The Communist Party of Austria will from
grow much faster than before and thus build up a
power strong enough to lead the workers to strug-
gle and eventual victory.
Peace in Nicaragua regns supreme. In order to
prove this to everybodys satisfaction the military
forces of American imperialism in Nicaragua have
staped little "peace party" which resulted in some
two hundred Ncaraguans being wounded, murdered
or crippled for fe The American imperialists must
be feeling very proud of their accomplishments be-
cause these latter show that the young and mex
perenced" imperialism of the United States is fast
mastering the arts of colonial oppression and al
ready has nothing to learn from the older colonial
robbers such England France, Belgium, etc.
Coolidge very likely continues to enjoy his vaca-
tom without much being disturbed by these happen
ngs What are several hundred lives of Nicaraguans
in the scheme of conquering Latin-America for the
big capitalists of the United States? Nothing of
course And as to the good will of the Iatin-Amer-
lean peoples, this again nothing to the Amer
lean mperalists. The ruling class of the United
States is out to subject the Latin-American coun-
tries to its domination and is proceeding to accom-
plish this end by all means at its disposal. The
fact that these developments are leading straight
to war is only additional in the eyes of
the American imperialists for strengthening its
military forces and for suppressng the labor move
ment at home.
American Imperialism is becoming a menacing
and cruel reality not only for The peoples of the So
called colonial countries but also for the American
masses themselves. Militarism and navalism are
beginning to show their teeth. The conception of
civil liberties Of the old pre-imperialist days is los
ing all meaning. Big capital is establishing itself
supreme in the economic and political life of the
country against the overwhelming majority of
its toling population Imperalist war has become
a costant everyday danger.
The Nicaraguan developments cannot be ignored
as they signalze the approach of serious dangers
The Coolidge administration to feel quite safe
in proceeding with its present course and will IN
doubleday go to the whole length towards large
scale imperlalists wars of conquest. The anti-in-
perlast and anti-war elements in the United States
must make haste in their preparations for struggle
II thelr efforts are to be in any way effective But
most of all does this condition call for preparation
on the part Of the American working class and IFS

American Federation of Labor is about to omen its
proceedings in Washington, D. c. 1t will he ax
tremey interesting to see what this congress win

american imperialism in Latin-Amerca generally.
me real nature of the Pan-American Federation
OF Labor, as far as it's dominating influences arr
concerned, is by this time well-known Suffice II n
mention the fact that its president and treasurer are
wlnam Green and Matthew Vol, respectively of
ene american Federation of Labor. These two
@ortmes are carrying on the, Gompers policy Of
making the Pan-American Federation of Labor serve
the interests of American Imperialism in Latin
America And it is for this reason that the wor;
masses OF Latin-America viewing with the great
est suspicion the activities of the leaders Of tbe
Pan-American Federation of Labor.
The burning need for joint struggle by the work.
rfs 81 aii the Americas is beyond question. Never
perhaps in the history of this part of the world
were the workers of the American countries in
greater need OF common organization and common
struggle against the native and foreign exploiters
particularly against the mperalist oppression and
exploitation of the United States But the reac
tonary leadership of the Pan-American Federation
OF Labor has been developing the Organization =,
an entely different direction. In the hands of these
reacuonary leaders, particularly those representing
tne American Federation of Labor and DOMINATING
the whole movement, the organization has become
an instrument for the subjugaton of the Latin
