The Mo,otevideo Conference

THE Pan American Conference now going on down at
Montevdeo Uruguay, is stage where one can see the
forces OF the present situation, they involve Amer
lean Imperialism at play,
Two things stand at once in the latest reports
nom the Conference.-The aggressive drive Of Wall
Street imperialism as represented by Roosevelts en-
voy Secretary of State Hull and the struggle at
the conference between the two most powerful I'M
periast rivals in present day capitalist world the
Omitted States and Britain.
And ever present beneath ali the diplomatic dis
ewssions and the imperialist antagOnisms is the in
visible presence of the millions Of oppressed workers
and peasants in these Latin and South American
countries whose struggles against imperianst inter
vetion the overthrow Of their oppression both
native and imperialis constantly growing tn reyo-
iuticnary force.
This was the unconcealed significance Of the
mark of Dr. Name the Uruguayan Foreign Minister,
who was elected permanent President Of the Pan
American Conference; when he said to the assembled
delegates:
"Civixation h nOw going through profoand
economic crisis which if further prolonged will bring
fncalculahte consequences to the social and moral
order"
It is, thus, not only the OF the Interim
perialist struggles, but also as conscious instrument
for the suppression of the vast sntimpertast strug
gies of the Iatt-Aerican that the conference
meets.
ABOVE ALL it is Yankee imperialism the imperialism
n OF Wall Street. that stands brutaly forth at the
Conference trying to win the aid Of the bourgeoisie
landlord rulers of the various South American coun-
tries as allies in It's struggle against British imperial
ism for the domination of these seicolonal markets.
Il is the Roosevelt-Wan Street imperialism that
now warships in the harbor Of Havana, and which
has set an iron heel of military and financial dictator
ship Haiti which intrigues and maneuvers at the
Conference for advantages in these South American
markets
The conference has admitted representatives from
and porg gy1I fIa3a Ehroy4a ay1d
Britain are wedgng their way into the conference.
Tie League of Natives declares that Geneva is the
proper place for discussions of peace That is the
voice of Britain and France replying to the Wall Street
imperialism declaration of United States domination
over the Latin Americas.
Wall Street has investments OF over nve to SIX
billion dollars in these countries. Huge loans upon
which the native boWgeose-Ian of these coun-
tries have sliced their share OF booty must be paid,
and ground out of the native workers and peas
ants by the native Landlords doing the bid
ding Of their Wall Street financial masters.
Prior to the recent World Economic Conference
thai failed mserably at London British imperial
ism anticipating the renewed drive Of Wall Street
psriahs for its markets, swiftly arranged for recip
roca trade agreements with many Of the largest South
American countries
It is against these trade agreements that the Roose-
velt inperahst government drives. The fight grows
more open, ruthless every day, driving steadily
towards imperalist war
building program, his billion dollar expenditure for
within the last six months.
LIST it not be forgotten that it was Roosevelt who
fastened Haiti its present semi-colonaI slavery
when he Under rSecretary Of the Navy under Will
son. In Roosevelt Wall St. has faithful tool for its
imperjalist designs
IAdPERIALIST Warl Military Intervention to crush
the struggles OF the South and Latin American masses
against the yoke Of Wall Street and British inper-
ialisrn-that is what looms closer as the mperalist
powers prepare for the division of the world markets
Against these inperialst war preparations the
American must unite with the toilers of Latin
and South America in working class solidarity to fight
lmperiaiist war and Wall Street intervention
At the present moment, the United States anti
mperaiist delegation is in Cuba bringing the message
of the solidarity of the American masses with the
Cuban toilers in their fight against u S. mperiaIist
intervention and domination This is symbol of the
anti imperalist unity that be cemented between
the masses Of the u S. the toing masses of the
Latin and South American countries
AS the imperalists maneuver at the Pan American
Conference, it is the duty Of the American masses
above ALL it is the duty of the Communist Party of
the United States to take the lead the organization
OF the struggles of the toing against Wall St
imperialism and for the solidarity of the tong masses
OF the United States with the masses of Latin America
for the driving out Of American imperialism from the
countries of South America and for the defeat of ifs
aperalist plans.
