Inberialist Robbery

TWO capitalist diplomats conversing in
L Rome wrote an agreement which slices
up the continent Of Africa. Laval of France
visited Mussolini of Italy to talk over the
question of the relations of the two coun-
tries Italy and France were previously in
conflict over Jugoslavia, Hungary, and
North Africa.
But now in Italy, the fascists fear the
rapid onward march of the economic crisis.
Mussolini is faced with financial collapse.
For this reason he is now ready to flirt with
France, for a good consideration. The
French imperialists, fearful of German
Fascism's war plans in Austria and Hun
gary have won Mussolini over to an ALI
ance for the preservation of Austrian Sin
dependence" and against any revision of
the boundaries of Europe set by the YER
sailles treaty.
In return for this European set-up,
France has made many concessions to Mus
solini in North Africa, and around Abys-
sinia, This means no good to the Abys-
sinian people. Mussolini is given every
opportunity to prepare war against the
Negro people in the last Independent coun-
try of Africa.
Every worker should protest and fight
against this imperialist robbery. Every
aid, every assistance should be given the
Abyssinian people against the vicious i'm
perialist plot cooked up against them in
Rome

The c. &C.. Mutiny

THE first mass mutiny in C.C.C. camp
/ at South Mountain Reservation, New
Jersey on Tuesday was in protest against
the military character of the camps.
1t effectively exposed the legend spread
by the Roosevelt administration that these
camps were health and character building
institutions"
The 125 boys who mutinied complained
of mistreatment by the military officers
in charge, and of discrimination and ar
bitrary punishments and fines.
It is significant that the boys were
especially bitter about the degradation of
not being treated like responsible human
beings" and of being put to bed like chill
dren."
The treatment of the boys at the C.
cist doctrine that discipline and order"
must be drilled into everyone at the point
of a gun; that human dignity must be up
rooted by terror, in order to have COM
petely serviIe population which will carry
out every dictate of their masters.
1t was against this imposition Of fss-
cist discipline and fascist servility that
the boys revolted.
The revolt was put down in typical
style Forty of the most militant were
dubbed "ringleaders" and expelled from
the camp. The remainder were fined SO
of the IS that they receive for personal
expenses, and threatened with immediate
expulsion if they protest again.
The officers in charge said that grow
ing boys need Sleep" that it was pure
Communism and INSTRUMENTATION" when
the boys yelled stick together"
Well, the C.C.C. boys are learning to
stick together. And by sticking and fight
ing together they will change conditions
They will also become convinced of the
need for Communism.

Troops in the South

THE mere announcement by the Rich
L mond Hosiery Mills that their plant in
Rossville, Ga, would open with scabs, was
notice to the government that troops are
required. Since Monday troops under COM
mand of the same military officers who di-
rected the shooting of strikers during the
general textile strike, have surrounded
the Rossville plant. Sixty workers arrested
were taken to the same Hitherto concen-
ration camp where strikers were impris-
oned during the general strike.
When the great textile strike was called
off and when many other strikes due last
September were postponed, it was due to
a six-month truce" agreement between
Francis German, William Green and the
other leaders of the American Federation
of Labor. But the truce" as every worker
can now see was intended as a disarma-
ment period for the workers.
But the hosiery workers in Georgia
are proving that workers solidarity will
not be broken by increased brutality.
Three more mills are now out in solidar-
ity with the Rossville strikers.
Other mills should join the strike. All
workers should protest against the mil
itary terror

This is the result of prOletarian management of
affairs.
What is more, the advance in industry is reflected
in the advance in science and culture in the Soviet Union
Dr. Carl Compton, president of the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology returns from the Soviet Union
with the announcement that the U.SSR is construct
ing one of the finest systems of scientific research in
the world.
The proletarat of the Soviet Union has proved to
the entire world that it has the ability to ruen the
interests of its population of 1600O0,0O0.
The proetariat of the United States which with
their families comprise 20 per cent of the population
of the T. S. will despite the vciousy mpotent rantngs
of Mr.. Hearst demonstrate that it too will yet rule
in society which will drive Mr.. Hearst and his fellow
exploiters from the face of the earth!

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. g.
Assembled as the highest governing
body of their organization, delegates
from twenty-eight States and an
outpost of American imperialism.
Porto Rico-grim leaders of the
unemployed struggles in the neigh
borhoods-rank and file from the
American Federation of Labor, the
independent unemployed groups and
the Unemployed Leagues recounted
past struggles and the perspectives
for future work.
Jose Nunez, an unemployed to-
bacco worker, who was elected at an
all-island conference of the unem-
ployed of Porto Rico, and who
planned to attend the great Ma
tional Congress for Unemployment
Insurance, reported on the condi-
tons of the unemployed masses of
Porto Rico.
Il am very sorry that I could not
attend the unemployment insurance
congress" Nunez said, but the
banks held up the money for my
transportation which was sent by
the American workers"
1.-The masses of Porto Rico" he
continued, ARE doubly exploited
by the American monopolies and by
their own bourgeoisie. A family of
five gets seventy-five cents a week
for relief which is paid in voucher"
and he produced the relief checks.
Yet on the island, food costs are
as high or higher that here in
America, since most of the land has
been taken out of food production
to swell the profits of the sugar and
tobacco barons. AS result most of
the food is imported from America. -
AT the conclusion of his address. the
assembled workers sprang to their
feet and sang Solidarity"
From 20 States
The $50 delegates assembled here
at the Fourth National Convention
of the National Unemployment
Council came from twenty-nine
States and Porto Rico. Two hun
dred and seventy-two were from
locals of the Unemployment Coun-
ellis, twenty-seven came from fra
ternal and cultural organizations of
ten States, nine came from trade
union locals which included four
Pennsylvania United Mine Workers
Of America, ten were fraternal del
ogatss, and eleven represented un-
employed groups other than the
Unemployment Councils.
In addition to the representation
from the Unemployed Leagues, other

Gramsci Released

TN THE past few days in quarters of
L Italian anti-fascist exiles, in workers
neighborhoods of Paris the news spread
that Comrade Antonio Gramsci was freed
from Jail, but that he was confined to live
in village of Southern Italy or Sardinia
The news now appears confirmed.
The freedom of Gramsci, outstanding
leader of the Italian revolutionary prole-
tariat, is a great victory for the workers in
all lands. We hail his release with Joy. The
international working class has been able
to force open the heavy doors of the prison
of Italian fascism.
But the victory is only partial one.
Though out of jail he is exiled Gramsci,
along with Terracini, Scocimarro, and
others at the well-known trial of the Gen.
trail Committee members of the COMMIT
mist Party of Italy, had several more years
to serve on his sentence He was illegally
condemned by the application of an excep-
tional and retroactive law Two more years
in prison would have put Gramsci in his
grave. His life even now is in danger.
The struggle must continue more ener-
geticaly for the freeing of others, for the
liberation of the Communist leaders Ter
racini, Scocimarro of the Socialist Pertini,
of the Anarchist Lucetti.
Forward to the struggle for the liberia
ton of all class war prisoners in Italy, for
the freedom of Ernst Thaelmann, of Com
rade Rakosi and the thousands of political
prisoners tortured and rotting in fascist
dungeons

of the capitalists to exploit plumber and rob that

able to manage its affairs But life itself has shown
that the proletsriat manage its affairs and
that it is the bourgeoisie that is bankrupt.

employed leaders. 1T was a cold
day, but the workers assembled" he
said, and when the secretary of the
Unemployment Councils appeared,
the workers demanded that he lead
the demonstration although the
Councils had been denied a united
front by the leaders. The workers
demanded that the Council secre-
tary speak, and they cheered his
appeals for unity. The rank and
file OF these groups are ready for
the united front and even for or
ganizational unity" The leaders of
the Unemployed Leagues had been
urged to enter the local sponsoring
committee, and had even been
elected by mass meeting of the
workers, but they refused, Deane
said.

Gals resort to insidious trickery and
subtle schemes. The newly -devel-
oped leaders are bought off, if they
are weak. Bringing the white work.
ers into the Councils is one of our
most important problems. The Rich
mond Councils are almost entirely
Negro organizations, and the relief
officials try to perpetuate this by
telling the white workers that this
is Negro organization. However
we are making progress
Ricardo Diaz of Florida declared
that the only force stopping them
from winning the majority of the
workers to the Unemployment
Councils is the lack of organizers
Spurious 'glfups have been formed
