LAS the Workers Party candidate
for President, / denounce the sinister
purposes of the military clique that

attempt of the warmakers to obscure
the real issues of unemployment, use
of injunctions in labor disputes, open
shop conditions and general economic
ruin and misery that is upon the
masses of the workers and poor
farmers.
1T is an attempt to infiame the
passions of the people in support of
your Dawes plan that will enslave
the workers of Europe.
Should your plan fall through, you
and your capitalist. militarist sup
porters will try to force the workers
and poor farmers of America into q
new war to collect your European
debts. To all capitalistic. militaristic
wars we stand in militant opposition.
The Workers Party of America will
call upon the masses to oppose such
war The Workers Party of America
will urge the workers and poor farm
ers to oppose your defense and pre-
paredness and to refuse to participate
in the Mobilization day proclaimed
by you"

untiring effort, the War Department
has succeeded in piecing together the
machinery for a nationwide mobili-
cation. The complete absence of any

Now our machine is ready, and the
War Department wants to try it out.
No city would install q fire engine
without giving it a test run. Nor
would. any one say the city fire de-
partment was trying to start q fire
or even wanted a fire just because
they insisted on testing out the fire
engine. Yet it is just as consistent
and logical to attack the War De-
partment on the grounds that they
want war or are trying to start a
war.
ITO the everlasting credit of the
people Of the South, 1t can truthfully
be said that none of this criticism
has come from them. Recognizing
the inherent common sense Of holding
q test mobilization, they have in
dividually and through their repre-

Evidence of this lies in the sup

training camp ever held in this corps
area has just finished its course 1t
will be followed this month by the

guarantees of popular approval there
can be no doubt of the success of
