ANTI - IMPERIAL MEET DENOUNCES JINGO WAR PLANS
200 Delegates Attend Vital Conference

Forces that were operating for a new imperialist war with the members of the working class victims, were described by speakers at the annual conference of the All-America Anti-Imperialist League Saturday at the Irving Plaza Hall, 15th St. and Irving Place.

Attended by nearly 200 delegates, representing more than 100 organizations, the conference met, according to Robert W. Dunn of the Labor Research Association, to "elect a strong and widely representative delegation to the Second Anti-Imperialist World Congress in Paris, July 20-31, and to strengthen and broaden the anti-imperialist movement within the United States, cementing the alliance between all organizations here and in the countries under the yoke of Wall Street for an intensified fight against the increasing aggression and ruthlessness of Yankee imperialism."

Thousands Represented.

The speakers included Louis Gibarti, representative of the International League Against Imperialism; Roger Baldwin, of the American Civil Liberties Union; Richard B. Moore, of the American Negro Labor Congress; William Pickens, of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People; T. H. Li, of the Chinese Students' Alliance; Jack Johnstone, of the Trade Union Educational League, and Benjamin Marsh, of the Peoples Lobby.

A resolution was adopted, calling the Kellogg pact, disarmament conferences and proposals of peace talks between President Hoover and Premier MacDonald "a smoke screen for preparations for a war between Great Britain and the United States."

Richard B. Moore appealed to the American Negroes to participate actively in the world-wide anti-imperialist and emancipatory movement, describing the capitalists and imperialists as the common enemy of all oppressed peoples.

Johnstone Tells of India.

Jack Johnstone, who has just returned from India where he was imprisoned by the British government when he attended the All India Trade Union Congress, and subsequently deported, declared that India is on the eve of great and world-shaking events. "The Indian masses are rapidly becoming more revolutionary. The impoverished workers and peasants are growing restive under the yoke of British imperialism, as is shown by the recent strike wave. In April, while I was there, sixty workers were massacred and 700 wounded by the bullets of British imperialists. The oppressors are growing hysterical with fear and hatred of the revolutionary masses which threaten to break the stranglehold of foreign imperialism. This not only makes the British imperialists fear the loss of their richest colony, but it interferes with their preparations for imperialist war

and for an attack upon the Soviet Union, indications of which are seen in the recent raids upon the Soviet consulates in Manchuria and subsequent events which were instigated by British and American imperialists."

Denounces Labor Party.

Johnstone denounced the labor party government in Great Britain as equally imperialist as the Baldwin conservative government. "The reign of terrorism which the MacDonald government carried on in India in 1924 shows that the present attempt to crush the revolutionary trade unions and anti-imperialist organizations started by the Baldwin government will be continued by MacDonald. The labor party government is planning to try to reach an agreement, a truce, with the United States in order to carry out its imperialist aggressions in India, China and elsewhere, and its attack upon the Soviet Union.

Describes Strike Wave.

Harry M. Wicks, representing the Communist Party of the United States of America, pointed to the present strike wave in the United States as well as in Europe to show that the masses of workers and farmers throughout the world are growing increasingly radical, and ready for revolutionary struggles. He declared that the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics serves as an inspiration for the colonial peoples and the working class all over the world, and that this is the basic reason for the imperialist preparations for an attack upon this first workers' and peasants' government.

"The day is not so far distant as most at this conference imagine, when a Soviet government will be established here in this mightiest of imperialist nations."

Benjamin Marsh, secretary of the Peoples Lobby of Washington, said that "the appointment of Stimson of Wall Street as secretary of state, Dawes as ambassador to Great Britain and Hughes to the world court, indicate that the present regime will be one that will carry out the imperialist designs of Wall Street."

The conference was truly international in character, Negroes, Chinese, Japanese, East Indians, West Indians, Hawaiians, Filipinos, Latin-Americans and various other nationalities being represented among the delegates.
