Argentina Under the Control OF
Fish and Co.

significant part of English capital is invested in
industry, a greater part being invested in banks.
The largest sums of capital are invested in the
railways, which convey Argentine wheat to the
British steamers AS the English have the mo-
nopoly of transport to the harbors the freight
charges are enormously high
The English keep a jealous guard over their
monopoly of transport. When the Americans be-
gan to acquire shares in the Buenos-Aires rail-
way company, which connects Argentina with
Chile and possesses first class strategcal impor-
lance, the shareholders decided to insert
clause in the statutes of this company accord
ing to which only English and Argentinians
could hold shares in it. AS a counter-move,
American imperialism acquired a concession for
the construction of parallel railway line from
Argentina to Chile. In 1929, England refused to
grant Argentina loan of 200 million dollars for
the building of high roads, in order thus to pre-
vent diminution of the profits of its railways
and the Importation of American automobiles.
American capital gained firm footing in the
light industry and rapidly obtained monopoly
in the production of energy, which it acquired
from the English companies in the big towns.
The electricity works in the provincial towns are
almost entirely in the hands of branches of the
American General Electric Company. The
United States are, in addition, the chief consum-
erS Of tanning materials, the production of which
is almost exclusively the monopoly of the Brit
ish firm LA Forestal". The Argentine frozen
meat factories belong to the Chicago firms Of
Swift, Armor and Wilson. Whilst at the begin
ming of the present century the slaughter-houses
and frozen meat factories of Argentina were in
the hands of the English, the Americans have in
the meantime succeeded in gaining control OF
over SO per cent Of these undertakings.
Thanks to their dependence upon the English
market and upon the English banks and railways,
which convey their products abroad the Argen-
tine landowners were long orientated towards
England and not towards the United States The
American preferential tariff and pseudo-hy-
gienic laws, which closed the American markets
to Argentine imports, favored the consolidation
of Anglo-Argentine relations.
In the year 1928-29 Argentina, In the interest
of England, supported Paraguay in its conflict
with Bolivia over the disputed territory of Gran
Chaco Behind Bolivia there stood the Amer

and of participation in propaganda" 1t is
quite understandable that the shareholders of
the Jush- Amtorg have in the meantime decided
to cease all their purchases and commercial OPP
erations in Argentina. This decision has met
with the full approval of the working masses
in the Soviet Union, who are exceedingly indig
nant at the insoent anti-Soviet action. AS
result of the cessation of the activity Of the
Jush- Antorg, the deficit in the foreign trade
balance of Argentina will increase still further.
The situation in Argentina is very similar to
that which was created in Mexico in January
1880 at the time of breaking off diplomatic re-
latons with the U.S.S.R. Under the pressure
of powerful outside forces and in its desire to
find means OF dverting the growing indig
nation of the people, the Argentine government
is following the same path as that pursued by
the Mexican government

the workers by coming out and exposing BE
whole plot Of the police % frame-up : Com
munist Party. OF course any information that
the Communist Party can get to expose the po-
lice is welcome, but after Edgars work and his
offer to testify in coming criminal syndicalism
trials against the Party, the works. will wait
hell of long time and will want to see lot Of
work before they can begin to forget the betrayal
which Edgar performed.
The whole police plot was such miserable
failure that the workers all over Portland even
though they have not been able to get the Par
tvs analysis of the robbery are aware of the
true character of this robbery as means OF
discreditng the Party.
We might now remember this plot as the
pilot that failed, This does not mean that the
police are through. Now that they have so
thoroughly, exposed themselves as the real ones
who directed the bank robbery in order to lay
it at the door of the Party, they will redouble
their efforts to. frame the Party and individual
members. No trick is too low, no lie too base
beneath the paid hirelings of the police and
the bosses in trying to disrupt and smash the
workers movement.
The answer of the bosses, and the only thing
that can prevent and expose such frame-ups Is
more organization and struggle. Build powerful
Communist Party, that will be invncible before
the attacks of the capitalist agents A move
ment with such mass support that no such
frame-ups will be possible.
The answer of the workers must be to build
powerful branches of the unemployed councils
to fight to the limit for relief from the bosses
and the government. Strike against wage cuts
under the leadership of the Trade Union Unity
League. Defend the right of the workers to or
ganze, meet, protest, demonstrate and fight
against the capitalist system of misery, by build
ing powerful defense organization, the Inter-
national Labor Defense. Fight for the repeal
of the Criminal Syndcalism law. Demand the
release of Ben Boloff Demand the release Of
the remaining ten workers held on charges Of
criminal syndicalism. Join the Communist
Party and fight against this rotten system and
for workers and farmers government! This
is the only fitting answer the workers can give
to the bosses and their stool-pigeon agents.

The Economic Background of the Raid on the

ARGENTINA, the second largest Republic in
n South America is an agrarian country. In
dustry is but feebly developed. Industrial raw
materials are only worked up at home when this
results in an essential reduction of the freight
costs, or when the materials cannot be
placed on the markets without their having first
been worked up frozen meat, preserved food
and leather.
TIL typical form of landownership is big landed
estates embracing in some cases as much as u.s.
900 hectares Only 3.5 per cent of the area under
cultivation falls to small agricultural under
takings. The land is titled by tenant farmers.
The economic crisis and the big price drop
placed the small and middle tenant farmers in
q very difficult situation. Rent alone amounts to
40 per cent of price realized by the farmers for
the agricultural products placed on the market.
The high railway freights and the increased
price of imported agricultural machinery result
In the tenants having left very little over to
themselves from the yield Of the harvest. The
prices of grain are so low that the harvest yield
bften does not suffice to cover the costs of
transport.
Out of population of 1913 million, the indus
trial proletariat numbers 100000 persons, agrl-
cultural workers 100000, transport workers 10O-
800, etc. 100000 workers are organized in trade
hnions The spIit-up character of the trade
Unions renders the fight of the working class
more difficult Syndicalists, anarchists and re-
orrnists have their own trade unions in addi-
ion there exist small independent unions. The
evolutionary Trade Union Confederation Of
latin America, which is affiliated to the Red In
irrational Of Labor Unions, is condemned to
legality, but nevertheless carries on work to
rganize the forces Of the proletariat.
As regards capital invested in Argentina Brit
th capital holds first place with 1920 million
Iollars. The amount of United States capital
ivested in Argentina is roughly $50 million dol
hrs that Of other states 500 million dollars. Ar
entina is one Of the chief arenas in the fight
etween English and United States imperialism
