ment of the United States sec
ton of the All-America Anti
Imperialist League as a timely
and useful contribution to the
anti-imperialist struggles of the
American masses in the national
election campaign.
The statement of the Anti-Im-
perialist League draws the atten-
ton of the masses once more to
the policies of imperialist robbery
and oppression pursued by the
ruling class of the United States
in all parts of the world. 1t urges
the need of organized struggle
against the danger of new imper-
ialist wars.
The further armed subjugation
of Nicaragua by American imper-
ialism, assisted by the mock pres
idential elections just carried
through by American marines to
place puppet of Wall Street into
the presidency, lends vital urgen-
cy to the need of militant strug-
gle against American imperial
ism. The heroic resistance of the
toilers of Nicaragua, led by San
dino, as well as the awakening
militancy of the workers organ
lied in the Nicaraguan Fedora
ton of Labor which advocated a
boycott of the mock Wall Street
elections, must be supported and
encouraged by the toiling masses
of the United States.
Fight U. s. Imperialism.
We endorse the program of the
Anti-Imperialist League. We re-
iterate our stand in favor of the
complete and unconditional indie
pendence of all colonies and semi
colonies held by United States i'm
perialism philippines, Hawaii,
Porto Rico, Cuba, Haiti, etc.. We
reiterate our pledge to continue
the fight for the withdrawal of
all armed forces and all supervis-
ing agents of American imperial
ism from Nicaragua, China and
other foreign countries. We call
upon the toiling masses to wage
relentless struggle against all
manifestations of American i'm
perialism.
There is no issue that is of
greater Importance to the masses
in the present election campaign
than the one of combating Amer
lean imperialism and the war
preparations.
Condition of Slavery.
American imperialism spells
the crushing of the national in
dependence of the people of
Latin America and the Caribbean
Islands. 1t spells condition of
slavery and semi-slavery for the
workers and peasants of these
countries.
American Imperialism means
further penetration into China
with the aim of crushing the
Chinese revolution and extending
the rule of American capitalism.
1t means sharpening rivalry with
the imperialists of Great Britain
and Japan, leading inevitably to
war. 1t means bigger navy,
army and air fleet, more militar-
ization of the government and re-
preston of the masses. 1t means
hostility and armed attack upon
the Soviet Union.
American imperialism means
capitalist naturalization of indus
try. 1t means wage cuts, speed
up, unemployment, "open shop"
spy systems, and intensified at
tack upon the standard of living
and organizations Of the Ameri-
can workers. 1t means more ruin
for the mass of the American
farmers. 1t means more brutal
persecution and discrimination of
the American Negro masses.
Hoover and Smith, Imperialists.
Where does Hoover and the re-
publican party stand on these
issues? He and his party stand
with the big capitalists and the
imperialists. He is frankly and
brutally imperialistic. He boasts

policies of Coolidge--the war up

war instrument of American i'm
perialism, etc.
Where do Smith and the demo-

with Wall Street. He is the same
