L3 TEXT Communists in This Country Urged to Co-operate With Latin American “Comrades” Against U. S. Editor's note: A now celebrated Aassociated Press dispatch of No- vember 18, 1926, which reported exzclusively the Government's con- cern over its information respect- ing Ddolshevist activities in Latin America, became the subject of wide controversy and the vehicle lor an_attack on the State Depart- 1ent by those who take issue with Ehe premises on which the depart- went is conducting its policy, par- icularly with respect to Nicaragua nd Mezico. iThe aocuracy with which the ':uormved Press, eight weeks ago, isclosed the mews in the Latin Awmerican crisis_may be judged from the following text of Secre- tary’s Kellogg's statement to the Senate foreign relations commit- tee: Secretary Kellogg's statement to the Senate foreign relations commit- tee yesterday was captioned, “‘Bolshe- vik ‘Aims and Policies in Mexico and Latin America,” and was as follows: “The bolshevik leaders have had very definite ideas with respect to the role which Mexico and Latin Amer’ are to play in their general program of world revolution. “They have set up as one. of their fundamental tasks the destruction of what they term American imperialism as a necessary prerequisite to the successful development of the inter rational revolutionary movement in the New World. The propagation of Communist ideas and principles in ihe various countries of Latin Amer- ica is considered secondary to.the car- rving on of propaganda against the aims and policies of the United States. Thus Latin America and Mexico are conceived as a base for activity inst the United States. o ommunists in the United States have been repeatedly instructed to devote special attention to the strug- «le aguinst ‘American imperialism’ in imtin America and to the organiza- tion of resistance to the United States. Bolshevik aims in this re- spect were succinctly set forth in a resolution of the Third Congress of the Red International of Trade Unions, July 8:22, 1924, as follows. It was resolv Would Unite Against United States. “w s 4 To unite the national struggle against American imperial- ism in individual countries in a gen- eral movement on a scale of the whole American continent, embrac- ing the workers of all countries of Latin America and the revolutionary forces of the United States. Mexico is a natural connecting link between the movement of the United States of North America and Latin America, therefore, Mexico must be the center of union. “@ * e 7. In the name of the Trade Union Educational League of the United States, to appeal to the toilers of Latin America with a call to create a united front against Amer- ican imperialism. * * *’ “Similarly, a representative of the American Communist party, speaking at the sixth session of the enlarged executive committee of the Com- munist International on February 4, 1926, declared: “The last and most important task of our party is the fight against imperialism. The Communist party of America must become the de- fender of the oppressed peoples of Latin America. The time is not long distant when Latin America will be- come the China of the Far West and Mexico the Canton of Latin America.’ “In the theses approved at the fifty- eighth session of the enlarged execu- tive committee of the Communist In- ternational, it is stated, with respect to Latin America: Hits American “Imperialism.” *“ ‘Latin America also can and must Secome a basis of support of the libera- tion movement against imperiatsm (against the imperialism of the United' States). In the present state of things, the nations living in Latin America are as a majority oppressed ‘nations which sooner or later will be drawn into the struggles against the impe- rialism of the United States.’ “During the past few years the Bol- shevik leaders have been giving more and more attention to anti-American activities in Mexico and Latin Ameri- ca. The Communists in the United States have been criticized for not dis- playing sufficient energy in this sphere. Very specific instructions in this regard were issued ‘to the Com- munists in the United States in the ‘resolution of the Anierican question’ adopted at the sixth-enlarged plenary session of the executive committee of the Communist International at Mos- cow on March 15, 1926. It pointed out ‘to the American Communist party the tremendous importance which the Jabor movement (and the movement for independence) is assuming in the countries of South Amerlca. There is no doubt that in the future struggle for the overthrow of the yoke of bourgeoisie of the United States, the working class and the peasantry of Tatin America will play a tremen- dous role. The American Communist party must not be a party of self- centered interests, but must become A party which understands how to raise the question of the hegemony of the proletariat in the whole movement for freedom, which is directed against the imperialists of the United States. Moreover it is necessary that the workers (Communist) party maintain the closest contact with the labor movement in the colonles of Cuba, the Philippines, etc., and support them in . :hclr fight against American imperial- sm.” Urges Communists to Aid. * ‘In view of this the executive com- miittee of the Communist International instructs the central committee of the n Communist party to devote the most serious attention to the tasks cited and abo all _to_appoint an After 9 Years She Eats | - And Sleeps “I had stomach trouble for 9 years, and the gas pressure in my stomach made me restless and { nervous.

OF KELLOGG STATEMENT ON BOLSHEVIK AIMS IN MEXICO earnest group of party workers to participate in the current, work ir Latin America in agreement with the presidium of the executive com mittee of the Communist Interna- tional.’ | “In_accordance with Moscow's in structions, the American Communists during the last two years have been placing special emphasis on their anti-American work in Mexico anc Latin America. Considerable attere tion was given to this matter at the fourth convention of the workers’ (Communist) party {n Chicago, August 21-80, 19 A special organization known as the All-America Anti- Imperialist League has been created by the American Communsts to carry out the instructions of Moscow in the matter of organizing Latin America against the United States. The fol- lowing is taken from a report on ‘anti-imperialist work’ delivered at the fourth national convention referred * the outstanding feature of our work against American im- perialism is that it has entered the field of active practical co-operation with the oppressed peoples of Amer- fcan imperialism, the most important step in this connection being the successful organization of the All- American Anti-Imperialist League. Directs Party’s Program. *“‘In January of this year (1923) a subcommittee as elected by the central executive committee, which as- sumed charge of all the anti-imperial- ist activities of the party. This com- mittee prepared material for cam- palgns, furnished articles on imperial- ism for the party press, drew up manifestoes and leaflets, and was the medium through which the part, operated with anti-imperialist or zations in Latin America. Manifestoes were issued to the Cuban Labor Con- gress held at Havana, to the Inter- national Marine Transport Workers' Convention held at New Orleans, sev- eral manifestoes to the Mexican workers and to the Filipinos, a spe- clal May day manifesto to the workers of Latin America, a manifesto in con- nection with the Tacna-Arica affair and other manifestoes and leaflets which will be referred to later on. *“ ‘Direct contact with Mexico was maintained throughout the period through the visits of Comrades John- stone, Gomez and Lovestone to Mexice and through steady correspondence. Comrade Wagenknecht visited the Philippines and established connec- tions there. , Correspondence connec- tlons were also established with greater or less success with practical- ly every country in Latin America as well as with Hawaii ard the Philip- pines. Through our activities five Filipino delegates were secured for the international transport conference in Canton, for which our party was commended by the Communist Inter- national. “‘Our party has carried on a con- sistent campaign, both in this country and in Latin America, against the “labor imperialism” of the so- called Pan-American Federation of Labor. Comrade Johnstone attended the convention of the Pan-American Federation of Labor at Mexico City in November of st year, (1924) and co-operated with the Mexican party in its strategy in connection 'with this convention. ¢ Comrades Sent fo Mexiéo. “‘Comrade Gomez was sent to Mexico in_ April of this year (1925) and attended the convention of the Communist party of Mexico as frater- nal delegate from our party, During his visit plans for joint action of the Mexican, Central American and United States parties against imperialist policies of the Pan-American Federa- tion of Labor were adopted. “‘Our party was largely instru- mental in the establishment of the All-America Anti-Imperialist League. ¢ ® % The league is a non-partisan international organization, admitting to affiliation all groups in’the Ameri- cas willing to take ‘up. the fight against American imperialism, It alms to glve driving force and cen- tralized expression to the national liberation movements in Latin Amer- | ica, Hawail, the Philippine Islands, | etc., in alliance with the movement of this country. ‘“ “The All-American Anti-Imperial- ist League has a special secretariat| located in Mexico City, under whose supervision the monthly Spanish lan- guage, organ of the league, which has now published five issues, is edited, as well as special manifestoes, leaflets, etc. Our party has contributed toward defraying the expenses of the monthly magazine El Libertador and toward other expenses of the Mexico City secretariat, but lack of funds has made it impossible to give adequate support in this respect. Branches in Latin America. “ ‘A regular section of the All-Amer- ica Anti-Imperialist League has been formed in Cuba, with Julio Antonio Mella as secretary, and s extremely active, holding mass meetings, lec- tures, etc. Labor, peasant and stu- dent organizations in Costa Rica, Panama, Salvador and Peru have af- fillated with the league, but no regz- ular sections have been formed in those countries as yet.

This resolution pointed out that ‘there is sufficient homogeneity to per- mit the building of a powerful conti- nental movement of workers and farmers against American imperial- ism, and sufficient rsentment due to the ‘occupation of the Central Ameri- can and Caribean countries, the sus. taining of autocracles such as those of Venezuela and Peru by United States aid, the interference in the internal affairs of all of the countries, the system of financial and military ad- visers, the monopolistic Monroe doc- trine and the robbery of the tremen- dous natural resources of Latin America. Refers to Philippines. “The resolution declared that there were millions groaning unger the American imperialist rule in the Phil- ippines, Porto Rico, Cuba, Mexico, Haiti, etc., and that it was the task of the Communists to give active support to the antiamerican move. ments in the various countries in Latin America. The resolution con- tinues: *‘ ‘42, There is a strong tradition of Latin_American solidarity which is a historic force for thé unification of the anti-imperialist movements of the various Latin American countries. This will be an important weapon in the struggle against Wall Street. The All-American Anti-imperialist League was created as the expression of the liberating movement of all the exploit- od peoples of the continent. The Workers' Party took part in the cre- ation. Represented in the league are also the Communist parties of Mexico, Central America and South America, as well as student groups, labor organ- izatlons, peasant leagues and national societies in various countries. ‘‘'43. For us, the league constitutes an organizational expression of our determination to fight side by side with the exploited peoples of Amer- ica’s colonies and semi-colonies. While we strive to make the groups affil; iated to the All-America Anti-imper- alist League recognized in the Com- munists and Communist international the leaders of the world struggle against imperialism, we must work conscientiously to build up' the league itself, to push it into activity and to make of it a powerful driving force nl,lr the overthrow of American imperi- alism.

American imperialism is able to win over large sections of the American workers by sharing with them a small part of superprofits, and continues to extend hegemrony in for- eign fields. However, the steady ex pansion of American capitalism upon an imperialist basis is accompanied by the enormous extenson of the vul- nerable surface which it presents to attack. Recent months have fur- nished striking evidence of the wide- spread movement for Latin American unity agaipst Wall Strect. We cite particularly the present attitude of the Calles government in Mexico—its general Latin Americanism, its policy in Central America, its tendency to- ward co-operation with the All-Amer- ica Anti-Imperialist League, and the decision of President Calles to send a personal representative to the Brussels world conference against imperialism. Aid for Revolutionists. ‘“ ‘The Comintern has repeatedly in- dicated that a. basic task of any party situated in an imperialist country is to stimulate and give aid to the na- tionalist and national revolutionary movements in the colonial and semi- colonial countries under the heel of imperialism. This, together with the work among the American masses, form ‘the basis of our party work. While our party has made consider- able progress in anti-Imperialist work, it is still far from a proper realiza’ tion of the importance of this work. A far greater proportion of the party’s resources must be utilized in antl-imperialist activities. District executive committees must have standing subcommittees on anti-im- perfalist activity, and these must be directed by capable comrades. party machinery on a district as well as a national scale must be drawn into this work. “‘The antl-imperialist work has been greatly hampered by lack of sufficlent comrades, The party must take measures to create and train a corps of comrades engaged directly in anti-imperialist work. “‘In_spite of many handicaps, we have done much to build the All- American Anti-Imperialist League into an organization engaged in actual struggle against imperialism. We have carried on systematic work Inside of the Pan-American Federa- tion of Labor and have achieved gome valuable results there. We have particlpated in work against ited States imperialism in & numbér of notably Mexico, Porto Rico, Cuba, Panama and Peru. We have also established some contact with the Philippine in-, dependence movement, although we have yet to establish our own nucleus there. * “The main task for the period im- mediately ahead is the buflding of 3 substantial section of the AAAIL (All-American Anti-Imperialist League) in the United States itself, be accomplished through the affli- ation of groups organized around specific issues, such as hands-off- Mexico committees, etc. The workers (Communist) party must remain the central factor in the United States section of the AAAIL, grouping around itself as closely as possible other working-class organizations.’ “The significance of Mexico in the eyes of the so-called Soviet govern- ment is revealed in the folowing ex- tract from the report of Tchitcherin, made at the third session of the union central executive committee in March, ‘Resumption of “diplomatic rela- tions with Mexico: In America, in this manner, we still stand before a ques- tion mark.

LSO\ and Now MUSIC NOVAES—BORI RECITAL. Gulomar Novaes, Brazillan pianisti established a Washington record for enthusiastic response from a morning musical audience in her debut recital under the auspices of Mrs. Lawrence Townsend, at the Mayflower Hotel yes- terday. Mme. Novaes' reputation as a much-appreciated artist in New York preceded her, and her playing more than verified reports. She has the ability to make the piano sound like a harp in the Gluck-Saint Saens “Les Airs de Ballet” from “Alceste,” to give dreamy guitarlike notes to Niemann’s “Night in Sevilla,” to in- fuse pulsing life into Albeniz’ “Tango,"” and give the dash and color of de Falla’s “Andaluza” with unerring sym- pathy to the modernistic composition. Also of the ultra-modern school was her one encore, “Jeune Fille au Jar- din,” by Mompou, one of the members of the younger Spanish school of music. The wit that came through in this sketch and also in the “Poli- chinelle” of Lobos was amazingly portrayed by this pianist. Mme. No- vaes has such admirable technique that nobody notices it at all. Her touch is full of individual magic and her interpretations are of the kind that only the greatest pianists com- mand. Out of the Latin element, which proved the dominant quality of the morning, but equally fascinatingly interpreted, were the ‘“‘Serenatta” of Richard Strauss and Godowski’s arrangement of Johann Strauss’ “Fledermaus.” Sharing the program with Mme. No- vaes and welcomed warmly as a favor- ite artist who is too rarely heard in Washington was Lucrezia Bori—Borl, the singer who makes a complete beauty of each word she sings. The two arfas from the ‘“Marrlage of Figaro,” by Mozart, were charmingly done; the old Itallan songs of Pergo- esi and Scarlatti were exquisite, but it was In the Spanish group—-Tus Ojillos Negros,” by de Falla; Serrano’s’ “Marinella,” and, most of all, the Spanish folk song, ‘“‘Seguidella”—that me. Bori was most appreciated. She had an able accompanist in Frederick Bristol, when, in the encore, the familiar “Clavelitos,” his music slipped on the rack, he caught the second's change in this swiftly sung song ex- cellently. There are few singers who can sing these Latin gongs in a fash- fon that gives understanding with an American audience- Mme. Bori has that ebility.

The annual dance and festival of the Americanization School Association was given last night at the Washing- ton City Club. This school was organ- 1zed in 1923 for the benefit of foreign- ers residing in Washington, its subject being to instill American’ ideas and customs into its studerits. The early portion of the evening's program was devoted to selections by the association orchestra. This is a typical school organization, although it 1s better balanced than the usual run of such orchestras. The plaving was satisfactory, though at times lacking expression. Among the num- bers rendered were Brahm's- “Hun garian Dance No. 5, Linke's “Spring, Beautiful Spring,” and Tschaikowski's “Cossack Revels.' ‘An interesting group of Czechoslo- vakian dances was presented by Mrs. Fisa and Miss de Lalande. Vladimir ‘Vasa, Czechoslovakian pianist, accom- panied them and also played a solo fumber. Miss Eidhammer and J.

Morris Plan borrower gives to his bank a note signed by himself and two of his friends—it is a deposit of honor— a pledge of faith. That 1s what we mean when we say that this bank has loaned millions of dollars on character. And The Morris Plan borrower promises to pay, and he can and does pay, because the repayment plan of The Morris Plan is geared down to meet his earning ability. Instead of a big payment at any one time, weekly, semi- monthly or monthly installments are made out of income. That s what we mean wh;n we say that this bank has loaned millions of dollars on income. Thus character and income, like atoc-ks. bonds and mort: gages, are security for loans on The Morris Plan, and they are the best collateral on earth. There is no mystery about loaning money on such an in- tangible quality—something that you cannot touch, weigh or measure by the yard, for The Morris Plan Banks in America have already loaned over three quarters of a billion of dollars to over three million American citizens in every walk of life, for every proper repson’ under the sun—if or the advancement and happiness of as ‘many American homes. .
