MATERIAL ASSISTANCE
In August 1936 he was created in Paris the "International Committee for Aid to the English Republic." From this moment on Cuba appeared numerous partnerships and initiatives to bring material support to the "Republic". The Cuban Communist Party developed a working group to support English Republic in each of its cells and local committees and with this the Central de Trabajadores de Cuba, other organizations like the Revolutionary Association, the Brotherhood of Young Cubans, the Association of Young People, the National Agrarian Party or the Regional Committee Workers formed the fabric of this initiative, which joined the English organizations present in Cuba who supported the "Republic" such as the Casa de la Cultura, English Republican Circle and the Social Circle Español.Todos these groups were integrated into a front and showed no apparent cracks in the organizational model. The National Association of English Village Aid " born in October 1936 and had its headquarters in the street Virtues of The Habana.Su composition as that was very diverse and in addition to the above training, trade organizations, industry supporters of republican government and a wide field of intelligentsia and academia Cuban iniciativa.Entre joined the prominent leader José López Rodríguez were being elected president of the company, Sarah Pascual, Ramiro Valdes and sugar leader Jesus Menendez.Esta organization made its work to the "Committee English Village Aid "based in Barcelona from where they coordinated aid from various parts of world.
Other organizations operating in parallel and often in coordination were the Association of Child Help English ", the" University Committee Assistance English Village "or the" Committee of Friends of Cuban combatants and Mutilated in Republican Spain ".
Association's work was divided into two sides, on one hand the collection of material aid consisting primarily of medicines, food and clothing and other propaganda work to publicize the events in España.Esta facet resulted in a heavy schedule of meetings and conferences around the country and the development of propaganda work escrita.El Street became increasingly evident paying off to find that their calls were turned into massive across the country and their presence in the press and radio stations became increasingly frecuente.En public events regarding the most massive held in Havana on the grounds that had then brewers "Tropical" and "Polar" at that time the most important of the country.In September 1937 held a public ceremony in the stadium "The Polar" which included the presence of at least sixty thousand personas.Ese same month in the park Hatuey (today Maceo) was held commemorating the sixth anniversary of the English republic counting this with no less than twenty thousand asistentes.En 1938 there were three acts again crowded into the stadium of "Polar" and they all present was masiva.El last act of this kind took place in December 1938.En these acts was attended by top level speakers from both the political and intellectual level with the participation of no less important artists of the time attending to these appointments so we can highlight voluntaria.Entre the first of the English Fernando rivers or Juan Marinello by Cuban artists and between Rita Montaner and Esther Borjas and others.
These public events are multiplied throughout the país.Hay be noted that These initiatives fall within the law since its organizers always operated under the umbrella of legal organizations but in all cases the presence of party members "underground" were present and staged many of estos.Esto usually resulted in two situations, a party to these calls turn into acts of reaffirmation of the Left parties and one that in most cases the police and repressive forces carried out a tight control of these events where often involved with some excuse.
masivas.El Donations made sugar and snuff were two essential products for the English race and were just donation from Cuba as the most substantial character of virtually "monoculture" of these organizations produciones.Las poured sugar and tobacco, which soon led to the local Association Virtues street is too small, passing since then collect food at the Embassy of the donation España.Quizá best known for its amount was carried out by the Confederation of Workers of the sugar industry of Las Villas in January 1939, which contributed no less than twenty thousand bags of sugar of 385 pounds each one, a colossal amount certainly have been achieved with the contribution of workers azucareros.Poco in August 1938 before the Association Child Help National English "starred in a shipment of five tonnes of milk polvo.No only organizations provided material assistance to the Republic because from workplaces and groups of various kinds is created a flow of contributions remained throughout the guerra.De any way is fair to the individual role of the working class and the supporters of the Republic in general those with modest contributions kept alive this spirit of solidarity, all consignments are always channeled through the National Association English Village Aid "which coordinated with the English embassy transport and arrival in Republican Spain.
Together consignments of foodstuffs, we must emphasize that made a considerable contribution in clothing and medicines, and finally a rather significant financial contribution from the proceeds in charity events such as the "single plate" or buying "credits" issued in favor of the "Republic." famous collections were made public were carried out by the traditional system of currency and coin collection boxes that had to face difficulties for this task provided the Cuban authorities banned bound collections Spain.
