The so-called disarmament conference staged by the League of Nations has acted exactly as the commun- ists, and only the communists, prophesied. The really seri- ous disarmament proposals put forward by the Soviet Union were rejected. Instead of disarming or reducing their arm- aments all capitalist countries are feverishly improving their armaments and the final preparations for a new imperialist world slaughter are being made. In all capitalist countries the deadly enemies of the work- ing class are joining hands in a reactionary united front against the working class. Germany is faced with the im- mediate establishment of a fascist dictatorship. In the gov- ernment of rich industrialists, agrarian Junkers and Gener- als appointed by Field Marshal von Hindenburg, the presi- dential candidate of the social democracy, are the represent- atives of the extremist reaction. With the assistance of the German fascists they are utilizing the chauvinist and na- tionalist incitement of broad masses in order to prepare a new imperialist war as quic ssible as the salvation of the German bourgeoisie from the throttling embrace of the economic crisis. An accompaniment of this political and military preparation for German participation in a war of intervention is the intensification of the reckless campaign of incitement against the Soviet Union. Second International An Imperialist Al'v The leaders of the Second (Labor and Socialist) Interna- tional and of the Amsterdam (International Federation of Trade Unions) International are in the front ranks of the campaign of incitement and slander being conducted against the Soviet Union and against the revolutionary working class of all countries. The hy itical appeal of the Second In- ternationa: in which a quantity of high-sounding phrases are used against war and intervention, represents in reality nothing but an attempt on the part of Vandervelde, Blum, Adler, Henderson, Wells and their friends to m their part in the preparations for war against thé Soviet Union. It is not possible to fight against imperialist war whilst at the same time voting the imperialists the means for in- creasing their armaments! It is not possible to conduct a struggle against the transport of arms and ammunition to Japan for the use of Japanese imperialism, whilst at the same ti ing that “any stoppage of the production of war materials would inevitably intensify the problem of un- employment” (Smethurst in the organ of the British A.E.U.) and holding the workers back from the struggle against im- perialist war by putting forward the slogan, “War brings work!” It is not possible to defend the Soviet Union whilst at the :ame time declaring that “the Soviet Union is an im- perialist power exactly as China and Japan are imperialist powers.” (The “Vorwaerts,” the central organ of the Ger- man Social Democratic Party on the 10th February 1932.) This truth must be recognized in the given situation of acute war and intervention danger, and above all the social democratic workers must recognize it. 2 decl Revolutienary Action Needed! The struggle against imperialist war cannot be con- ducted with paper resolutions and solemn but hypocritical declarations in favor of peace. It can only be fought by the revolutionary action of the working class in alliance with the nationally oppressed peoples of the whole earth. The strike of the Polish dockers in Gdingia, the strike of the Chinese sailors in Rotterdam and Hamburg, the strike of the chemical workers in Central Germany, the strike of the dackers in Dunkirk, the strike of the German seamen, the ravolts of the French soldiers, the mutiny in the English nuvy, the desperate resistance offered by the Chinese work- ers and soldiers in Shanghai against the Japanese troops of imtervention and the mutinies m the Japanese army are all tle signs of a beginning active struggle against imperialist world war. A victorious struggle against war and for the defense of the Soviet Union categorically demands a revolutionary uni- ted front of the working masses. The undersigned Commun- ist Parties appeal to the working masses of all capitalist, colonial and semi-colonial countries to form this revolution- ary united front in defiance of all hindrances. They appeal in particular to the social democratic workers to take part in a joint struggle against war and for the defense of the Soviet Union. They call to the social democratic workers: United Front on August First! Class comrades! Toilers in city and country! When you defend the Soviet Union against the imperial- ist robbers and against their fascist mercenaries you are de- fending your own yital interests and fighting most effect- ively against imperialist war. ‘ The First of August, the International Day Against War, must be conducted in the spirit of a victorious revolutionary united front of all the exploiters and oppressed in a joint struggle against fascism and reaction, in a joint struggle against imperialist war and in defense of the Soviet Union! You must unite in all factories, in every trade union, at every labor exchange, in all the urban working class quarters, in all the villages in a revolutionary mass struggle. Against the capitalist offensive, against strike-breaking and against the attempts to rob you of the right to organize; Against fascism and against those who have paved the way for fascism, the social democratic and reformist leaders ; Against the imperialist warmongers; In favor of the vital interests of the working masses; for the social and national emancipation of all oppressed peoples, and in defense of the Soviet Union! Intensify the mass struggle against the production of war materials, and against the transport of arms and ammuni- tion! Form the revolutionary united front against hunger and impoverishment, against fascism and war! Fight for the victory of Sociatism! (Sig.)

Yesterday some very old clothes and shoes, practi- cally none useable, were distributed. One pregnant woman was weeping | because her two-year-old baby was lying on a bare cot, unwashed and without clean clothes. Another wo- man, obviously unhinged by the hor- ror she had gone through, was being led to an ambulance. Tammany poli- ticians strolled through the crowd and blandly told the sufferers that they would be “taken care of”, Here, too, the workers were stunned but bitter. One said that a leader of the Tammany crowd had told him that |they were doing the relief work in order to obtain the votes of the workers and to “keep them away fro mthe Reds”. Another commented bitterly on the fact that in this graft ridden city with so many millions to squander, the relief work was left to individuals and to publicity seek- ing organizations. Others told of standing outside tlfe 23d St. Synagogue and begging to be admitted for the night, but the syn- agogue officials kept it closed and the workers were left to wander aronnd the streets for the rest of the night. Workers Help. However, workers’ organizations were also in the field. Led by the Women’s Councils, the Workers’ Club and the Icor—the Workers’ Center, 2709 Mermaid Ave,, was opened, bed- ding procured and the homeless workers weae invited to ccgne there to sleep. All night devoted members of these organizations walked up and down the beaches and around the streets, telling the workers of the ‘new relief station. By morning some 75 families were there and another 75 families had been placed with in- dividual families in the neighbor- hood and in Brooklyn. The workers’ organizations collected food and clothing and began the tea of feed- ing and clothing the victims. Five open-air meetings, were held yesterday and the workers paraded through Coney Island carrying a huge banher bearing this inscription: “Fire Victims Are Welcome at the Workers Center, 2709 Mermaid Ave. Food and Shelter.” The police at- tempted to break up these meetings and made a half-hearted attempt to take away the banner carried by the workers but desisted when met by the firm resistance of the workers, A worker's committee, consisting of Viadimir, Shapiro and Hecht, visited the police station and asked that they be given cots for the homeless workers. Officer stanley, in charge of relief, supported by the Tammany politicians, refused the demand of the committee and told them to go to the Pythian Hall. Today the workers’ organizations are planning to hold many more open air meetings and soon a mass demonstration will be held, demand- ing immediate relief from the city. If necessary the workers will march to the City Hall, they warn.

J., July 14—In spite of the sweltering heat, nearly 800 workers, 150 of them Negroes, crowd- ed Kantor's Hall to hear James W. Ford, Communist candidate for vice- president. This was the largest po- litical rally of any party in Passaic this year. A large number of cars filled with workers, and bearing Communist election posters, came to meet Ford at the railroad station. Recognizing their candidate they burst into cheers and carried him on their shoulders to one of the waiting automobiles. For half an hour the cars drove through the main streets of the city before the opening of the meeting, Here Ford was greeted by an enthusiastic ovation of the as- sembled workers, Extensive Preparations. Passaic and Bergen counties were flooded with thousands of leaflets, throwaways and posters, announcing the Ford rally. Trucks carrying Com- munist election slogans through the streets, short open air meetings, fac- tory gate rallies and house to house canvassing, especially in Negro neighborhoods, marked the prepara- tions for the Ford meeting. Deseribe Conditions, ‘The workers in Passaic and Ber- gen counties are experiencing the full force of the crisis. Unemployed workers, and even those employed part time are losing their homes. Hundreds of workers’ homes were re- cently taken away in Garfield, and 400 homes are to be sold for taxes in Wallington, At the meeting, Bill Se- roka, candidate for freeholder in Bergen County, told of a mounting wave of suicides among the workers here, He read from the latest issue of one of the local papers which told of a father of four children who spent his last 15 cents for carbolic cid in order to put an end to his misery, because he couldn't stand to see his children starve. The city, state and federal governments are responsible, he said, for this out- right murder. Fake Promises. In Passaic, Johnson, head of the Botany mills, recently said he would hire from 1200 to 1500 workers. But not even 200 were hired.
