WASHINGTON, Jan. rs. --
The Wall Street government,
the chief instigatOr of the wars
now raging in South America,
today engaged in fake ma
newer to avert" war between
its Colombian puppets and
Peru. The naneuver was lead
by Secretary Of State Stimson who
held a conference with representa-
tives of the imperialist powers sigma
tory to the Kellogg BRAND pact which
Is supposed to have "outlawed" war,
although imperiaist wars are now
raging in South America and the Far
East and the U. S. Government is
frantically preparing for an armed
struggle with Japan for the mastery
OF the Pacific and control over China.
Meet of Rivals
The conference took up the charges
of the y. S. Colombian puppets that
Peru was the aggressor in the present
undeclared war between Colombia
and Peru. Among the powers re-
presented were Great Britain, with
which the U. S. is n fierce struggle
for South American markets and re-
sources, both bandit powers using
their native lackeys to carry on the

contemptuously torn up the Kellogg
BRAND pact in launching it's .robber
war on China with the seizure OF
Manchuria and now the invasion OF
Jehol and North China
Z. S. Backs War.
The action of StinSon in calling
the conference is intended as
checkmate to the British attempt to
have the question of the South Am
erican wars taken up by the League
OF Nations. Aware that the League
OF Nations is controlled by Britain
and France ana any decision it makes
on the question would be in favor
of the British bloc of puppet states
in South America paraguay, Argen-
tine, Uruguay, etc) as against the
U. S. bloc bolivia, Colombia. and
possibly BraziD. the Washington
Government seeks to forestall the
British move and at the same time to
deceive the toiling masses of the
U. S. as to its peace" aims But the
same government which is staging
this farcial conference is supporting
its Bolivian and Colombian puppets
by permitting and endorsing huge
shipments of arms TO these two coun-
tries, by permitting the sale to Colon
bia of the U. S. freighter Bridge
town which was converted into an
armed troop transport in a Brooklyn
shipyard and sent to South America
under command OF an American
captain and with an American crew.
The Washington Government also
permits open recruiting in American
cities for the Colombian army and
navy. American captains are in COM
mand of most of the Colombian war
ships now moving up the Amazon
River to attack the Peruvian forces
at Leticia.
The workers of the u. S. must
answer these war instigations and
the present hypocriticaI vancouver
of the Wall Street Government
by strengthening the international
prOletarian front against imperialist
war, by a decisive struggle against
the capitalist war mongers, and
with firm support for the South
American anti-war Congress which
will be held Feb. % in Montevideo,
Uruguay.
Bolivian and Paraguayan forces
entered the sixth day Of the fierce
battle for possession of Fort Nanawa,
with the Bolivian forces, armed with
war material from the U. S., prac-
tically encircling the strong Gran
Chaco fort. Latest reports are that
over $500 nave been killed and
