Formed in 1925 imperialism at the éxpense of the! toiling masses of the United States and of the colonies, the:heroic battles of the Cuban working, class, under the leadership of, the Communist Party of Cuba, are an important part of the working, class fight against. Roosevelt's, starvation “New Deal.” ald Almost from its ‘foundation, the Communist Party was,:outlawed by the Machado Government, forbidden to hold meetings, an its press de- clared illegal. But despite the terror, meetings and demonstrations have been held against:;;Machado and against. American imperialism, with the active participation,of the Com- munist Party. A demonstration was held. against Coolidge in 1928 during the Sixth Pan-American Union Con- ference. Growing. movement for unemployment relief and insurance culminated in the Hunger March of December, 1932. The recent strike of 20,000 . sugar mill’ and plantation workers in six provinices, not a spon- taneous strike, but definitely planned and organized by the Sugar Workers’ Industrial Union, under the leader- ship of the revolutionary National Workers’ Confederation of Cuba— this strike is of outstanding signifi- cance. The extenti»of this mass struggle in the most “basic industry of Cuba marks an important devel- opment in the» struggle against American imperialism—it is hitting American imperialism in its most vulnerable spot.

GREENE Gerardo Machado, elected Presi- dent of Cuba in the fall of 1924, has been for eight years the most brutal and faithful watch-dog which Amer- ican imperialism has ever maintained in Cuba to guard its interests there. A man of great physical strength, over sixty years of age, Machado be- gan his career as a general in the Cuban army during the War of In- dependence against Spain in 1895. For many years he has been a leader of the so-called Liberal Party. After the rule of President Zayas, who was unable to find a way out of the crisis in the sugar industry, which began as long ago as 1920, American imperialism chose Machado as a “strong man” who could more efficiently and ruthlessly exploit the masses. At this time Machado was vice-president of the Cuban Electric Co., a subsidiary of the Electric Bond and Share Co., a Morgan company closely allied with the General Elec- tric Co. Henry W. Catlin, American representative of the Electric Bond and Share Co. in Cuba, was very busy behind the scenes before the election of 1924, and was instrumental in the election of Machado. Machado, besides being one of the largest shareholders of the Cuban Electric Co. owns cement works, paint factories and other enterprises in Cuba. The carretera, a 700-mile highway extending from one end of the island to the other, costing $100,000,000, and the new Capitol building in Havana, costing $20,000,- 000, were both built during the Ma- chado regime. The contracts for these two undertakings were mostly given to companies controlled by Ma- chado, who thus pocketed millions of dollars. Machado is intimately connected with the Chase National Bank, which controls the government finances of Cuba. Since 1925 the government debt has increased from $100,000,000 to $215,000,000. In 1928 Jose Obregon, son-in-law of Machado, was given a/| present of $500,000 for his share in arranging a $50,000,000 loan floated by the Chase National Bank, on which the latter cleared a profit of $3,300,- 000. At this time Obregon was joint manager of the Cuban branch of the bank, retsined at a salary of $19,- 000 a year. oF 1) Soon afver coming to power ih 1925 Machado boasted to his Wall Street masters: “Under my rule no strike in Cuba will last more than twenty- four hours.” The workers of Cuba, through a long series of militant strike struggles, have shown how empty was this boast. Machado, known as the “Man of a Thousand Murders,” who boasts of having withstood eighteen attempts on his life, has during eight years slaughtered the chief leaders of the workers and peasants: Yalob, Brou- zon, Brook, Wong, Grant, Varona, Lopez, and scores of others. In 1929 he sent his agents to Mexico to as- sassinate Julio A. Mella, a founder of the Communist Party of Cuba, and leader of the struggles of the Cuban masses. It is this same butcher Ma- chado whom American imperialism is attempting to maintain in power through the diplomatic intervention of Mr. Sumner Welles, recently ap- pointed American ambassador to Cuba. J. NEVARES With the close of this year's sugar milling season in Cuba, there also} culminated a stage in the develop-| ment of the Cuban working class movement, which is of the utmost significance for the entire revolu- tionary and anti-imperialist strug- | gle in the Caribbean countries, The sugar milling season this year was to be carried out under the conditions of the intensified and still | deepening crisis of capitalism and its imperialist domination in Cuba, ‘The conditions surrounding the mill- ing of the sugar crop were those Jaid | down by the drastic crop restric-| tions (from 2,700,000 tons last year | to 2,000,000 tons this year) provided under the Chadbourne Plan, and the Hawley-Smoot tariff of 2 cents per pound of Cuban sugar. | The burden of these measures) put into effect by Yankee imperial- ism was shifted on the shoulders) of the already starving working | masses of Cuba and particularly | upon the large mass of plantation | and sugar mill workers No Passive Mood | However, the masses of , workers of the sugar plantations as well as those of the mills were in no mood to accept passively those worsened conditions. The opening of the sugar milling season found the workers ready to resist further wage cuts and to struggle against imperialism and the terror regime of Machado, This was further made possible by the fact that the ground for the workers’ struggle was prepared by the First Sugar Workers’ Conference, which took place on December 1, 1932, on the eve of the milling seas- on, under the leadership of the re- yolutionary trade union movement, | the Confederacion Nacional Obrera (National Workers Confederation of Cuba) and of Tie Communist Party of Cuba, This Sugar #/orkers’ Con- ference, made up of worker delegates from the different sugar plantations and mills, discussed and formulated demands to be raised by the workers, laying the basis for the organization of these workers into the Sugar Workers Industrial Union. Strikes Develop Strike struggles developed through- out the island and particularly em- braced the sugar plantation workers as well as the mill workers of the Santa Clara Province, whose actions were prepared and led by the United Front Action and Strike Committees. The strikes were characterized by the revolutionary combativeness and initiative displayed by the masses, such as the formation of armed groups which in many cases re- pelled the attacks of the Machado military and of the company guards, and forcing their demands on the mill managements in the form of mass delegations, etc. Particularly outstanding is the example of the Nazaba) mill in Santa Clara Province, which was seized by the workers who hoisted the red flag. In this mill, as in others, the workers not only were able to resist the wage cuts but succeeded in forcing increases; par- ticularly striking is the case of the agricultural workers in planta- tions of Vega Lazarraga whose mi- ? original daily wages of 25 cents, but litant strike under revolutionary leadership not only won for them Struggles of the Cuban Sugar Workers an increase of 100 per cent in their after having won the increase, they | struck again, thus succeeding in| bringing thelr daily wage to 70 cents.

The leaders of the bourgeois-landiord opposition groups, like Machado, supporters of American Imperialism, and most if not all of them, will propably agree to a com- promise submitted by Welles. How quickly these leaders will openly sur- render will depend on whether they can keep their own followers from revolting against them. Unification of the bourgeois-landlord forces means a blow at the toiling masses of Cuba. ‘ The fight against the Welles in- tervention in Cuba is being carried on in Cuba by the revolutionary workers and farmers, under the lead- ership of the Communist Party of Cuba. The Communist Party of the U. S. A. supports wholeheartedly the the brave fight carried on by our Cuban comrades. It has set aside 23 to 29 as “Cuban Week.” The main features of that week are: it is difficult to are MACHADO 1—Open air meetings on Cuba, linking up with the August 1st anti-war campaign. 2—Adoption of resolutions to be forwarded to the Roosevelt Administration and to the Machado Gov- ernment. 3—Sale of the special Cuban issue of the Daily Worker (Wed- nesday, July 26th). 4—Collections and sale of stamps, proceeds to be sent to the Cuban revolutionary organizations. ‘We urge all revolutionary organizations and individuals to do their part in this Cuban week.

With the termination of the Sugar milling season, the Communist Party of Cuba and the revolutionary trade ‘union movement directed themselves omic struggles of the sugar workers, linking the demands of the few who rémain employed, with demands by the vast masses of plantation and mill workers. The continuation of this struggle will revolve around the demand for Social Insurance and immediate un- employed relief at the cost of the bosses and the government. The workers and all toilers of Cu- ba, as well as those of all other colonial and semi-colonial countries dominated by Yankee imperialism, support to their struggles.

Almost single changed the Cubar masses have fought the double mon- ster of United States imperialism and its Cuban tool, President G rdo Machado.

We must join hands in solidarity. Solidarity in action is our greatest strength. The Cuban workers showed this when they recently stormed the office of the American consulate in Santiago, demanding the release of the nine Scottsboro boys.

We must not fail. The moment is critical. The United States through Ambassador Sumner Welles has intervened in the well- known Yankee manner. With the club of the Platt Amendment in one hand, and its obedient servants, the bourgeois-landlord opposition in the other, imperialism is mobilizing its forces to crush the struggles of the Cuban masses for liberation.

Cuba, A Colony of United States Imperialisr By ROBERT DUNN T= Island of Cuba, which Theo- dore Roosevelt called “a part of our international system,” is an American “protectorate” seized in the war with Spain in 1893. Under the famous Platt Amendment to the Cu- ban constitution Cuba “consented”— under threat of marine force—to have the Wall Street government in- tervene at any time the latter saw fit “for the maintenance of a gov- ernment adequate for the protection ae. property and individual lib- Under this provision the United States has intervened with an army of occupation several times and has always opposed any Cuban revolu- tionary movement attempting to up- set the capitalist status quo in that country. INTERVENTION has naturally been not on behalf of “life” or “indi- eo. joer liberty.” It has always ain on behalf of “property.” And American property in Cuba is very considerable. For the six billion dollars invested by United States capitalists in Latin American coun- tries, a billion and a half is in Cuba. Wall Street has a bigger stake in Cuba than in any other Latin Amer- ican country. Cuba is the key to her Caribbean empire. Investments of Wall Street in that country have in- creased over 550 per cent since 1912. Although the United States has its most important Atlantic naval base at Guantanamo, Cuba, its still more strategic stake is in the investments in sugar, real estate, railroads, public utilities, tobacco, mines, banks and government bonds. In these very tangible items are found the reason for the iron tutelage the Yankee im- perialists hold over this island which has an estimated population of about, Wall Street has a Bigger Stake in Cuba thant in Any Other Latin-American Country 3,500,000. me puppet agents of Wall Street in Cuba have been literally on the payroll of Wall Street.
