In this way, war is being prenared every day and not for the distant future. | Prof. Burns brought out a very | significant point. He said that all capitalist statesmen, when not talk- | ing for publication, will admit the | vapid war preparations. Of course, | in their public declarations they ooze with pacifist phrases. Hoover is a good example of this pacifist bunk to cover the hugest war prep- | arations ever before made by any imperialist power.

Now they are learning how to attack a | demonstration. This course in mili- tary tactics is logically given to the men from the Chicago armories. The bosses are becoming afraid that their police and thugs will be un- able to handle the rising militancy | of the workers, But our bosses are not forgetting their own war preparations, not ty | a long shot. The “boys” are trained {to live on a soldier’s diet, i.e, prac- tically nothing. But most of all they are learning attack and defense of fortified cities. For this purpose | they are being divided and patt are sent to attack the city of Cherrv Valley. Already we are fast ap- proaching the day when these same soldiers will ve sent to attack not Cherry Valley but a city or town in the Soviet Union, when these sol- diers will be told to shoot their fel- low workers of other cities, These men must not be permitted to fight in the bosses war. These are the same men who day after day are exploited in the factories. These are the same men who week after week have gone from ‘actory to factory looking for work and National Guard in order to get the $1 per drill that the government pays them. But these men must use their training for the workers. We must win them into the Unem- | ployed Councils and the T.U.ULL, | We must win them into the Com- munist Party and Young Comm nist League. We must organize | these workers so that they will use their training not to attack strikes and demonstrations but to defend them. Not to attack the Soviet Union | but to defend the only workers’ and | | farmers’ government. BURN CLAMS THAT RICH MAY BATHE. LONG BEACH, N.

The | newspaper Trood, today publishes a letter from Jon Ballam, an Amer- ican Communist now in Moscow, calling on “all workers of the tractor plant, together with Amer- ican workers, to repudiate the ac- tion of the participants in the at- | tack on a Negro comrade.” Another American Communist here, J. W. Ford, Negro, made a speech at a protest meeting held last night at the Moscow electric factory, excoriating the attack and the “reactionary capitalist. educa- tion, which sets race against race, color against color.” The meeting condemned “this | survival of capitalist reaction,” and |called on the rest of the American workers at Stalingrad to “condemn \the misdeed of a backward group of their confreres.” (CONFER TO MOBILIZE | FOR SOVIET DEFENSE Mobilization of New York work- ers against an attack by the imper- ialist powers on the Soviet Union | will take place Thursday, Septem- | ber 4, in the form of a conference, | Harriet Silverman, secretary of the |New York district, Friends of the Soviet Union, announced last night. The Anti-War conference, she added, will mobilize the workers in opposition to the Fish Committee and other forces in this country that are preparing for an assault on the Soviet Union. All working class | organizations—trade and industrial unions, workers clubs, fraternal or- ganizations, Negro organizations and sports clubs should elect dele- gates. A call is being sent out to the organizations this week stating the place the conference will be | held.
