In each capitalist country the $50

Norman Thomas, candidate of the
Socialist Party for president, calls
the Kellogg scheme "if sincerely
meant, and followed up, an impress

opinion on the side of peace" Ram
say Macdonald, head of the Social
Democrats of England, also gave his
endorsement of this war vancouver
of the imperialist Kellogg. The So
cialist Party of the United States,
like the so-called socialist parties Of
all Europe, endorse the League of
Nations, which is the capitalist in
ternational, fighting and slandering
the Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics, psychologically preparing
such workers as may be under its
influence to support the imperialist
United States government in its
coming war to destroy the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics.
A Different World from that of 1914
The coming war, however, will
break upon a world vastly different
from the world of 1914, a world
much more favorably situated for
the transformation of imperialist
war into revolutionary war for the
liberation of the masses. Today the
revolutionary struggle will begin
with one-sixth part of the earth al
ready in the possession of the re-
evolutionary working class. The
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics
is the great stronghold of the work
ing class of the world and of all
peoples oppressed by Imperialism.
Bolshevism Against Imperialists
In the midst of the World War
of 1914, one revolutionary section of
the working class, led by the Boil
shevik (Communist) Party of Rus
STA raised the slogan, Transform
the imperialist war between nations
into revolutionary civil war be-
tween classes" The Communists
carried this slogan into action, and
the greatest victory in the history
of the working class resulted.
This time when the imperialists
precipitate the masses into bloody
slaughter, worker against worker,
peasant against peasant, each bat
Ting for the sordid interests of his
own oppressors again the slogan
will ring through the world: work
ers and farmers, defeat your own
capitalist government; transform the
imperialist war between nations in
to civil war between the classes
war for freedom"
In 1914 the treacherous action of
the Social Democratic leaders de-
stroyed the Second international and
plunged the working class of all
leading capitalist nations into a
bloody war for the benefit of the
capitalists. Since then the Social
Democratic parties have been the
decisive factor in defeating the work.
ing class in every case where the
workers revolted against capitalism.
The Socialist leaders support the
"black international" of capitalism,
the league of nations.
Communist International.
conditions in which the true revolu-
tionary workers movement is crys-
tallized in all countries by the Com
munist international, steeled in the
fires of revolution and trained in the
struggle by it's leading section, the
Bolshevik Communist Party of the
Soviet Union. The working class of
the various countries can never again
be isolated by the ruling class as
it was in the past war. And the
workers in the next war will, in all
countries, have before their eyes the
great example Of the successful pro-
letarian revolution of 1917 to give
them confidence, and the living So
cialist Fatherland for which to fight
against their imperiallst oppressors.
The Workers (Communist) Party,
the American section of the Com
munist international is the only
party in this country that really
fights imperialist war.
Not Pacifist Party.
The Workers (Communist) Party
is not pacifist party. 1t is not
against all wars. The Communists
everywhere struggle for the aboli-
ton of the capitalist system which
breeds war. The only way to get
rid Of war is to overthrow the CAPT
talist system of exploitation and
tyranny, and to establish new
system, free Of exploitation and of
man by man, system without
classes and class rule. The Com
munists supports all wars of liberia
ton. The Communists support the
heroic army of Nicaraguans now
