PAN-PACIFIC MONTHLY"


~ RcFlCW.
1.-THE richest colonial and semi
colonial countries are situated along
the coast of the Pacific, the ex-
ploitation of which is the most es-
sential condition for the further ex-
istence of the imperialist powers.
The greater part of humanity lives
on the islands and continents sur
rounding the Pacific" these
words A. Losovsky of the Central
Council of Trade Unions of the So
Wet Union depicted, in his report to
the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Con-
ference at Vladivostock, the enor-
nous Importance of the Pacific area
and its labor movement.
No worker in America must for
get for one moment this factor in
world affairs, nor can any worker
be fully armed with knowledge of
the labor movement of the Pacific
area, without reading the "Pan-Pa-
cific Monthly" the official organ of
the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secre-
tariat at Shanghai, where it exists
illegally but has for two and n half
years carried on tremendous work
of unification of labor on a revo-
lutionary line in the teeth of terror
and against a world Of difficulties.
The "Pan-Pacific Monthly" as the
organ of the P. P. T. U. S., must be-
come better known to American
workers. It's very history is a
drama cf revolutionary daring, but
which must be told some other time.
What we wish to call to attention
now, is that this fighting magazine
that has triumphed over so many
vicissitudes, is now available to
American readers and its Novem-
Der issues, No. 32, is packed with
invaluable material, 50 pages Of it.
The November issue lie devoted
largely to the Vladivostock Confer
ence of the P. P. T. u. S., held in
latter August in spite Of the imper-
ialist blockade against the delegates
reaching Vladivostock and the rup-
ture of communications by the at
tack on the Soviet Union in Man
churia starting with the seizure of
the Chinese Eastern Railway.
Too few American workers realize
the full scope and power of the Pam
Pacific Trade Union Secretariat,
which unites the unions of Australia,
China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Ma
laya, the Philippines, the Soviet
Union, and the new revolutionary
center in the United States-the T.
U. U. L.. the latter of which, with
the revolutionary minority of Engf
land and the red unions of France,
are Joined IN the P. p. T. U. S. to
aid the labor movement of the colo
NAL and semi-colonial countries.
American workers must especially
interest themselves in the trade
union movement of the Philippines,
where profound struggle is 60
ing on between the revolutionary
unions and the agents Of American
imperialism in the labor movement.
While the November issue of the
"Pan-Pacific Monthly" analysing
! the tense situation in the Far East
and outlining the tasks of the trade
unions in the Pacific area as the
work of the Vladivostoek Confer
ence, deals with general and special
problems, the final article, "Tocls
of the Capitalists Within the Fill
Pine Labor Movement" deserves the
attention of every American work
er--who must understand and sup
port the struggles of the Filipino
workers and peasants.
Let us repeat: American workers
are favored with this publication
now being available at bookstores
and T. u. u. l.. branches, distributed
ir this country through the Work
ers' Library Publishers, SO E. 125th
st., New York City. Subscriptions
are So yearly, single copies rs cents;
an illustrated magazine you must
not miss.-Harrison George.
