Pacifism which serves to cloak the danger of war and the military prep- @rations of the capitalists, supple- ments the nationalist methods of the fascists in order to lull the future vic- | tims of the coming imperialist war. | The Geneva Disarmament Confer- @mee, which served to screen the in- ereased preparations for war and the Military alliances of the imperialist powers, has become the scene of open preparations for war. France and fascist Germany defend with the same arguments and with the same zeal their right to arm for new imperialist wars. ‘The parties of the Second Interna- tional, which is now breaking up, and the leaders of the reformist Amster- dam Trade Union International, have already taken their places in the war, front of their own imperialists.

Today the parties of the Second International are held together solely by their joint hatred of the prole- tarian revolution, of the revolution- ary class struggle under the banner | of the Communist International and | all its actions, of socialism and its| home, the Soviet Union, and by their | joint efforts to overcome the impe- rialist contradictions in a war of in-| tervention against the Fatherland of | the international proletariat. This is the reason for the fierce campaign of incitement conductd by | all the parties of the Second Inter- national against the Soviet Union in connection with the prolongation of | the Berlin Agreement between Ger- many and the Soviet Union. This is| the reason for the proposal of the so- | cial democratic parties of the coun- | tries of the French bloc that the| Soviet Union should join a fighting alliance of the democratic defenders of the Versailles robber system against the fascist countries. In place of the | earlier slanders about red imperialism comes the criminal provocative in- citement—why doesn’t the Red Army) march against fascist Germany? | The Second International conducts a campaign of incitement against the independent proletariat class policy of | the Soviet Union which refuses to | permit the power of the emancipated | proletariat to be exploited by an im- perialist Power. The Second Interna- | tional conducts a campaign of in- citement against the peace policy of the Soviet Union which is opposed | to all imperialist war-mongering and which is just as little inclined to sup- port a new war for the re-division of the world as it is to support the de- | fenders of the Versailles robber sys- | tem. Must Unite Oppressed in Fighting Front The revolutionary proletariat of all countries conducts a struggle against | the preparations for imperialist war and military intervention whether this is carried on under fascist or democratic slogans, under nationalist or pacifist slogans. The revolutionary | proletariat of all countries stand side | by side with the working masses of | the Soviet Union. | The workers, young workers, the| poor peasant masses and all toilers, all honest opponents of war, all those who want no new imperialist war, no new mass murder, must fight shoulder to shoulder with the millions | of the socialist State for the destruc-|dead secret of Roosevelt-and the|the workers’ fatherland would be) tion of the basic causes of war,| against capitalism and for the trans- | formation of the imperialist war into | a civil war, for the proletarian dicta- | torship and for the victory of social- | ism. | to prevent the imperialist war, the | military intervention against the So- | viet Union, the robber partitioning of | China, the bloody destruction of the Chinese Soviets and the continuation | of the slaughter in Latin-America, | fight under the banner of proletarian | internationalism against your own} capitalists, against your own govern- | | ments, against fascism and imperial- | ist reaction, against nationalist and | chauvinist incitement, agaist militar- ism and the militarization of the! youth, and against hypocritical paci- | fism. | Make Aug. 1 a Day of Struggle Fight for the prevention of the transport of war materials to the bel- ligerent imperialist countries and above all against the transport of war material to Japan!

Smith, a leader of the Democratic Party, telling of -the secret and rapid preparations by Wall Street for a new war in the Pacific, “Iam authoritatively —in- formed,” says Sommers who was a correspondent in the Far East for a number of years, “that when former Premier Edouard Herriot, of France, and Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald, of Great Britain, called at the White House to discuss debts recently, one of the things the President asked | them both was what the course of France and England would be in the event of an American-Japan- ese war. “This phase of the conferences was not revealed at the time, but, as a subject most vital to this country, it was discussed at length and in secret at the White House.” While Roosevelt was telling the workers he was discussing the ques- tion of economic agreements, he was seeking war alliances. Certainly the subject of war| against the Soviet Union, and the relation of the U. S. S. R. to the| planned war of American imperial- ism came up, but what the discus- sions or decisions were on it are the other government leaders. Second To None Thinking of this war in the Pa- cific, Roosevelt began immediately to spend hundreds of millions for Proletarian Workers, you who want | the navy. Secretary of the Navy | Swanson declared that the United States would build a navy “‘sec- ond to none,” capable of “giving a} terrific pounding.” Not at all behind times, the Jap- anese butchers proceeded to rapid war preparations. . As part of these war preparations in the Pacific, the Roosevelt govern- ment lent $50,000,000 to the Chiang Kai Shek government. The first use of this money is to carry out the sixth anti-Communist drive in China against the Soviet districts in order to make it easier for the imperial- ists to use China as their battle- ground without the repercussion of a revolutionary uprising of the Chi- nese and Japanese toiling masses. In the United States, all the capi- SPEND MILLIONS FOR WAR WITH “PEACE” CRY ERE grips millions of American workers, as the slave codes go into effect, as food costs rise, and | as pnemployment relief is slashed. But the Roose- velt government flings hundreds of millions to the ammunition makers, to the war slaughter-machine manufacturers, to the rich bankers who fatten on war. Roosevelt is preparing a new blood bath for the tions! workers. On all fronts he is feverishly preparing for Wall Street’s new world war. | | | | | | \ - Rally the Masses for August Ist HE workers’ answer must by a mighty mobiliza- tion of the toiling masses azainst war—mighty demonstrations from coast to ceast on August Ist, international anti-war day.

Use $500,0000,000 to PayAmmunition Mak- ers; Rob Jobless WASHINGTON, July 14—War’ preparations and not jobs for the, workers, the reai aim of the public works program, is emphasized today by the publication of figures of actual) sums to be expended out of the $3,- 300,000,000 fund. The first announcement of the De- partment of the Interior on sums to be expended for public works says that only $65,000,000 will be expended in this way among 48 states, outside of military expenditures. How small the number of workers this sum will employ can be seen by ‘Wall St. Provokes War of Japan Against U.S.S.R. to Gain Advantages in Pacific a.comparison to the British figures, given. out by Neville Chamberlin, British treasurer, on the number of workers employed in similar construc- tion.

Under the slogan of “peace,” they urge the rapid building of the navy, air forces and army. Roosevelt’s economic program is closely linked up with his war pro- gram and the secret conferences for war. Not only in the Pacific, but in Latin America and in Europe, Wall Street is pushing its drive for markets. New oil will be thrown on the fires of war in Latin America by the conflict of Great Britain and the United States for the Latin American markets.

AMERICA Tries to Undermine British Influence in Argentina PARLEY ENDS JULY 27 War Signals Cause Alarm As Conference Dies LONDON, July 14—The effore to keep up the appearance of some form of life, however feeble, in the World Economic Conference has been aban- doned. The few sub-committees that are holding short sessions each day are as dead-as the conference itself. The formal adjustment of the thing is to take place July 27. That was definitely decided by the steering committee today and the commissions that were asked to finish their “work” by next Friday. The conference bu- reau will then meet the following Tuesday to review the results and a plenary session will be held two days after that. No date for reconvening the con- ference has been set. Some proposals were made for September, others for Noyember. Finally it was decided in the steering committee that no agree- ment on a date to resume the sessions could be set. It is realized also that the aggressiveness of American im- perialism, especially the latest moves to mobilize support in Latin America against the pélicy of Britain and France is likely to reach such pro- portions in the next days that it would be ridiculous even to pretend that another world conference would result in other than a deadlock from the first. Lining Up Latin-Americans The United States delegates here are actively supplementing the work begun at Washington yesterday in trying to reach bilateral trade agree- ments with the countries of Latin- America. Secretary of State Hull, head of the American delegation; Herbert Feis, economic advisor to the State Department, and William C. Bullitt, special assistant secretary of state, have conferred with Thomas LeBretin, head of the Argentine dele- gation, and arrangements have been completed for conversations between the two countries at Washington, im- mediately upon the official close of the Londo conference. ‘The delegation has also made ar- rangements for conversations with other Latin-American delegations and plans are being forwarded for the Pan-American conference next winter at Montevideo, Uruguay, where United States imperialism hopes to further consolidate support for its policies in Latin-America. Strives to Weaken Britain The American delegation is mak- ing special efforts to obtain some sort of secret agreement with Argen- tinia that will weaken the position of Britain, Attempts are being made to induce Argentinia to cancel the recently signed trade agreement with Britain which contained preferential | tariff provisions that are detrimental to American export trade. This intensified rivalry between Britain and the Uniled States, re- flected as in a mirror at the economic conference, is the beginning of a more aggravated form of world trade and traiff wars that are part of the ac- cumulating material signalizing @ violent, thet is to say, a warlike, at- tempt at solution of the crisis. This openly admitted by increasing ers of public persons and news- pap in Europe, who express grave concern at the rapid developments in that direction. ¥ EATH DECREED FOR ANTI-NAZIS High Penalties Back Work-Slavery Law BERLIN, July 14—Pezalties up to sentence of death are to b» imposed by special courts on all who disobey or agitate against the economic de- crees of the Nazi government, accord- ing to a decree issued by Dr. Hans Frank, Prussian Minister of Justice. ‘This is the third legal step by which absolute slavery is impesed on the whole German working class. The first step was a decree two days ago taking all rights away from the Nazi trade unions, the only surviving legal workers’ organizations, and giving supreme authority over wages and conditions of work to a Council of ‘Trustess of Labor, composed entirely ef employers. n The second ‘step, yesterday, ordered the police to act as industrial spies, and to smash all protesis by workers, Now a series of severe penalties, in special courts including long terms in pr’son, confiscation of all property, and in “special circumstances” the death pensliy, completed the job of legal enslavement. At the seme time Adolf Hitler, in a speech to the Nezi- district lesders end trustees of labo, declared that no restrictions must be put on the “private enterprise” of capitalists, and that the rule of business must be “Jet the best man win.” Mazi commiss2rs installed in many business cone2zhs in Germany are be- ing removed, The Hificr clavery de-| 2 Glroeizd egainst those So who had attempted some ef his anti-capital- unde: pressure from the c £ ef his fo to carry ovt ist promises workers. and other mercantile ficlds are or- dered to join a special union, with steps to capture the Latin-American | other trade unions are to carry out vmarkets, ‘ the same step.
