In the recent period the American state department reports 20 Nica- Yaguans killed and 40 wounded by marine forces or forces under marine officers. Villages a re bombed from the air and destroyed.. Unarmed peasants are butchered by the imperialist forces. Exposing as utterly false the statement made by Secretary of State Stimson to the effect that the United States Marines would be withdrawn from Nicaragua and that in the meantime they would not engage “in- campaigning against the insurgents,” the reports tell of one “suprise at- tack” after another against the peasants who heroically defend them- selves and fight back. At the same time the capitalist press announces that from 600 to one thousand additional Marines are to be dispatched to Nicaragua. On a smaller scale Wall Street imperialism in Nicaragua is performing the same bloody deeds that Japan carries through in China and Manchuria. The workers of the United States must support the toilers of Nica- Tagua, convincing them by deeds that United States imperialism is their common enemy against which they also fight with increased vigor. The workers must protestagainst the diSpatch of additional detach- ments of Marines to Nicaragua. The American working class must de- mand the withdrawal of all troops from Nicaragua. They owe it to themselves, to the peasants of Nicaragua, the workers of China and the Soviet Union, the workers of all the capitalist and oppressed countries, to weaken United States imperialism by all means. It is our duty to help morally, and organizationally the toiling peas- | ants of Nicaragua, to arouse the American workers against the imperialist ‘ butchery in Nicaragua. We Greet “El Martillo” [E Daily Worker greets:the appearance of the first issue of “El Mar- tillo” (the Hammer), the official organ of our brother Communist Party of Venezuela. For many years, the workers and peasants of Venezuela have suffered under the iron heel of the Gomez dictatorship, serving the interests of ‘imperialism. The terror in Venezuela is Tore cruel and ruthless than in. any of the Latin American countries. Despite this terror, the workers and peasants of Venezuela are carrying on a heroic struggle against imperialism and against the native exploiters. In Caracas a short.time ago, they conducted a successful street carmen’s strike. - Despite the jail- ing, torture and murder of the leaders of the Communist Party and of hundreds of other workers, the Party is growing, training new leaders, and preparing new struggles. The revolutionary workers’ and peasants’ movement in Latin xinerice is expanding, engaging in strikes and unemployed demonstrations and in many towns and villages even in armed uprisings of peasants. The Chilean Naval Revalt of last year; the present strike movement in Ar- gentina in which peasants are fighting side by side with the workers; the strike of the smelter workers in Monterey, Mexico; the present work- ers’, peasants’ and students’ movement in Chile against the fascist Junta are only a few indications of the rising tide of revolutionary strug- gle. American imperialism is trying to harness its native puppet govern- ments in its colonies and semi-colonies for more open support of its war program. “El Martillo” can play a decisive role in mobilizing the masses against imperialist war and for the defense of the Soviet Union, for stop- ping the shipment of oil to the imperialist war-makers,.for the fight against the ruthless offensive of the Gomez dictatorship and for the lib- eration of the toiling masses of Venezuela and to all of Latin America. We pledge “El Martillo” our comradely support in this most important task and especially because it appears under conditions of utter illegality. The appearance of “El Martillo” should rouse the American revolu- tionary workers to more active and sustained support of the heroic strug- gles conducted by the Venezuelan workers and peasants. This duty falls | especially on the Communist Party and revolutionary mass organizations jin the Philadelphia District who have voluntarily “adopted” the revolu- tionary movement of Venezuela. Our actions must prove that we recognize our Bolshevik duty toward the workers and peasants in Venezuela, led by the Communist Party , of that country, for whose robbery and oppression under the bayonet ‘mule of the murderous Gomez, American imperialism is responsible. ; American imperialism will be held by us to strict accounting as the unity | of Negro an“ white workers, of the workers of the United States and the Latin American masses is cemented in revolutionary struggles for defeat ' of imperialism’s war program and its final overthrow!

The seats were given to a “lily-white” delegation headed by J. C. Ham- bright. A number of Negro dele- gates from Louisiana were also un- seated. The capitalist press here considers this Hoover's greatest vic- tory so far. Hoover's spokesman on the credentials committee was R. Taft, son of the former president.

Foster, Communist candidate for president, ruthlessly expose the wage cutting and starvation policies of James Graham, president of the Montana Federation of Labor. Gra- ham is a prominent Socialist Party leader. Foster pointed out that the AFL. in Montana has fought to prevent any revolt of the workers, against wage cuts that run from 25 per cent to 40 per cent in the industries’ of this state. Foster showed that in- stead of fighting for unemployment and social insurance at-the expense of the state and the employers, the Montana Federation of Labor does nothing. Its leaders poin with Pres- ident Green of the A-F.L. to threaten expulsion of any members.who do fight for unemployment insurance. Exposes Fake .Progressives But Montana also has a couple of “progressives” in the form of U. S. Senators Burton K. Wheeler and Thomas J. Walsh. Wheeler and Walsh, both Democratic Party men, put up continually fake relief plans, totry and keep workers under the in- fluence of their party. This Foster meeting is the largest workers’ gathering ever helq here. It was the real event of the year. Harlem Meet Tonight, Bronx Tomorrow, to Hear U. 8.

CENSOR TROOP MOVES New Burdens on Workers, Peasants The Wall Street Government, through its Legation at Peiping, yesterday again ordered its Kuo- mintang tools to send troops against the armed forces of the revolutionary Chinese worker-peas- ant masses in Central China. The Nanking Government was in- | structed to send troops to Kai- | chow, in southeastern Hupei Prov- ince, where 18 missionary agents of American imperialism are cooped up by a Chinese Red Army besieg- ing the town. Japanese troop movements on the Soviet frontiers continue to be veiled in sinister silence as a re- sult of the stringent censorship clamped down by the Japanese War Office. Count Uchida, president of the South Manchurian Railway, and an! advocate of a “blood and iron” pol- icy for the looting of China and armed intervention against the Soviet Union, has accepted the post of Jap-| anese Foreign Minister. His formal! appointment is delayed until after the meeting of the directors of the| railway in July. In the meantime, Tokyo dispatches ‘report that Uchi- da’s conference with the Japanese War Minister Araki resulted in “a definite understanding on Manchur- Araki’s attitude towards China and the Soviet Union is iden- tical with that of Uchida. Araki is one of the outstanding leaders of the Japanese militarists, a’ group of whom murdered the Japanese Prem- jer Inukai as a means of securing dictatorial power for the extreme war-mongers and accelerating the drive for war against the Soviet Un- ion. The Japanese Diet yesterday adop- ted legislature to further inflate the curency. It passed a bill increas- ing the limit of note issue of the Bank of Japan from 12,000,000 yen ($37,920,000) to 1,000,000,000. The effect of this legislature will be an immediate fise in the cost of living and additional burdens on the backs of the already impoverished Japan- ese workers and ruined peasantry. The Diet also voted increased tariffs on wheat, milled corn and other im- ports, further increasing the burdens on the masses. Specifific duties were -gener- ally increased by 35 per cent “to bal- ance the increased ad valorem rates resulting from the depreciation of the yen.” DEMAND BENEFIT PAID IN “BIG 6”, Resolution Passes Chapel Meetings NEW YORK.—Officials of the New York loca} of the International Ty- pographical Union (“Big Six’) re- fused to pay unemployment benefits last week on the groynds that there is no money.

The incident began when James Ray, a Negro worker of Allen St., successfully defended himself from attack from an insolent white hooli- gan. The latter, after being worsted, brought a gang of hoodlums to wreak vengeance upon Ray, who was sifting in Hester Park. The gang, armed with. iron pipes and black-jacks, viciously attacked Ray, who ran for protection to a policeman who has a beat nearby. This cop gave pro- tection in real Tammany style and began to lay about the Negro with his club until he almost collapsed.” Seturday’s demonstration’ will mark the beginning of determined struggle against terror and starvation, for. immediate unemployment relief and insurance, for equal rights for the Negro workers. °the Council for Foreign Born. the Protection of | .
