As a result of the neglect by the parties many women are war haters, joining bourgeois pacifist anti-war organizations. The Com- munist Parties must pay more at- tention to women’s work, particu- larly as many women are engaged in war industries. Anti-war pro- paganda is the best way of winning the women. Twenty-second Session, The twenty-second session opened on the afternoon of the fourth of August under the chairmanship of Kilboom. The speakers were Ramirez, of South America; Gonzales, of South America; Paris of Germany; Dunne. of the United States; Franchon, of France; Hakon, of Czecho-Slovakia; Strachov, of China; Bittlemann, of the United States; Miskievitch- Kapsukas, of Lithuania; Nicolau, of Greece; Haidar, of Palestine; Li- juang, of China; Wolfe, of the United States; Dombal, of the Com- munist fraction of the Peasant In- ternational; Hermansen, of Norway, | and Ilinin, of Indoesia. Ramirez declared that the United States is forcing Great Britain out of Latin-America. Many of the countries are dependent politically and economically on the United States. The Panama Canal*plays a great role in the war danger, Gonzales stated that the Anglo- American struggle for dominance in Latin-America is intensifying. The national bourgeoisies are working with the imperialists. The Pan- American Federation of Labor is supporting the imperialists. F; Dunne’s Speech. Dunne declared that the resist- ance of the working masses against The DAILY WORKER is the only paper which really fights against the war danger. The DAILY WORKER is the only paper which shows how to end the two chief marks of capitalist civilization, poverty and war. y When you pass out a DAILY WORKER you are firing a gun in the great battle of the working class.

The chief task of the Communist Parties must be to mobilize the masses against war. With the correct policy, the Ameri- can Party will succeed in bringing the masses into action. “The policy of the Central Committee of the American Party in the Nicaraguan war has been false,” the speaker said, “as is shown by the Central | congress, which convenes on Sep- Committee's appeal.
