Whether marines will be totally
withdrawn on Jan. l, 1888, or not
is not yet certain. They will prob
ably not be withdrawn. The Mic
araguan Guardia Nacional is not
sufficiently reliable. American ma
rine officials of the National Guard
have been killed; assertions from
the Guard are frequent. The deep
ening crisis, resulting in greater
mass struggles, makes it more diff
cult to keep the lid on in Mica
ragua.
Need Systematic Campaign.
1t is important to demand the
withdrawal of American marines to
carry on a systematic campaign for
this demand, but the mere with
drawal of marines can be accom-
plished without any benefit to the
anti-imperialist struggle in Mica
ragua, if it is replaced by native
National Guard capable of repres-
sing the revolutionary movement.
Demanding the withdrawal of ma
rines without demanding at the
same time complete and uncondi-
tional independence for Nicaragua,
without support of real anti-irn-
perialist movement in Nicaragua,
means to fall in line with the pol
icy of cooie killing Hoover and
colonial enslaver Stimson.
The struggle of the Army of Lib

anti-imperialiSts everywhere, but

ing class. The development of such
an anti-imperialist movement
should be aided in every way by
revolutionary workers, by ~ anti
imperialists, particularly IN the
United States.
The Anti-Imperialist League of
the United States has carried on
some propaganda on behalf of the
struggle of Sandino's Army of Lib
Grafton, but this campaign a few
years ago was only a campaign to
send medical supplies to Sandino's
Army, and not mass campaign in
support of Sandino's struggle.
Strengthen Anti Imperialist League.
An active campaign should be
developed in support of the Army
Of Liberation, and for the develop
ment of a real anti-imperialist
movement Of workers and peasants.
A nationwide campaign should be
carried on in the United States for
the withdrawal of American ma
rines from Nicaragua and Haiti as
well. The formation of branch
of the Anti-Imperialist League in
every important city in the United
States will make it possible to
carry on an effective campaign. If
The District Committees of the
Communist Party were alive to
their responsibility to help the COL
onial struggles, a great deal could
be done. But, as yet, they are not
alive to this. They do almost moth
ing about colonial questions. 1t is
also necessary to draw in for sup
port to the colonial struggle wider
elements of workers farmers, stu
dents and intellsctuals. This should
and can be done through the
strengthening of the existing
branches of the Anti-Imperialist
League and through the organiza-
ton Of new branches, beginning
with the district headef larter cities.
