Only Communism Can Crush Wars

munist movement. It is therefore,
the only movement that is truly wag-
ing a war to destroy militarism and
end war. 1t proposes that the power
to make war shall be taken out Of the
hands Of the capitalists. This it pro-
poses to do by placing all the power
in the hands Of the workers. The
Communist movement stands for the
overthrow of capitalist rule, for the
overthrow Of the rule Of the militar-
lists 1t proposes to set up in it's place
the rule of the workers. In place Of
the capitalist governments with their
imperialist policies the Communists
propose to set up the government OF
soviets, the government of workers
and farmers. The power to make war
is then wrenched from the hands of
the war lords, the bankers, the indus
trial overiords and the whole crew
of parasites who have grown rich
thru the misery and exploitation Of
the masses of workers and farmers.
These present day rulers of the peo-
pies destinies will then no longer be
| in a position to stay at home and
glory in the wholesale slaughter dur
ing war of millions of youthful
workers and farmers.
C.-I. offers Only Hope.
On the 10th anniversary therefore,
of the outbreak of the World War
the only hope for the workers against
another recurrence on a world scale
of similar capitalist insanity and all
it implies for the workers is in the
International Communist Movement.
The cry of all workers should be
Down with international war butch
cry, up with the international soIdar-
ity of the workers of all countries in
! the Communist international.

SIP. DENIES
PRESENCE AMONG
Opp. A. CROWD
Says No Delegates at
Cleveland

The national office of the Workers
Party is in receipt of the following
letter from the national secretary of
the Socialist Labor Party.
Mr.. c. E. Ruthenberg,
c. o. The DAILY WORKER,
lib w. Washington Blvd,
Chicago, Ill.
Sir:
In the DAILY WORKER Of July Z,
page /, there appeared an article
signed by you entitled, Railroad
Chiefs Dictators at Cleveland In
this article you say:
Most surprising Of all, there came
to the convention three delegates
representing the national organization
of the Socialist Labor Party, and they
sat thru the convention and accepted
LaFollette and his program without
word of protest, in spite Of. their
many loud protestations of revolution
airy virtue"
AS national secretary of the So
cialist Party l herewith denounce this
statement as an unqualified falsehood.
l also demand that you prepare a
statement for the DAILY WORKER
withdrawing this utterly false, and,
to the S. L. p, libellous statement.
Yours truly,
Socialist Labor Party,
Arnold Peterson, Nat. Sec'y.
The following reply has been sent
to this communication by the execu-
tive secretary of the Workers Party:
Arnold Peterson,
National Secretary,
Socialist Labor Party,
1851 Rose St.,
New York, N. Y.
Dear Sir:
In making the report to the con
vention of the Conference for Progress
sive Political Action, the credentia
committee OF that body reported
among the delegates seated in the
convention:
y National organization Of the So
cialist Labor Party, delegates anC
|! 3 votes"
This report was made publicly t
the convention and there was M
other inference to be drawn from i
than that the national organization
of the Socialist Labor Party had sen
three delegates to the convention VIII
were speakers in the convention
From your letter it appears that thi
is not the case. In view Of thes
circumstances, l suggest that you ad
dress yourself to the secretary Of thu
Conference for Progressive Politica
Action, making inquiry as to VIII
presented the credentials from tn
national organization Of the Socialis
Labor Party reported to the conven
A ton.
We will, OF course, be glad to prin
your letter in the DAILY WORKER
together with this reply.
Very truly yours,

When the capitalist press begins to write "Rus-
sian Reds plan war;" then the workers may look
out for new moves against Russia. The capitalists
of the world have made war on Russia for years,
their peace was preparation to renew that war,
and now they begin to roll the drums again. The
working class must mobilize against this new war
threat
