The call for the anti-war congress declares that the “National Recovery | Act, has become the vehicle for | launching the building of a vastly larger navy along the lines demanded by the big navy jingos.

F.ofL.: fo all members of the Progressive Miners Union and other inde- pendent unions: The American Committee for ggle Against War has issued a call for a National Congress to set d front of every organiza- very individual, seriously op- posed to war. This Congress is the come of an appeal issued some y Sherwood Anderson, Theodore Dreiser and Upton Sin- lair. The call signed by fifty national organizations, in- de unions, unemployed or- student organizations intellectua. pacifist ‘oups, youth organizat etc. The signers also include the Communist Party of the U. S. A. and the Socialist Party of America The Communist Party gave its sup- port to the proposed Congress from the beginning. Participation of the Socialist y in the call for the Anti-War Congress marks an apparent depart- ure from the settled policy of that which has been rigidly | opposed to any united front, except that which was directed against the revolutionary workers led by the Communist Party. What is the reason for their change of tactic in this case? There is not the slight- est doubt that this change has not been brought about by a changed at- titude of the Socialist leaders, Hill- quit, Thomas and others. Rather it has been forced by the fact that the appeal of the Communist Party to the Socialist workers for a united struggle against the capitalist at-| tacks has roused a deep ferment in the Socialist ranks. A large part of the Socialist workers are in rebellion} against the sabotage practiced by their leaders against the united front. The demand for united action has been growing so swiftly that these leaders already see the danger of| losing their followers. They have) been forced to make some conces-| sion to this spirit of unity. They] started to try out a new merci in connection with Congress. If we wish to form a true estimate | of how sincere are Hillquit andj Thomas in this move, we must re- ine Anti-War! re- } member a few more facts of very re- cent history. We must remember the unemployed convention in Chi- cago in May. a convention which was calied by Socialist Party leaders but which was split by them when they found themselves in a minor-| ity, facing a majority which was de- termined upon a real unification which would include the fighting | National Unemployed Councils. We must remember the Pennsylvania un- employed convention, called to set up a state-wide federation of all un- which was also split by the Socialist-led minor- ity because the majority refused to exclude the Unemployed Councils. We must remember that the same| | meeting of the S. P. National Com- mittee held in Reading, Pa., which decided to enter the Anti-War Con- gress, at the same moment decided to give unconditional support to the| leadership of the American Federa- tion of Labor, which in its turn gives unconditio support to the mili-| tarist and jingoist platform of the Roosevelt, administration. The Socialist Party approached the Organizing Committee of the Con-| gress, laying down, as conditions for its participation, the inclusion of eleven of its members and friends on the Arrangements Committee. It was the representative of the Com- munist Party, Comrade Robert Minor, which was adopted to accept the eleven nomina- tions of the Socialist Party. Com-| rade Minor correctly declared that| the Communists have no interests in| limiting the Congress or its prepara-| tory committees and no desire to establish any organizational control In the Arrangements Committee neither can there be any question| raised which predetermines the de- | cisions of the projected Congress. The calling of the Congress is not| yet the estmblishment of a united} front. It is only one step in that Japanese War Is on Masses to Rall; y Against War on Aug. Congress Against War direction. ‘The Congress itself, by the program which it will adopt, must furnish the real foundation of the united fronf in the struggle against imperialist war. | The Organizing Committee for the| Anti-War Congress very wisely| adopted, from the beginning, the pol-| icy that all participating organiza- tions preserve the complete right to agitate and propagandize their own special views on the question of war, and to attempt to win the Congress to their particular proposals. This right, of course, includes that of mu- tual criticism. It is clear that the result of the preparations of the Con- gress and of its deliberations must, if the Congress is to be successful, result in the consolidation of the Congress delegates, or at least the large majority, around an agreed minimum program of action. The Communists will propose and | fight for the adoption of such a minimum program. program will necessarily be along the line of the Manifesto adopted by the International Congress Against War held in Amsterdam last year, with the participation of large delegations! * of Communist, Socialist and non- party workers and intellectuals from} the principal countries of Europe and America. Such a minimum pro- gram is one upon which every hon- est opponent of imperialist war can unite for action. If and when the Anti-War Con- gress now in preparation adopts such| | a minimum program of struggle against war, the Communist Party| declares its readiness to enter into) such a united front of struggle for| this program. The Communists will| loyally fight for this program, to-| gether with every organization and| every individual who sincerely and/ honestly performs his part in such a) fight. The Communist Party is even | prepared to suspend its criticism of | other organizations in the united} front during the execution of the| united actions, provided that the| agreed upon measures of struggle are carried through unhesitatingly and loyally to the end. It reserves the right at all times to expose and de- nounce every breach of agreement, | every sabotage or betrayal of the struggle. { At the same time, the Communist Party will continue its fundamental | tionary program, leading towards the| overthrow of capitalist rule and the} establishment of a Workers’ Govern- ment as the only final abolition of | imperialist war. It will prepare the| workers for the more difficult tasks to come in the struggle against im- perialist war, the tasks of preparing and carrying through the transforma- } tion of imperialist war into a civil) war of the exploited masses against “To the Executive Committee of the | their oppressors, into a war for the destruction of capitalism and its sys- | tem of exploitation and oppression. | The Communist Party states its| position clearly and unequivocally in| rade: Gussev, lifetime co-worker with | entering into the preparations for the Congress against imperialist war. Our participation in the anti-war | struggle is whole-hearted and un-| compromising. We have no purpose | other than that which we state openly and clearly to the broad masses. Our | purpose coincides with the interests | of the masses of oppressed toilers. | Every sincere and honest opponent of imperialist war can find the basis for 8 united action in the minimum pro- gram for which we fight and for which we will struggle in the com- ing Anti-War Congress. On August Ist the Communist Party calls upon the masses to join in mighty street demonsirations against the new impending imperial- | ist slaughter. These demonstrations are the best immediate means of mass struggle against war, and of Preparations for a real Anti-War Congress. We call upon every worker in the Socialist Party, and especially such workers in New York, Milwaukee and Reading, and the members of the| American Federation of Labor every-| where to join the August Ist demon- | strations! | Forward to the united mass strug- | gle against imperialist war!

If this is a crime against. civil peace, then why is the accusa~ tion not made against us on this point? The answer is quite obvious. We are not accused of violating civil peace for fear of revealing the aims and class character of the Commu- nist Party to the masses. | We are also accused of “calling in the enemy from outside.” What is| the meaning of this accusation?

We must fight to the utmost against these harsh sentences. When Sacco and Vanzetti were sentenced to death in America, the workers, not only of America, but also in Lon- don, Berlin and Paris and all the large centers of the world delivered a@ mass protest against the verdict. We also organized a demonstration of protest in our country, and the accused know it. Now we must once more organize the same sort of dem- onstration and even more powerful ones, to. protest against the sen- tences passed upon our comrades; we must smash the plotting of the class enemy to create a "court pre- cedent.” The prosecutor has de- manded the death sentence for Com- | rade Mitamura because during the! arrest he offered armed resistance. | Comrade Mitamura was carrying out | his Party duty in illegal conditions, and in using his weapons when the enemy fell upon him, he was at the same time defending the Party. This should be estimated as a political act. And only from this point of view can the accusation be levelled against Comrade Mitamura. In certain cir- cumstances it is quite possible and permissible for a Communist to turn to force of arms and shoot at the enemy. And only a degenerate petty bourgeois can assert that a Com- munist in no circumstances should make use of weapons. Kuroda, who intentionally killed Sendzi Yamatoto, @ revolutionary member of parlia- ment, was sentenced to only seven years’ imprisonment. We see here an immeasurable difference in the approach to Kuroda and towards Comrade Mitamura. We protest with all our might against the severe sen- tences of the class court, and demand our immediate and unconditional re- lease. However, you will not be succe: ful in smashing our Party either by harsh sentences, or persecuting its members. True, there have been foun’ within our ranks those who, pele Sort ee of “liquidators,” % ist Leader, Urges World- > i that awaited them, amd turned trait- ors. But they form only an insig- nificant handful, who have already left the arena of class struggle. We are not afraid of heavy sentences. Of. course the revolution demands sacrifices, and death is the greatest secrifice. The whole of the world Tevolutionary movement during: the Jast thirty years clearly shows that the blood of our comrades, who have fallen at the hands. of the, class enemy, has only steeled and strength- ened our Party. Did not the death of Comrade Vatanabe, who fell in Kiilung, Formosa, help to strengthen our Party? Our Chinese and Korean comrades are themselves becoming convinced on their own experience that these sacrifices strengthen the Party. Only in circumstances like this can our Party be the leader of the working class. Our Party is a Party of action. It cannot grow strong on the basis of mere phrases.

S. } | | LONDON, July 16.—The official | seal recognizing the breakdown of | the World Economic and Monetary | conference was placed upon it yes- | terday by the drafting committee. Its report, made public late in the | afternoon, admitted its failure to | reach an agreement “on any vital | subjeck involving international co- | operation.” ‘That committee, which | had been considering commercial po- | licies, was the first to make a report. It is certain that similar reports will | be made by each of the other sub- | committees. The report begins by blaming in- ferentially the stand taken by the United States delegates for the com- | mittee’s inability for failure to reach agreements on anything at all. It | considered two “fundaméntal ques- tions.” First, abolition or reduction | of quantitive restrictions upon im- | ports and progressive restoration of | normal exchanges. Secondly, tariff | policy and the most favored nation | Clause. | The United Siates, in pushing for- ward its trafe war and refusing” to , do anything that would hamper its further beating down of the dollar to gain further trade advantages against its rivals, is held responsible for the debacle. This report shows that Bri- | tain, manouvering in that commis- | sion, was able to line up the mem-~- | bers in behalf of a policy of trying to cover up all the other manifold | antagonisms that were so sharply reflected at the conference. | The delegates, many of whom have | used the conference as a*forum from which to issue new slanders against | the Soviet Union, were forced to rec- ognize the Soviet proposals for im- | mediate cessation of economic war- fare. They got around that issue by proposing it for the agenda if and | when the World Economic Con- | ference resumes. mal Refutes Canadian . Lies About Timber Tells London Delegates Facts About Rising Wages in U.S. 8. R. As Compared to Countries 1 MOSCOW, July 16.—A sharp reply to the slanders of the Canadian delegation about production of Soviet timber was made yesterday at Lon- don in a letter addressed to the chairman of the Second Economic sub- the Soviet delegation. When replying regarding the “cost of production” the Soviet repre- —® sentative pointed out that the sale of Soviet timber was not brought about by unnecessary advertising expenses and the distribution of free shares of stock among share holders. He also showed that the exhorhjtant salaries paid to parasiti¢ officials. of the capitalist timber trusts were un- known in the Soviet Union. The Soviet Reply to Canadians. The text of the letter from the Soviet delegation follows: “When perusing the text of the speech of the Canadian delegate de- livered on July 3rd at the session of the sub-commission dealing with the co-ordination of production and sale, published in the conference bulletin of July 4th, I noted the declaration of the Canadian representative say- ing that Soviet timber is exported and sold without calculating a num- ber of elements of the cost of pro- duction and that workers in the U. S.S.R. must accept labor conditions | and wages fixed by the state ‘on a | level necessary to create the possi- bility of selling products in the for- eign market.’ “It is quite apparent that expenses of production, such as unnecessary advertising, the distribution gratis of shares of stock among share holders, the unproductive expenses in the form of high salaries of directors, etc., are absent in the Soviet Union. “As to the statement of the Ca- nadian delegate regarding labor con- ditions and wages which he claims are imposed upon workers in the lumber industry I must emphasize that the U.S.S.R. is the only coun- Py which has compietely eliminated ‘unemployment which has such a widespread existence in other coun- tries and, many of them, including, regretfully, Canada, unemployment is growing. Workers Driven by , Starvation. “No doubt unemployment is the only means to impose upon workers any conditions, any wages. These miserable conditions prevalent tn all other countries they are forced to accept to evade starvation. The fact that labor conditions in the U. S.S.R. are constantly improving, whereas in other countries, Canada included, they are growing worse and fabor conditions deterioratiig confirms this. “Our country is the only one which, during recent years has considerably raised the living standards of the~ masses, particularly wages (the yearly wage fund in the course of the past four years has grown by 67 per cent, and insurance funds by 292 per cent.) “As to Canadian timber export being in a state of crisis, Soviet com- petition less than anything else can be blamed for this. is this so in the matter of Canadian timber finding no European especially British markets. This is best proved by the fact that while during the recent months Soviet timber exports to England were com- pletely suspended due to the trade embargo. During that time Canada found it impossible to considerably extend its timber export to England.” National Anti-Fascist + Relief Week, Aug. 7--14 | for victims of German Fascism, from | August 7 to 14, was issued today by | the National Committee to Aid Vic- | tims of German Fascism, to which | 34 workers’ organizations, both revo- lutionary and reformist, are affiliated.
