To the revolution of the colonial peoples who ave demanding the right of self- determination, they are replying with war. In spite of the antagonistic inter- ests dividing them, the imperialist states gre endeavouring to weld their united” front against the danger threatening them all—the rise of the colonial peoples. They are striving to throttle the Chinese their warships encircle China with an fron ring, they are standing ready in the rivers of China to drown the struggle for freedom of the Chinese people in blood. Nanking and other defenceless towns have already been bombarded; everyday the ring of militarist intervention is closed more tightly in order .to throttle the Chi- nese revolution with armed force or by means of the policy of corruption, NOW Your bundle of the Special th Of July Number of the DAILY WORKER o This Special Number of The DAILY WORKER will be deyoted chiefly to Great Brit- ain and its role in the pres- ent world situation.

The bill against the trade unions in Great Britain, the great police conspiracy and the arrest of Communist func- tionaries in France, the review of the fascist forees in Germany, the mass deportations and he fascist trade union monopoly in Italy, the mtensi- | fied terror and the mass executions {of revolutionaries in Poland, Rou- jmania, Bulgaria and Lithoania are jall part of the war preparations of the imperialists. At the moment when world tm- perialism is drawing together its for- (ees against the working class, when it is increasing the exploitation of #) ; peasant masses and of the natives ‘in the colonies and openly preparing | for a new war, the leaders of the so- cial democracy are again, as on 4th of August 1914, betraying the inter- ests of the working class and placing | themselves in the service of imperial- ism and of armed reaction, In Great Britain, instead of summoning, the masses fo the fight in defence of the trade unions, they content themselves 50c to the District’ Office which is tantatount to a surrender without a if cialist Paul In France, our, has drawn up, with futile Parliamentary skirmishes, | the So-| The along with the General Staff, a mili-| tary law and is defending it—a law which provides for the mobilization of women and children. In Germany, Breitscheid declared that the Foreign policy of Stresemann is the policy of the German social democracy. | T the moment when Chamberlain is | bringing about the united front of | all the capitalist States against pro- letarian Russia, the Second Interna- | tional is supporting the action of the | reactionary English government with | a shameful campaign of lies against | |the Soviet Union. As in 1914, the| ‘ole of social democracy consists in| riving the working class into war.) But today this treachery is even more} reprehensible, because the war is | | directed against the proletarian State, against the Russian revolution and | against the Chinese Revolution. Comrades, For work among the masses there exists a still greater danger than the open, cynical treachery of the Right social democratic leaders, and that is of the Left leaders of social demo- utter high-sounding empty phrases} regarding peace and who, instead of | mobilizing the working masses to the fight against war, lull them to sleep by doping them with the opium of | sentimental and futile pacifism. * * * THE capitalist regime necessarily engenders war. Under the capi- talist regime there can be no endur- ing peace. Your fight for peace, for critical peace as that of Versailles, can, therefore, only be a fight against that regime. which produces wars and perpetuates, i.e. a revolutionary fight against the capitalist regime itself. The fight for peace which does not} lead the masses to the revolutionary fight against the capitalist regime ‘is merely a deceitful illusion only to be followed by a bloody morrow. » Workers, Peasants, Suppressed Peoples! In view of the daily increasing | danger of war you must unite your forces for bitter and ruthless fight against war and against robbers who are preparing for war. You are the strongest, and you will be victorious if you close the united front of all the suppressed against your suppressors. Rub the sleep from your eyes, over- come faint-heartedness, oppose those who are spreading pessimism in your organizations and undermining your forces! War is at hand! Only by a mass action, by great protest meet- ings, by powerful demonstrations, by protest strikes, by developing an ener- getic mass struggle will you frustrate the capitalist offensive and compel the jackals of imperialism to slink away. * . * EFEND the Chinese Revolution, prevent the transport of troops and munitions! Build up out of your million-strong army an impregnable barricade in defence of the threatened Russian Revolution! 5 The imperialists are preparing for war in order to strangle the revolu- tion! Reply to them by preparing for revolution in order to strangle war and the regime which continually leads to war. 4 RECOMMEND DISMISSAL OF Central adopted a Committee and | Commi | Comrade the Central I ty discipline, | when | “discrepancy of the scisso MOSCOW, Charging Opposition, Trotsky and Zinov x Communist |Party ipline, the Pr idium of the Commission of the Communist Party has resolution recommending nt session of the Central the Central Control consider the expulsion of xtsky and Zinoviev from cutive Committee of Control All Union that the “Beginning with 1923, the Opposi tion first headed by Trotsky and from 1926 by both Trotsky and Zinoviev, {has taken advantage of every diffi- jeulty which the Pg jeffort to build y has faced in its Socialism to deal a ; blow at the unity of our Party and its | leadership.
