New war- ships and airplanes are being built continually. fae We, the Communists, have his- toric mission of mobilizing the masses to fight against this new world slaughter, to rally the millions of workers and farmers for he defense of the Soviet Union. Can Imperialist War Be Prevented? Is it possible with pacifist slogans or demacogie phrases such as the Socislist Party uses (general strike, etc.) to prevent the imnerialist pow- ers from launching war? NO! As long as capitalism exists, wars are iney- itable. If they want to keen up their power the {mverialists must seek for new markets or fight tHose who want to take away their markets, Impc- The specific features of modern militarism are in general the follow- ing: 1. In former times the population in the hinterland was very little in- volved in actual warfare, except when he enemy occunied certain territory. Otherwise they actually did not face the horrors of war. In the last war this security of the hinterland began to vanish. The zeppelins over Lon- don, far, far behind the front brought he actual horror of war to the hin- terland. If we follow the develop- ment of the war technique (aero- planes, poison gas) we know that the war front will be extended all over the entire territory of a country. 2. There is no need for going into details to explain the immense devel- opment of war technique, and the tremendous mass production of war material already today. We would like to cite only one concrete exam- vle. While in the beginnine of the Jast World War an infantry division ac 24 to 36 machine guns, at the end of the war, when the United States entered into the war, an American infantry division had 960 machine guns, Industrial Base of Armies But the warfare does not depend only on the actual mass production of ammunitions, machine guns, can- nons and other instruments for de- stroving human life, but also in the production, to the same extent, of al- most every economic product.

Behind him were a couple of Wall eet’s fattest, not much interested in the play. They were talking shop. What to put your ioney in. What's good for the “short pull” and the “long pull.” Where to “pick up” something good. One was telling of a stock he had that had failed to go up quickly. “Lay off that one,” said the other fat boy, who seemed to be in the real “know.” “Put all you can into war stuff. Pick any good stock, Get into it. Forget all about it till Spring. Zoom— Watch it go up then!” The Federated Press summarizes these expectations of the capitalists in a dispatch from its Washington Bureau, Feb. “All the plane man- ufacturers, armor plate kings, ship- building companies and others are alking the clouds these days be- cause of the billion dollar navy build- ing program. What sweet profits! One airplane boss made 36 per cent on his recent navy contract.” This 36 per cent was made on business for the Navy Department in 1927-1933 by the Pratt é& Whitney Aircraft Co, (subsidiary of United Aircraft & Transport Corp.) whose profit in one year (1930) was 50 per cent William £. Boeing, head of United Aircraft, admitted before a Senate Committee, Feb. 8, that Pratt & Whitney made a five-year net Profit of $12,046,000 and “bonuses” of $1,247,000 and “execu~- tives’ salaries” of $630,000 during the same period. A big part of the out- lay for salaries went for lobbyists and agents who “contacted” the Navy Department for orders. % On the strength of the orders al- ready going through for cruisers, air- planes and other war materials, and in anticipation of still richer ones to come, the stocks of certain com- panies rose phenomenally on the stock exchange. Wright Aeronauti- cal Corp. stock hit $75 as against a low of $6 last year.

Mar- tin Corp., Consolidated Aircraft Corp., Waco Aircraft Co., and Sperry Corp. Items such as the following appear | almost daily in the Wall St. Journal, this one in issue of Jan 30: “The Navy Department has placed orders for 5,280 tons of armor plate which will cost $2,- 637,679. The contracts were dis- tributed as follows: Bethlehem Steel Co., subsidiary of the Beth- lehem Steel Corp., 2,360 tons at $1,138,280; Midvale Co., 1,767 tons at $852,019: Carnegie Steel Co., subsidiary of the U. 8. Steel Corp., 1,153 tons at $637,389.” Over the opposition of Chairman Vinson of the House Naval Affairs Committee, an amendment was made to the recent naval bill, stipulating that profits should not be in excess of 10 per cent of the gross cost. But even this may be killed in the Sen~ ate. If it isn’t, there are a dozen ways of getting around this slight restriction. And even if there weren't, 10 per cent, after ail, is at least a fairly good taster for peace time. Wait till the real war orders begin pouring into the laps of the hungry manufacturers, The story of the last war may easily be repeated. Profits made by American compan- fes during world slaughter of 1914- 18 are almost unbelievable. Tut the most authoritative government and private sources are responsible for the facts that follow. oe Te A report filed with the Railway Labor Board in 1920, W. Jett Lauck, a former official of the National War Labor Board, reported that 18 com- panies in the iron and steel indus- try “profiteered” to the extent of $70,000,000 during the course of the} war. This was equivalent to 2 tax of about $36 on every family in the United Stat wacess profit over and above the “nor: Some of Firms Whose Soaring Projits Already Show Effects of War Orders Sperry Corp, (nayal equipment).

Ié made 247,000,000 MORE in 1916 than in 1914, As for Bethlehem Steel Corp., the Lauck report states that “in relation to its capital stock,” this company made profits “even higher than those of U. S. Steel Corp.” Bethlehem’s wartime profits were six times those of pre-war. And Davis adds that Bethlehem “made a straight 100 per cent profit on many government war orders.” Bethlehem profits were so high that a dividend of $22.50 a share was declared on its common stock in 1916 and $2350 in 1917, And i] gifts of stock to its shareholders, Regular and extra dividends on this stock increased from $30 a share in 1915 to $100 paid to the war para- sites in 1916, ee eI Belts. published U, &. Senate Document No. 259, 65th Congress, 2nd Session, are even more startling in showing what capitalists of this country cleaned up while the work- ers were dying in the trenches to make the world safe for Wall Street. We find, for example, a chemical company that made net profits on its capital stock amounting to 106 per cent in 1917; a steel company that made 338 per c§ °; a castings com- pany that made 269 per cent and other sample companies in other in- dustries that made as follows: am- Charles M.

Profits of the European capitalist class was equaliy ive. One German expert on the subject of war Profits, Lehman-Russbuldt, estimates that for every soldier killed in the World War a profit of roughly $12,000 was made by the capitalists. The armament companies are, of course, utterly impartial, completely unpatritioc, when it comes to making profits out of imperialist mass mur- der, In the World War, as has been frequently pointed out, we found Turkish soldiers killing Australian soldiers with British guns. German ‘These big companies, of course, are not waiting for war to break out to push their business. Their traffic in arms is increasing from month to month as the next world conflict ap- proaches. And when the slightest move is made to interfere in any way with this international traffic, these companies bring immediate pressure to bear on their legislative puppets. Such companies as duPont, Anaconda Copper, Waco Aircraft and others set up a tremedous howl a few months ago when it was thought that an embargo on shipments of war materials to South America and Japan might be established.
