Young Commu Capitalism’s Second “1914” In order to connect the struggles of the American workers in the unemployment crisis with the demonstrations of the workers of all other countries, the Communist Party of the United States has changed | the date for the demonstrations in this country from February 24, the date announced yesterday, to February 26, which is the date selected for the big unemployment demonstrations throughout the capitalist world. There is no small significance in the selection of the same date for the workers of all countries to make their voices heard and to demonstrate their determination for action. History has travelled far since the struggles of the working class in one country could be eon- sidered more or less separate matters. On last August First, under the leadership of the Communist International, millions of workers in all countries simultangously demonstrated against the coming imper- lalist war. That was necessarily a world-wide demonstration. reasonable to expect that from now on every major demonstration of the workers will be international and simultaneous for all countries. d-wide arid overlaps the horderlines of all Members, of the | League. \Funeral Giant Protest AM UNION 80, _FORESEEN IN ECONOMIC CRISIS “Mog pee Gal EYPOSE GERMAN ~SSHAKING ALL CAPITALIST LANDS FASCIST PLOTS U.S., Germany, Bitain, doland, Hungary, Unemployed Millions Must Act Pap xf?
