Together with huvdreds of other workers he was < ‘en to the police station where with true lackeys of bloody | King Alexander abjectly tortured him. Marganovich refused to give any information whatever and the | butchers were unable to break his fine spirit. The chief charge against Comrade Marganovich was that he had visited the USSR, a fact that prompted the brutal Yugoslavian police officers to make an example Other workers who had been arrested, upon acquittal owing to lack of evidence, stated that Marganovich had been so mutilated and disfigured that they did not recognize him. After leaving the special room for cross-examination and torture he had to be carried into he police station because he was un- sdle to walk, The police were in- erected in concealing Marganovi | arrest from his friends and relatives |so that they would ‘ave a free hand |to finish him off altogether. Fears |for his life were expressed by his | comrades and friends. And now they have been justific’. All traces of | Marganovich were lo:t during the last fevr days. The police assert ;that he h=d never been imprisoned, that he was released and that they know nothing more about him. It is believed that after being tortured Comrade Marganovich was simply killed in prison, A telegram from the Zagreb corre- spondent of “Rote Fahne,” the Aus- |trian paper, states that a headless |body was recovered from the Savi | River. Doctors say that the dead }man was about twenty-five years of age. That was the age of Margan- ovich, Here is an example of how victori- |ous reaction butchers its political op- |ponents! But the present black- guards in power should remember that their victory is not for all time. They can congratulate themselves on this dastardly piece of work as long as the revolutionary movement is not triumphant. But when that hap- pens the workers will remember their fellow workers martyred for the sake of the revolution and will sweep away the capitalist system and all its hirelings, international market and a fertile | need for an industrial union, soil for raw material, but also a] very important factor in sharpen- | ing capitalist contradictions and the | revolutionary crisis derived there- | from, | The conflicts between Bolivia and | Honduras, are the expression of the \war danger in a most concrete form. The internal contradictions in these countries, the existence of |the great masses of exploited work- ers and peasants, the struggle be- tween the imperalist powers, upset the social equilibrium and accelerate |the revolutionary crisis, thus bring- ling forth the immense reserve of |anti-imperialist forces, | In the theses recently adopted at |the conference of delegates of the |Communist Parties of Latin -Ameri- |ea and the United States, held at ger of war is of three (1) the |counter-revolutionary war against the Soviet Union, (2) Wars for na- tional independexce and, (3) war between imperialist powers or be- the countries under im- perialist control. Each one of these presents a series of problems be- fore the revolutionary workers and peasants of Latin-America. How- ever, the fundamental prerequisite necessary in order to effectively carry on the struggle against an at- tack upon the Soviet Union, against imperialist war and the leading jpart to be played by the Com- munists in the revolutionary wars for national liberation, is the strug- | gle against all pacifist maneuvers of the national bourgeoisie and the so- cial democracy in their endeavor ‘to fool the masses. In the event of an attack against |the Soviet Union, the Latin-Ameri- can workers and peasants, under the leadership of the Communist Parties, will fight for the following: No foodstuffs, no war materials for the |imperialist powers; for the uncon- ‘ditional support of the Soviet Union; side with the revolution; sabotage with all means at hand to prevent the shipping of raw material; strug- gle against the national bourgeoisie and against imperialist war. In the event of a revolutionary war for na- tional independence, the same slo- gans will be put into effect with | the gradual raising of the slogan of: |A Workers and Peasants Govern- ment. In the event of an imperialist war, the masses will fight: Against im- |perialism and its lackeys, the na- tional bourgeoisie; for the transfor- | mation of the imperialist war into a revolutionary war for national inde- | pendence; land to those who work it, While the imperialist class is hastily preparing for war, using the reactionary class in Latin-America to kill the militancy of the masses, the revolutionary workers and pea- sants are establishing strong basis jfor the future struggles against | their masters. The revolutionary trade union cen- ters established in almost 15 of the Latin-American countries, the work- ers and peasants blocs in Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay and Argentine, |have as their centre: point in the program of action, the struggle against imperialist war and the de- fense of the Soviet Unton.
