betray the anti-imperialst struggles of the
masses and invariably to unite with the i'm
perialists and feudal latifundists in savage and
bloody suppression of the workers and toiling
peasants Above all else the example of China
should prove to the Filipino workers and pea
SAINTS the imperative need of their own revolu-
tionary mass movement, organizationally and
politically independent of and opposed to the
Vaccillating and compromising leadership OF the
national bourgeosie their own movement which
is possible of success only when led by the pro-
letariat whose guide and leader in the Com
munist Party Of the Philippine Islands
The dangers that beset any other course in
the Philippines are already apparent in the
manoeuvers of certain Filipino bourgeois leaders
to intrigue with Japanese imperialism against
American Imperialism as though escape for the
Filipino masses from imperialiSt oppression were
possible by changing imperialiSt oppresSors, in
spite of the bloody lessons of thirty years ago
when America with fire and sword massacred
your fathers whom it liberated from Spain"
only to enslave to itself and subject you as
colonial serfs until today! The sole guarantee
against such treachery, such reptiles as Aghialdo
who sold out the struggle against American i'm
perialism for the right to rob the peasants OF
their land and fat pension is today the
independent revolutionary action of the wide
political party, the Communist Party of the
Philippine Islands.
In the u. S. A.
On our part the Communist Party of the U. S.
A. will do everything physically within our
power to aid the Filipino masses in their struggle
for complete, immediate and unconditional in
dependence. The same world economic Crisis,
the burden of which American imperialism tries
to unload alike on the toilers of the Philippines
and the toilers of the United States itself, is
preparing vast upheavals Of the masses within
the very heart of American imperialism; up
heavaIs which by thes conscious guidance OF the
Communist Party of the United States of Amer
lea can but weaken the power to rob and OPP
press the toiling masses of both the u S. A. and
the Philippines and advance the common strug-
gle.
With other II 100000 unemployed workers and
their approximately 100000 dependents star
wing, with the capitalists making repeated gen.
eral attacks on wages, with millions of small
proprietors and tenant farmers suffering I'M
heard of misery and real starvation, with r.
C00,0o0 Negroes stirring against oaroarous
national oppression within the boundaries of
continental United States, the Communist Party
of the United States of America faces tasks
which tax it to the utmost limit of its capacity
Hardly a day passes in which the American
workers and small farmers do not engage in
mass physical collisions with the capitalist po-
lice; hardly day in which American "democ-
recy" does not spill the blood OF American
toilers!
The American masses are moving into battle
against American imperialism, against the in
sane system of capitalist rule which dooms them
to starye amid mountains of food, to go I'M
sheltered amid countless palaces they have built
to go ragged although they make wool, cotton
and silk enough to clothe the world
In this battle the Communist Party OF the
United States of America faces not only the
openly repressive forces of the bourgeolsle, but
the treacherous misleaders of the toilers, the
servants of the bourgeoisie in the ranks OF the
workers the social-fascist socialist" party and
the leadership of the American Federation OF
Labor These scoundrels, together With such
capitalist politicians as Congressman Halves, VINO
recently paraded his demagogy before the FIJI
pino people although they occasionally utter
some empty words about Philippine lndepen-
dence. in practice do everything in their power
to strengthen imperialism at its base IN the
United States, in practice aid imperialism by be-
traving and depressing the fight of American
toilerS against it.
The American Federation of Labor has just
repeated its hypocritical gesture of endorsing"
Philippine independence, but 1t demands the
exclusion of Filipino workers from immigration
into the United States and encourages the brutal
and bloody chauvinist outrageS against Filipino
workers in California which are melted in the
interests of capitalists and rich plantation own
ers to divide the Americana born and the Fill
nino immigrant workers and prevent united
nroletarian strike action against their exploiters
The Communist Party of the United States OF
America asserts the proletarian right OF these
Filipino workers to immigrate to the United
states. It has found them ready and brave to
unite in struggle with other workers for COM
mon class interests. 1t has endeavored to de-
fend them against chauvinist attack and TO
develop them as fighters for their class ana the
freedom of their people from American i'm
perialism.
The Communist Party of the United States of
America acknowledges its weaknesses and snort
conings in arousing the American masses lor
concrete aid to the struggles OF the Filipino
masses. What we have done is not enough.
The greatest handicap is the lack OF continuous,
regular and intimate interchange OF ln1orma-
ton and advice. We urge that special attention
be given to sending us such material, and on
our part we pledge to do all in our power 10
make effective use of it.
Against War. Defend the U.SS.R!
Comrades of the Philippines! War CLOUDS
hover over the Far East, over the whole world!
The .Japanese imperialist bandits are making
war on the Chinese people. The Philippines, as
well as Manchura, are war base OF Imperial
ism against the Soviet Union, against Soviet
Chinal Imperialism, torn by its inner antagon-
