Prevent Further
MutiIation.

Comrades and
Fellow Workers:

After years heroic struggle Of
the Passaic textile workers, the mill
barons were forced to submit to a
union in the textile industry Of Pas
sale. They are however putting OBJ
stacles in the way of maintaining
such an organization. Although the
strike is almost over, they are taking
the workers back very slowly, with
the result that thousands of families
are without means Of existence. Their
children are hungry.
There are many families whose sole
supporters were sent to Jail for long
periods because Of their activities in
the strike. You must come to their
rescue. Relief must 20 on with full
speed!

the contrary they are exploited as
numerically as workers in some
colonial countries. The home struc-
ture of American imperialist CAPT
talism is therefore torn across by
geat contradiction. Not only have
the workers referred to no interest
in the imperialist ventures of Wall
Street and Washington-fraught, in
cidentally, with the constant menace
Of wars--but they are themselves
obliged to engage in desperate encoun-
tiers with the ruling class. Examples
are the various great struggles in
the coal industry and the present
long -drawn-out strike Of the Passaic
textile workers.
Even the masses of heavily ex-
plotted workers whom we have been
considering are of course without
real consciousness of their detectives.
Most of them are unorganized, while
the organized sections-notably the
miners-are preyed upon by an off
cialdom which is rotten to the core.
Nevertheless a militant left wing has
sprung up and is spreading through
out the American Labor movement.
The conscious left wing is still small
but it is growing steadily and already
it has a number Of important sue
cesses to its credit.
We of the All-American Anti-lm-
perialist League, have received our
chief support in the United States
from the small left wing of the
workers political and trade union
movement. 1t has been a reliable
support because it is based upon in
terests which are identical with those
Of the colonial and semi-colonial peo-
pies oppressed by American imper-
ialism. 1t does not limit itself to
side-issues. 1t does not hesitate be-
fore consideration of loyalty to
American capitalism. The national
ist and MISUNDERSTANDING move
ments in Latin America and the Far
East can reckon upon it and depend
upon it, for it will not fail them.
We in the United States have no
such achievements to record as those
described by our comrade of the pow
erful Minority Movement of Great
Britain. The degree of development
Of the American working class has
not made that possible But ! want
to remind you that it is not so long
since the British workers were even
more imperialistic than the privileged
sections of the American working
class are today. The crisis Of Bril-
fish capitalism has revolutionized
formerly imperialistic workers and
has made them realize that their in
terests are with the oppressed ma.
tons of the British Empire. Attacked
from the outside and from the in
side, the whole structure of British
Imperialism is crumbling. Today
millions of British workers extend
their hands to the revolutionary Chi
nese nationalist movement and tell
the Imperial War Office at London to
go to hell.
Such is the historical line Of devel-
opment. It will be the same in the
United States too. Once the OPP
pressed peoples realize that modern
imperialism is but a stage-the final
stage-of capitalism, they viii know
that although their surest, most
trustworthy allies in the United
States today are limited to the rela-
lively small left wing of the Amer
lean Labor movement, they will one
day include the great body of the
labor movement, and the American
working class as a whole. II
