was a step to-

of minority group, he was en-
Enthusiastically received.
Later when the reactionary
clique attempted to keep the
county committee from going
on record against the bill, with
the 'pretense that it might antag-
Onize some of the legislators in
Olympia so that they would
vote against the Obi bill, the
workers stated that they were
tired of strategizing and demand
ed that the group go on record
against the anti-intermerriage
bill.
Tn short, they recognized
that the struggle Of the Negro
people is the whole struggle
of the working class, that they
did not want their legislators
to capitulate before the bill

country that we fight for the
Workers Bill which alone can
save millions of men, women and
children from utter degrade
ton. When we declare our love
for our country, we mean we love
these millions of people who are
being reduced to an Asiatic
standard of living; we must seri-
ously doubt the quality of that
love for country which says that
profits must be maintained even
though these millions starve.
Wealthiest Country
This country has half the ae-
cumulated wealth and product
i've forces of the entire world,
with much less than ten per cent
of the population. Yet we are
told that the country cannot af-
ford" to guarantee it's workers
a minimum standard of decent
living! 1t is clear that this phrase
cannot afford has a special
meaning. 1t does not mean that
the country has not the neces-
sary resources; it means that
those who rule the country, the
small, infinitesimal fraction of
the population which owns the
chief stores of wealth and means
of production, considers it con-
trary to their selfish class inter-
ests.
This ruling class, monopolists,
the Wall Street financiers, have
dictated the administration pro-
gram. They do not hesitate to
condemn tens of millions to a
degraded standard of life, just
too much to die on but not
enough to live on. These are the
real enemies of America; here is
the real menace faced by our
country.
Millions Disillusioned
If revolution, or the threat of
revolution, has become a major
problem of this country, this is
only secondarily the result of the
work of the Communist Party. In
the first place, it is because mil
lions have lost their last hopes
of relief after being disillusioned
with all promises, one after an
other, based on the present sys-
TEN. Communism, and the threat
of revolution, viii not be crush
ed by outlawing the Communist
Party; it will grow in spite of
everything, unless the conditions
of life of the masses are imprOv-
ed, unless real social security is
provided.
Precisely because those who
rule are determined not to grant
any real mesaure of social Sc
curity, that is the reason for the
attacks upon the Communist
Party. These attacks are design
ed to prepare rejection of any
real unemployment insurance.
When the ridiculous charge
is made that the Communists are
plotting to kidnap the Presid-
ent," that is only a cover for a
