WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1934 War Flames in the Far East! A DAY passes without the most startling con- firmation of the correctness of the Communist In- ternational’s estimate of the rapid, forward strides of @ new world slaughter. Yesterday at Singapore a war confab of British admirals began. The imperialist powers are rushing troops and ships to the Far East. Their newspapers ate already popularizing the slogan of “War in the Spring!” Japanese miltitarists are relentlessly, ceasclessly @ziving to war on the Soviet Union. They are rush- ing their railway construction, aimed at the Soviet Bnion. Daily troops are shipped from Japan to Man- churin, distributed along the Soviet border and Mon- wolia, Just yesterday, Foreign Minister Koki Hirota of Japan issued a provocative declaration against the Soviet Union, inviting the United States to join in the imperialist attack against the Soviet Union. dent,” said this spokesman of the Japanese militar- tots, “that the United States will not fail to appraise correctly Japan's position in Bastern Asis.” OTHER WORDS, he holds owt the bait of the com- mon interests of sll the imperialist bandit powers im prosecuting vigorousiy the war preparations against ‘the Soviet Union. ‘The Communist International at the 13th Plenum of its Executive Committee passed a resolution in which it declared, on “The Imperialist Preparations for a New World War": “The growing uncertainty of the bourgeoisie as to the possibility of finding a way owt of the crisis only by the intensified exploitation of the toilers of their own countries, has led the imperialists to put their main stake on war. “The international situation bears aii the features of the eve of a new world war.” Certainly in the United States with the billions in war expenditures, with the open announcement of Assistant Secretary of War Woodring that the New Deal is a war mobilisation, we can see the truth of this declaration. “The flames of a new world war are flaring up In the Pacific,” declared the 13th Plenum Resolution of the Communist International. Since then these flames are shooting wp more dan- gerously. “The Japanese militarists are calling to the Ger- man fascists and the British imperialists to unleash a counter-revolutionary war against the U.S. S.R. from the East and from the West.” ; Now these same imperialists are calling on their class brothers—American imperialists—to join with this pack of imperialist bloodhounds to attack the workers’ fatherland. is an attempt of the Japanese imperialisis (for which they certainly offer attractive considerations in sharing in the spoils) to counteract Soviet recog- nition. “The bourgeoisie,” declares the 13th Plenum resolu- tion and this refers to all imperialist countries— want to postpone the doom of capitalism by a crim- inal imperialist war and a counter-revolutionary cam- paign against the land of victorious socialism. “The great historical task of international Com- maunism is to mobilize the broad masses against war even before war has begun, and thereby hasten the doom of capitalism. “Only 2 Bolshevik struggle BEFORE the outbreak of war for the triumph of revolution can assure the victory of a revolmtion that breaks out in connection with war.” RESOLUTION particularly stresses the fact that | in fighting against war, the Communists must pre- pare even now for the transformation of the impe- rialisé war into a civil war. Every worker in the United States is being drawn into the secret as well as open war mobilization of Wall Street. The N.R.A. codes, smashing down wages, at- tempting to cripple and destroy the workers’ organi- zations, is a war mobilization. The CCC camps are openly declared now to be moUilization for war. The fight against war in the United States must be particularly rooted in the vital parts of the war machine of American imperialism. Here we can see the importance of carrying out the Open Letter of the Central Committee of the Com- munist Party, the central point of which is rooting the Party in the basic industries. organization against war among the railway workers, seamen and harbor workers, raising the slogan of step- ping the shipment of arms; organizing demonstrations and strikes to hinder the war mobilization. The widest mobilization of the workers, farmers and petty-bourgeoisie can be successful in the struggle against imperialist war only if we develop the broad- | We must bring the fight against war | est united front. into the A. F. of L. unions. We must arouse the great- est support and strength to the fight against fascism, which goes hand in hand with the preparations for war. With Japan rapidly moving to war against the Soviet Union, aided by German fascism, here in the United States we must arouse the greatest vigilance and struggle for the Defense of the Soviet Union. Thomas Approves toward intensifying the wage slavery of the working Glass has been supported by the leaders of the So- ciglist Party under the guise of Socialist phraseology. First it was the intensified wage slavery of the W.R.A. that was greeted by Norman Thomas as “pro- viding the opportunity for a peaceful transition to Now it is the savage wage slash of the Roosevelt (aflation that receives Thomas’ blessings. Yesterday, ‘Roosevelt's financial adviser, Prof. F. Warren admitted before the Senate Bank- ing Committee that Roosevelt's inflation is raising the ‘ a of living, and that in all capitalist inflations wages ran, leg behind rising prices, thus inéreasing the of the masses. day before, on the floor of Congress, it was ‘quite openly by many a capitalist politician Roosevelt Equalization Fund is intensifying Cina imperialist rivalry between British and ERY step that the Roosevelt government takes | | | | | “Tam con- | | The greatest share of | the struggle against war requires more agitation ana | | | | Roosevelt’s inflationary assault on the masses? American perialism, and that this augments the danger of war In short, it should be clear that Roosevelt's en- tire purpose in his gold devaluation is to increase the profits of Wall Street monopoly capital at the ex- pense of the American toiling masses and Wall Street's imperialist rivals, that it is a further step toward in- flationary plundering of the masses, toward fascist reaction and war. . . . JT what does the Socialist leader, Norman Thomas, think of this Roosevelt policy? What does he tell the workers about it? Does he warn them to fight against it? Does he urge them to resist it, and de- mand that Roosevelt put the burden of the crisis on the capitalist class, rather than on the masses? Quite the contrary. Here is how he talks to the workers in his New Leader editorial this Week: “Remembering that world trade is still in the grip of a crazy capitalist system, the President's proposals for devaluating the dollar in terms of gold... are probably about the best that can be made. . . . The terms of the President’s proposals Jessen rather than increase the Ganger of war be- tween currencies and for advantage in foreign trade. They do not end it...,. As it is—the measure of inflatton proposed by the Presidsat may bring about along certain lines what looks like a boom. . .* Behind the “critical” tone and the Socialist phrase- | ology, Is there anything here which Roosevelt and his reac- tionary capitalist advisers could not approve? Inflation will bring a “boom” declares Thomas, A boom for whom, may we ask? Roosevelt’s inflation brought a temporary boom during the summer—but this boom meant only increased profits for the mono- Poly capitalists and a lower standard of living for the masses, This boom meant that workers now have to pay 20 per cent more for bread, and 15 per cent more for | milk. eae does Thomas justify his support of this capi- talist inflationary attack on the workers? It is his answer to this question that reveals the very heart of the capitalist ideology of these So- clalist leaders, Thomas declares that these infla- tion measures are necessary “because world trade is still in the grip of the crazy capitalist system.” Im these words, he is placing himself squarely behind American imperialism’s inflationary war drive for foreign markets! He approves the dollar devaluation because it will help Wall Street imper- ialism to fulfill its objectives in the present state of world trade! This is how Social Democracy always adapts its line to suit the needs of its own bourgeoisie at any given historical moment. Socialist leaders everywhere proclaim their ap- proval of Socialism and their opposition to capitalism. But, meanwhile, they say we are living under capi- talism, and therefore we must adapt ourselves to this | “crazy capitalist system.” That's how the Socialist Second International justified its support of the im- perialist World War in 1914-18. That’s how the Ger- man Socialist leaders justified their support of the arch-reactionary Junker militarist, Hindenburg. 'That’s how Thomas now justifies his support of the Roose- velt, inflationary-imperialist drive for foreign markets. Wall Street needs dollar devaluation in its fight for trade. And so Thomas supports it, with So- cialist phraseology about the “crazy capitalist system”! This is the typical role of Social-Fascism—to pre- pare the way for fascist reaction and war, behind Socialist phrases. This is what Social-Fascism is— Socialist in phrase, but Fascist in content and deed. And that is why the workers in the struggle against the Roosevelt Wall Street exploitation and reaction must direct their main blow against the treachery of Socialist leaders like Norman Thomas. eee A Test for Every Party Organization NOE THOUSAND letters a day are coming in to the Roosevelt government protesting against the firing of the C.W.A. workers ordered by President Roosevelt. But Roosevelt repeats that he will not continue the C.W.A. beyond May 1 and will not budge in his deter- mination to go through with the program of firing one million men from C.W.A. jobs on February 15 and an additional million every two weeks. Roosevelt declared he did not want to endanger the value of the U. S. investments in the security markets. He does not want to hurt the Wall Street bond investments of ten billion dollars which will be bought from the U. 8. government, he intimates. Now at the time when the workers can see that Roosevelt has given up all his promises, when C.W.A. is to be completely closed down, when the workers are told they will haye neither jobs or relief, the fight for the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill must be increased. The workers see the need for security. There is a mass demand for unemployment insurance. The social-fascists and politicians try to sidetrack this demand with a fiood of fake “in- surance” bills. The fight now for the Workers Un- employment Insurance Bill and for jobs or relief for all workers is a test for every member of the Party. Will the mass demand for relief and real unemploy- ment insurance be led and organized? The members of the Communist Party must answer with action. The united front of the entire working class must be put into motion to smash this Hunger Program of Roosevelt. ent ie ee E= member of the Communist Party, every unit and section of the Party, should organize prompt action against the brutal and callous abandonment of the seventeen million unemployed workers to starva- tion by the bankers’ government of Roosevelt. The fight of the unemployed for jobs and for re- lief has been lagging. The preparations for the Na- tional Convention Against Unemployment in Wash- ington February 3, have been slow, and not suffi- ciently based on the development of the local strag- gles of the unemployed. Now, when the unemployed and part time workers can see the results of the New Deal—a drastic cut in relief, abandonment of even promises, and a brazen condemnation of the jobless to destitution—now the Communist Party members have the task of taking up all slack in the fight against unemployment. Imme- diate protest demonstrations should be organized every- where. The mass demonstrations Feb. 5 must be | directed toward forcing the Roosevelt government to grant unemployment insurance and relief. All of the billions of dollars now given to the bankers, must be given for further C.W.A. appropriations and for relief, and unemployment insurance. The workers on the C.W.A. jobs must be organized and together with the united front committees of the employed fight against the wage cuts and for the continuance of C.W.A. jobs for all unemployed at union wages and union condi- tions of work, All Communist Party units and sec- tions must rally masses of workers for action against the Hunger Program of Roosevelt.

Cuban workers and students are protesting his arrest and urge similar action by workers and students in the United States. ‘The nev Mendieta government, by this action, once more shows its ser- vility to Wall Street and its local representative, Jefferson Gaffery.

If the government continues to re- sist the demands of the striking med- ical workers, the Cuban Medical Fed- eration is reported ready to support the call of the Communist Party for a general strike against the reaction. The Party today issued a stirring appeal to the soldiers and sailors to fight against the brazen sell-out by Mendieta, Batista and other officials to U. S. imperialism. The widespread discontent in the armed forces is be- ing canalized into committees of ac- tion. In its appeal, the Communist Party calls on the soldiers and sailors to unite with the workers and peas- ants and turn their arms against the bourgeois-landlord puppet govern- ment of U.

The Bolivian commander talked of “past and future sacrifices” in the war instigated by rival British and US. imperialists in the struggle for control of markets and resources in South America, and indicated that the Bolivian puppets of Wall Street would accept no compromise with Paraguay but would continue the fight for full control of the rich oil- bearing Chaco region.

Pravda, organ of the Russian Communist Party, publishes a collection of very rich material from the Marx-Engels- Lenin Institute, under the caption, “Lenin, the Great Founder of Social- ist Construction.” After an exposition of the Leninist plan of building So- cialism in the U. 8. 8. R., and an exhaustive survey of the past ten years, the material ends: “On the Tenth Anniversary of Lenin’s death, on the eve of its 17th Congress, the Party can justifiably state that the most difficult and de- cisive part of the Leninist plan for the construction of Socialism has been fulfilled. The foundation of So- cialist Economy is laid, The question who and whom will be the victors has been decided in town and village com- |pletely and irrevocably in favor of | Socialism.

The possibility of another gov- ernment overturn is being openly dis- ,eussed in the Chamber of Deputies lobbies. The Socialist Party deputies who have hitherto supported the Chau- temps Ministry, including its bill to | slash the wages of civil employes and cub relief, are faced with a dilemma as a result of the wide mass indigna- tion.

British Hunger March Under Way LONDON, Jan. 23—Seven hundred unemployed Scotch workers left Glas- gow yesterday to join the national hunger march on London, to protest against the cutting off of relief under the Means Test Bill. The marchers were escorted ‘to the city limits by over 2,000 ‘unemployed Three hundred of the marchers are from Aberdeen, Perth, Dundee and other northern towns and same to Glasgow to join the Glasgow con- tingent. They will be joined at Edin- burgh by another contingent from Carlisie. They pian to cover the 400 miles in 33 days. ‘The march, which has wide support and sympathy by both unemployed and employed workers, is organized by the British Communist Party. It is bitterly opposed by the British Labor Party officials who are at- tempting to sabotage it at every step in close co-operation with the bour- geoisie and their police. Rank and file sentiment in the Independent La~ bor Party in favor of the present action has forced the officials of that party to endorse the march. _ Big German Arms Plant Employs 1600 More Men KIEL, Germany.—Further evidence of Germany’s intense activity in preparation for war is given by the fact that the Deutsche Werke, the great armament plant here, is now employing 5,400 men, almost half as many more as the 3,800 it employed when it was building the armored cruiser “Deutschland,” a year ago. Like all German armament plants, it is producing only parts, which are to be assembled elsewhere thus con- cealing the nature and quantity of the engines of war which have sud- denly made it so busy. t. triumphed.
