MONTHLY” A Review, | “The richest colonial and semi- colonial countries are situated along the coast of the Pacific, the ex- ploitation of which is the most es- sential condition for the further ex- istence of the imperialist powers. The greater part of humanity lives on the islands and continents sur- rounding the Pacific’—with these words A. Losovsky of the Central Council of Trade Unions of the So- viet Union depicted, in his report to the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Con- ference at Vladivostock, the enor- | mous importance of the Pacific area | and its labor movement. No worker in America must for- get for one moment this factor in world affairs, nor can any worker be fully armed with knowledge of the labor movement of the Pacific area, without reading the “Pan-Pa- cific Monthly,” the official organ of the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secre- tariat at Shanghai, where it exists illegally but has for two and a half years carried on a tremendous work of unification of labor on a revo- lutionary line in the teeth of terror and against a world of difficutlies. The “Pan-Pacific Monthly” as the organ of the P. P. T. U. S., must be- come better known to American workers. Its very history is a drama cf revolutionary daring, but which must be told some other time. What we wish to call to attention now, is that this fighting magazine that has triumphed over so many vicissitudes, is now available to American readers and its Novem- | ber issues, No. 32, is packed with invaluable material, 64 pages of it. The November issue ie devoted largely to the Vladivostock Confer- ence of the P. P. T. U. S., held in latter August in spite of the imper- jialist blockade against the delegates reaching Vladivostock and the rup- ture of communications by the at- tack on the Soviet Union in Man- churia starting with the seizure of the Chinese Eastern Railway, Too few American workers realize the full scope and power of the Pan- Pacific Trade Union Secretariat, which unites the unions of Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Ma- laya, the Philippines, the Soviet Union, and the new revolutionary center in the United States—the T. U. U. L., the latter of which, with the revolutionary minority of Eng; land and the red unions of France, are joined in the P. P. T. U. S. to aid the tabor movement of the colo- nial and semj-colonial countries. American workers must especially interest themselves in the trade union movement of the Philippines, where a profound struggle is go- ing on hetween the revolutionary unions and the agents of American imperialism in the labor movement. While the November issue of the “Pan-Pacific Monthly,” analyzing the tense situation in the Far East and outlining the tasks of the trade unions in the Pacific area as the work of the Vladivostock Confer- ence, deals with general and special problems, the final article, “Tocls of the Capitalists Within the Fili- pino Lahor Movement,” deserves the attention of every American work- er--who must understand and sup- port the struggles of the Filipino workers and peasants. Let us repeat: American workers are favored with this publication now being available at bookstores and T. U, U, L, branches, distributed in, this country through the Work- ers’ Library Publishers, 39 E, 125th St,, New York City, Subscriptions are $2 yearly, single copies 25 cents; an illustrated magaazine you must not miss.—Harrison George. © OFFICIAL CALL.

Manifestly the necessary thing for the Needle Trades Workers In- dustrial Union under the circum- stances is to hoist the bosses and labor misleaders by their own petard.
