Nicaraguan InUasiOn Is Part of Attempt
to Build World Empire for u S., Secretary
of Anti-Imperialist League Warns Workers

- The All-American Anti-Imperialist
League calls upon all of its branches
TO protest against the Intervention in
Nicaragua by the United States i'm
perialists and against all that the
present interventions signifies, Manuel
Gomez, secretary of the United States
section with headquarters in Chicago
announces.
The league will conduct vigorous
campaign against the Nicaraguan in
Prevention, he declared, principally
among the trade unions and other
workers organizations. The league
demands immediate withdrawal of
American troops from Nicaragua,
I. G..-Adspozr' Lati1-Americs., immediate
I investigation of Admiral Latimer's
faction, cessation Of the U. S. state
departments attitude toward Mexico.
Gomez points out that the present
invasion of Nicaragua is not an "ac-
cidental" incident, but is a part of a
long standing and yell-developed i'm
perialistic program Of the United
States to dominate entire Latin-Amer-
lea, and to place all Of the nations
near the Panama canal. especially, in
an indirect colonial status.
U. s. Seeks World Empire.
"The United States is using the
Panama canal as an excuse to build
q world empire" said Gomez. at is as
sensitive about the Panama canal as
Great Britain is about the Suez canal,
and is using It for the same purposes"
This policy was evidenced IN the &C
QUESTION Of Cuba, Porto Rico, and the
complete domination Of Panama, he
points out, and the establishing of a
virtual protectorate over all Of the
nearby states.
Wants SerVlle Government.
The United States wants control Of
Nicaragua because of its proximity to
the canal, and because Of the proposal
to build another canal thru Nicaragua,
E. Gomez declared. AS far back as 1915,
this policy was adopted, and then the
U. s. acquired the rights to build the
Nicaragua canal, whenever It desires
TO do so. by paying the Nicaraguan
government 100000. The United
States is DESTROYS of maintaining in
Nicaragua a government that will be
a servile tool Of the American imper-
1alists, and It is for that reason that
Il is attempting to crush the liberal
movement and support the Diaz
regime. A government in Nicaragua
which could not be controlled is seen
as block to the extension OF Amer
lean Imperialism thruout this CONT
nent and from here to the rest Of the
world.
Threatens Lstin-Ameriean.
The action against Nicaragua is not
only threat against the sovereignty
OF the people OF that country, but is
thrsa. against the whole Of Latin
America, Gomez points out. It is a
fragrant violation of the agreements
made by the United States with the
other countries at the Boliyarian con-
eress held at Panama in the summer
OF 1926. At this conference, to which
the United States was invited the
L,atin-American countries agreed una
nimously to a resolution that they
would not make war on each other,
and that II war is made on any one
OF the nations, the others would Join
against the aggressor The United
States agreed to this. The Nicaraguan
Intervention Is clearly a violation of
this, Gomez declared, and proves that
Il was q mistake TO allow the United
States to be member OF the con-
gsess.
