| ing more or less than black exploita-

cwn article attacking q writer who
in an article iii his official organ,
"The Blackman," of May %, de-
noancing imperialism, wrote as fol
lows: Empires cannot be built
without wars and murders, nor can
they he maintained without oppres-
sion and injustices." On the fol-
lowing day, May 90, Garvey au-
sweTcd the writer in the most apollo
getic tone for the rape and plumber
Of predatory Imperialism: we be-

sions of the writer"
We could quote several other re-
marks of Garvey's imperialistic ten
dencies of alliances with the white
cXploiters in unfolding white bour-
geois class and race oppression.
New Trick Up Sleeve.
Garyey has completely thrown
overheard the program of Back to
Africa" and has established his own
political party, "The Peoples Polit-
ical Party" ard is making plepara-
tons to run candidates in each city
of Jamaica. We must now confess
that Garveyisr has reached another
stage of development, a stage Of
open treachery of trying further to
fool the Negro of the West Indies
in supporting his new political
scheme with the possibility of estab-
fishing black empire in the West
Indies, since he cannot mobilize
enough man power to take over
Africa.
The conditions that confront the
millions of black slaves in the West
indies are unbearable.
As a result we are witnessing
strike after strike fighting for bet
ter conditions among the slaves.
This is true of the entire West In
dies.

1t is time that the English Com
munist Party and the minority
movement realize that it is their
duty to assist these workers in estab-
fishing labor movements as well as
the Communist Party in the Carib-
bean so that we may be more eff
fective in Our campaign in the COM
ing imperialist war in carrying out
the struggle against imperialism on
an international scale.
We would like to suggest that the
English, American and Canadian
Parties take steps in working out
program of action in the West In
dies against the fake gesture of the
British labor party in Trinidad as
well as in other islands in trying to
win over the native workers to the
program of the labor party,
There must be closer relation
ship between the workers and farm
ers of the West Indies with the class
conscious revolutionary workers of
the world, if there is to be any con-
structiye revolutionary propaganda
against "His Majesty's" government
in the West Indies.
Shows Past Mistakes.
1t was clearly pointed out in the
tenth anniversary number of the
Communist International, page 274:
"The absence of an adequate organ
national connection in the colonial
instructions and the international
proletariat cannot but intensity the
scattered nature of the attacks of
the toilers in isolated colonies and
semi-coIonies. In view of the
sharpening class struggle and the
danger of the new imperialist war,
we must sharply criticize in the
most merciless manner the failure
en- the part of the English and
American Communist Parties to
establish contacts with the black
Slaves Of the West Indies.
The native blacks of the islands
are receptive to revolutionary prop
uganda and will welcome the Com
munist Party as their champion and
defender against imperialism.
The struggle in the West Indies
must be linked up with the Amer
lean Negro as well as with the
Africans and other oppressed peo-
pies throughout the world in a uni
fled struggle for the realization of
the workers and farmers dictator
ship in all the countries, which is the
only guarantee to the workers and
oppressed peoples throughout the
world against imperialist wars and
oppression.
Negro workers must realize that
there is no other road for them to
take but to join the ranks of Com
munism in fighting for better So
cial order where lynching, segrega-
ton, jim-crowism and exploitation
will be a thing of the past.
