memory of Chen Pal Chun and six
other martyrs was held everywhere
by the peasants during November,
1926. In every memorial meeting
the following slogans were shouted:
down with the three peoples doc
trines which are nothing than three
p inciples against peoples" Down
with the party of persecutionaries
without trial--Kuomintang" ("Party
of persecutionaries" in Chinese have
the same pronunciation of Kuo-
mintang).
Learn Lesson.
All the past incidents teach the
peasants the lesson that nothing less
than struggles can save them; flee
ing and fearing are not only in vain
to avoid the persecution but also de-
moralize their revolutionary spirit.
That is why the peasants who have
suffered the slaughter of Ii Chi-sin
in 1927, and have undergone the
merciless exploitation of imperial
ism, neither were disappointed nor
fled to mountains or to other coun-
tries, but shouted the slogan Back
to home to fight against our class
enemies"

As the consequence of their strug-
giles against oppression and exploit
tation, which were regarded as viola
tons of the said provisions of the
rear, the peasants unions were
closed and the peasant defense corps
disarmed. The slogans such as
peasant unions are gatherings of
bandits" peasants unions opposed
the Northern Expedition" "The
peasants unions interfere with the
administration and judicial of the
government" were issued and pro-
pagandized by the left and right
wings of the Kuomintang, with one
breath.
1t is a fact that violating the or
Ger of Chang Kai-shek and the die
tatorship of Kuomintang, the peas
ants did some times seize the po-
litical power in villages, capture the
CENTRES, and landlords, and put to
trial the corrupted and bribed Of
ficials in the headquarters of the
reasant unions. Ceremony was not
practiced here, they were sometimes
doomed with capital punishment
Compradores, CENTRES, landlords and
bureaucrats cried out with the same
tone that "the peasant union is the
super-governrlent." The ressrnts
have accepted this criticism without
scepticism.
1t can be seen that even long be-
fore the open rebellion of Ii Chi

of American Imperialism in Latin-America
that it is meeting with ever-increasing re-
sistance. SANDING, the heroic defender of his
people in Nicaragua, who for year and a
half has kept up stubborn fight against the
invaders, is known and revered in every part
of the southern continent. He has been
waging fight for all Latin-America and
thousands upon thousands of workers and
peasants are coming to realize that the only
way to fight against slavery or extermina-
ton is to follow Sandino's example and drive
out the imperialists and their agents.
The aggressive advance of American i'm
perialism DEGREES a common fate for all
Latin-America. This decree can only be set
aside by common action against the invader
of the masses of those countries. In such
struggle they will have the support of the
vanguard of the working class in the United
States who are also waging fight for life
against the same tyrants.
Against the combination of imperialists
and servile hirelngs at the heads of the
puppet governments of Latin-Amerca must
be hurled the invincible mass power of the
workers and farmers of the United States in
alliance with the workers and peasants of
Latin America!

tending to develop solidarity and
internationalism. 1t puts out films,
publishes working class literature,
illustrated papers such as the illus
trierte Arbeiter Zeitung," "Nos Re-
CARDS." and now is beginning to pub
fish a similar illustrated paper in
English. In many sections Of the
world it is developing working class
theatre associations, "Proletfoto"
movements, radio groups, etc. 1t
has established children's homes for
the children of strikers, and sum-
mer camps. It's cultural activities
go far toward letting the workers
of one country know how the work
ers of other countries live and suf-
fer and struggle. 1t carries pictures
of struggles, of picket lines, Of dis
asters, ETC., throughout the world.
The new wave of strikes in var
ious countries, the leftward swing of
the masses under the pressure of
naturalization, and war prepare
tions, all require a strengthening of
the WIR. 1t is carrying on an i'm
portant work for the sake of work
ing class solidarity, for the strength
ening of the forces of the toiling,
struggling masses, for the develop
ment of greater internationalism.
We must build more powerful Sec
ton of the Workers international
Relief in the United States.
At the Shop Delegate Conference
called by local New York, WIR, De-
cember goth at Bryant Hall, 42nd
st. and Sixth Ave-, at 6 p. M, the
program will be presented for de-
veloping powerful and permanent
American section of Workers Inter
national Relief. Workers of all
trades are urged to attend.

for the British General Strike, and
the long miners struggle that fol-
lowed, that helped the victims of the
Irish famine in 1925. Out of these
and other important international
actic:s, the WIR grew into thu or
ganization that it is today. Organ
lied at first in many countries in
the form of temporary relief bodies
for a particular catastrophe or
struggle, the conviction soon grew
upon those engaged in the work
that the organization must be r,ade
permanent and powerful and ready
for any emergency. 1t soon became
evident that one cannot form pow
erful organizations swiftly enough
after catastrophes have occurred or
struggles have begun.
Our experience in America with
strike relief, with the Mississippi
flood, and the tornado victims, has
demonstrated to the American
workers that they must build a pow
erful section of the WIR in Amer
lea, to be prepared to help all sec
lions of the American masses in any
emergency and to do their working
class duty on an international scale
as well.
AS the WIR has grown into a
strong and permanent organization
abroad, it has gradually extended
the scope of it's work and the
spheres of its influence. 1t carries
en- today varied cultural activity,

TWO outstanding needs of the
American working class are the
development of greater solidarity be-
tween the diverse elements, crafts,
races, ETC., that compose it, and the
development of greater international
solidarity.
The Workers International Relief
wv. I. r. is a splendid instrument
for the developing of these two
forms Of solidarity.
Tie WIR is an international re-
lief organization en- class basis,
with section in the U. S. When the
strikers of New Bedford or of the
Pennsylvania Ohio coal fields enter
into a struggle, they find lined up
against them the entire power of
the highly centralized capitalist
class, with its interlocking direc-
torates, chambers Of commerce, gil
gantic monopolies, etc. The WIR
steps into such cases with an appeal
tc the workers throughout the in
dustry in other parts of the country
ar in all industries throughout the
country to rally to the aid of the
strikers and their families with re-
lief funds. 1t is living realization
of the old working class motto, "All
for one and one for ALL" When the
strikes are on a large enough scale,
the WIR calls upon the workers of
the entire world for aid.
Catastrophes and accidents also
have their class aspects. In the
Mississippi floods, relief was denied
by the Red Cross and government
agencies to the hundreds of thou
sands of Negro workers and poor
Negro farmers. This is typical Of
every catastrophe. 1t is brazen lie
of the bourgeoisie that in the face
of great tragic events class differ
