Britain now answers Roosevelt's syowed intention to go right ahe: with his policy of inflation and t most aggressive drive for for markets with the announcement that ghe will in turn go right ahead with the formation of an anti-American financial group. And as the first step in the form- ation of this group, Britain by this latest pact, attempts to make sure of her own Dominions and possessions. It is significant that Canada has signed the pact, since Premier Bennett of Canada, had originally favored Roosevelt’s open inflationary policies. Canada had been in recent months Maneuvering for some trade agree- ments with the United States which would restore some of the trade be- tween the two countries lost as a re- sult of the Ottawa agreements be- pound and tween Canada and Great Britain. | # The announcement of Canada’s par- ticipation her grip on the Canadian markets | against the United States. ‘The Economic Conference, and the fight between the pound and the dol- Jar, was merely the reflection of the British-American battle for markets.

NANKING DEAL Army to Halt British Concession CANTON, China, July 28—The Canton Council today sent an army to prevent the British Arnhold Com- pany from starting operations in the! mines of Kiangsi. The British com-} pany had bought a concession from} the Nanking government. The Canton government, in South China, declared that the mines are already operated by Chinese capital- ists, employing 10,000 workers. This is another struggle of Amer- ican against British imperialists for the exploitation of China. The Nan- king government favors British capi- tal, while the Canton government is supported by American financiers. China Protests French Seizure of 9 Islands SHANGHAI, July 28—The Nan-| king government is preparing to pro- | test the seizure by France of nine groups of islands in the South China Sea, between French Indo-China and the Philippines.

Capitalism Rushing Toward War The unprecedented scale and tempo of the war preparations of every with the United States in the forefront, testify to the fact that the only capitalist hope of a way out of the crisis is a redivision of the world, the vain hope of a temporary rescue of the winner at the expense of the vanquished.

Words About the Last, Nothing About the Next, War It is thus that must be understood the various and only apparently con- flicting expressions of the American Socialist Party with regard to war. At the Socialist-led New Continen- tal Congress in Washington -last May, a resolution was passed for “war against war,” but in the “New Declaration of Independence” which was the manifesto of that congress, the question of war is buried ina tiny paragraph toward the end, and in this paragraph there is no.word about the next war—only a few -be- lated words about the last: “They (the “economic kings and financial barons”) have forced us to bleed and die in defense of their loans and markets abroad; and to kill our fel- low workers in other countries.” ‘Who gave its indispensable help to these economic kings and barons, for that war, resolving against it, then sabotaging struggle, and finally de- livering the disarmed workers over to them, if not the Socialist parties?’ In the very act of resolving against war in this way, in this manifesto, the American Socialist Party is re- peating its old role. “No War Danger for America” But the Socialists must attempt to justify before the workers the con- tradiction of their words against war and their refusal to act against war. They do this for the United States by disarming the workers while “de- ploring” America’s war preparations, which no one can cover up. In-a leading editorial on the anniversary of the world war, “The World To- morrow,” the Socialist-edited monthly founded by Norman Thomas, brazenly declares that “sober, reflection will make it clear that there is little probability that the United States will become involved in war within the immediate future. The danger is real, but it is a decade or longer removed.” (Our emphasis.) In the face of the relentless eco- nomic war of all against all at the World Economic Congress, in which America and the British Empire were the chief antagonists; in the face of the louder and louder calls in the press for war against Japan; Task of All Communist Parties. The general tasks of all Communist Parties is the struggle against imperialist war and military intervention and in the struggle against fascism, social democracy and bourgeois pacifism which facilitate the various methods of preparing and carrying on imperialist war and military intervention against the U.S.S.R., are as follows: 8) To develop a systematic ideological struggle against chauvinism and nationalism, to carry on propaganda for real proletarian interna- tionalism, to expose to the masses all the machinations of the foreign | policy of their own bourgeoisie, to expose all the measures of the home | policy of the bourgeoisie in preparation for war, to expose the production and transport of munitions for imperialist countries, to remind the mas- ses of all the calamities of the first imperialist war, to fight tirelessly against the militarization of the schools. in the face cf ‘he Hugenberg memo- vandum calling for war on the So- viet Union; in the face of the wars already going on in the East and in South America, one side in each war supported by American imperialist interests, the Socialist Party strives to disarm the workers with talk about the “remoteness” of war for Ameri- cans. Nothing so crass can credibly be said about the danger of war in Eu- rope. But even here Norman Thomas, leader of the American Socialist Party, grasps a means to lull the workers’ vigilance. “Certainly the last few days have seen a great lifting of the war clouds,” he writes in the New Leader on May 27. How did this happen? Norman Thomas explains: through the signing of the Four Power Pact, the Mussolini-inspired draft of a union of the four great European powers against the Soviet Union; and by the announcement of Norman Davis in behalf of President Roose- velt that America would consult with the other powers in the event of a threat to peace. How do these events lift the war) clouds? Glorification of American . Imperialism A leading article on the front page of the same issue of the New Leader explains. Davis's statement means “that the United States would not supply materials to any nation tha’ was being chastised by joint action of the powers.” ‘This choice ray of hope for Social- ists is supplemented by a ‘ica tion of American imperialism: “The United States is the strongest im- Perlalist power in the world, and its —From the 12th Plenum Resolution of E. C. C. I. rn assurance that it is interested in checking any power that may turn; gangster has relieved the top-hat gentlemen.” In 1915, Morris Hillquit, a leader of the American Socialist Party, was writing about his brother Socialists who in every European country had thrown themselves into the support of their own bourgeoisie in the war! like so many prostitutes: “The Socialists have not sinned against the world. . . . The world,| the world of capitalism and murder, | has sinned against the Socialists and sinned against itself.” After 18 years, we find a striking repetition of this treachery in the} May 13 issue of the New Leader. Although there are no war clouds, and the war clouds have lifted thanks to American imperialism, “An Amer- ican Socialist in Berlin” writes there about the next war and the French Socialist Deputies’ support of the French war budget: “This was no act, of treason at all. It was simply a proof that the ma- jority of Socialist deputies now con- sider a strong army necessary as a defense against fascist invasion. They believe that the final victory of So- cialism in France will depend on the defeat of Fascism in a war that is to be expected Soon... . “A War for Democracy” “Now I should like to call the at- tention of all Sacialists to a great difference between the last war that ‘Was supposed to :nake the world safe for democracy, and the war that now threatens to break over France, The essential difference is this: the World ‘War was a struggle for export mar- kets between capitalist nations of all political complexions. The war now threatening will be more purely Political in its nature, and will be in fact a struggle in which the block of middle European dictatorships seek to extend dictatorship as a poli- tical system, by force, into the demo- cratic countries of the West. “The outlook is made more menac- ing by the fact that Russia, with its vast natural resources and man- power, lies adjacent to the dictator- ships on the East ... All the dicta- torships are brothers under the skin, (our emphasis) and where immediate commercial interests coincide with Political interests, their alliance seems! practically certain. “Against the united front of) the dictatorships will stand the great democratic republic, defended, I have little doubt, by every native son, save be few and discredited Commun- ts. we “And what kind of an answer would the American people give us if we Socialists asked them to go into an- other European war (this time with us) to make the world safe for.demo- cracy a second time?” Hypocritical Repudiation The protest against this bold-faced incitement, this blood-thirsty prepar- | ation for a next war which, until it is over, will again be a “holy” war, must have. aroused an immense protest among the rank and file of the So- cialist Party, for the New Leader two weeks later tried to back out, saying it had “not been as carefully read as! it shod be.” But ff we do no more than turn to the New Leader of two weeks prior to the publication of this despicable article, we find its central slogan in the May Day manifesto of the Cen- tral Executive Committee of the So- cialist Party as the first May Day slogan: “Against dictzorship.” Here, as everywhere in the litera- ture and statements of the Socialist Party we find an open attack on the Soviet Union,.on the dictatorship of the proletariat, the democratic dic- tatorship of the broadest masses, and | a defense of bourgeois democracy. Bourgeois democracy is capitalist democracy, the dictatorship under democratic forms, of the biggest cap-| italists over all the workers, farmers, and small property owners. When, under the lash of the crisis! and the growth of the revolutionary movement the bourgeois “democrat dictatorship is transformed into oo and bldody Fascist dictatorship, the Socialist Party lumps it with the pro- letarian dictatorship of the masses who are building socialism in the So- viet Union, Socialists Vote for War Emile Vandervelde, chairman of the Second International, repeats the theme of this war-inciting article in his latest book, in which, like every Socialist, he divides the world into two camps, “the old democracy,” and the “countries without demoaracy” (Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union). He adds: “It 1s even very doubtful whether in the hypethetical (our emphasis) case of a new world war Soviet Rus- sia would be on the one side and the coalesced ‘imperialist’ powers on the other.” Meanwhile, in every country where they are represented in parliament, the Socialists have repeated the treachery of 1914, and voted credits for war: the Japanese Socialists, with the approval of their brothers in America and Europe, approve Japan's bloody seizure of Manchuria; the majority of the Socialist fraction | in the French Chamber of Deputies, approve the extraordinary war bud-' get; a Socialist is prime minister of the British Empire. “To Disarm, to Disrupt, to Incite” The role of the Socialist Parties throughout the world is glaringly) clear: They disarm the werkers by min- imizing the danger of war. They sabotage all real struggle against war, while mouthing pacifist phrases, They prepare their followers for} war by glorifying imperialism and at- tacking the Soviet Union. In what form will they repeat their 1914 slogans of “defense of the fath- erland,” and “war to end war” when the next war breaks out? All their writings make it clear. The next war is to be for them a war in defense of “democracy,” of bourgeois democracy against “dicta- torship,”—the dictatorship of the pro- letariat which is the only state form by which the workers can smash cap- italism and begin the building of so- clalism, One essential task of the workers in the struggle against war is to be ever vigilant and alert to discover) and expose the treacherous methods by which ‘the Socialist Party sup- "| ports its own bourgeoisie and pre- pares for inet ad war in behalf of the ruling Class NTRY THE WEEK WILL BE FROM All workers’ organizations in New York have mobilized their membere ships to take part in the drive.

Rising in Value As a result of the fact that thé Soviet Bonds are on a gold basis, while the American dollar is off the gold standard and is depreciating, the value of Soviet. Bonds has increased rapidly during the last three months; rising from the offering price of $51.45 to the present quotation of about $71.69. As the American dollar drops in value the price of the Soviet bonds rises. If Roosevelt uses his power to cut the gold content of the dollar in half, then the price of the Soviet bonds will be $103.
