The Anti-Imperialist League Of the
United States yesterday sent out the
following call, urging all working
class and anti-impsrialist organiza-
tons to support the revolutionary
struggles of the Chilean masses, and
as a beginning, to adopt the follow
ing resolution and forward it to the
Chilean Embassy at Washington, D.
c., and the local Chilean consulates,
with copies to the press. Copies of
the resolution can be obtained from
the League offices, 799 Broadway,
Room 536, New York. The resolution
follows:
Stop the Terror in Chile!
Whereas, the Davila government of
Chile is carrying on a campaign of
terror against the masses. closing
down the halls of the revolutionary
trade unions. outlawing the Commu-
mist Party, arresting more than 500
Communists. prohibiting the strikes
prohibiting meetings and demonstra-
tons by those workers organizations
opposed to Yankee and British i'm
perialism and to the fascist Davila
government; and is attempting, I'M
der state of martial law, to sup
press completely the anti-imperiahst
movement; and
Whereas, the DaYila Government
has already revealed itself openly as
an agent of the imparialist powers
having completely given up its dem
agogic program used to fool part OF
the masses to support its military
coup; the attacks on the workers and
peasants being aimed to assure i'm
perialist control of the Chilean nj
trates and copper for use in the Far
East: and
Whereas, the campaign of terror
against the toiling masses Of Chile
is similar to the program of the Hoo
yer war and hunger administration
in the United States, where workers
are faced by increasing unsmploy-
ment and starvation, by Hoover's
wage cutting campaign, by the Dies
Deportation Bill, by war preparations
against the Chinese people and the
Soviet Union; and whereas, the mass
es of Chile and we in the United
States have to fight the same enemy
Wall Street; therefore be it resolved
That we will carry on this struggle
Jointly with the oppressed masses ir
Chile, in the Philippines, in Porto
Rico and the other colonies and semi
colonies of American imperialism
pledging our full support to their
struggle to free themselves from the
yoke Of Yankee and British imper-
ialism. We protest most energetically
against the campaign of terror waged
against the revolutionary elements
We demand the immediate reopenine
of all workers clubs and halls closed
down by the government. We de-
mand the right of workers and peas
ants class struggle organizations tc
exist and function without interior
ence from the government. We de-
mand the immediate freedom of all
political prisoners from Chilean jails
We demand that the Hoover admin
istration keep American warships and
marines out of Chile; and be it fur
Their Resolved: That we send copies
of this resolution to the Chilean con-
sulate, II Battery Place, New York;
to the Chilean Embassy, Washington,
D. c.; and to Secretary of State Slim
son, Washington, D. c.; to the labor
