The meeting is called by the ILD, for | Feb. 5 at 2 p.m, at Stuyvesant Ca- | sino, petits | WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—Chiet in- | stigator of the wars now raging in South America, the U. S. imperialists actively intervened yesterday against Peru, in support of their Colombian puppets, under the pretext of “avert- ing” war between Colombia and Peru over the “disputed” Leticia area. On the same day, the U, S. Standard Oil Company . entered a hypocritical denial that it was aiding Bolivia “financially and otherwise” in the undeclared war between Bolivia and Paraguay over the “disputed” Gran Chaco territory. Supports Colombia Puppet In a note sent exclusively to the Peruvian Government, Secretary of State Stimson brazenly took up the cudgels in support of the Colombian Government in the struggle being waged between U. S. and British im- perialists through their native puppet governments for control of markets and raw resources in South America. The U. 8. note states, in part: “The telegram of the Minister of | Foreign Affairs of Colombia to your) excellency of January 11 declares, on behalf of the government of ‘Colom- bia that, in such action as it may be | necessary for Colombia to take in the Leticia region, its forces are advanc- ing merely in order to reoccupy Col- ombian territory and to prevent the continuance in that region of the conditions of yiolence which have caused the suspension of all law and tight, in violation of public treaties. The communication continues to af- firm that the Colombian forces which will be employed for that purpose will avoid conflict with the military forces of Peru unless the latter op- pose the Colombian forces in their task of restoring the legitimate au- thorities of Colombia.” Defend Resort to Arms. Under the hypocritical pretense of seeking to “avert” a conflict, Stimson thus defends the resort of the Col- ombian Government to arms to set- tle what he pretends is merely a dis- pute over Leticia. While pretending to be “seeking peace,” Stimson jus- tifies the use of its armed forces by the Colombian Goverment and at- tempts to place the onus for war on Peru, He carefully refrains from mentioning the real issues involved in the war between Colombia and Peru—the rivalry between U.

The operators are reported demanding a cut of 35 per cent, and UMW chiefs are playing the usual game of pretending to op- pose this cut in order to compro- mise on a slightly smaller figure and so hand a brilliant wage cut “vie- tory” to the starving miners, ‘The wage Board is expected to an- nounce its decision within the next few days, and since it consists of only | two ‘people, ge Rubles, repre- senting the operators, and Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, it is likely that it will announce its failure to arrive at any agreement.

The 1,000 workers of the Motor Products Corporation them- selves went out on strike last week against a wage-cut, gaining an over- whelming victory last Saturday. Splendid Solidarity This splendid demonstration of solidarity came after a mecting of Motor Products workers who jammed | Germania Hall last night. More than 700 of them joined the Auto Work- }ers Union, which led their struggle, and paid initiation dues. The work- ers showed tremendous enthusiasm for building the union and decided to organize sub-locals in each de~- partment. Raymond and Wald spoke for the union and Andrew Overgaard for the Trade Union Unity League, te which the union is affiliated. 100 Per Cent Organized | The night shift of the Motor Pro- ducts plant met this morning and | made similar decisions.

In an effort to prevent the strike |from spreading, the Murray Body bosses sent home their workers last Wednesday.
