ombia Central Federation Of Work
ers of Columbia) which IL years ago

a workers trade union movement,

Accepts Affiliation.
"The Executive Bureau of the r. I.
L. U. decided to accept your affili-
alton, and through you send their
heartiest greetings to the working
class of Columbia. The Executive
Bureau Of the K. |. L. U. is very glad,
indeed, to set up fraternal relations
with the workers Of your country,
which finds itself continually threat
ened by the eovetous and plumber
ing imperialism of the United States.
The events now developing in your
continent herald the seizure contem-
plated by the United States bour-
geoisie, not only of the central part
of America, but Of the whole of
South America in the very near fu-
ture. United States Imperialism hav-
ing enriched itself on the war now
discards all democratic forms, and
not only endeavors by force to do
inmate the whole of America, but to
seize control of the politics of the
world. With such situation facing
us the union of the workers of Amer
lea, Europe and Asia, including the
proletariat of U. S. S. R. and China,
is especially necessary.
"The Executive Bureau of the Red
international of Labor Unions greets
your entrance into the family of the
revolutionary trade union movement,
and from this time EDWARDS hopes
that connections with the labor move
ment Of your country and the work
ers' movements of other countries
will remain firm and constant.
"The Executive Bureau hopes to
meet your representative at the next
the IVth-world congress of the
r. /. l.. U. On date Of its converting
we shall inform you separately"
With fraternal greetings,
General Secretary r. T. II
