THE natives must be "colonialized."

shaved. Wall Street has the armed
might Of the United States govern
ment at its disposal for this purpose.
Many a Yankee soldier has been sent
out to Haiti or Central America to
fight and die for the National City
Bank
In China today American troops are
taking leading part in the latest
outrages against the Chinese people,
which have as their purpose the re-
division of China among robber i'm
perialists.
This is the capitalism, Of today. 1t
is imperialism. s
Imperialism is the final stage of
capitalism, springing out of the soil
Of capitalism, resting on the system
Of wage-slavery in the home country
and bringing with it new and greater
sufferings for the workers.
What Imperialism Means for the
| American Workers.
Imperialism forces down the stand
ard of living of the workers in the
United States, because OF the compe-
tition with the labor Of more back
ward countries. e
1t increases the insecurity of the
working class family; makes unem-
ployment a permanent plague.
1t allows bosses to ignore the de-
mands Of the workers by simply shut
ting down plants and shifting produc-
ton to some other tsrritory.
1t greatly intensifies the class strug-
gle, at the same time opposing the
poorly organized workers to a power
full, slosely-knit ring OF finance-mon-
opolists.
1t increases the size and mobility
Of the military forces, to be used
against the workers In Industrial
struggles.
1t results In devastating wars-the
bloodiest and most tremendous wars
the world has ever seen-tearing the
workers from their families and send
ing them to kill and be killed on
foreign battleflelds for the sake of
the money kings.
The Next War.
MAR is one of the regular forms of
w competition between the great
militarized imperial trusts of modern
capitalism. The imperialists of the
United States, eagerly striving to
force open the already CLOSED door,
to the treasure house of China. come
into open conflict with the Japanese
imperialists and the British imperial
lists. In making use OF the Monroe
Doctrine to keep the door closed upon
Standard OILS domination of the pet
roleum resources Of Latin America,
they clash directly with the British
imperialists who also want to mono
police this petroleum for their own
purposes. There are hundred and
one other points OF conflict, all of
them leading the way to inevitable
war. 4
The next war is just around the cor
