25, 50 and 75 Years Ago
January 8, 1993
Washington is moving close to active military intervention in the former
Yugoslavia. The ruling families of the United States, Germany, Britain
and France are seeking to intervene to put their stamp on the outcome of
events.
The last thing the people of former Yugoslavia need is imperialist
military intervention. In the past they have fought to overcome national
divisions and unite to advance their own interests, including against
Nazi occupation in the 1940s.
From the beginning of the carnage a year and a half ago, layers of the
working class in Yugoslavia have resisted the slaughter. Working people
around the world should demand an end to the economic sanctions against
Serbia, as well as the arms embargo, massive food and medical aid to the
besieged people of Bosnia.

The organizers of the boycott by Black athletes of the 1968 Olympics
have drawn up a list of demands which must be met before they will call
off the boycott.
The demands include: 1) Reinstatement of Muhammad Ali as world boxing
champ; 2) No competition between the United States teams and the
“lily-white” teams of South Africa and Southern Rhodesia; 3) An end to
the discrimination against Black people and Jews by the New York
Athletic Club;
4) Appointment of an additional Afro-American coach to the U.S. Olympic
team; 5) Appointment of a Black person to the U.S. Olympic Committee
and; 6) Resignation or ouster of Avery Brundage, the President of the
International Olympic Committee.
January 2, 1943
The American ambassador to Bolivia stands accused of having intervened
on behalf of the Bolivian bosses against the workers during the strike
at the Catavi tin mines in Bolivia.
Ernesto Galarza, chief of the Labor Division of the Pan American Union,
stated: “The workers have been demanding for many years the passage of a
new labor code which would grant them the right to collective
bargaining, freedom of organization, minimum wages, and the payment of
wages at least every fifteen days. This code was to have been approved
by the Bolivian Congress on December 8. On the days immediately
preceding that date, the ambassador communicated to the president of
Bolivia the viewpoints of the big mine operators, the object of which
was to delay or prevent the improvement of working conditions set forth
in the code.”
