The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-01-16

THE Second Anniversary of the assassination of
Julio Antonio Mella is held in a period when
conditions of workesr in the United States and
Latin America are getting continually worse.
Wages are cut, exploitation is intensified, living
standards are lowering, millions face starvation.
The workers and peasants in Latin America
living under unbearable conditions, are struggl-
ing more and more. The history of the past.
two years gives testimony to this fact. Many
strikes and mass demonstrations, and the over
throw of number of governments show the
trend of struggle.
American imperialism now conducts the most
vicious offensive against the working class. In
the United States the Fish Committee to Gin
vestigate Communism" has opened the road to
wave of prosecutions against the working class.
Police terror and falling and killing of workers
is used increasingly by the employing class.
This vicious attack is directed particularly
against the foreign-born workers in the United
States Discrimination in giving jobs, racial
segregation, new deportation laws and the like
are typical of their treatment of foreign-born
toilers
In Latin America the 1ackeys Of imperialism
hope to drown in blood all genuine revolutionary
movements struggling for national liberation.
The Ncaraguan people are again taking to
of the Army of Liberation In this offensive
against the workers and peasants American i'm
perialism has the cooperation of the American
Federation of Labor and the Pan-Amercan Fed
Grafton of Labor. They assist in the vicious and
criminal attacks on the workers and peasants.
The imperialists are also preparing war against
the Soviet Union where the workers and peas
ants government FORCES ahead with its tremen-
dous tasks of socialist construction. The Five
Year Plan of the Soviet Union is a mighty chal
lenge to the imperialists. The latter hope to de-
stroy the Soviet Union and thus prevent the
carrying out of the Five-Year Plan in four years.
On this solemn anniversary the Anti-Imperial-
list League calls on the workers to strengthen
their organizations. This is real tribute to
Mella and all those who have fallen in the strug
gle against imperialism. IT. is the only way in
which to prepare for an effective support to
the national liberation movements.
The workers living in the United States in this
period of increased suffering and struggles of
in; class are more than ever duty bound
to rr'~a''-e mass Anti-Ir'nerio'e+ I.eoc-le.
This is the only way to mobilize all those
forces which struggle against imperialism and to
rally them to the support of the emancipatory
movement in the colonies. This means that all
organizations affiliated to the League must re-
double their efforts to bring in members until
really mass organization is achieved,
Support our struggles, not in words but in
deeds!
Demand the immediate withdrawal of the
United States marines from Nicaragua
Down with Machado and other butchers of
the working people in Cuba and in all the Latin
American countries
Down with American Imperialism which OPP
presses us all!
Long live the unity Of the workers of the
United States and the oppressed workers and
peasants of the world
Long live Soviet China!
Long live the Indian revolution!
Defend the anti-imperalist fatherand, the
Soviet Union!
