THE activities and plans of the
American Communists as regards
| the organization of opposition to the
| United States in Mexico and Latin
America are summed up admira.
bly, in a resolution passed by the
central executive committee of the
workers CommunisU party on No
vember IL, 1926. This resolution
reads as follows:
The tasks Of our party at the pres
net time, as set forth in the resolu-
tion of the political committee, are
those presented by the conditions of
imperialism. American imperialism
is able to win over large sections Of
the American workers by sharing with
them a small part of superprof1ts, and
continues to extend hegemony in for
eign fields. However, the steady ex-
pansion of American capitalism upon
an imperialist basis Is accompanied
by the enormous EXTENSION of the vul-
nerable surface which it presents to
attack. Recent months have fur

spread movement for Latin American
unity against Wall Street. We cite
particularly the present attitude of
the Gales government In Mexico-its
general Latin Americanism, it's policy
in Central America, its tendency to-
ward cooperation with the All-Amer-
lea AntiImperialist League, and the
decision Of President Gales to send a
personal representative to the Brussels
world conference against Imperialism.
Aid for Revolutionists.
The Comintern has repeatedly in
Dictated that a basic task of any party
situated In an imperialist country is
to stimulate and give aid to the ma
tionaltst and national revolutionary
movements in the colonial and semi
colonial countries under the heel of
imperialism. This, together with the
work among the American masses,
form the basis of our party work.
While our party has made consider
able progress in anti.imperialist work,
1t Is still far from a proper realiZa-
ton of the Importance of this work.
A far greater proportion of the
party's resources must be utilized in
anti-imperialist activities. District
executive committees must have

pertalist activity, and these must be
directed by capable comrades. Thes
party machinery on district as we'll
as a national scale MET be drawn
into this work
1.-The anti-imperialist work has
been greatly hampered by lack of
sufficient comrades, The party must
take measures to create and train a
corps of comrades engaged directly
in anti-imperialist work.
In spite of many handicaps, we
have done much to build the ALI
American Anti-Imperialist League
into an organization engaged in
actual struggle against Imperialism.
We have carried on systematic work
inside of the Pan-American Fedora
ton OF Labor and have achieved some
valuable results there. We have
participated in work against United
States imperialism in number Of
: Latin American countries. notably
Mexico, Porto Rico, Cuba, Panama
and Peru, We have also established
some contact with the Philippine in
dependence movement, although we
have yet to establish our own nucleus
there.
" The main task for the period i'm
mediately ahead Is the building of q
substantial section of the AAAIL
(All-American AntiImperialist League)
in the United States itself. This will
be accomplished through the affili-
alton Of groups organized around
specific issues, such as hands-off
Mexico committees, etc. The workers
(Communist) party must remain the
central factor in the United States
section of the AAAIL, grouping
around itself as closely as possible
other working-c class organizations
THE significance of Mexico in the
eyes of the so-called Soviet govern
ment is revealed in the following ex-
tract from the report of Tchitcherin,
made at the third session Of the union
central executive committee in March,
1925:
Resumption of diplomatic rela-
tons with Mexico: In America, in this
manner. we still stand before a ques.
ton mark. But in this time we have
succeeded in re-establishing diplo-
matte relations, which give us a pc.
litical base in the new continent, with
the neighbor of the United States,
Mexico. The Mexican government is
based on the right trade unions and
the radical small bourgeoisie. The
