FOR SOLIDARITY
WITH THE CUBAN
TOTLING MASSES
Appeal of the Anti
Imperialist League
of U.S.A.

Almost single-handed the Cuban
masses have fought the double mon
ster of United States imperialism and
its Cuban tool, President Gerardo
Machado. Drawing boundless terror
they have heroically developed a
clear-cut struggle against imperialism
in their strikes and demonstrations
The arch-enemy of the Cuban
masses is United States imperialism.
This power that reaches out to for
eign lands is also the power that OPP
presses us, the working class and the
farmers of the United States. The
enemy of the Cuban masses is our
enemy.
The sugar barons, the bankers, and
the utilities magnates, who Cypress
the Cuban workers and peasants are
the same who drive down our own
standards Of living They are the
same who cut the relief Of our I'M
employed, herding them into con-
servation camps, who have brought
ruin to our farmers, evaded income
taxes, and sold worthless securities.
We must join hands in solidarity.
Solidarity in action is our greatest
strength. The Cuban workers
showed this when they recently
stormed the office Of the American
consulate in Santiago, demanding
the release of the nine Scottsboro
boys. They have shown it in their
demonstrations against imperialist
war.
The Cuban masses are fighting our
fight. We must help them in theirs
To weaken the yoke of American i'm
perialism, to free Cuba, will be a VIC
| tory not alone for the Cubans. 1t
win greatly help our struggle here in
the United States. The fight is one.
We must not fail.
The moment is critical The United
States through Ambassador Sumner
Welles has interviewed in the we'll
known Yankee manner. With the
club of the Platt Amendment in one
hand, and its obedient servants, the
bourgeois Landlord opposition in the
other, imperialism is modifying its
forces to crush the struggles of the
Cuban masses for liberation.
This wretched opposition will tell
the masses that Machado will 60,
and that there is no further reason
for rebelling. And while saying this
they will be seeking to gain the favor
of Welles, hoping to get Machado's
| job as butcher.
Our voice OF protest must be lifted
so strongly that the Cuban masses
will know we are solid with them.
The Platt Amendment, forced into
the constitution Of Cuba with marine
bayonets, is the political instrument
through which Wall Street dominates
Cuba. We demand the withdrawal Of
the armed forces, and the complete
independence of Cuba from American
imperialism.
The nti-Imperialist League of the
United States has undertaken cam
paign in support of the Cuban masses
throughout this month, eliminating
in a Cuban Week, from July 23 TO
July 49, Many anti-imperialist or
CARNATIONS will participate. Central
open air rallies have been held in
New York, one in Harlem, one in the
Red Hook section of Brooklyn. and
a downtown Manhattan rally. In all
cities where there is Cuban con-
sulate, there will be demonstrations
on August LIST before them, just prior
to the main Anti-War demonstra-

United States government, raising the
