STAMFORD, Conn., March 27.—~A}| vigorous denunciation of American imperialist policy in China, Nicar-| agua, and Mexico, is contained in the resolution adopted at a large meeting of the Central Labor Union of this) city. The resolution follows: Whereas, the Coolidge administra- tion, acting in accord with the wishes of Wall Street, the leader of the open | shop movement in the U. S., has sent battleships and marines to Shanghai as a threat of intervention against ‘the Chinese Nationalist government, which is fighting to rescue the Chi- hese people from exploitations and indignities foreed upon them by the foreign imperialist powers, including | the U.S. and Threatening Mexico. Whereas, at the same time the U. S. government, in support of the | same financial interests, is threaten- ing Mexico and sending battleships and marines to aid a dictator in Nic-| | aragua against the duly elected head} | of the Nicaraguan government, and Whereas, all these activities in sup- port of imperialist exploitation of other countries by the great financial | powers of the U. S., carry with them the threat of involving this country in a new imperialist war in which the workers and farmers will be ealled upon to sacrifice their lives for the investments and profits of the! | capitalist investors, therefore be it resolved that: The Central Labor Union of Stam-| ford declares its opposition to these imperialist polices of the U. S. gov- ernment and demands that the Amer- ican naval forces and marines be im-| mediately withdrawn from Nicaragua and from the Chinese waters; and that government cease its attacks and threats against the people of Nicaragua, Mexico and China, and be ‘it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be sent to the press, and to the representatives in con- gress and U..S. senators from this! state, STUDENTS HECKLE WISCONSIN PROF, IN CHINESE TALK \Draw Up Manifesto On| True Situation (Special To The Daily Worker). | By JOHN PICCOLI MADISON, March 27,—Bitter heck- jing and shouts of “he doesn’t know | what he’s talking about,” were hurled | yesterday at Dean H.
