Washington Blvd, Chicago, Ill. eae 290 MAY DAY PROCLAMATION pro May Day, 1925, finds Pe imperialism rapidly becoming the dominant force in world affairs. Even Great Britain, once financially supreme, is negotiating a $250,000,- 000 loan in Wall Street. The Dawes plan has tied Germany to the House of Morgan and France is strangled by Morgan mortgages. ‘ In every nook and corner of the capitalist world the agents of American imperialism are extending the rule of their masters. ‘ In the Pacific the largest fleet of war over assembled engages in war maneuvers pre-* paratory to a tour of intimidation to the ports of the Far East. War is in the air. As a symbol of what imperialism has in store for the workers, two private soldiers, Crouch and Trumbull, are sentenced to 40 and 26 years, respectively, in Hawaii. Their crime is that they formed a Communist League and expressed their solidarity with the workers and peasants of Russia. In the United States the coal barons and textile capitalists are making war on the miners and textile workers. The coal barons have announced that they will not be bound by the agreement with the union, the textile kings are slashing the wages of their employes. The Coolidge government is the instrument of the industrial lords. Criminal syndicalism laws are on the statute books of 28 states. In Michigan, Idaho, Pennsylvania, Illinois, California-and New York, workers are jailed and indicted under . criminal persecution. ofthe f. workers continue, with an army of spies preying upon them. Hangings, burnings at the stake, beatings and denial of the few fas ‘ely extended to other citizens are the lot of the Negro masses. In Europe the murder regimes—the military governments supported by allied finance and bayonets slaughter workers by the wholesale as in Bulgaria, Esthonia, Lithuania, Fin- land, ap he Portugal and Spain. In the colonial countries the masses groan under the oppressions of imperialism. Everywhere rages the war on the working class except in the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics where capitalism and the capitalists have been beaten and a workers’ and farm- ers’ government exists. The Workers (Communist) Party of America calls on the workers and exploited farmers of America to celebrate this May Day, the international mass holiday, in the spirit of Leninism—to organize for the fight against wage cuts, against any lowering of their liv- ing standard, against the robbery by the bankers and capitalists, against the persecution of revolutionary workers. It calls upon the masses to fight the Dawes plan and its scheme of international slavery. To fight the white terror against the struggling workers and farmers of Europe, Africa and Asia. To fight against the enslavement of Mexico, the Philippines and Latin America to Wall Street. To fight for the release of Crouch and Trumbull. To work for world trade union unity with the Russian and British workers. To join the ranks of the millions of workers and farmers who are struggling for free- dom from world capitalism under the leadership of the Communist International. It urges the workers and farmers to join om Workers (Communist) Party—the rev- olutionary section of the American working class. Only thru revolutionary struggle can capitalism be abolished and the slavery of the workers banished forever by the proletarian dictatorship. Long live the union of the workers, farmers and colonial peoples! Long live the workers’ and farmers’ government! Long live the Communist International!
