Down with MiIitarism and
Imperialism

THE capitalists of this country have
4 invested billions of dollars in for
eign countries and are making great
profits out of these investments. In
order to secure the most favorable
conditions for their investments they
have overthrow governments and set
up their puppet rulers as in Haiti
Santo Domingo, Nicaragua and Cuba.
They have established colonies and
spheres of influence as in Porto Rico
the Philippines, Hawaii, Mexico and
other Central and South American
countries. The present campaign to
tighten and perpetuate U. S. imperial
list rule over the Philippine, Islands,
where rubber can be grown under the
American flag is an effort to secure
an American controlled source OF this
raw material Three bills aimed at the
liberty of the Filipino people are be-
fore congress. Similarly, the race for
oil leads the government to indulge
in constant assaults upon the sover-
eighty of Mexico. The American cap
italists are attempting to dominate the
governments of the European coun-
tries. They are carrying on imperialist
exploitation in China. To back these
imperialist adventures for their profits
they saddle upon the workers and
farmers the maintenance Of a great
army and navy and the expenditure of
hundreds of millions of dollars for
military purposes. All Of this leads to
a new world war with all its sacrifice
and suffering for the workers and
farmers.
8. The workers and farmers must
fight for the immediate reduction Of
the army and navy and the abolition
of the Citizens Military Training
Camps. Withdrawal of all American
soldiers and marines from foreign
territory. Immediate independence
for the Philippine Islands and Porto
Rico and the right Of self-determina-
tion for all other American colonies.
Non-interference in the affairs Of
Mexico, Cuba, Central and South
American countries.

ents an attempt to make labor an aid
to the capitalists in securing higher
rates.
The courts continue to use the in
junction as a means of outlawing the
workers strikes for higher wages and
better working conditions. Legislation
is pending before congress to register,
photograph and fingerprint every for
eign-born worker in order to make
these workers afraid to participate in
the workers struggle because Of the
danger Of deportation, and thus max
ing them accept lower wages and long.
or hours reduce the standard of life OF
all the workers, native and foreign
born.
8. The workers must fight for the
repeal of the Watson-Parker bill and
against all similar legislation. They
must fight for legislation outlawing
the use of 1njunctions, police and
soldiers in industrial disputes, and
for laws against private detective
agencies operating as spies and
strikebreakers in industry. They
must fight against the registration
laws directed against the foreign
born worker.

Free the Class War Prisoners

THERE are, in the prisons of the
1 United States, scores of workers
who have dared to. challenge the right
of the capitalists to exploit the work
ers and farmers and who have fought
for a higher standard of life for the
workers. Mooney has been in prison
for ten years, altho every one knows
he is innocent of the crime he is
charged with, and Sacco and vanzetti
are still in danger of losing their lives
because of their fight for the workers.
Many other workers are serving long
sentences under criminal syndicalist
laws, because they expressed their
ideas about capitalism.
s. The workers and farmers must
fight for the freedom Of these class
war prisoners and for the repeal of
all syndicalist and anti-sedition laws
and for the unabridged freedom of
speech, press and assembly.

The War Debts

THE problem of the debts between
4 the capitalist countries growing
out of the world war cannot be solved
by the capitalists. The debts cannot
be paid without great danger to cap
ltalism. Cancellation would mean a
reputation of the basic ideas of cap
italism by the capitalists. For Europe
to pay the United States the billions
which it owes would mean the ship
ment of European goods to this coun
try on a large scale and consequent
stagnation for American industry For
Europe not to pay would be for Amer.
lea to pay the cost of the imperialist
war in Europe and give the European
capitalist countries billions for big
armies and navies and new war.
In funding these debts. the govern
ment has shown the directions where
the capitalists lean by the particularly
favorable terms granted to Mussolini's
fascist dictatorship in Italy. Even Bel
GUM must pay more than Italy. It is
because the American capitalists look
to fascism as means to fighting the
workers and farmers in Europe, and
eventually here, that they have treated
Mussolini so well.
IS. The Workers (Communist)
Party declares that the settlement
Of the international debts is an in
soluble problem for the capitalists.
These debts can only be settled thru
the victory of the workers and farm
ers in the various capitalist coun-
tries and the cancellation Of all In
ternational debts. The Workers
(Communist) Party will fight
against any attempts to place the
burdens growing out of the debt
funding by the American govern
ment upon the workers and farmers.

Unemployment

TN many industries such as textile
l mining, and the clothing industr.
there is widespread unemployment to
day. Periodically capitalist industr,
throws millions Of workers out OF Jobs
Capitalist industry must be compelled
to carry the burden of maintaining the
unemployed workers out OF the profit:
Of the capitalists.
IL. The workers and farmers must
fight for legislation compelling the
capitalists to pay wages to the work
ers to whom they cannot give en-
ployment. money to be raised thru
contributions to an unemployment
fund out of the capitalists profits,
the fund to be administered by the
trade unions.
