They we're put in Cabanas fortress,
where the assassin, ex-President
Machado, used to torture and
slaughter those who resisted Yankee
rule.
In every part of Cuba arrests are
being made and literature confls-
Gated. But none of this terroris-

Roosevelt's New Deal oppression and
for Soviet Power in the Americas.
May Day demonstrations in China
this year will be held under the
conditions, in the Soviet districts, of
tremendous victories against the
Sixth Anti Communist Campaign of
Chang Kai-Shek, financed largely
by the Roosevelt government and
American imperialism. Here the
majority Of over 50,000,000 peo-

and the Soviet Union, and against
/ imperialism.

part of the Socialist Party leaders,
