Criticism of the Guatemala labor

Lackey States Views.
II don't know if the reporting COM
mittee is well informed on the sub
ject," he told the delegates. 1--WE be
lieve in Guatemala that we are very
free now. Laws are sometimes i'm
perfect when they are promulgated
but time and experience round them
out. We already have Labor Bureau
in Guatemala. This is a great stride
forward, and we are now working to
have it made a department of full
cabinet rank. Against what are we
going to protest if everything is free
for the workers in Guatemala? Only
one labor organization did not get the
support of the government-and it
was Communist. The government is
assisting all peaceful and law-abiding
organizations"

fine and they have nothing to protest

Martinez put up a great fight, altho
he allowed more than half the pro
ceedings to pass before he got started,
probably due to inexperience. Altho
he experienced much difficulty in get
ting the floor during the closing SEES
sions, and when he did get the floor
the interpreter did not always trans
late what he said, he succeeded never
theless in making Green and Vol ex-
pose themselves as hypocritical apol-
ogists for the policy of Wall Street
and Washington in Latin America.
His fight also brought to light the
fact that most of the Latin American
delegations to this so-called labor con-
vention were sent here by their respec-
tive governments-or rather by the
American-bossed dictators who boss
the particular governments concerned.
Conspiracy Against Workers.
1t is almost unbelievable in gath
ering claiming to represent the work
ers of the Americas, that in spite of
the fact that he directed his fight
against the imperialistic exploiters of
those workers, he got practically no
real support. The other Latino Amer
leans were the first ones to attack
him when he pointed out that all was
not well with the relationships oper-
ating in their Monroe Doctrine coun-
tries.
Martinez was the only out-and-out
dissenter in convention which
amounted to conspiracy against the
workers of the Americas.
Would Disarm Labor.
President Green's closing remarks
on harmony clearly betrayed the es-
sential purpose of the thing as a sus-
tanned attempt to disarm Latin Amer
lean labor in the face of U. S. imperi-
alism-instead of preparing them for
concerted resistance to it.
Defends U. S. Imperialism.
What is needed most of ALL" he

Unlike the other Latin American
delegations at the convention, the
Mexican delegation represents a bona
fide national labor federation, having
hundreds of thousands of members.
Those members will want to know,
when the delegates get back home,
how it was that not a single one of
the outstanding and overshadowing
U. S.-Mexican issues was brought for
ward for discussion. They will want
to know, furthermore, why the Mex
lean delegation did not present to the
convention a single resolution of any
significance, except one asking the
Pan-American Federation of Labor to

trial of Druzhilovsky, notorious forg-
er of anti-Soviet documents, will be-
gin before the Supreme Court. At the
preliminary hearing Druzhilovsky de

are to develop commerce, trade, under
standing and confidence among the
peoples of the American continent, it
must be removed. The American

wonderful way in removing this sus-

Attacks Argentine Labor.
The committee on officers report
announced its conclusions in the clos
ing session. In addition to commend
ing the officers "for their intelligent
and untiring efforts" it denounced
the labor CONSUMPTION law in Guatem-
ala, said some unkind things about
the dictatorship in Venezuela (the
Venezuelan dictator having no dele
gates at this congress), and then
launched into a subtle attack upon the
organized labor movement of the Ar
gentine Republic, the impression being
conveyed that it is necessary to de-
stroy the present relatively powerful
Argentine unions because of their rad
icalism, and replace them by ga leg

declined. Morones took his leave of
the convention with parting speech,
inviting all the delegates to be present
at the eighth convention of the C. R.
O. NJ, which takes place in Mexico
City on August %.
It was yesterdays discussion on inn
perialism that brought about the big
clash between Martinez and Green,
and which exposed other Latin-Amer-
leans. Martinez had introduced gen.
eral resolution reciting all the crimes
of American imperialism against
Latin America, attacking the Monroe
Doctrine, repudiating dictators such
as Legiua of Peru who serve as in
struments of Wall Street and Wash
ington, and proposing number of
concrete measures. Matthew VOLTS
resolutions committee had used all
sorts of stratagems to get Martinez
to withdraw this resolution, but he re-
fused to be budged and the resolution
finally came before the convention on
the day before adjournment. The COM
mittee of course refused to endorse it,
offering a substitute which made no
charges whatsoever against the Unit
ed States government, which did not
mention imperialism and which merely
stated that the Monroe Doctrine had
been sometimes used wrongly. The
substitute was adopted, Martinez be-
ing the only one to vote against it.
Green's Apologize Speech.
In reply to bitter Indictment of
Monroe Doctrine imperialism by Mar
tinez, Green delivered speech which
was an apologize of the doctrine.
More eager to answer than Green
were the Peruvian delegates, both of
whom protested indignantly against
the characterization Of President Leg
uia Of Peru as dictator.
There is no tyranny of any kind in
Pure" said delegate Benavides. eve
who have just come from land where
labor has the greatest freedom of ac-
ton will not consent to the statement
that the president of Peru is tyrant.
No one who has ever striven to do any
thing for the people there has been
prosecuted under Leguia's beneficent
regime except those new anarchists,
the Communists.
Another Imperialist Defender.
One of the Panaman delegates had
something to say also. He defended
the United States from the charge,
contained in Martinez's resolution,
that it had detached Panama from
Colombia and made her an American
dependency.
81 say Che said) that Panama is just
as free and sovereign today as any
country on earth"
Next came a Cuban delegate who
defended the Monroe Doctrine, Platt
Amendment and all, declaring that
"as result of this doctrine, we have
today such sterling President in
Cuba as Gerardo Machado." IN. B.
Machado is known turnout Cuba as
the assassin of Cuban labor.
The next convention of the Pan
American Federation of Labor is to
be held (Machado and the American
sugar trust being willing) at Havana,
