FOR THE NEXT WAR By Fred Ellis The Fight to Detend The Daily Worker Is a Fight Against the War Danger “Some of our comrades assume that the danger of war is not immediate, that we have still sufficient time to awaken and mobilize the masses, .. That is a.great.mistake which may have. serious consequences. For the latest events show with all clarity that the danger of war is increasing and that it as great as it was on the evening of the 4th of. August, 1914. Just as in the period which preceded the great imperialist slaughter, all the imperialist states are arming feverishly. Almost everywhere incidents are taking place reminiscent of Agadir and Sarajevo. The clouds of war are gathering over the Pacific. Big guns have already sounded in China.” Secretary, Communist Party of France. PIERRE SEMARD In the fight against the growing war danger, the greatest single task at this time in America, is the defense of The DAILY WORKER, the most militant voice of the workers against the preparations for a new world slaughter. Only with the help of our DAILY WORK- ER can we effectively awaken the workers of this country to the real seriousness of the danger confronting them. Only through the columns of our paper can the workers be made to see that they are confronting a new August 4. There can be no doubt that our paper is now under attack from no less a source than the United States government, simply because we are the only paper which is waging a relentless struggle against the attempt to drag us again into the shambles of a capitalist war. If you want us to continue this fight, if you want. the fight against a new World War to be success- ful, then you must help by circulating widely the GUARD THE DAILY WORKER FUND Cer- tificates.

On the rv hand the rumors of peace negotiations with Chang Tso- lin and the concentration of Nanking troops against Wuhan is understodd in certain quarters as a demonstration against General Feng Yu-hsing with whom relations are considered “not quite normal.” It is believed that these measures are undertaken to force the uncondi- tional surrender of the Wuhan gov- ernment.

Obelski ‘of Roulette, Pa., and of Chas. Sidney Garrison of Asheville, N. C., American marines killed in battle with Nicaraguan lib- eral forces in Ocotal, Nicaragua. The Coolidge administration is also re- sponsible for the crimiral slaughter of three hundred Nicaraguan troops by machine gun and cannon fire and by bombing from five aeroplanes of the American navy. President Coolidge and the State Department, in cynical violation of the Constitution of our country which vests the war-making power in Con- gress, opened war on the Nicaraguan people last December and sent 1,500 marines to overrun that little coun- try.

Now, after failing during almost seven months to force the will of Wall Street on that un- happy country, the Coolidge admin- istration has brought this crowning disgrace upon our country by having our marines begin open warfare and slaughter 300 Nicaraguans by drop- ping bombs from airplanes and by machine gun fire. Can the infamy of the Coolidge administration sink any lower? Can the army and Navy of the United States be put to any more degrading use than this of forc- ing the will of Wall Strect bankers on this tiny country no bigger in population than one second rate American city?
