Despite of the N.R.A. parades all over the country, despite the steady drumming of Naval pr despite the deliberate raising of war hysteria by the the jingoism and military array paganda for war preparedness, propaganda machines of the Washington government, almost 3,000 delegates from every section of the coun- tty; representing thousands upon thousands of people, gathered to clasp hands unyielding struggle against the hideous capitalist curse of imper- lalist. war. in a pledge of Perhaps the most overwhelming impression of the Congress was its extraordinary unity on the funda- mental issue of the Congress—the struggle against im- perialist war; the struggle against Fascis against intervention in Cuba, for the defense of the Soviet Union. In the profoundest sense it was a true United Front. There were pacifists sitting beside members of the American Legion, there were members of the National Gtard, as well as a delegate from a National Guard unit. There were scores of rank and file Socialists, Communists, trade union delegates, women’s societies, | peace and religious societies, and farmers, Negro work- ers, ministers, intellectuals, writers, etc. , Welded together by the passionate eloquence of the | guest of honor, Henri Barbusse, these thousands of Gelegates felt an emotion of true solidarity in the struggle against imperialist war. ‘And it is this unity that plays a solid basis for the Successful continuance of the work of the Congress. “The Congress was composed of the most diverse social strata of the American toiling population. ‘There were steel workers from Pennsylvania and farmers from the Far West, there were textile workers, and Negro share croppers from the South, there were liberals like Roger Baldwin and pacifists like Mrs. Anna Gray, there Were writers like Malcolm Cowley and marine workers from the docks. There were ministers and doctors, Serial workers and teachers from the universities. | ET, amidst all these diverse sections of the Amer- | * ican population, it was the working class, the pro- | Ietariat, men and women from the shops, mines, mills, | end factories who gave spirit to the Congress. The | working class is the lever which alone can destroy the imaperialist war and the system that breeds it. And the..fact the working class was the backbone of the Congress means ultimate victory in the struggle against war. But the fact that the mighty gathering against | War was dominated by workers is also inseparably con- | nected with the strikes in the basic industries of the | country, coal, steel, and textile, and auto, a strike wave | that rises higher every day, gathering tremendous force | a8 it goes. | The deyotion, the heroism, and the fighting reso- | luteness that the basic sections of the American work- | ing class are now showing in the fight against N.R.A. | capitalist exploitation, against wage cuts, starvation, | and wage slavery, found their reflection in the Anti- | War Congress. The American working class is learn- | ing that it is those who exploit them in the factories | and mines who are also the war makers who prepare | them for slaughter in imperialist wars. And the work- | ers» who gathered in the Congress have learned that | the fight against capitalist exploitation in the factories | i6-part of the struggle against war, just as much as the struggle against war is part of the struggle against | the employers in the factories. And they showed that | they are ready to fight in both places. HERE were hundreds of delegates from the Trade | * Unions, American Federation of Labor and Trade | Union Unity League. This was another significant | "phate of the Congress. For the A. F. of L. bureaucracy. led by the Greens, Lewises, etc., have always been and are now part and parcel of the official government | war-making machinery. At the very moment that the locals of the A. F. of L. delegates sat in the Congress, Green and his henchmen were calling for the building “of more battleships. The A. F. of L. bureaucracy is ‘part and parcel of the N.R.A. war administration. It Jed the workers into the last 1917 imperialist slaughter, and it is ready to reveat the performance in the coming ar, That is why the struggle against war must be carried with the greatest boldness and energy ~~ into every A. F. of L. local in the country. This is vital. The Congress made a powerful begin- «ming in this direction, _ The official leadership of the Socialist Party was ‘Aot at the Congress. It felt that it did not belong with the thousands of delegates who came to fight im- perialist war. But it is a testimony to the growing cleavage between the rank and file of the Socialist Party. andthe leadership that there were many scores "Tank and file Socialists there. Significant: also were “the: speeches of two prominent Socialist leaders, J. B. *Matthews and Paul Porter, who pledged their whole- hearted co-operation with the Congress and its pro- gram. 2 The thrilling unity of the Congress will dispel once “and for all the slanders that have been so diligently ‘spread by the official Socialist leadership about the “insincerity” of the Communist Party in its call for a “Dhited Front struggle against war. “-"One of the memorable achievements of the Con- netess was the repeated expressions of solidarity com- sing.from dozens of the farmer delegates from the coun- ‘teyside. The Congress witnessed the unity of wheat Yarmers and marine and steel workers, ; The Congress witnessed the unity of Negro and white toilers, united against their common imperialist . . * Congress was proof that the Communist Party is _hot only profoundly serious and earnest in its call a United Front, but that is it ready to participate in true unity with a Congress constituted of the most Miyerse political elements, honest in their opposition War.

The Congress closed in an extraordinary burst of enthusiasm and feeling. After much discussion the final resolution was at last hammered out and unani- mously adopted by the Congress with great enthusiasm. And it is tribute to the character of the Congress that it recognized in this resolution the basic cause of war to reside in the capitalist system. The Congress pledged itself to defend the Soviet Union as the great- est force in the world today. It recognized in the Roosevelt program all the features of a war program. Tt recognized and acknowledged the leading position of the working class in the struggle against imperialist war. 'HE work of the Congress must go forward. Into | the shops, factories, trade unions, A. F. of L. locals, | in the armed forces, universities, neighborhoods, the preparations for struggle against war must go on. The Congress pledged to organize the stoppage of all munition shipments, to expose the Roosevelt war preparations, to demand the transfer of all war funds for the relief of the unemployed, to fight Fascism both at home and abroad, to form committees of action in the factories, particularly in the war industries, to win the army and navy rank and file for the .struggle against war, But the greatest tasks of the Congress now lie be- fore it. In deeds, and in deeds only, will its sincerity and the effectiveness of its resolutions be tested. ‘The coming months must see an enormous coming to grips with the execution of the resolutions of the Congress. The Congress, which has set up an appa- ratus that will not only organize the execution of the decisions, but will supervise and check up on their per- formance, must begin to function at once. This must be the note of the work from now on. Action, action and still more action! In the words of that world fighter against Fascism and War, Henri Barbusse, “Our task now begins.” Hunger As a Scab Weapon’ ISING the threat of hunger as a weapon against the jobless, the bosses are calling on their government. welfare agencies to supply recruits for strike-breaking. ‘This pernicious plan was revealed in the request for strike-breakers by Ford officials in Edgewater, N. J., to welfare agents. This action is not new. Every weapon at their disposal has always been used to beat back into sub- mission workers who are fighting for better condi- tions. The roster of charity organizations, which are maintained by funds from the rich, was always used to | break strikes. Especially workers with large families, vultures who prey on them. But the annals of American class struggle are filled with numerous chapters of proletarian solidarity, which beat back these attacks. The revolutionary organizations play a vital role in uniting the ranks of the working class. The Unem- ployed Councils have inscribed on their banner the unity of employed and unemployed. Militant unions affiliated with the Trade Union Unity League, and the left wing in the American Federation of Labor are Ford Hunger March in Detroit last year was a splendid example of the solidarity of employees in the plant with the jobless, During the McKees Rocks, | lines with their striking brothers. The miners’ struggles are replete with countless examples of similar actions. What a contrast between this working class solidar- ity and the despicable action of A. F. of L. leaders who denied jobless workers the right to join the picket lines in Edgewater, N. J. * The scabbing hunger weapon must be wrested from the hands of the bosses. It must be destroyed. This can be done by assuring the jobless from starvation through unemployment insurance. Unemployment and social insurance will safeguard the employed and unemployed. It will assure the necessary income during part-time work, accident, sick- ness, old age, etc. Unemployed! Defeat attempts to make you scabs and thereby beat down your conditions as well as those of your employed fellow workers. Employed!

Wooley, American delegate to the “Disarmament” Conference, were putting on a “pacifist” show of their own in Washington. They addressed a meeting called by the National Council for the Prevention of War. “Whether’or not the forthcoming negotiations will progress to an international agreement which will banish the spectre of unbridled arms competition wil depend to a large extent on the degree to which an aroused public opinion in all countries proclaims its will that there must be no failure, and that the con- ference must be carried through to a constructive is- sue,” said Hull's message. And Mary Wooley appealed for “an aroused public opinion, a determined public opinion, a public opinion that is willing to pay the price of co-operation to keep out of war.” . . HO are these people, and why are they found mak- ing such declarations, at just this time? Hull is Secretary of State of a Cabinet which has made the largest peace-time. appropriations for..war in all history—over a billion for. the army and navy in six months—and is preparing to appropriate another guarter-billion for air bases, army planes, and motor- izing of the army. fs He is a colleague of Claude A. Swanson, Secretary of the Navy, who in Hawaii, the day before, was declaring once again for a navy second to none. Mary Woolley is the lady whose sweet pacifist Phrases at the Disarmament Conference last vear Played their part in covering up the cynical fraud of that obscene war-makers’ circus, Against whom is this “aroused public opinion” to be aimed? ; It ts to be aimed against America's ‘rivals in the race for arms. It is an “aroused public opinion” in America against Japan, against Great Britain, against, France. It is the “aroused public opinion” which is to justify America’s part in the atmaments race, And in this race, it is America which has taken the lead. It is Hull's own government which is spending the hugest sums. These two eminent “pacifists,’ Secretary Hull and Mary Woolley, reveal with cynical candor the true role of every one who mouths pacifist phrases. An “aroused public opinion” for disarmament for others is an aroused public opinion for war prepara- tions at home and, in due time, an aroused public | geois “[ PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE!” “For the first time in history, soldiers take an oath, not to king and country, all toiling humanity, an oath to look upon all humanity as brothers.” —- Henry Barbusse on the Red Army at the U.

Joint action against German Fascism was pro- posed in a telegram sent to the Convention of the American Federa- tion of Labor in Washington today by the American Committee Against Fascist Oppression in Germany, of which Prof. Robert Morss Lovett, editor of the “New Republic,” is chairman. The wire stated that “6.000 mem-~- bers throughout the U. 8. A. of the American Committee Against Fas- cist Oppression in Germany believe that the destruction of German labor organizations presents grave danger to labor movements throughout the world. “We note that you consider offi- cially adopting a boycott on German goods until Germany recognizes the right of workers to organize into bona-fide independent unions and until that nation ceases its repressive policy of persecution of the Jewish people. “We propose the working out of a program of joint action between the A.
