The Workers Liberation League, along
with .ll those who have the interest of
the country at heart, absolutely con-
demns the onslaught of political vio-
lence.

The supporters of both the PNP and the
JLP must do everything to get the well-
thinking leaders of both parties to kick
out the handful of savage terrorists who
are both in the PNP and in the JLP.

Anyone whose battle cry is "death to all
socialists" is in no way representative
of JLP people but is just a violent
parasite. Anyone calling himself a so-
cialist, a communist or a revolutionary
who turns a blind eye to or encourages
at'rocities against JLP supporters is no
socialist at all but just a violent
parasite.

None of these savages have the support
of the vast majority of Jamaicans, re-
gardless of our political differences.

The vast majority want this violence to
stop now and want the struggles between
the different political organisations
whether democratic socialist, capitalist
or communist to go forward in a peaceful
democratic manner. Continued terror and
violence harm the working people first
and foremost and are completely against
the interests of the people o' the coun-
try who vitally need a stable political
framework in which progressive changes
beneficial to the people can be intro-
duced.

This violence and destabili-ation only
serves the interests of the American
Government and the local reactionary
natics who want ta put a stop to pro-


gressive changes no matter what the 'cal victimisation begun during the JLP
cost. The strategy which these forces, years but continued under the PNP
operating through the CIA, have now hit government.

ism of the JLP and the PNP. Their plan :In particular the WLL demands that im-

ern the country and can be pushed aside.


This plan of the CIA and the American
Government is based on two factors:
First, the fact that the working people
continue to suffer grave economic hard-
ships notwithstanding some of the pro-
gressive measures of Manley. Because of
these grave hardships people are luke-
warm, and do not appreciate the urgent
need to cone together to defend the
country in the present crisis.

Secondly, the two-party division amongst
the people enccurage- JLI people to pro-
tect JLP terrorists and PNP people to
protect PNP terrorists and blind them-
selves to the harr: that is being done to
our country.

The apsw(:r to this crisis of destabili-
sation is therefore two-fold:

Firstly, the Manlty government must act
now against the loc-l and foreign reac-
tionaries to rueuce the economic hard-
ship of the e.crkinq people, especially
to cut down the high ccst ct living.
This is the only way to rally the people
to defend the country in the present
crises.

Secondly, the government and Prime
Minister Manley in particular must take
immediate practical steps to end politi-


JOn the-basis of this practical demon-
1 stration of non-partisar.ship we urge the
people to support the Creation of genui-
nely non-partisan community defense
groups in which all working people re-
gardless of their political views will
participate on an absolutely equal foot-
ing.

These ractical measures will help to
heal the divisions between the working
people, isolate the terrorists of both
parties and so undercut the strategy of
the CIA and the American Government.
This strategy is to use the terrorists

NYS workers sa


NATIONAL Youth Service workers have re-
jected the government's proposal to cut
back on the intake of service workers
and to reduce the NYS programme to one
year.

Beginning in September this year the
government plans to limit the NYS pro-
gramme to one year and to reduce the
annual intake of workers from 4,500 to
1,500.

The NYS workers at the second congress
of the National Youth Service Workers
League condemned this proposal by the
Minister of Youth, Douglas Manley, as
one which comes at a time when the peo-
ple of the country, including the youth,
are faced with serious economic hard-
ships. 'They also pointed out that the
government had refused to increase their
allowance despite the fact that since
the inception of the Service the cost of
living has gone up by more than the
33 1/3 percent increase the workers are
requesting.

The delegates trom thirteen parish
associations attending the congress
pointed out that the NYS and other
social programmes could be properly

made by the foreign and local capital-


ists in the country.

FIDEL SPEAKS ON ANGOLA


Following are excerpts from a speech
made by Commander-in-Chief, Fidel
Castro, at the ceremony commemorating
the 15th anniversary of the victory of
Playa Giron, Havana, April 19, 1976.

In April 1961 Cuban forces defeated the
invasion of counter-revolutionary forces
backed by the US. In this speech Fidel
Castro refers to the defeat of imperial-
ism in Angola as an "African Giron".
(Editor's Note)


The war in Angola was really Kissinger's
war. Against the advice of some of his
closest collaborators, he insisted on
carrying out covert operations to liqui-
date the MPLA through the counter-
revolutionary FNLA and UNITA groups,
with the support of white mercenaries,
Zaire and South Africa. It is said that
the CIA itself warned him that such
clandestine operations could not be kept
secret. Aside from the fact that the
FNLA was supported by the CIA from the
time it was founded, a fact now publicly
acknowledged, the United States invested
several million dollars from the Spring
of 1975 on, to supply arms and instruct-
ors to the counter-revolutionary and
separatist Angolan groups. Instigated
by the United States, regular troops
from Zaire entered Angolan territory in
the summer of that same year, while
South African military forces occupied
the Cunene area in the month of August
and sent arms and instructors to the
UNITA bands.

At that time there wasn't a single Cuban
instructor in Angola. The first mater-
ial aid and the first Cuban instructors
reached Angola at the beginning of
October, at the request of the MPLA,
when Angola was being insolently invaded
by foreign forces. However, no Cuban
military unit had been sent to Angola to
participate directly in the fight nor
was that projected.

SOUTH AFRICAN INVASION


FORD AND KISSINGER LIE

Ford and Kissinger lie to the people of
the United States and to world public
opinion when they try to place responsi-
bility for Cuba's solidarity actions in
Angola on the Soviet Union.

Ford and Kissinger lie when they seek to
blame the Congress of the United States
for the defeat of the interventionists
in Angola, because Congress failed to
authorize new funds for the FNLA and
UNITA counter-revolutionary groups.
Congress made those decisions on
December 16, 18 and 19. By that time
the CIA had already supplied large
amounts in arms, Zairean troops had been
repulsed in Luanda, Cabinda had been
saved, the South Africans were contained
and demoralized on the banks of the
Queve River and no shipment of arms from
the CIA would have changed the already
inexorable course of events. Today they
would be in the hands of the revolution-
ary forces like many of those it sup-
plied earlier.


US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger,
recently completed a tour of African
countries. During his stay in Africa,
Kissinger said in Zaire that the US sup-
ported gradual majority rule in Rhodesia
(but not in South Africa:). He refused
to support the militant armed struggle
of the Zimbabwe guerilla movement to
overthrow Ian Smith, but "in principle"
he said on April 28th, "the US is wil-
ling to assist the parties in Rhodesia
to bring about the rapid achievement of
majority rule and guarantee of (white)
minority rights".

United States, South African regular What is behind this tactical shift by

On November 5, 1975, at the request of
the MPLA, the leadership of our Party
decided to send with all urgency a bat-
talion of regular troops with antitank
weapons (Applause) to help the Angolan
patriots resist the invasion of the
South African racists. This was the
first Cuban troop unit sent to Angola.
When it arrived in the country, the for-
eign interventionists were 25 kilometers
from Luanda in the north, their 140 mil-
limeter artillery was bombing the sub-
urbs of the capital and the South
African fascists had already penetrated
more than 700 kilometers into the south

was heroically defended by MPLA fighters
and a handful of Cuban instructors.

Ford and Kissinger lie to the people of
the United States, and especially to thi
black population of that country, when
they hide the fact that the fascist and

there.

gime. This will leave South Africa
alone and increase demands for final
economic and political independence in
Africa.

This poses a direct threat to US invest-
ments in both South Africa and Black
Africa. In South Africa alone, 350 US
multinational corporations have invested
$1.5 billion in manufacturing and miner-
als. This figure is increasing by 20%
every year. Trade with South Africa has
grown three times since 1969. But while
its single largest investment is in
Southern Africa, US corporations like
Kaiser, Reynolds and Goodyear are plun-
dering the wealth of Black Africa to an
even greater degree. US imperialism has
invested $2.4 billion in Black Africa in
oil, bauxite and other precious miner-
als. Unequal trade enforced by the US
has grown seven times since 1969 and
total trade now stands at $11.6 billion.


It is little wonder that Kissinger is
trying to blunt the spear of the Africa]
liberation movement, to buy time with
the African governments by pretending t(
be a big friend in the Rhodesian strug-
gle.


But this new bait is not being snapped
up by Black Africa. The armed struggle
in Rhodesia and Namibia is intensifying.
Tn May, at the UN Conference in Nairobi,
when Henry Kissinger proposed a so-
called International Resources Bank to
speed up the plunder of Africa and other
developing countries by US multinational
companies, the spokesmen from the
developing countries rejected this propo
sal and demanded equal trade relations
and a new and just international order.
It looks as if time is running out for
the manoeuvres of Dr. Kissinger and US
imperialism. The clock can no longer be
turned back in Black Africa.

main purpose of the party is to get the

This means threo things.
Then after the, promises how many times Firstly the party member must be con-

ience from Bustanante's days down to the class is the friend of the people. The
present time many workers believe that Communist Party of the working class
"this is politics", that no matter what cannot be a party of struggle unless all
the communists say, their party is going its members are conscious of the true
to be no different. They feel that the meaning of socialism and communism which
people who say they are communists are is the final aim of the struggle and
just looking out for themselves just what are the steps along the way to this
like the PNP, the JLP and the present goal. This consciousness can only come
party politicians, with knowledge of the science of work-


ing-class struggle which is Marxism-
Leninism. Without this knowledge tae
party member fails to understand the
working of imperialism and capitalism
and is unable to show the people how the
enemy turns them against ore another in
order to hold on to his ill-gotten
gains. But consciousness is not enough.

The second thing about the member of the
Communist Party of the working class is
that he is at all times willing to make
sacrifice in carrying out the practical
work of the struggle without looking for
anything in return. Consciousness does
not make any sense unless it shows it-
self in practical assistance to the
struggle of the people which is going on
every day. People who only talk, people
who boast and shoot off their mouth can-
not really carry the working-class
struggle very far and therefore cannot
gain admission to the Communist Party of
the working class. People who are only
looking something for themselves the
"passengers" and "free-riders" whom
every worker knows in every plant also
cannot get into the Communist Party.
Such people, no matter how many books
they have read or how radical they
sound, are really holding back the
struggle and helping to keep up the sys-
tem of imperialism and capitalism.

Thirdly, the member of the Communist
Party of the working class must be high-
ly disciplined and be able to work as
part of a team. Every worker knows that
without discipline, without coopera-
tion, without organisation he is at the
mercy of the capitalist. No matter how
conscious and how militant we are, once
we are fighting by ourself without link-
ing hands with our brothers and sisters
against the oppressor, the capitalist
can always push us around. How much
more unity is necessary to fight against
the system and to overthrow the power of
the whole class of exploiters. This is
why the Communist Party of the working
class has to make sure that no member of
the party works by himself; each member
is part of a collective all for one
and one for all.

Without a membershipwhich is CONSCIOUS,
HARD-WORKING AND UNITED experience in
different countries proves that the
Communist Party of the working class
cannot really struggle to overthrow the
system and becomes no different from the
capitalist parties.


TREVOIR INROE


U


speaks cot'drl

Angola. Ford and Kissinger know per-
fectly well that everything I say is
true.
The enemy has talked about the number of
Cubans in Angola. It is sufficient to
say that, once the struggle began, Cuba
sent the men and the weapons necessary
to win that struggle (Arpzpase). In
honour to our people we must say that
hundreds of thousands of fighters from
our regular troops and reserves were
ready to fight alongside their Angolan
brothers (App lase).

Our losses were minimal. In spite of
the fact that the war was fought on four
fronts and our fighters fought alongside


the heroic MPLA soldiers in the libera-
tion of almost a million square kilo-
meters (Applause) that had been occupied
by the interventionists and their hench-
men, fewer Cuban soldiers were killed in
action in more than four months of
fighting in Angola, than in the three
days of fighting at Giron (AppZause).

ROLE OF THE SOVIET UNION

Cuba made its decision completely on its
own responsibility. The USSR which
had always helped the peoples of the
Portuguese colonies in the struggle for
their independence and provided beseiged
Angola with basic aid in military equip-
ment and collaborated with our efforts
when imperialism had cut off practically
all our air routes to Africa never re-
quested that a single Cuban be sent to
that country. The USSR is extra-
ordinarily respectful and careful in its
relations with Cuba. A decision of that
nature could only be made by our own
Party (AppZlaus).
