for not only from the exploits of American i'm
perialism in China against the Soviet Union, but
also from its outrageous performances in Latin
America. 1t is herein the Philippines, Haiti, Santo
Domingo, Nicaragua. Mexico, etc.-that American
imperialism is exhibiting its ugliest face. And i
is the sharpening of American imperialist policies
in Latn-America that is pregnant with the most In.
mediate dangers.
The peoples of the colonies opP--sd by An,e
lean Imperialism, well the nations of Latin
America general, are becoming ever more resentful
of American imperialist exploitation. They cannot
and will not make peace with situation which
dooms them to disgrace and slavery. They cannot
and will not surrender their national independence,
their freedom and their selfrespect for the glory
and profits of the big capitalists of the United
States. And the question is: Where are we heading
to? What is bound to be the outcome?
American labor must give thought to this situa-
ton The American farmers, exploited and ignored
and nsulted by big capital and its government must
also wake up to these dangers And should the
truly liberal, anti-war and ant-imperiast sections
of the poorer middle classes. Big capital and its
political servants are proceeding full speed ahead
and they will not be stopped their disastrous
course by sweet sounding phrases and pous wishes
from the opposition An organized militant and
powerful anti-war and anti-imperialist movement,
backed by large masses of workers and farmers,
this is the first condition for the beginning of
successful struggle against the danger. No time
must be lost for developing such movement.
THE efforts of the American section of the All
American Anti-Imperialist League should be
given all possible support. First, because this Or
ganization submits clear program and a definite
practical policy for launching real anti-imperiast
movement in the United States Second it has proven
in actual deeds its ability to arouse and organize
sentiment in favor of the peoples oppressed by
American and world Imperialism. Third it has a
world outlook which is essential in the present
age of world imperiaist conflicts for truly anti
movement even national scale It was one
of the American organizations represented at the
world anti-imperiaist conference held recently in
Brussels, Belgium. Fourth, it is a militant organiza
ton and 1t has clear realization of the Importance
of labor and farmer elements their organized sup
port and struggle, condition for the effective
ness of an American anti-fmperialist movement.
And, fifth, it is not sectarian It proposes and
fights for real united front of all truly ant;,n,
perialst and anti-war elements and groups in one
common movement against American Imperialism
and against the war danger

construction League held in Washington D. c.. this
week The announced purpose of the conference is
to arouse and mobilize sentiment against the i'm
periast policies of the Coolidge administration
This is vital and important purpose which can
be materialZed only by the widest united front
movement in which the workers and farmers must
play substantial and basic role. The proposals of
the All-Amercan nti-Imperialist League point the
way to the successful consummation of such OBJ
jective.
Anti-mperiast sentiment in the United States
is undoubtedly growing fast result of the
sharpening aggressions of American imperialism
in Latin America China, the hostility towards the
Soviet Union, etc. This is obvious from the fact
that even Governor Lowden finds it expedent to
pick up the issue of anti-imperalism. Thomas P.
Moffat former United States envoy to Nicaragua
and now head of the Lowden for President Asso-
citation, Inc, of New York, issued statement on
Lowdens policies in which he says:
No anti-imperialist can view with alarm or
leap with joy to the heights at the manner in
which our foreign affairs have been handled
in China, Mexico and Nicaragua To saw the
least, our attempted diplomacy has not been of
high order or one of which the people may
be proud. Governor Lowden is absolutely OPP
posed to Imperialism in any form, in China,
Mexico, Nicaragua any part of the world
and has so declared
IheSe are Welgnty words, and II earnestly meant
they are committing Lowden and his spokesman to
program Of serious struggle against Big Capital
The question raise Isl How much earnestness
and sincerity is there in these pronouncements from
the Lowden camp? How much trust can the toiling
masses of America place in such statements from
leading politicians of the Republican party?
These are no idle questions. For this reason that
a real struggle against American Imperialism means
militant struggle against Big Capital, against its
economic and political domination 1t means de-
termined political fight against the Republican and
Democratic parties the agents of Big Capital.
1t means the mobilization Of the organized power

struggle against Coolidge, if it is to benefit the
toiling masses must be struggle against Big Capt.
tai and struggle against the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties. This requires a United Front of
Labor on the political field. This requires a Labor
Party backed by the trade unions and the workers
generally This also requires firm political ALI
ance between Labor and the working farmers. And
towards these ends must be directed the efforts Of
all progressive and militant elements in the workers
and farmer organizations.

ORDER RESCUES
FINE TREES

The District street widening pro-
gram was temporarily suspended
today when the District Commits,
sioners issued an order hating the
obstruction Washington's beautiful
old shade trees.
When the order was issued work
men were already engaged in cut
ting down ninety-five Norway and
silver maple trees on Connecticut
Avenue between Dupont Circle and
Florida Avenue. Superintendent of
Trees and Parkings, Clifford Lam
ham. estimated that about half of
these have already been cut down.
Nearly 100 naples on Fifteenth
Street, between ] Street and
Massachusetts, Avenue have already
been removed. The widening of this
street, will, therefore. not be
stopped.
More than 20 fine old Norway
naples on Thirteenth Street be-
tween I Street and Massachusetts
Avenue were temporarily saved by
the order. They were the next
scheduled to go.
The Commissioners order was
issued today as the result of many
protests over the destruction of
some of Washington finest trees
in order to make way for street
widening. The order is understood
to be of temporary nature in
order to give the Commissioners
time to sound out public opinion.
It is quite possible that public
hearing will be held to determine
whether or not to proceed with the
street widening program.

REIGN
COMES TO END

william II. Harland, railroad
signal expert. was today sworn in
as Traffic Director for the District

Harland's oath was administered
by Daniel f. Garages, secretary to
the Board of Commissioners, in the
office OF Commissioner Proctor L.
Dougherty before the District Com
missioners and heads of departments
in the District government.
The ceremony was very informal,
with no speeches. Immediately fol-
lowing the administration of the
oath Eldridge walked up and shook
hands with his new chief. saying:
II want to be the first one to
congratulate YOU
Director Harland refused to dis
cuss his policies. I'm going slow
and study in my job before do
any talking" he said. First. / am
going to learn my job and then I
will get to work"
Harland had hardly been sworn
in before the Commissioners referred
to him "for consideration and
report" the proposed change in the
regulations to forbid the use of
Sixteenth Street between Florida
Avenue and Alaska Avenue to
heavy trucks. A public hearing
was held on this proposal last week.
