owing program fer work in suppOr
OF Philippine independence and flo
Inc struggle in the Philippine
against both the American and ma

farmers of that country.
PHILIPPINE PROGRAM
j. That We foster an intense ma
uonallst spirit and a hatred of Amer
Ican Imperialism in the Philippine
Islands. In this propaganda it is oul
task 70 point out continually that the
american workers and farmers are
me only friends the Filipino peopIe
nave in the United States and t6at
lJ IS only the American caDtiIjsfs Who
oIe the enemies OF the Filipino Deo-
pie. F00'
2. That we endorse the Philippina
boycott against goods of American
capitalists and that we recon-
mend to the F'ilipinos to organize
thelr boycott in such a fashion as to
hII American business interests where
y hufIs them most and is most effec-
liFe, instead Of a general boycott
winch might tend to- dissipate the
usefulness of this weapon.
.. That we encourage the supDort
OIL The popular freedom loan to aid tba
independence movement.
4. That we encourage the narti-
clpatlOn by the workers and tenant
farmers in the movement for national
freedom as members of the working
classes. Here we must point out that
the workers participating in this
struggle are engaged in the conflict
IN order to enchance their own class
interests and not the sake of promot- /
ing the welfare of their native bonr-
geO5ls as against the foreign Annri- [
can capitalits.
3. That we call upon the workers
and tenant farmers to organize sDp-
cIal class divisions of the loan cam
palgn and to secure special WORKING
and farming class representation cS
ali missions and committees DEALING
with independence problems. This
IS essential because of the fact that
the best fighters in the PHILIPPINES
and In the United States for Filinino
teedom are the workers and farmers
Of both nations.
T. That We draw the attention of (
Jha Philippine workers and farmers
