Gov’t Shown to Be Directly Involved BOGOTA, Colombia, Dec. 12.— Minister of war Rengifo had to ad- mit today that Colombian troops are unable to break the strike of 40,000 | banana plantation workers and that despite the massing of soldiers the workers clashed with a battalion yesterday. He gave no details of the fight and refused to state how many if any were killed. In his official release to the press the minister of war declared that the banana zone was “not yet en- tirely pacified.” Minister of Indus- tries Montalvo told a United Press correspondent that “the negotia- tions, which were suspended when the strikers compelled the govern- ment to declare a state of siege, can be resumed when the zone is fully Phacified.” f The official releases on the situ- wition in the strike area are scanty and carefully veiled, and it is im- possible to obtain facts, due to the strict censorship of the United Fruit Company and the government.

S. S. R. a resolution which in ac- cordance with the manifesto of the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution provides regulations as to how the seven-hour working day is to be introduced in the industry. All enterprises of industry, trans- port, communication and corimunal households belonging to the state, IN U.S.S.R. as well as municipal and private, from October 1, 1933, must start to work on the seven-hour day. In all the new enterprises of heavy industry and big enterprises of light industry the seven-hour day must be introduced from the day they start to work, In all other new enterprises the seven-hour day is introduced on the same basis as’ in the existing enter- prises, in accoydance with the lists approved by the special government ing the height of its popularity—j| |where do you think?

The speech is a historic document, spoken by a Communist, with words that cut like whips in the faces of the imperialists of America and their agents at the heads of various Latin-American | puppet governments. Following correctly parliamen- tary Communist practice, Laborde did not speak so much to those who sat around him in the cham- ber, but spoke over their heads and issued a call to action to the masses of Latin America to de- fend, with arms in hand, their countries from the .thralldom of Yankee imperialism. It is a speech that should be read also by every worl::r in the United States and arouse the working class to join hands with the Latin Americans in a common fight to destroy American imperi- alism.— EDITOR. » 8 “I have asked to speak to expose some facts that I consider import- ant for the future of Mexico and all Latin-American countries.

Kellogg at the same time stated also that he did not know of American bankers’ con- trol of the government of Bolivia, and that he “did not have time to look it up.” Suspicious Ignorance. Every act of Kellogg, as chair- man of the Pan American Confer- ence for Conciliation and Arbitra- tion” now in session here, has been to lay the basis for American in- tervention in case the present con- flict in South America does not turn to the advantage of American oil companies, who hold their titles to enormous petroleum deposits in the Chaco district from the corrupt government of Bolivia, and the Ana- conda Copper Mining Co., and Gug- genheim interests who own the metal mines of that country and work them with practically slave labor.
