this reason the question of the Soviet
Union and China is of extreme eco
nomic Importance for the imperial
lists.
While European capitalism (espe-
cially French and Germany is rapidly
increasing its productive forces on
the whole, British imperialism is la
boring under a chronic depression, de-
spite the frantic efforts at stabiliza-
ton being made in the country itself.
Faced with the necessity of compel
ing with the Continent of Europe and
with the United States of America,
and threatened by the colonial move
ments in the East, British imperial
ism naturally becomes the leader of
the reactionary imperalist forces.
4. The economic sterilization,
which is unfolding its profound in
ternal contradictions and intensity
ing the class struggle (Great Britain,
Austria, etc. is accompanied by the
simultaneous political consolidation Of
the bourgeoisie. The series of Fas-
cist upheavals, the formation of the
bourgeois bloc" in Germany and its
consolidation, the firmer establish
ment of the reactionary government
in France, the rule of the "die- hare"
Conservatives in Great Britain, the
consolidation of the ruling classes in
Poland, the present collapse of the
coalition governments in Europe, are
all factors which promote the aggres-
sive policy towards the Soviet Union.
for they increase the basis Of the eco
nomic and general class antagonists
between the Soviet Union and the i'm
perialist powers encircling it.
5. The change in the relations be-
tween the State of the proletariat and
imperialism has been promoted to a
great extent by the growth of the
Soviet Union itself, by its economy,
its state power, its education and or
ganization of the broad masses of the
workers, and it's international reNolu-
tionary Importance. The system of
socialist foreign trade monopoly, pro-
testing the interests of the Soviet
Union as exporter, securing the
growth of socialist production, and
preventing the Soviet Union from be-
ing transformed into an agrarian ap-
pendage supplementing the economic
"hinterland" of world capitalism; the
policy of the industrialization of the
country, pursued on the same lines;
the collapse of the hopes set on the
internal degeneration of the econom-
les and political superstructure of the
Soviet Union; the collapse of the il
lusions of the imperialists with re-
spect to the so-called peaceful pene-
tration" of imperialism into every
pore of our economics; and finally,
the mighty revolutionary influence of
the Soviet Union China, Great Brit
ain)-all these are highly important
facts which have called forth, and
continue to call forth, growing ag-
gressiveness on the part of counter
revolutionary Imperialism.

of the men who sold themselves and
all that their life means to them by

Humanitarian Bunk.
Another popular poster shows a
major general comforting an S. P.
C. A. medal on a private in the army
for saving IL bosses lives. Such
humanitarian hypocrisy should make
clear enough to the workers that this
sentimental advertising covers more
sinister deeds committed by the
armed forces such as killing Chinese
workers.
Planned Blood Baths.
Another picture speaking for the
coast artillery corps has large gun
belching forth its terrorizing, destruc-
tive death-dealing missile. This photo
has a caption, "Join Us!" How sin
cere and clear is the motive of ask
ing workers to "join us ?" Such pic
ture could easily be termed the adj
vance agent for death, destruction,
famine and pestilence. And to think
this is the role of the war depart
ment, eminating from our own
government of the people," They
say "join u.s." but we wonder where
the war department leaders and the
bankers and employers they represent
will be when the joining time comes.
The government appeals to the lowest
barbarian instinct within man, when
it asks young workers to participate
in well-planned blood baths for work
ers. The young workers of America
should answer this insult with the i'm
mediate organization of the working
class youth to combat the plans of
the bosses who want to fake the
young workers into another war for
profits.

This is the Ninth Installment of
the Theses on the war danger adopted
at the Plenum of the Executive Com
mittee of the Communist International
on May 90, 1927. It gives the official
Communist viewpoint on this impor-
taDt-aaestion.
81, Consequently the possibilities
for fighting against war at the pres
ent time are very much greater than
they were in 1914-1918.
The following are the deductions
for the Communist Parties:
A. In the imperialist war, par ex-
cellence, against China or the Soviet
Union lin perspective), the workers
in the capitalist countries, engaged
in that war should be for the defeat
of their own capitalist government
just as in every imperialist war.
B. If in an ordinary imperialist
war between two capitalist countries
workers must declare themselves in
favor. of the defeat Of their govern
ments, in the imperialist and counter
revolutionary wars, par excellence,
against the Chinese Revolution Cat
present Wuhan) or the Soviet Union,
they must actively fight for the vic
tory of the workers of China and the
Soviet Union,
G, The determination slogan adj
vanced by the Bolsheviks to the
soldiers during the imperialist war
holds good also now as one of the
most important slogans of anti-mili-
tarist work among the soldiers and
sailors of the imperialist armies and
fleets. But preserving its signifi-
canoe primarily in war between two
imperialist States, this slogan in the
war of the imperialists against revo-
lutionary China (Wuhan today and
the Soviet Union must be linked up
with the call to the soldiers of the
inperialist armies at the right mo-
ment to join the forces Of the revolu-
ton.
D. The proletariat must do it's ut
most to prevent the imperialists
throttling revolutionary Chin a
Strikes of transport workers and of
workers employed in munitions fac
tories, the general strike, etc.-con-
stitute the means which the interna-
tional proletariat must use in order
to defend revolutionary China and the
Soviet Union.
80. History provides the interna-
tional working class with numerous
examples of Communists fighting
against war. Above all we have the
experience of the Russian Bolsheviks
during the imperialist war in 1914-18;
the enormous experience of the Ger
man Spartacists, the fight put up by
the workers of various countries dur
ing the intervention in Russia in
1918-1919. The sailors mutiny in
Odessa; the experience of the Yugo-
slavian and Austrian comrades who
fought against intervention in Hun
gary in 1919; the Committees of Ac-
ton in Great Britain during the So
viet-Polish war in 1920, the proven
ton by the workers of Great Britain,
Germany and Italy, of the transport
of arms, the guerilla warfare conduc-
ted by the workers and peasants in
the rear of the Polish armies; the ex-
perience in the Ruhr of organizing
illegal work in the army and com
batting the occupation, the experience

builds men. We are supposed to be-
lieve that under the protective arms
of our war department the very best
that is in man is developed. Is any
one man when he is deprived of
every right except that of going into
battle? Is anyone man when he
must lower himself to accept the in
suits of the trained military caste
that comes out of Annapolis and West
Point? The navy builds men. Just
look up the reports of the depart
ment of medicine and surgery and
become familiar with health condi-
tons of the enlisted personnel. The
figures of this report relates the as
founding proportion of men who con-
tract syphilis and gonorrhoea while in
the service. Yes, the navy builds
men. But how?

Communist International
on the International Situation

Resolution passed by the Joint
Plenum of the C. c. and the C. C. c.,
after hearing Comrade Bukharin's
report of the 9th August, 1920
/. The International Situation and
the Soviet Union.
1. The present international situa-
ton is mainly characterized by the
extreme tension in the relations be-
tween imperialist Great Britain and
the proletarian Soviet Union on the
one hand, and the military interven-
ton of imperialism in China on the
other. The danger of a counter-rev-
dictionary war on the Soviet Union
is the acutest question of the present
period. The sharpening Of antagon-
ism to the Soviet Union, and its cap
italist encirclement, are the main ten
denotes of the present period, though
this does not, of course, exclude the
possibility of this or that epoch of a
certain improvement in conditions on
this or that fighting front.
2. This aggravation Of antagonism
originates in the fact of the strength
ening of capitalism.bo in the pure
ly' economic sphere and in the sphere
of politics-in Europe, where it had
been greatly shaken by the war, and
in Japan and the United States, and
in the simultaneous increasing success
of revolutionary constructive social
ism in the Soviet Union, the develop
ment of the peoples revolutioa in
China, the widespread ferment among
the colonial peoples, and the notice
able swing to the Left among the
proletarian masses of Europe. Events
in Great Britain, Red Front Fighters
Day in Germany, Vienna, etc.)
This process of the consolidation of
capitalism, developing amid the gen
eral Reorganization of the postwar
period, causes continually fresh and
increasingly acute antagonisms with
in the capitalist system itself, and
thereby intensifies all imperialist
tendencies to the utmost. Therefore
the so-called Russian" and "Chinese"
questions are the acutest political
questions for international imperial
ism. European imperialism, in the
midst of its sterilization, is concerned
with these questions from two view
points: From the viewpoint of eco
nomic expansion markets, capital in
vestments, sources of raw materially i,
and from the viewpoint of preventive
war against revolution.
8. The economic sterilization of
European capitalism is being accom-
panied at the present time by its rad
ical reconstruction (rapid growth of
BE trusts and other combines, techni-
cal reorganization of production by
means Of new machinery, new metals,
in part new raw materials, introduce
-lsol Of the conveyor, etc.. At the
same time a remarkable adjustment
of industry to war may be observed,
whereby the chemical industry is COM
ing more and more to the front to-
gether with the metal industry. The
extensive investments of capital as
foundation capital causes a great in
crease in the productive capacity of
the industrial apparatus, and the home
markets being entirely inadequate,
he question Of foreign markets and
oreign spheres of investment becomes
lore and more acute. Precisely for
