The Growing
Fight Against
imperialism
BY e. P. GREENE

THE latest number of the Anti
Imperialist Review CVol. 2, No.
y, published in Berlin by the In
ternational Secretariat of the
League Against Imperialism, is now
available in this country.
The leading article, National
Reformism in the Present Situa-
tion," by Safarov, is d penetrating
analysis of the theory and role of
national reformism in the colonial
countries, especially in China. 1t
ably exposes the position of the
leadership of the Second Interna-
tional on the colonial question.
1.-THE Egyptian Wafd as a Party
Of National Betrayal" by j. B., is
concise account of the history
and role of the Wafd from 1919 to
the present. The Wafd is the ma
tional reformist party of Egypt,
which there plays the role OF be-
trayer of the masses that Gandhi
does in India. The article also
clearly exposes the imperiaIst
policy OF the British labor govern
ment in regard to Egypt.
"G I, and the paoihst vari-
ETY. of Imperialism" by Saklat-
vala, former member of the British
Parliament, is a smashing attack
on Gandhi, on the pacifst-chau-
vinists who support him, and on
the liberal regime of Lord r.
win, the former ,viceroy, most vici-
GUS Of all the British tyrantS who
have governed India. The article
makes it very. clear that the British
capitalist class is fully aware that
Gandhi is their best and Surest tool
in India.
The article on national reform
ism, viii The Democratic Party
Grant Filipino Independence"
deals mainly with the Philippine
Civic Union, a national reforInist
organization which supports the
Democratic Party in the U.S.A.
The article proves conclusively that
the Democratic Party in the past
has, when in power, carried out
the wishes OF its Wall st. masters
just as efficiently as the Repub-
lican Party.
THERE are two articles on Latin
America: 1.-THE New U.S.A.
Treaty With Haiti, by Leiva, and
Foremost Tasks OF the Fight
Against American Imperialism"
The latter article, besides contain
ing some errors, de, 1t speaks Of
q naval revolt in SALVADOR is too
general and not well coordinated.
Only a small part Of it deals with
specific tasks. 49,. '.'
One of the most interesting ar
ticles is ''Imperialist Expansion and
the Natives of Australia" by Coz
lin, which shows how British I'M
perialis1n has literally exterlninated
the aborigenes of Australia, and
refuting the lie of the apologistS
for imperialism that the aborigenes
have become" extinct. This same
policy Of determination was used
by American capitalism against the
Indians, and is today being used
in many parts of South America
against the native Indians there.
"The Revolt in the West Ukraine, I"
by Michailenko, tells of the mass
uprisings of the peasants in East
ern Poland against unbearable
conditions, and Of the brutal sup
preston of these uprisings by the
butcher Pilsudski.
THIS number of the Review also
contains very informative ar
ticleS on the role Of the Interna-
tional Red Aid in the anti-impe-
rialist struggles in the colonies; on
the trade unions in Indonesia
Dutch East Indies); and on the
Meerut prisoners who have only
now been given vicious sentences,
after having rotted in jail for al
most years.
