Communist Appeal to Fight the New
War Danger Is BroadcGsted to All
Workers and Farmers Organizations

against its exploitation. A situation
like this is direct menace to the
American workers and farmers, and
demands the united action Of the
workers and farmers organizations to
fight it, Those who are exploiting the
peoples of Nicaragua, Mexico and
China and who are now swinging the
United States government into action
because the continuation of their ex-
ploitation is threatened are the very
same elements who are robbing the
workers and farmers of America of
billions every year If war now
breaks out it will be the American
workers and farmers who will be sent
out to fight Wall Streets battles and
to protect Wall Streets investments.
The American workers and farmers
organizations must act Immediately,
the call concludes. "The Workers
Communist Party. calls upon all
labor and farmers organizations to
join in calling a united front confer
ence in every city, and eventually on
a national scale, to fight against
American Imperialism and against the
sacrifice of American lives and wealth
created by workers for Wall Street
investments. It calls upon the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, the Socialist
Party, the Industrial Workers of the
World, and all other labor and farm
ers' organizations to join in with it
calling such united front conferences.
1t calls upon the workers and farmers
everywhere to join in the demand for
the formation Of such united front
of labor"
Copies of this appeal have been sent
to the executive council of the A. F.
of L., to the national executive COM
mittee of the Socialist Party, to the
general executive board of the A. F.
of L. and to the leading committees of
other labor and farmers organiza-
tons.
