CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 9.-Anti-
imperial week was brought to close
here on Sunday July 5, by mon
ster demonstration on the public
square. Fifteen hundred workers of
all nationaIlties listened for hours to
the anti-imperiaist speeches made by
members Of the Workers (commun-
ist) Party the Young Workers
League, and the Kuo Min Tang.
Over a thousand voices cheered
when the appeal of the All-America
Anti-Imperialist League, calling for
united action of all labor organiza-
tons demanding: Hands off China"
was read.
Soviet Union Greatest Friend.
Comrade James Hamilton, local or
ganizer Of the Workers Party, open
ed the meeting with a speech on the
conditions in China and the effect of
imperialist policies upon the working
class. He called upon the workers of
every race to join the Workers Com
munist) Party which is the only fight
er against the capitalist system which
enslaves all workers regardless of
race or nationality. He showed that
in the struggle of the Chinese work
ers and students against the imperial
list robbers, Soviet Russia was their
greatest friend and helper.
Cheer Chinese Speaker.
The secretary of the Cleveland
branch of the Kuo Min Tang, Brother
Hong, then mounted the rostrum. He
was greeted with thunderous applause
in recognition of the valiant strug-
gle. now being waged by the Kuo
Min Tang in China. Brother Hong
told of the brutal manner in which
the Chinese workers were treated by
the foreign imperialists who have en-
trenched themselves in China by mill
tary force.
He was heartily cheered when he
asked; What would you American
workers do if you had to work IA
and 16 hours day for low wages
in a mill where your overseer was
free to beat you, and if you were
accountable not to American courts
but to the courts set up by foreign
consul? You would fight, wouldn't
you? Well, that is what the Chinese
workers and Students are doing. They
are fighting % free themselves from
the rule of the capitalists and to get
China for the Chinese" Brother Hong
expressed the appreciation of his or
ganization of the work being done
by the Workers Party and the Com
munists of the world to help China
in her struggle for liberation from
the imperialistic rule of France, Japan
and Great Britain.
Youth First Victims.
The position of the young workers
under imperialistic capitalism was
then exposed by Comrade Carl Weiss
berg, local organizer of the Young
Workers League. He showed that
under Imperialism wages and work
ing conditions are lowered thru the
competition of colonial workers and
that the young worker is the first vic
tim of the poorer conditions. He also
pointed out that unless the American
workers fight against Imperialism
they will be permitting the establish
ment of great military machine
which the American bosses will en-
ploy to beat the workers at home in
to submission to the capitalist sys-
tenn.
Comrade Weissberg explained that
the young workers would be the first
victims of the inevitable imperialist
war, and called upon all workers to
