The DAILY WORKER Raises the Standard for a Workers’ and Farmers’ Government In Ohicage, Outside Chieage, /Vol. Il, No. 250. Subscription Rates: At an enthusiastic protest meeting arranged by the All-America Anti-Imperialist League held at the Metropolitan Community Center, 3118 Giles Ave., not only was a resolution passed con- demning the state department of Washington for permitting American aviators to go to Morocco, and fight against the Rif- fians in their struggle for the independence of Morocco, but a local section of the Anti-Imperialist League was formed with W. B. Anderson as provisional secretary. W..C. Francis, delegate from the International Alliance of Negroes of Pittsburgh to the American Negro Labor Congress, was chairman of the evening.

Rodriguez, -a, Mexican - ig the American Negro “wight be “without danger to the re- public.” Military Rule Supreme Two years’ ago President Borno announced that no legislatire would be elected in 1924. In the absence of a popularly chosen assembly, the le- gislative functions have been exercis- ed since 1917 by the Haitian council of state. The council is an executive body of twenty-one members appoint- ed and recalled at will by the pre- sident. This state of affairs has en- abled the American military occupa- tion to rule without the trouble of a parliamentary body which afforded expression to native leaders bitterly opposed to American domination. Borno’s refusal to call elections springs from the fact that the legis- lature, when convened, will choose Haiti’s new president. Since 1917 the president has been elected by the , American-controlled council of state. It was this executive body which elected Borno in 1922. His election was followed by mass demonstrations organized by the Union Patriotique d@'Haiti (a nationalist organization) and by the Haitian Federation of La- bor, As a result the presidents of both organizations were arrested by the American military authorities.

It hailed Soviet Russia as the first power to establish race equality, so- cially, politically and economically. The congress also goes on record for the convening of an international race congress to discuss methods of combatting imperialism.
