Active support in the fight against Yankee imperialism, which is preparing to make a new onslaught on the Latin-American workers by landing forces to oppress the strike of the 32,000 plantation workers in Colombia, was pledged in a cable sent yesterday by the American Anti-Imperialist League to the Colombia section of the All American Anti-Imperialist League.
The cable follows:
Colombia Section, All-America Anti-Imperialist League, Bogota, Colombia:
American imperialism is preparing to land military forces to protect United Fruit Co. interests in Colombia if the Colombia lackeys of Wall St. are unable to break the strike of workers and peasants. United Fruit Co. interests in Latin America, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars, are trying to crush the militant movement of Colombia workers and peasants. United States section of All-America Anti-Imperialist League is with you in your struggle and calls upon the Colombian section of the League to fight such intervention and prevent repetition of the Nicaragua invasion.
Signed: Paul Crouch, secretary;
Albert Moreau, director of Latin American section
