The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-06-25
By Fred Ellis

Chinese workers and peasants, who
are engaged in a bitter struggle
against the exploiters, feel the bloody
hand of American imperialism.
All over the world the imperialists
of the United States are fighting
against the competition of imperialists
of other countries. The policy of
American imperialism is to drive the
other imperialist powers out of the
markets of the world. The result is a
sharpening of the antagonisms be-
tween the imperialist powers. This
aggressive imperialist policy of the
United States is leading into new
world war.
The next world war will be on a
more gigantic, on a more costly, and
on a more deadly scale than the war
we have just experienced. Linked up
with the question of the breaking out
of new imperialist war is the forma-
ton of block of imperialist nations
against the Soviet Union. We enter
this campaign fully aware of the great
danger of war facing the working
class of this. country and every other
country.
Our party is an international party,
our party fight imperialist wars, our
party joins hands with the workers
and toilers of all countries in defense
of the exploited and toiling masses
everywhere and we declare that in the
event of war we will utilize the war
to mobilize the workers, to mobilize
the farmers, to mobilize the masses
to make the war the burial ground for
capitalism not only in this country
but in every country in the world
(applause)
War VS.. Soviet Union.
In connection with the subject of
war against the Soviet Union, it is
interesting to note that relative to the
Kellogg proposal the French govern
ment declares with the British gov
eminent that the proposals against
wars must be considered as proposals
not including the Soviet Union.
What does this mean? It means
that the imperialists have in mind a
war against the Soviet Union. This
war has actually started. Encouraged
by the hostile attitude of the imperial
lists against the Soviet Union paid for
by the imperialists, the counter-revo-
luton has attempted to raise its head
inside the Soviet Union.
Imperialist Conspiracy.
The affair of the Donetz basin is
only one initial step on the part of the
Iimperialists to undermine the econ
omic machine of the Soviet Union, so
that the Soviet Union will not be able
to supply it's workers and farmers
with the materials of war in order to
Withstand the attacks of the imperial
lists. Already it is to the credit of our
government of the Soviet Union that
lit nipped this conspiracy in the bud,
that the counter-revolution is crushed.
We, members of the international pro-
letariat, members Of the exploited
masses of the world, of the Communist
Party and the Communist Interna-
tional, declare in the event of an at
tack, of war against the Soviet
Union, we will defend our country, the
Soviet Union. (applause). We will
do everything in our power to rout the
Iimperialist enemies and bring about
ths-pietery--ef the Red Army.
We of the Workers (Communist)
Party declare, to the enemies of the
working class and to the capitalist
government, that the objective of the
revolutionary party of the working
class is the overthrow of the capitalist
system Of society.
