SANDING Must Answer to the
Anti-Imperiallsts

Nicaragua "instead of" Uncle Sam. This would
have been had it been carried through, ver-
table blessing by Latin America for project
of U. S. Imperialism.
But since SANDING was still fighting U. S.
imperialism, the pack of boot-icking Latin
American governments would not dignity San
dino by the slightest response. He, thereupon,
left the battlefield for "higher diplomacy" pro-
ceeding to Vera Cruz, Mexico, apparently to
convince" the Latin American governments
of the necessity for such a conference. He
repeated the invitation from Merida, Yucatan,
shortly after his arrival. Other serious steps
of SANDING, were spoken of in previous article
in the Daily Worker
Eight months went by. SANDING still
manned in Merida, Yucatan, promising to re-
turn to the fled of action, but as continually
postponing doing so for reasons he would
not make clear. In vain the Executive Com
mittee of the Al-America Anti-Imperialist
League tried to obtain an explanation from the
Commander in Chief of his sudden "ascetc"
retirement.
But while he was reticent toward the anti
imperialists, it was known that he held cor
respondence with Portes Gil, the President of
Mexico who had so tractably carried out the
orders of Mr.. Dwight w. Morrow, Wall Streets
And SANDING Says-Nothing.
While Portes Gil and his agents, under
ders of the same Yankee imperialism which is
responsible for the rape of Nicaragua, began
and carried on a campaign of white terror
against the revolutionary workers and peasants
of Mexico who gave Sandino's army enthus-
astic support, SANDING not only found it pos
sibe to remain silent as an impartial OBJ
server" but carried on correspondence, the ma
ture of which has not been revealed, with these
butchers of the Mexican revolutionary workers.
While refuge revolutionaries from Cuba were
being deported SANDING remains sent-and
safe.
SANDING has now come out of Merida, arrv-
ing at Mexico City. But the anti-imperialist
workers were not on hand, as .he apparently
expected to hail him as hero. He cannot
live upon the honorable past. He was met by
one man, Doctor Zepeda, strong supporter of
Mr. Morrow's policy in Mexico, who is still
Sandino's representative, Notwithstanding the
protest of the All-America Anti Imperialist
League.
SANDING has made slanderous attack on
Gustava Machado, groundless attack as was
proven. Machado was Secretary of the Hands
Off Nicaragua Committee and this attack can
only be explained as due to pressure upon him
from Doctor Zepeda and Co, to have him
break away from those who really stand for
incorporating struggle against imperialism
and for the complete independence of all col
onies and semi-colonial countries.
The Executive Committee of the Anti-lmper-
ialist League called on SANDING to put himself
at the disposal of the organization for tour
throughout Latin America. But the General
has remained mute on the subject.
At the height of the armed struggle in Near
aqua, the genuine revolutionary movement OF
Latin America, and the revolutionary workers
Of the United States as well, were giving every
support possible to Sandinos army. This army
was not only swelled by Nicaraguan peasants,
But also by other Latin American workers from
almost every country.
SANDING cannot personally claim the great
ness and the glory which belongs to the masses
and those who aided the struggle from every
corner of the earth. Nor can he proceed upon
the notion that he is second Bolivar, the
