order to deceive them into fightin

The race issue is thus introduced

issues underlying these conflicts.

truly remarkable how Garvey fails t.
perceive the bitter, ever-growins
struggle within every capitalist ma
ton between the exploited masses o.
the workers and poor farmers and
their capitalist exploiters:
British Strike Revealing.
The most outstanding recent mani
festation Of this struggle was the gen
eral strike. of the British workers.
This strike clearly manifested how
little there is in common between the
leading statesmen" of Great Brit
ain-the British capitalist government
and the exploited British workers.
Similar divisions manifest themselves
in the United States in the great
strikes Of the steel workers. mine
workers, and railroad workers. The
capitalist government in every in
stance stepped in and sent its troops
against the strikers, thus helping the
capitalists to fight the workers.
The Great Conflicts.
THE great conflicts of to-day are
4 therefore conflicts between the
poor and the rich, between the OPP
pressed and the oppressors, between
the exploited and the exploiters. The
poor, the oppressed, the exploited, in
GLIDING within it's ranks workers and
farmers of all races and nationalities;
the rich, the oppressors, the exploit
ers, likewise consisting OF men OF
various races and nationalities.
Goal is End of Capitalism.
The historic significance Of the
great conflicts of today is that they
are struggles to abolish forever the
capitalist system of exploitation, and.
with the fall of the capitalist system
all forms of exploitation, of oppres-
sion, of race discrimination will cease.
The historic example of Russia proves
that such will be the case. With the
overthrow of the capitalist rule in
Russia all the oppressed peoples OF
Russia attained full freedom and
equality. This condition was brought
about thru the joint struggle OF the
workers and poor peasants inhabiting
Russia. There are numerous other
examples of joint action Of the work
ing people Of different races acting in
harmony against their common op-
pressors. We shall mention here the
demonstrations of the French work
ers against the war waged by the
French imperialists against the Riff
fans; the demand of the British work
ers that the capitalist government OF
Great Britain keep its hands OF
China; the demand Of the advanced
/ section of the American workers led
by the Workers Community Party
for complete independence and free
dom of the peoples oppressed by
American imperlalism-the Filipinos,
the Haitians, the Negroes.
AS in Russia. the liberation Of the
oppressed of all races from the yoke
of the American imperialism can and
will be brought about only thru the
joint struggle Of all the oppressed sls-
ments.
Must Unite.
WE stand for such united struggle
" of the all working class organiza-
tions against all forms Of racial dis
elimination, against segregation and
lynchings, for full constitutional
rights, for social equality for the
Negro. Divided into rival racial groups
the workers will never win. Let the
U. N. /. A. recognize this and it will
develop into a powerful and militant
organization that will register great
victories for the race here and now.
