THE conclusions to be drawn from
our analysis are:
I That the present period of cap
italist sterilization has run its
course and that new extraordinary
measures to prevent additional de-
moralization and retain such benefits
as have been derived from its past
efforts are being taken by the CAPT
talists and their governments.
. That the new measures have the
further purpose of reducing the
workingclass to status where it can
no longer threaten effectively the
equilibrium Of the system.
9 That the new offensive against
the worl1ingclass inevitably will
produce gigantic new class conflicts
4 THAT the capitalist system has
been able neither to solve the
question Of class relationships or of
markets and sources of raw mater
ials and that the instability of inn
perialist relationships makes the dan
ger of war of first Importance.
< That while the British Trade
Union Bill and the Mussolini Trade
Union Law show the extreme sharp
ness of the struggle in Europe, there
are bound to be repercussions in the
United States some of the effects OF
which are already apparent in the
attack on the coal miners, the in
creasing number of conflicts in the
hitherto stable building trades, etc
We must consider also that recent
supreme court decisions like that in
The Bedford Cut Stone Company case
which outlaws ordinary trade union
activities, and that in the Indiana
polls Street-Carmen's case, (undel
which two union organizers are serv-
ing Jail terms for trying to form q
union) are of fascist character
similar to the British and Italian
measures.
e That the new offensive against
the Chinese liberation movement
and the Soviet Union, and the drive
on the workingclass and its organiza.
tions, are parts of the same cam
paign--trade union struggles and i'm
perialist politics can not be separated
as the Second Internationalists try
to convince workers should be the
case. Where any considerable number
