Struggle Against Yankee
Imperialism Spreads in Cuba

Havana, Cuba, Sept 1.-Two United
States warShipS are already in Cuba and
the entire navy is being prepared for in
tervention to crush the working people of
the island into submission to the Wall
Streets banks. The sudden action of the
New Deal administration in sending war
ships to Cuba is the result of the growing
speed being attained by the revolution in
Cuba.
On Sept. 5, President De Cespedes
who succeeded Machado several weeks ago,
was ousted and military group of took
over the dictatorship of the country. De
Cespedes, like Machado, was ousted by the
rebellion Of the working people.
The movement has now passed the
limits to which the group of five wanted to
keep it, Sugar factories owned by Wall
Street have been seized by the Cuban
people.
The struggle is developing against the
Yankee imperialism. For the first time in
the history of Cuba the Communist party
has held an open air meeting. The mill
tant working people met in the Central
Park in Havana, which was decorated with
red flags and guarded by troops and po-
lice, and determined to go forward with the
struggle against oppression and eXplolta-
ton against u. S. and Cuban capitalism.
The New Deal threatens war in Cuba
Only the united mass pressure of the
working people in the United States can
prevent intervention from taking place.
Protest the intervention program. De
mand the removal of American troops from
Cuba and American warships from Cuban
waters Stand determinedly for the right
of the Cuban working people to determine
their own destiny.

SUMMARY OF
PRINCIPLES

The United Farmers League
practices rank and file control
within the organization and insists
on leaders being responsible to the
members. Such a thing cannot
happen in the United Farmers
League as happened in the Holt
day Association in Iowa, for in
stance, that after the members
had voted unanimously to go on
strike. Milo Reno Individually cal
led off the strike at the request
of governors and other politicians.
Lawyers, politicians, insurance
gentlemen and such are not adj
mitted as members into the United
Farmers League no matter how
they pose as farmers friends"
And we make class distinction
between the rich, gentleman
creditor farmers and the actual
toiling, dirt farmers.
We place no faith In the quack
"relief" schemes Matched by "pro-
gressive" and liberal" politicians
which schemes are intended mere.
" to deceive the farmers and t.
benefit the creditors and exploit
ers. In opposition to these we Sc
up our own clear cut demands.
The United Farmers League
maintains that lobbying is fakery
We rely on the mass action of tn
farmers themselves to get results
While we strive to prove b,
word and action that the Unite
Farmers League is the organiza
ton that all toiling farmers shout
join, we do not seek to destroy
other existing farm oganizationI
but seek to educate the member
of other organizations for strue
gle and appeal to them to carr
on struggles in their own beha'
and to take rank and file contr'
in their organizations through X
cal committees of action. We al
at all times ready to unite wit

powers who rob the farmers are
also robbing the city workers. In
order to keep our struggle weak,
they try to set off the workers
against the farmers and the farm

on all small and middle farmers
to join forces with the city work.
ers. We must help them in their
struggles and cali upon them to
help US in ours. Effective action
against the common enemy, the
robber class, means solidarity with
the city workers, not in words
merely but IN a fighting alliance.
If the city workers go down, we
will go down too. When the city
workers come up, we will come up
with them.
The agricultural workers are
robbed by the same class that robs
US independent" farmers, tenants
and share troopers. For our own
good, in order to build an effec-
tive, united fighting front of the
downtrodden, it is our duty to
help the wage workers in tht
countryside in their struggles ant
help them organize into the Ag
ricultural Workers Industrial

union of the agricultural worker
does not exist as yet, these labor
