ganized workers-the Communists-oi
France were aiding the Riffs in their
struggle to gain independence. He
brout out that not only are French
Communists aiding the Riffs in words
but also in deeds, and that the French
government has jailed one Of the Com
munist members of the chamber OF
deputies for his activities against the
French imperialist policy.
Manuel Gomez, secretary of the All
America Anti-Imperialist League, was
applauded when he said that nothing
can destroy a powerful, resolute, de-
termined movement Of oppressed peo-
pies for national liberation"
"But the American aviators," con-
tinued Gomez, "have a sinister signi-
fcance. Here we have a situation
where a nation is trying to rise, try
ing to find it's feet. To the Rifians,
these American aviators represent
America
"In the Riff we see an alignment
of forces which is worldwide. All
over the world, the big and powerful
nations and trying to bring the weak
err and more undeveloped ones under
their control
"Of all the imperialist nations, the
United States is the most aggressive,
the most militant, and the most
powerful. During the past twenty
years we have witnessed an enorm-
GUS expansion Of American imperial
ism. The United States is trying to
embrace the whole world.
But there is a strong movement
against this growth of American i'm
perialism. This movement finds its
expression in the Americas in the
All-America Anti-Imperialist League,
whose aim is to unity and coordinate
the struggle against imperialism of
peoples all over the world.
THE All-America Anti-Imperialist
League will fight against the Monroe
doctrine, which gives the United
States the right to exploit and Cypress
the nations of Latin-America.
'The All-America Anti-Imperialist
League will fight the so-called peace
full penetration of China.
"The All-American Anti-Imperialist
League will fight for equal social,
economic and political rights for Ne
groes, and for all races.
These ends cannot be attained un-
less we overthrow the powers that
rule America.
THE All-America Anti-Imperialist
League was founded less than a year
ago. 1t now has living sections organ
lied in Cuba, Mexico, Central Amer
lea, and section is growing up in
the PHILIPPINES.
Il am going to ask all those of you
who want to fight American imperial
ism to join tonight in forming a sec
ton of the All-America Anti-Iimperial-
ist League"
Resolution Unanimously Adopted
The following resolution presented
by Manuel Gomez, secretary of the
All-America Anti-Imperialist League,
was unanimously adopted by the meet
ing protesting against the use of
American aviators in the war on the
Riffs.
American adventurers and SOL
diers of fortune, who were trained
as aviators in the great imperlalist
slaughter of 1e14-1s, have crossed
over into Africa and are fighting on
the side Of the French robbers in
their war against the brave Rlffian
tribes struggling for independence.
American Hypocrisy.
While these aviators now fighting
Abd-el-Krim were still in America
preparing to 90 to Africa, and while
the United States government was
still able to stop them, it made no
effort to prevent their going. Some
Of the aviators received passports
from the government after they had
specifically declared their intention
OF fighting the Riffians.
No amount Of hypoeritieal evasion
can conceal the hostility of the IN
tied States government to the ma
tlonal movements OF oppressed peo-
Piles. We call the attention Of the
American workers, and Of all lovers
Of liberty, to this fact.
New Spirit Arises.
Among the darker races all over
the world, there has risen a new
wave of the struggle for freedom.
In the Riff country Of northern A.
rIea, In Mesopotamia and China, in
india and the PHILIPPINE Islands, In
Jamaica, Porto Rico, Panama, and
the other countries to the south Of
us, the people are demanding the
right to conduct their own affairs
free from the Interference Of fore
ign powers.
We declare that Il is the duty Of
all Intelligent, iberty-lovlng Me-
sroes In this country 10 stand by
their brothers In foreign countries
In those struggles.
We declare that the reason
