We repre- sent the wishes of millions of women, who have charged us to the situation of is in all cou 8 ion of the workers of ve study the globe, years after the out- break of the World war. We are workers and peasants, teachers or office workers, repre- sentati of liberal professions or and all political te dencies are represented among us. We have come from Europe and America, from the Far East ar from Africa, from the free Sc Socialist Republics and from colo- nies oppressed by imperialism. We shall spread throughout the world the resolutions which we have taken in agreement. | During the dark days of 1914- 1918, there was not a single far in all the warring countries—in al- | most all the countries of the world where there was not a gap of death, not a family which did not mourn a father, a husband, a son. | Nine million lives destroyed in their | prime and in the flower of youth; | three times as many children dead of hunger or disease, or whose | lives were shortened by vant nourishment. | The governments which drove the | nations into this hell of mutual Massacre, by force, despite their will, have pretended to console the widows and orphans by saying to them: “Your loved ones fell for | the national honor, for the nation’s | freedom, for the future and well- | being of the fatherland.” | But this is the trut 1 handful of mur tion magnates, of bankers and large | landowners, in the interest of peo- | ple who could be counted and could be named.

Swollen with gold by the war, the profiteers increased their pow- er. Their exploitation grew enor- mously in the factories, in the of- fices, and on the land. The state power, the police, the courts, are there, ever ready to strike against the people at the least sign of dis- content, at the least indication of resistance, ever ready to silence them by the arguments at their disposal: the gag, the club, and the prison. From the oppressed countries, from Africa, from India, from China, there has come to us a cry of agony, a call for help, from hun- dreds of millions of men and wo- men whose bowels are tortured by hunger, driven to revolt by the ex- actions of the war profiteers, the exploiters of the armed peace. We have heard the desperate cries of millions and millions of our unemployed sisters, who are no longer able to save their chil- dren,—all these cries which liter- ally rise from the stones of the highways and the streets of all the great cities, Our youth, our working youth, an Delegate r Con gress s Unity of Meet going into the churches in the South and tell them about the many women who were at the in ternational congress — “even 5 nurses—women from every walk in life.” “This is no individual fight; it’s I'm going to tell the women: ‘You needn’t to worry. There’s nothing to lose; there’s everything to gain.’ But we must organize, we must.” Yes, she was going to tell the n= | Southern women workers, particu- larly her Negro neighbor, about the Congress. She, whose life was one le with the Ala- which is our love and our hope, is without hove, without future, and their fate is like a decline where they daily fall lower and lower. We have heard all these voices, arising from all countries, which are in the grin of the money powers, all these voices which cry ‘out their sorrows and their defeat. These voices keep repeating that om a system which to provide work for or to do anything e the social and cul- 1 progress of humanity. They that they see clearly, bluntly, at this system is the system of capitalism. say At the same time, the emanci- patory struggle of the exploited and the oppressed against their oppres- rs takes on in all countries an easing breadth. The rul- embles with fear of los- power. It no longer replies se who struggle for bread and for social justice except by ferocious repression, a repression which, like the huge wars of our time, permits us to call this “the age of blood.” In many countries whose people have worked nobly for human pro- gress it has already installed fas- cist dictatorship, the most odious form of reaction which the nations have ever known. Germany, Italy, Austria and Poland, Hungary, the Balkans, Por- tugal, have been transformed by fascism into tremendous convict prisons. Fascism has deprived woman of the social status which, although still low, she had won at the pric@ of struggle through so many years. It has made her once again a passive servant of man, lly dependent, dispossessed of jer rights, a human machine good only for obtaining the future victims of the slaughter which is the logical consequence of this sit- uatioh, Fascist Yortures The picture of the unheard of and indescribable tortures which arg inflicted on the people by the Hitler terror fills us with a pro- found horror, which awakens and strengthens in us the feeling of Solidarity which ties us to our brothers and sisters in Germany. We shall know how to support with all our strength the battle which during their defeat of today. German fascism, through its eco- nomic policy directed against the people which it has deceived, through its destruction of the so- cial gains of all parts of the popu- lation, has intensified to the ex- treme the crisis and misery, and is leading the entire country to ca- tastrophe. It is the same in fascist Italy. In both countries, fascism has hibited before the eyes of the entire world not only its inability, but also its lying demagogy, its rot- teness and its adventurist policies, and it has become apparent that it peddles in mud as well as in blood. By pompous phrases, fascism seeks to inculcate in women and girls ideas about the family, edu- cations, the nation and the race, which are petty, reactionary and degrading. This is in order to para- lyze the resistance of the workers of both sexes, in order to make the oppression last as long as possible. Fascism is also attacking in the countries of democratic appearance and pretension: in France, in Eng- land, in the United States, in Bel- gium, in Spain, in Czechoslovakia, in the Scandidanvian countries. The governments of these countries be- gin in the same way as did the others, by attacking the democratic liberties scrap by scrap, and by fa- voring fascist bands which are de- signed to lead a bloody fight against the working population. This is the terrible balance of misery and oppression which is charged against post-war capi- talism, A New War Looms But the immediate future is even more dismal and terrible than the present. Carried away by the race for profits, caught in the gears of the machine of gold and iron, the profiteers of the war of 20 years ago are preparing a new world slaughter which will immeasurably surpass the other in cruelty and in harmfulness. These profiteers have need of fascism, in order to propa- gate chauvinism, and to render obe- dient, by the boot and the machine- gun, the masses and all those who dare to offer any resistance to war. Every year the number of billions destined for armaments, which are j Vice of mass murder. are like a cancer on normal indus- tries, take on fantastic proportions. Never before has one seen peace working so intensively for war. In Germany and in Japan women and girls, placed in industrial barracks, are producing engines of murder for a wage of hunger. Men and women, old and young, are sub- mitted to a regime of militarization. All the sacred acquisitions of the mind are militarized. Technique and science are placed in the ser- When war breaks out there will no Jonger be any difference between the front and the rear, for there is no possible resort of any kind against gas and bacteria, For years the capitalist countries have been waging war in China, in Latin America, in Morocco, in India, a war which daily costs hun- dreds of human lives and which daily ravages thousands of homes, Defend Soviet China The liberated section of Central China, the Soviet country which contains more than 80 million in- habitants, is the target of the Chi- nese militarists and of their impe- rialist allies. It is that because it is above all the living expression of free China. All of their reasons for attacking it must move honest peo- ple to cry: No! These attacks are the prelude to the great international slaughter which threatens to burst out any day and to engulf the whole world. In the east, Japanese imperial- ism, in the west, Hitler fascism, supported by the reactionaries of all countries, are preparing to attack the Soviet Union, that rampart of peace and of fraternal solidarity of all peoples. They are preparing to begin this war today rather than tomorrow. What has held them back until now is above all the stubborn and heroic policy of peace of the Soviet government, the gov- ernment which respects the desire of its population for peace. We are confronted on this 20th anniversary of the war with an un- heard of provocation organized by Hitler fascism in Central Europe; on the Austrian frontiers and in the Saar. Certain imperialist countries hur- extorted from the people, grows. The war industries, which are un- they are continuing to carry on Productive and destructive, which riedly reply to this provocation by concentrating their troops on the Austrian frontier, In a few months, perhaps in a few weeks, we may be precipitated into a great catastrophe. Whether this catastrophe will be initiated by Japanese imperialism in the Far East, or by German fascism in Bu- rope, it will inevitably become a world war. ‘We sound the alarm! All women have a deep desire to fight against war and fascism, and all, without distinction, recognize that the U. 8. S. R. has given the example for the emancipation of women. There has sprung up in the Soviet Union ‘a cultural and social upsurge with- out precedent in history. There women have access to all profes- sions, to all acivities, and they have the same rights and the same du- ties as the men who work with them in the building of a new hap- py social order. That is why the women of the entire world must join. with their men and women comrades in the Soviet Union, and fight energeti- cally against every policy of aggres- sion against the Soviet Union by Japanese, German, or any other im- perialism. We call to guard all those who can hear us, because we clearly see that the life and future of the peo- ples are at stake in 1934 just as they were in 1914, and even more than in 1914. We can place no con- fidence in the ‘pacific declarations of the capitalist governments, while these governments, far from pro- hibiting or restricting the traffic in arms, rather encourage it and mul- tiply it; while they oppress and desolate the colonial peoples, and silence their demands for freedom by bullets, by bombs, by the axe and the gallows; while they arm in- stead of disarming. We, the women, we see humanity threatened by an unprecedented ca- lamity. It is our duty. to oppose it, to place ourselves against it. This is our mission, We know that this all too defi- nite calamity which is taking shape around us can only be avoided by a concerted and powerful movement, by a mass movement of the women. of all countries and all social strata who suffer from war and from fas- cism, of women of all political and “MOTHER” BLOOR Seventy-two years young, this veteran anti-war fighter headed the American delegation to the Congress, “Mother” Bloor will speak at many anti-war meetings to women all over the country in the next few months, scious and organized struggle to prevent war and to defeat fascism. Actions Against War We will take part without hesi- tation in all demonstrations against war and fascism. We will support the protests of the workers: their demonstrations, their strikes, their boycott of the transport of war ma- terials. We admire the struggle which the Japanese and Chinese ‘women are waging with courage and self-sacrifice against those who are responsible for the war in China. They give us an example which must be followed by the women of the entire world, The World Congress calls on all women throughout the world who do not wish to remain indifferent to the fate of humanity. It ad- dresses itself to all organizations which oppose fascism and war, and invites them to join without delay in the ranks of the fighters for a Great and just cause: For the economic, social and cul- tural demands of women, as they have been formulated by the con- gress in the charter demands; Against the nationalism, the chauvinism, and the racism which excite the peoples against one an- other and which throw them into imperialist war; Against militarism, armament, religious tendencies, who, side by side with men, must wage a con- the transport of war materials, and against the militarization’ of the where to Act Against Danger of New War population in general and of youth in particular; Against all war budgets, for total disarmament and for diverting the quantities of gold designed for war to purposes of social and cultural progress; For the support of the noble emancipatory struggle of the colo. nial peoples and the oppressed na- tions; For the defense of the rights the Chinese people, and for thef/ mediate cessation of the ‘) against China, and in partic, against Soviet China; For the support of the peace icy of the Soviet Union, and for defense of the Soviet Union aga} the provocations of the imperid ists; For the defense of the democrati liberties of the working populatior in all countries; For the liberation of Ernst Thael- mann, of all the men and women anti-fascists of the entire world, who are imprisoned, tortured, and condemned side by side with the opponents of war; For the total emancipation of women; For the freedom of the schools from nationalist control; let the mothers teach their children love for all the peoples of the world, let the teachers and intellectuals forge a. spirit of universal solidarity of youth. We appeal to all women, of all countries of the world. We implore them to think of the terrible con- sequences of the last war, of the ir. remedial consequences of the next war. We show them the straight, the clear and proper path which opens in front of them, and at the end of which there lies the victory of, human reason, of human feeling. Women can do everything against war and fascism if they march hand in hand. Let us form Women's Committees everywhere. Let them spring up everywhere, let them multiply in all countries, let them unite their forces in a common fight! Arise, for a decisive struggle against war, before it sweeps the peoples into its whirlpool! Arise against fascism, which sys- tematically murders all honest peo- ple in order to perpetuate the rule of iniquity, of misery and of mas- sacre! ‘Mother’ Ella Reeve Bloor Writes Vivid By “MOTHER” ELLA REEVE BLOOR HE Women’s World Con- gress Against War and Fascism just held in Paris— numbering over 1,000 dele- gates—was an event of the greatest importance to work- ‘ng women.

Tasker went on to tell of the daily, workmanlike sessions of from 9 to 12:30 eyery morning, re- convening for the four days of the Congress. Mrs. Tasker plunged into the work of the session with the rest, meeting in committees, dis- myeine and debating. “It was heay- on earth to see a number of women working together for one thing in harmony and ‘peace.” What did she think of the Soviet delegation? “Tt was thrilling to see them march in, even thought it was on the last day.

And that was the fact that we working class women could neu- tralize, if not win over, so many middle class women—pacifists, fem- inists, church women. “There was a real feeling of in- ternationalism,” she went on, “a unity built on the basis of the ex- cellent reports of the women work- ers who led the Congress.

The enthusiasm can be imagined. The slogans everywhere marked the spirit and purpose of the gathering —‘United Fight of All Women Against War and Fascism,” “Sustain the Peace Policy of the Soviet Union, the Country of the Liberated Woman,” etc. All reporters remarked that the American delegation had a genuine united front of elected delgates, four of them Negro delegates from the most oppressed race of America, Elect Presidium After spirited songs led by the French delegation the Congress was organized by the election of an hon- orary Presidium. The long list of honored names made mention of Clara Zetkin, Rosa Luxembourg, Karl Liebnecht, Francesca Wessel, member of the Reichstag, murdered by the fascists of Germany, Dimit- roff and many others of our fallen comrades—among the living mem- bers, Gertrude Ruegg, languishing in a Chinese prison, Comrades Steinfurth and Beimler in German concentration camps, Camilla Do- verra, member of the Central Com- mittee of the Italian Communist Party, Ada Wright of America, the internationally known Scottsboro mother, Romain Rolland, Henri Barbusse, and many others. Then Comrade Stassova of the Soviet Union, one of the most ener- Setic and beloved delegates of the entire Congress, proposed the elec- tion of a Secretariat of 15 members, and the Presidium of 25, or more, Charlotte Despard (Ireland); Amer- ica, Ella Reeve Bloor (U. 8. A.), Capitola Tasker, Albama. Mrs. Inez Barr, Milwaukee, also elected on the Presidium, was chair- man for one session of the Congress. Mabel Byrd, an American delegate was elected on the Secretariat and 4 served as chairman of one ses- sion. 20 Years After World War Mme. Duchesne of France and Mme. Haden-Guest of England, active members of the Initiative Committee responsible for the or- ganization of the Congress, formally opened the Congress with stirring addresses, Mme. Guest said, in part: “The call to this Congress came from many notable women like Charlotte Despard, Gabrielle Duch- esne, Helene Stassova, Mme. Sun Yat Sen, Helene Dimitrova, and many others—women were mobilized everywhere. This Congress takes place just at the twentieth anni- versary of the World War, so we must, and shall be, an accusation against the capitalist system, out of which war and fascism are born. “Today we are gathered together with women from fascist countries who fought heroically with their husbands. We have an awful list of imprisoned, tortured, and mur- dered women from the countries of fascism and reaction. “I, myself, have seen, in Vienna, many Socialist and Communist women maltreated by Dolfuss agents. One of these is Paula Wal- lich, whose husband was hung. She has sent letters of greeting to this Congress. I was present at her trial, Her judge was the same man who imprisoned her husband, He treated her sadistically, but she, in Spite of extreme illness, was heroic and militant. “We comrades here at this Con- gress must fight for her deliver- ance and for all imprisoned women of all countries... “Our Cowgress takes place in a time of a threatening war danger. In Japan and Germany the fight against the Soviet Union is already prepared. In all capitalist countries immense sums of money, which should have been used for social insurance, are being squandered for organization of new wars. The com- ing war will be bloodier than all before. The Front will be every- where; women and children will not be spared. Therefore the task of women in all countries is to organ- ize the action of women against all imperialist wars. “I herewith declare this Congress opened.” Fight Against Common Enemy This speech was the keynote of the Congress and the open discus- sion started immediately. It is im- Possible in any brief analysis of the Congress to give adequate mention of all the remarkable women who participated—women like those from the Saar Valley, who stressed the formation of their united front of Communist and Socialist Parties, One of them, a Socialist, Mme. Wodergach, said: “Deeply influenced by our united front, successful because of our ten- acious efforts, about 30 per cent of the Catholic women have organized themselves in opposition to Hitler ++.” “We were often asked, ‘Will not one group dominate another?’ We answered ‘We in the Saar do not worry about such things.’ When the enemy stands before me I do not ask who my partner is, if only he fights with me against our common enemy. “Therefore we Socialists are join- ing with the Communists. Our enemy is fascism. I appeal to the women of the entire world to follow the example of the Saar and to bring about a united front every- where, so that the bond of Socialism should embrace the entire world.” As the Congress progressed we realized that we had achieved a genuine united front, not for the record alone, but in every possible way, to unite all kinds of women in organized action after the Confer- ence, Pacifist and feminist women said, “We now realize that we can never have peace, and that women can never gain their freedom until we have abolished fascism and war.” Tell of Soviet Achievements The most tremendous force to- ward this unity of purpose was the influence of the ten women from the Soviet Union. Stassova, Kir- sanova, workers, and scientists, the heroic woman of the Chelyuskin ex- pedition—all of them, really free women, with their ringing words, challenging the entire Congress to rouse itself, expressing their vic- tories, industrial achievements, cul- tural developments.
