Labor Defense Explains
Vajtauer's Deportation;
He Fought u. S. Empire

(By international, Labor Defense.l
The International Labor Defense
has the unenviable task of reporting
that Comrade Emanuel Vaitauer, late
editor of "Obrana" left this country
the other day on a deportation order
of the Department of Labor.
The Najtauer case is typical of the
many cases of anti-working class ac-
ton by the bosses. Coming to this
country legally in 1923, Vajtauer at
once became active in the ranks of
the Czecho-Slovakian workers. Soon
he took over the editorship Of the
"Obrana."
Bosses Hate.
He incurred the wrath of the bosses
as all honest class-conscious fighters
do. In 1924, he was arrested as the
result of an anonymous complaint
to the effect that he was "inciting
the people against the government .
On the basis Of THAT report, depor-
tation order was filed against him.
~ N0o ANACetHGu 1LOil Ellis ISiuIlu on
$4,000 bail.
The International Labor Defense
took the case to the Supreme Court.
The opposition of the bosses was too
strong, and at the beginning of this
year, the Supreme Court resolved that
Vajtauer be deported. In spite of all
the persecution, Vajtauer's spirit re-
mained unbroken---his opposition to
Imperialism unwavering.
Fight U. S. Imperialist.
In bidding farewell to the LID.
he made the significant statement:
mo matter where one goes, the U.
S. Imperialism can be fought"
The International Labor Defense
sends its greetings of solidarity with
its splendid fighter, Emanuel Val
tauer. All who believe such deporta-
tions are anti-working class, should
join the LID. so that we can better
fight them. =.

| declared would add to national pros

advantage of national or business ac-
| tivity, Mr.. Martin made recon-
mendation regarding the removal Of
| tariff barriers. as follows:
~"All goods legally cleared for ship
ment from q given country TO be free
| from the imposition of tariff duties
or regulations promulgated after the
goods have left the country Of their
origin, or a provision Of definite
period of time between publication of
new customs regulations and their
application"
Mr. Martin explained that out of 10S
| world countries 100 have some form
of import duties. necessary not only
for purposes of revenue but with a
view to protecting and developing
economic activities.
Nevertheless, in this, as in so many
other things" he said, modern pro-
cedure has frequently been lost sight
of and restrictions and conditions havt
been imposed on the movement of
goods internationally that have proved
severe handicaps to both producers
and buyers, to exporting and import
ing countries. 1t is this phase Of
the situation to which the world is
now directing its attention, striving
in every possible way to free inter-
national trade from the burdens and
handicaps that are necessary, tha! are
dictated by no national expediency,
that result in no increase Of national
or individual wealth and that repre-
sent. practically in totality, economic
motion that should be gotten rid Of"
Need of Cooperation.
A deep sense of this situation, pro-
duced by the exactions of more than
26 separate economic and political
continental entities, Mr.. Martin de-
clared, resulted in the recent mani
festo by group of international bank
ers. The spirit of this manifesto is
now being carried forward by the In
ternational Chamber of Commerce. he
said, and will be further ventilated at
| the World Economic Conference at
| Geneva.
This same initiative could we'll be
| applied to the Western hemisphere,
Mr.. Martin contended, where 81 repub-
| lies, with different laws and govern
ments and an ever-increasing volume
of commerce. make future needs of
cooperation imperative.
Imports into the United States from
Latin America during 1925 were larger
than any preceding year except 1918
and totaled $1,094 900, 900. an increase
Of 3la per cent over the preceding
year. Imports exceed exports to Lat.
in America by some 100000 600, this
| country taking 80 per cent of the
total of Latin American exports.
Some so per cent of these importa-
tions into the United States are free

'In view of this intimate relation
