In Nicaragua, marine officers

The defeat of Wall Street imperi-
alism in Latin America, as we'll as
in the United States, is a problem
confronting the entire working class
and one that can be accomplished
only by the united action of the
workers throughout the world.
All Militants Must Help.
The Caribbean Conference must
have the support of the trade unions
and organizations of poor farmers,
as well as the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party and all militant, pro-
gressive workers clubs and fraternal
organizations. AS we have seen,
from the above summary of exist
ing conditions, there is need for
concrete solutions and a unifying
program of action that will bring
the great mass of American workers
into the ranks of the fighters
against imperialism. The Caribbean
Conference is a means to the end.
American workers, rally to the
support of the Caribbean Confer
ence!
Support the fight of the All-Amer-
lea Anti-Imperialist League against
imperialism!

Anti-Imperialist League Holding Meeting of
Latin Delegates Who Fight u. S. Empire

Latin America. The United States,
in its efforts to drive its chief i'm
perialist competitor, Great Britain,
out of Latin America, is creating
new colonies and semi-colonies in
Latin America and arming them with
an intent to wrest additional imperi-
alist gains from Great Britain's pup
pets. The recent outbreak between
Paraguay and Bolivia is an example
of the war danger that threatens
the workers and peasants of Latin
America and may lead to the out
break of a new world war.
Again there is the general in
crease of hostilities against the Sow
let Union and the policy of bringing
the puppet governments of Latin
America directly into the war pre-
parations against the Soviet Union.
This danger has been doubly in
creased by the recent Pan-American
Pact signed in Washington.
Lastly, let US view the increased
penetration of the United States i'm
perialists into Latin America. This
fresh offensive, opened by special
imperialist agent, Mr.. Morrow, sent
to Mexico to amend the constitution
of Mexico in order that the Stand
ard Oil and the House of Morgan
might more easily dominate that
country, and climaxed by Mr.. Hoo
yer, has conferred the imperialists
attention on Latin America. In
creased investments shed additional
light on the question of Khaki

Street into Latin America. For ex-

States. To this end the energies of
the members of the U. S. section of
the League and of all class-conscious
workers must be directed.
With an objective of unification
and solidarity in the fight against
Imperialism, let US look at the stu
alton confronting the Caribbean Con-
ference.
Firstly there is the general armed
movement against United States i'm
perialistic oppression. The Nicara-
guam Army of Liberation, the revolt
against the puppet government of
Guatemala, the arming of the Col
ombian workers in their strike
against the United Fruit Company,
the student uprising in Venezuela
and the broad wave of armed oppo-
sition against the agents of Wall
Street. These acts are highly sig
nificant from the point of view of
Sandino's effective armed resistance.
The Anti-Imperialist League has
been working in the past for the
support of the Nicaraguan workers,
led by General SANDING, and this
conf renee will tend to draw thc
workers of the United States more
closely to The support of the Mica
re Army of Liberation and the

SOC to SEC is about right for a ma
chinist, the air bosses believe. In
San Diego the highest wages in the
industry are paid to the top notch
sheet metal workers. The report
fails to mention that they are or
ganized. In unorganized centers 81
to 75c is the sheet metal workers
average.
The airplane worker makes $1,000
year in the New York area. If
employed steadily his wage, based
on an average of 75c an hour, would
net him $1,000 a. year. Actually
airplane shops, because of the ex-
perimental nature of much of the
work and their reliance on con-
tracts, operate but 60 per cent Of
the time.

OUT OF A JOB
By HENRY REICH, Jr.

Out of job, out Of job.
This is my weary old song,
For you're slob, and I'm slob
And so we march along.
Out of job and nothing to eat,
And nothing for wife or for kids.
0, here's game that's hard to beat
When the bosses give you the skids
Out of a job and none to be found,
This prosperous lands on the blink.
The agency's full and the crowds hang around;
The ships are as bad--for they sink.
Out of a job and looking for one,
Looking and looking in vain.
Uncle Sam offers you only gun
Now wouldn't it give you pain?
Out of job, and it's out of job.
And this is my tune if you list:
For you're slob and I'm a slob

continuing trend of solidarity on the
other, as expressed in the calling
