Farmers Talk

WASHINGTON, April 10 (FP).-
Need of immediate enactment of a
federal farm relief law was empha-
sized by both reactionary and pro-
gressive republicans in the senate de-
bate on the McNary bill. Gooding of
Idaho denounced the conspiracy of
the banking interests and the Federal
Reserve Board which Debated the
farmers in 1920.
However, Gooding's long established
prejudice against organized labor led
him continually to complain against
the wage increases secured by rail-
road labor up to 1921, and against
the high wage level which he imagined
that most &c the workers in industry
have maintained.
1t is expected that a McNary-
Haugen bill will pass the senate and
House and will then be vetoed by
President Coolidge. The administra-
ton forces are already suggesting an
early adjournment of Congress, in or
der to minimize public protest against
the veto.

the club. Practically every factory of
any size has a club, or group of
factories may have a joint club, or
it may be under the supervision of
the trades council or the separate
union, or be attached to the local
Palace of Labor. In these clubs the
workers spend their spare hours in
reading, study, and recreation. Here
they learn how to enjoy themselves
in a collective, social way. The aver
age club has an assembly room where
some sort of meeting is usually in
progress, classrooms for the various
types of lectures and circles, a buffet
or dining room, billiard and game

1.-THE great tasks confronting it we
have no doubt. The steady progress
of the Party during the recent period,
its growing influence among the
masses and it's clear-headed resis-
lance to the "Obregonista" confus-
ionism and the support of open reac-
ton by some labor-peasant leaders,
already indicate this.
Growth of the Mexican Party.
We congratulate you upon the or
ganizational advance made by your
Party since the last convention, upon
the intensification of your activity in
all fields, and upon the mounting cir
culation of your official organ, "EI
Machete." We congratulate you es-
pecially for your mobilization of all
available forces against American
imperialism, for your quick realiza-
ton of the Importance of organizing
on continental scale to defeat the
present U. S. imperialist war against
Nicaragua. Nicaragua is the rallying
center for the anti-imperialist forces
throughout America at the present
time. We must focus the attention of
all Latin America upon it and mobil-
ize all possible forces in support of
the Nicaraguan soldiers resisting the
U. S. invasion.
The Sixth Pan American Confer
ence at Havana, whose inaugural ses-
sion conceded with the sending of
1000 additional U. S. marines to Mic
aragua, revealed the conscious deter
mination of American Imperialism to
subjugate all Latin America, but at
the same time tremendously fastened
the tempo of the movement in Latin
America for unity against imperial
ism. That the Latin American bour-
geoisie cannot be relied upon to give
vigorous leadership to this movement
was also adequately demonstrated. 1t
remains for the Communists, the par
ty of the oppressed masses, to build
the movement into a powerful or
gained force, capable of dealing real
blows against the imperialist enemy.
Common Struggle Against Wall
Street.
The organization of all forces
against American Imperialism is the
common task of the Communists in
all countries of The western world.
Following the line laid down by the
Communist international, your Party
and ours must take up this task in
the spirit of the closest cooperation.
We pledge ourselves to do our utmost
in our common struggle.
With Communist greetings,

nasium and children's room, lib

a consultation room with doctor
and nurse, a theatre and movie
room which may be separate from
the large meeting hall. Most clubs
are, of course, equipped with radios,
and practically all have a 'Lenin
corner"
The administrative board of the
club is composed of a group of work
ers elected by the membership of the
club which is voluntary and open to
any member of the union or unions
involved. The board consists of a
secretary, one member in charge of
Standardization work, a treasurer
and in the larger clubs, special per-
sons in charge Of theatricals, study
circles, and so on.
Visit one Of these clubs any night
in the week and you will find all the

will also be in full swing with all
the various indoor games the Rus

tributing its share to the entertain

American Imperialists in Mexico.
American imperialism has not
ceased its Vaccinations against Mex

ter-revolutionary movement of Cen

Serrano, American imperialism brot
all manner of pressure to bear upon
Mexico to accomplish the aims for
which Wall Street and Washington
had been striving for many years.
The appointment of Dwight w. Nor

U. S. ambassador in Mexico was the
symbol of the ever-active Wall Street
drive against Mexico.

the fact that these efforts of Amer

in terms of class peace. Only the
Communists appear ready to lead the
workers to the defense of their class

The Struggle Against American
Imperialism.
In all the campaigns of the Party,
we have stressed the Importance of
modifying all possible forces, within
ana without the country, for the COM
bined struggle against American i'm
perialism. At the present time our
anti-imperialist activity is concen-
trated particularly upon working to
defeat Wall Streets war against
Nicaragua. AS a result of our eff
forts campaign unique in U. S. his
tory is being conducted, aiming to
bring about a defeat of a U. s. mill
tary expedition. In the course of our
Campaign we have appealed directly

work in its own name, our PARTY has
actively supported the campaigns of
the United States section of the All
America Anti-Imperialist League. At
the present time, as you know, the u.
