Bv SCOTT NEARING

Strenuous efforts are being made
by the spokesman of United States
big business to throw a smoke screen
over the operations of the American
Empire in Nicaragua, Cuba, Panama
and other neighbor states. The dram
attic staging of the Pan-American
Conference at Havana was one part
of this campaign. Recent speeches
by Charles Evans Hughes, chairman
Of the United States delegation to
Havana, former supreme court JUS
tice, former secretary of state for
the United States and tireless ser
want of the United States plutocracy,
are of the same pattern.
New York Times reports quote Mr..
Hughes at great length, in his reply
to the Anti-Imperialist League and
other working class agencies that
have been fighting the domination
Of Latin America by United States
big business and United States gun
boats and marines. Said Mr. Hughes:
''lhe Colossus of the North is pic
-'l4ed to the imagination as the ruth
le5s giant, without conscience and
with unrestrained lust.
Uncle Sam-"Angel."
Owe make no apology for our pros
peiity and power but the notion
that we are looking for opportunities
to intervene in the concerns of our
neighbors and to take upon ourselves
the burdens of managing them, that
we are animated by desire to dom
mate Latin America, is due to vague
and unfounded fears, and especially
to an utter misconception of public
opinion in this country.
However, it is persistent notion

with the Japanese imperialists that
the "anti-Japanese movement" must
not become too extreme. The Amer
lean, British and Japanese imperial
lists will come to terms as soon as
they are aware of an upsurge of the
mass revolutionary movement in
China, prejudicial to the interests of
the world imperialism.
Workers and peasants of China!
Chang Kai-shek and Chang Tso-lin
belong to the same class with the
japanese, American and British i'm
perialists. The only hope of freeing
the Chinese masses lies in your own
hands. You must arm yourselves and
overthrow both the Picking and Nank-
ing governments, capture the state
power and set up an All-Chiua Soviet
government. Only the Chinese Com
munist Party, the party of the Chin
ese working class, is capable of con-
summating the Chinese Revolution.

Workers and peasants of Japan!
The Tanaka government has proven
as an obedient servant of the capital
list class when it ordered the arrest
of hundreds Of your fellow-workers
and peasants in last March. The dis
patch of the troops to Shantung is
another often used means Of the bour-
geois government to avert a revolu-
ton at home. The strengthening of

teet their property and investments

To support Chang Kai-shek in his
attempt to unity China would mean
to set another bourgeois government
at the mercy Of the American or Brit
ish capitalism. To struggle against
japanese imperialism alone will lead
the Chinese people to become pawns
of American and British Imperialism.
The way Of freeing the Chinese
masses is not to. help Chang Kai-shek
Ito set UP bourgeois government, a
tool of the imperialists, nor to seek
help from American or British i'm

Workers and Peasants Revolution
under the leadership of the Chinese
Communist Party.
The movement Of 1926-27 against
the British imperialists was success
full because the Chinese workers and
peasants were the driving force of the
movement. The present anti-Japanese
movement will not be sue
cessful until the Chinese workers and
peasants are well organized and fully
armed. But Chang Kai-shek and the
imperialist powers are suppressing

1t became very obvious that the
real purpose of Mr.. Sapose was to
disrupt the conference. This the
Young Workers League was not will
ing to tolerate, and rather than see
the conference disrupted, withdrew
it's delegates with the statement,
however, that the Young Workers
League as the only organization rep
resenting the interests of the working
youth was interested in their organ
ization, and would continue this work
regardless of the efforts of Music,
Saposs and similar individuals. They
furthermore condemned such activi-
ties as that of Mr.. Saposs and de-
clared that it would be necessary for
the young workers to combat very
vigorously such attempts at those
which have been seen at the confer
ence, to hinder the activities of the
young workers.

became a smile of recognition.

ing upon his career as an engineer
into the great world. while Leila had
stayed on in Alton, quietly living at
home and writing her daily column in
the Eagle. And that was all she had
ever done. while he, as she could see
for herself, had grown brown and way
wise. with a way of wearing his clothes
and manner that lent him distinction
even in such a crowd of folks as the
Arlington assembled.
Leila rose and shook hands with
him. and said that she was glad to
see him. Then after they had ex-
changed few commonplaces he asked
her to lunch with him and they went
to small table where Bryce ordered
delicious lunch. Between the iced
boullion and the peach parfait Leila
learned that he had Just returned from
South America, where he had been at
work upon one project for six years,
and she let him learn casually that she
was III town shopping until 3. He
asked about her mother and other AZ
toniteS. including George Hotchkin,
which made her smile
George Is the same old George"
she said. and passed to something else
because although George Hotchkin had
wooed her persistently for 20 years she
was not much interested In him even
yet. How could she be with that
memory Of Bryce Pryne Rugged to her
very soul?
From ordinary topics they addressed
themselves to those of national and
even international Importance, which
after all. are safer than more intimate
themes From a shy. reserved girl
who had nothing to say. Leila had be-
come a woman of opinion and keen
insight. She was not afraid to look
into her companions eyes and tell him
what she thought, even though she
differed with him. She had ideas,
clever ones. and within 10 minutes she
perceived that she was interesting this
grave man who had read and thought
and seen much.

The supersensitivity is obtained by
