what they term American imperialism
as a necessary prerequisite to the
successful development or the inter

the New World. The propagation or
Communist ideas and principles In
the various countries OF Latin Amer

Thus Latin America and Mexico are
conceived as a base for activity
against the United States.
nCommunists in the United states

devote special attention TO the strug'

LATIN America and to the organiza-

whole American continent, embrac-

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:
1.-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. ;

Latin America also can and must

into the struggles against the impe-
rialism of the United States
During the past few years the Boil
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 We're issued to the Com
munists in the United States in the
resolution of the American question
adopted at the h~enlarged pIenary
session of the executive committee of
the Communist International at Mos
cow on March 10, 1926. It pointed out
TO the American Communist party
the tremendous importance which the
labor movement land the movement
for independence is assuming in the
countries of South America. 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
Latin 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 colonies Of Cuba. the
Philippines, etc, and support them in
their fight against American imperial.
