"Socorro Rojo Internacional,", January 10 (no year).

 Item — Folio: 1

Scope and Contents

Sponsored by the Sección Mexicana of the Socorro Rojo Internacional. This poster announces a commemoration of the assassination of the revolutionary student and anti-imperialist leader Julio Antonio Mella. This event will also protest Yankee imperialist intervention in Cuba, the imprisonment of Torgler, Thaelman, Dimitrof, Popof, and Tanef, accused of burning the Reichstag, as well as Hitler's having 170,000 German workers in concentration camps. Futhermore, the event protests the "legal lynching of black youth in Scottsboro," Alabama (the Scottsboro Trials) which, it is feared, will exacerbate racial hatred in the United States. It also protests the economic situation in Mexico City, the national identification card, obligatory military service, and the trial of German workers in Leipzig. It demands freedom for those on trial in the Scottsboro trials, that the U.S. remove ships from Cuba, and defends the Soviet Union.
