repeated abuses of the American marines and
The virtual military dictatorship of the Puppet
Moncada Government of Nicaragua and the in
tolerable conditions of the poor peasants, are
the main causes for the renewed offensive of
the Army Of Liberation now in a guerilla war

more.
American imperialsts in order to cover up
their greedy and rapacious desj for the COM
plete s''Niugation If Nicaragua, have mobilized
their press FOR against "banditry" in Nueva
Segovia An undeniabe fact is that the poor,
downtrodden peasants in that region and in
fact, throughout Nicaragua, are swelling the
ranks of the revolutionists in desperate fight
against the invaders and the Moncada regime.
The most vivid indication of the imperialist
regime of terror installed by the American gov
ernnent wi has comp'2te control and super
vision of the National Guard, is the result of
the last elections which took place in Nicaragua
in September of 1890 No more than 40 per cent
Of the electorate appeared before the polls to
cast their votes. more important event that
clearly demonstrates the great discomfort of the
oppressed masses against the national" gov
ernment and the demagogues of the Pan-Amer-
ican Federation of Labor, is the withdrawal OF
the Nicaraguan Federation of Labor from mem
bership in the Pan-Amercan Federation of
Labor last August and its affilation to the revo-
lutionary Latin American Confederation of
Labor The revolutionary recrudescence of the
masses in Nicaragua is now shown by the at
tempt of the peasants and workers to blend to-
gether, in spite of the fascist terror, in joint
struggle against imperialism and the feudal land
lords. The present revolt of the peasants and
tenant farmers against the enormous taxes i'm
posed upon them by the big landlords who con-
stantly CAL / the American cont~r'led Ma

to Do?

monopolies which buy your produce and sell you
things.
That IS why we say Senator Caraway is a
hypocrite. because he talks as though you suf-
fer only from weather. when the truth is that
the drouth would not have hurt you If it had
not been that the capitalist class, of which he
is a part, robs you every day in every way.
Senator Robinson comes from the Arkansas
county where the starving farmers demanded
food with arms, and got it; Robinson comes from
Arkansas the State whose people are mot able
to pay their taxes and which cannot feed its
own people, according to Congressman Parks.
But Senator Robinson actively supported the
London Naval Treaty, which meant spending
s1,00O0O0,0OO for more warships for the United
States
Demand all war funds be used to feed and
house the starving workers of the cities and
starving farmers of the countryl Unite-to stop
paying rent! Refuse to pay mortgages or in
terest on taxes! And all together prevent any
seizure for taxes, and evictions from your honest

and that in such action you will be opposed by
all capitalist politicians, even those pretending
to be you friends that only in the Communists
and other really militant workers of the cities
will you find loyal support and brotherly as

IN order to perpetrate their system of robbery
and exploitation of the Negro masses, the white
ruling class has spread its poisonous fangs of
hatred among the sections of the white laboring
class. This breastwork of defense which keeps
the Negro and white workers divided, rendering
organization more difficult, contributes to the
deepening of social antagonisms Likewise it
prevents a unified attack against the boss class
by the masses of workers to better their living
conditions.
The revolutionary trade unions must recognize
the necessity of winning the majority OF the
working class to fight for better economic condi-
tons. To win the confidence of the Negro work.
ers for participation in the struggle, 10 smash
white superiority complex and 100 per cent
Yankee arrogance, is cardinal task of the trade
unions. To achieve this end we must ever be
on the alert to destroy the bulwark of white
chauvinisna, and all manifestations of passiyity
and resistance to demonosotrate to the Negro
workers the correctness of our program of
struggle
Recently in the Needle Trades Union in Phila-
delphia the comrades had an opportunity to
prove 10 the Negro workers the correctness OF the
union line towards all workers But they did
not avail themselves Of this convenient occasion.

The League For What-IssItsa
By JORGE

The delightful ounces who flutter around the
flame of social fascism as represented by The
Rev. Music, the Rev. Norman Thomas and their
League for Industrial Democracy (LID presun-
ably to cover up bad smelling matter), give lis,
every once in a while something to chuckle over.
We forebore, little before Christmas to COM
ment on the letter sent out then by the LID,
with Christmas suggestion" that it would be
nice, in fact nothing could be nicer, than to
present friend with membership card In the

Christmas, seems just as welcome chunk Of

precise, the LID hed its winter Conferencen at

who got a membership in his sock from Old

the comrade offered this as an excuse to not
waging a desperate fight Immediately The or
ganzer G. the union took the floor and made
speech, failing to mention the exclusion of the
Negroes, but merely explaining the program of
the trade Union Unity League on the Negro
question This he thought to be sufficient and
would break down the opposition. But the Ne

Such methods will not destroy white chauvin-
