of our oil industry, because the COM
panies prefer to take their invest
ments to the land of the savage
Juan Bisonte-as Rufino Blanco
Fombona, has called him. The
Yankee oil interests are now man
euvering to grab complete control
of the state of Zulin, the zone rich
est in deposits, and convert it into
an independent republic.
ain Colombia, the reactionary
government still vacillates between
the two imperialsms, and the pres
sure of foreign capital, allied to in
ternal reaction is such that the con-
gress last July refused to approve
the proposal of the liberals to send
it's condolences to the Mexican gov
eminent upon the death Of General
Obregon.
Slavery in Antilles.
"But where the domination of
Yankee Imperialism is absolute is
in Central America and the Antilles.
In Cuba the managers of the sugar
centrals are the masters of the gal
lows and the knife; they have the
civil authorities under their orders
and subject the plantation workers
to regime of veritable slavery.
There the land workers are beaten
with raw-hide whips as the Negroes
were beaten sixty years ago.
"In the cities the labor organiza-
tons are prosecuted and revolution
airy workers frequently disappear;
either they are deported to Mexico
or flung, bound, into Havana bay.
During the Pan-American Confer
ence, an arm of a wo-kc- who had
been imprisoned some days before
for posting up anti-iklperialist mani
festoes, was found in the belly of
shark. 1t was recognized by a
ring worn as a family heirloom.
"To give an idea of the control
of the United States over the Cufan
administration, it is enough to re-
call that during the visit of Mr..
Coolidge to Havana, in the days of
the conference, the whole local police
force was placed at the command
of the chief of police of Washington,
D. c., who was established as the
highest authority of Havana.
Espionage in Central America.
"Tn Central America, the govern
ments are now mere police agents
of the Yankee state department.
The administrations in Guatemala,
Ell Salvador and Honduras, are cen
tiers of espionage and information
designed to check the spread of the
| liberation movement whose center is
in Nicaragua, in the headquarters
of General SANDING.
Strengthen Naval Base.
Guatemala has just finished ced-
ing to the United States port on
the Pacific Coast, and the govern
ment is using martial law to force
the congress to ratify the conces-
sion. Salvador has permitted the
secret fertilization of the Island OF
Mianguera, which belongs to Saliva
dor. and next year the Salvador
congress will be compelled to vote
for its sale to the United States
which needs the island to complete
its Fonseca naval base. Yankee
agents are spreading the story that
100000 will be distributed among
the Salvadorian congressman to as
sure the approval of the sale.
"This same government of Saliva
dor was the one which accused Mex
leo of substituting the expedition of
General Moncada.
Suppress SANDING Paper.
"As regards Honduras, in last
July its government suppressed, at
the order of Mr.. Summerlin, the
United States minister, the peri
cdical "Ariel" of Froylan Turcios,
representative of General SANDING
The Honduran government has per-
mitted the passage of U. S. marines
through its territory to facilitate the
operations against SANDING. The
military chiefs of Honduras engage
in frontier espionage and turn over
to the Yankee troops all Nicaraguar
refugees who fall into their hands.
Breaks Panama Strike.
"The government of Panama, in
1926, called in the U. S. forces
guarding the canal zone, in order
to crush the renters strike. The
Yankee troops assassinated the
Panamanian people in the streets Of
their own capital.
Diaz, Vicious Lackey.
But the depth of AFFECTION and
ignominy we find in the usurping
government of Nicaragua. Adolfo
piaz is an employee at the beck and
call of Minister Tberhardt. When
Carleton Beals, editor of the Nation
of New York wished to interview
Adolfo Diaz in Managua, passing
through to the camp of SANDING
this president, Adolfo Diaz, tele-
phoned to U. S. Minister Eberhardt,
to ask him if he, Diaz, would be
allowed to receive Beals.
Fake Nicaraguan Election.
"The elections in Nicaragua are
ending, under the supervision of ar
electoral commission formed Of q
Yankee agent, Mr.. Mccoy, and two
Nicaraguans. Mr.. Mccoy has, in
this commission, three votes. In this
