the center of resistance to American
Imperialism in Latin-America.
"The charge formulated is that
the Gales government supported
President Sacasa in Nicaragua, that
it helped him with money and against
the Wall Street-owned usurper Diaz,
and that it was hostile to u. S. gov
eminent policies in Central America.
ut is true that Gales had the cour-
age to recognize the government of
DR.. Sacasa, who was constitutional
president of Nicaragua, supported by
the overwhelming majority of the
Nicaraguan people. 1t is true also
that Gales made no secret of his sup
port of Sacasa, even after Secretary
of State Kellogg had declared against
him, and after the U. S. government
was landing marines in Nicaragua.
American imperialism is attacking
Mexico for the very actions that have
won for Mexico the admiration of all
Latin-America!
What is the record of the United
States government in Nicaragua, as
compared with that of President Cal
les? Against the allegations contain
ed in the Hearst forgeries, let us set
few known and admitted facts:
Gales is charged with supplying
arms and ammunition to the constitu-
tional government of Nicaragua. The
United States government did send
not merely arms and ammunition but
an invading army of U. S. marines,
to destroy the liberal government of
Nicaragua and set up the Diaz re-
gime, which admittedly maintains it
self only thru U. S. bayonets.
"Calles is charged with furnishing
money to the constitutional govern
ment of Nicaragua. The United
States government did arrange for
loan of $1,000,0O0 to the conserva-
tive Diaz regime (admitted by Sec
rotary Of State Kellogg during the
recent Pan-American Commercial
Conference at Washington
"Calles is charged with answering
the cry for help of a government
which represented a progressive force
in Nicaragua, and with assisting it in
the face of imperialist aggression.
The United States government did
invade the soil of Nicaragua, occupy
the country and proceed to lay hands
on Nicaraguan finances as part of its
program of imperialist aggression.
what anti-imperialist, what friend
of liberty, what class-conscious Amer
lean worker would object # Mexico
were actually to assist her sister re-
publics Of Latin-America against i'm
perialist aggression? Latin-America
would certainly applaud it, and with
reason. AS matter of fact, if the
Latin-American countries are to pre-
serve their present degree of indie
pendence they must unite more and
more closely in defense of their COM
mon interests. That such a union is
already developing is one of the most
encouraging features Of contempor-
airy history. Americans who are OPP
posed to imperialism should be pre-
pared to greet it with enthusiasm and
to support it whole-heartedly.
with the reports of the slaughter
of Nicaraguan men, women and chill
dren by U. S. marines constantly be-
fore us, with the smoke of the mas
sacre of Octotal still hanging in the
air, one might think that no Amer
lean newspaper would dare to men,
ton the name of Nicaragua, much
less to make it a point of attack
against Latin-American solidarity.
Support the Nicaraguan liberals
against U. S. marine rule!
"Stand by Mexico, the center of
resistance to American Imperialism
in Latin-America!
"On guard against the combination
of American imperialists, Mexican
landowners and Catholic reaction
aries that is trying to create new
counter-revolution in Mexico!

IMPERIALIST LEAGUE,
