HAVANA, Cuba, Oct. 3.-SOYletS
have been established in Realengo,
Oriente Province, and others are
being formed in Guatanamo and
throughout the province. An APP
peal of the Central Committee of
the Communist Party Of Cuba called
upon all soldiers, marines and po-
lice to organize as part of the So
VETS and to fight, together with
the oppressed peasants and workers,
against the bourgeois landlord par
ties, against the terrorist Mendieta
government and against the impe-
rialist masters.
On the heels of the appeal comes
the news that with the truck driver
and omnibus employees of the in
. terror joining the transportation
strike in Havana and Oriente Prov
inces, a general strike wave is i'm
minent throughout the island.
General Strike Nears
The 24-hour general strike, to be-
gin at midnight Sunday, called by
the National Confederation of La
Dor and the Communist Party of
CUBA, will find some of the key
utilities and industries of the island
completely at a standstill.
e proclamation of the Central
CT rnittee follows:
\ Realcngo, Guatanamo region,
tie Big landlords, who have for
many years oppressed the peasants,
forcing them to labor under the
most difficult conditions in order
to change the mountainous lands
into rich and fertile soil, have now
attempted to appropriate the peas
ants for the benefit of the imperial
list company, "Corralillo," of the
Royal Bank of Canada.
Peasants Follow C. P. Line
''The peasants Of that region, who
have understood the role of the
bourgeois-landlord parties, have
prepared for their struggle against
appropriation from their lands. Fol-
lowing the revolutionary line of the
Communist Party and inspired by
the struggles of the proletariat,
these peasants have organized their
struggle in order to ward off the
attacks aimed at their appropriation
and with arms in hand have de-
cided to defend their lands, houses
and implements, the fruits of long
years of hard labor and agony.
The determination of the peas
ants to fight, organizing thei1
armed militia with proletarian dis
cipline and order, securing the sup
port of the workers and peasants
of the adjacent lands, fighting with
enthusiasm and confidence against
their eternal exploiters, has won the
first victory. The government and
the company have withdrawn Their
expropriating attacks.
