Solidarity for the Emancipation
Struggle OF the Filipino Proletariat

only the Communist International is the real
only leader Of the world struggles for national
freedom of the oppressed peoples and class
emancipation of the toiing masses. Thus, the
c. P. P. L was organized,
During the 18th Anniversary celebrations Of
the October Revolution held at the Plaza Mo-
riones, Manila, P. l., attended by more than.
5000 workers and peasants, the C. P p l. was
formally inaugurated. It's Platform was read be-
fore the enthusiastic masses and amidst encour-
aging shouts Of Long live the c. P; Long live
Philippine freedom! Long live the U. S. S. RI
Down with imperialism and capitalism! Down
with the imperialist world war!" etc. From that
date on the c. P. P. I. begun formally its work
as unit of the Communist International
The Communist principles are now pervading
into the minds of the Philippine toiling masses
showing their enthusiastic acceptance through
open adhesions and pledges expressed in crowd
ed mass meetings of the Party. This evidence of
popular enthusiasm was fully strengthened when
the funeral demonstrations of the late Conrade
Antonino D. Ora took place in which more than
$4,000 workers participated. The national bour-
geoisie frightened by this spectre OF Commu-
nism are trying to crush our young revolution
airy movement. In spite of the existence Of an
Organic Act known as the Jones Law, recognis-
ing the freedom of speech, of the press and as
ism forbid our Party to continue holding mass
meetings and demonstrations, even in private
premises They Systematically prosecute the
leaders of the Communist movement, and
through this ruthless persecution there are al
ready % comrades arrested and charged for Sc
dition. Besides this systematic persecution the
national bourgeoisie banned the Katipunan ng
mga Anakpawis sa Pilipinas (KAP. or Philip
pine Proletarian Labor Congress) from using the
mails its meetings are barred from public
squares and places in Manila and provinces.
They have altogether prohibited our delegates to
60 outside the Philippines and attend interna-
tional congresses They assaulted and jailed our
Chinese comrades with the purpose view TO
deport them and deliver them to the Chang
Kai-shek butchers in China. All these acts of ter
rorism, apparently, came directly under instruc
ton of Secretary of War Hurley of U. S. A. and
known official agent of Wall Street exploters.
We held already numerous mass meetings of
protest against this White Terrorism. The G. P.
P 1. is continuously organising mass demonstra-
tons and protests, and possibly mass strikes Of
protests, which, if it can be carried out effec-
lively, will hasten the decisive struggles for
tional liberation of the Philippines
In view of this grave situation we believe a
close cooperation and concerted action between
the G. P U. S. A. and the c. P. P. is an urgent
need of the hour. We demand from you to in
tensify the fight against American imperialism,
to expose the treacherous tactics of the Filipino
bourgeois leaders whose emmssaries are sent
from time to time to U. s., and to arouse effec-
lively the sentiments of the American Prole-
tariat in support of Philippine independence.
Only through our effective cooperation espe-
cially through your intensified work within the
U. S. A. Army and Navy, without doubt, we shall
come out VIGOROUSLY in our struggles.
We earnestly believe that from now .on our
Comrades in the c. P. U. S. A. and in the p L
will get more and more in close contact and will
always stick together in the national liberation
and world revolutionary movements
