On United States Imperialism

The following speech was de-
hvered by COmrade John Pepper
at the Sixth World Congress of
the Communist International. 1t
analyses the position of American
capitalism and the nature of the
sharpening class struggle in the
United States.
(Continued.)
I consider it my duty to cite one
outstanding example of the fight of
the American Party against Right
dangers I think it is not without
significance that the document which
accuses the c. E. c. of the Ameri-
can Party of constituting a Right
wing, that this document does not
contain one single word about the
most important, the fundamental err
ror the American Party ever COM
mitted. The Right-wing error 1 am
referring to is contained in the cleo
ton platform of 1924. The same
comrades who accuse the American
Party of being a Right-wing party
had the leadership of the Central
Executive Committee of the Ameri-
can Party in 1924. These comrades
are therefore fully responsible for
the policies of the election platform
of 1924. This election platform reads
as follows:

BY MARTIN ABERN

International Youth Day comes
at an appropriate time this year.
The day set aside by the handful of
revolutionary youth during the bit
ter and black days of 1916-1917, as
a day Of demonstration against i'm
perialist war, occurs this year amid
smoke screens of false and mislead-
ing "peace" pacts and the militarist
preparations that forebode a new
imperialist war.
While these war preparations are
proceeding apace, and new betrayals
are being planned by the socialists
and labor misleaders, it is necessary
to tell and retell the story of the
days that gave birth to Interna-
tional Youth Day and to point out
the significance of the occasion.
The outbreak of the world war of
1914-1918 tore the corrupt abodies
of the entire socialist movement to
bits. The sores that had festered
for years were burst open by the
terrific catastrophe. The labor and
revolutionary movement of Europe
in particular was exposed as a body
poisoned by the agents of i'm
perialism within its ranks. 1t was
slow poison, administered for
years before the war, and nurtured
by the small brides and special
privileges granted the aristocracy
Of labor by their imperialist mas
ters.
Collapse of Reformists.
Only a small section of the revo-
lutionary movement rose to the sit
uation properly. The only elements
that opposed the imperialist war
were the Russian Bolsheviks. the
Italian socialist leadership Maxi
milists), the Rumanian and Bull
garian left wingers, and varied
groups in the Scandinavian and
other countries; and, significantly,
the young socialist movement added
it's voice to the militant denunciation
Of the socialist" traitors who were
acting as agents for the kaisers,
czars, bankers and business mag
mates in recruiting cannon fodder

among the working class and pea
santry.
The revolutionary youth were
among the first to reestablish inter-
national working class connections.
The miserable collapse of the second
international only served to brighten
by comparison the splendid work of
the revolutionary youth center which
was established in Switzerland.
The youth bureau in Berne, with
its periodical, "The Youth Interna-
tional," received the closest and
warmest collaboration of the exiled
Russian Bolsheviks. Some of the
most noteworthy contributions on
Imperialism, war, socialist jingoism
and the like, by such men as Lenin,
Bucharin, Zinoviev, Trotsky, Kol-
lontai and other Russian revolu-
tionaries of the time could be found
in the pages of the youth Interna-
tional." And this collaboration
was a fruitful ole in more than one
respect, for the articles of Lenin in
particular helped to burn away the
last remnants of pacifist and petty
bourgeois illusions that still lowered
over the revolutionary youth ele-
ments who were so anxiously and
bravely striving to struggle against
imperialism, the war, and the social
patriots.
Set Aside Youth Week
1t was while the trenches were
flowing with working class blood, to
the chants of praise sung by the
Socialist" renegades, that the youth
bureau in Berne issued a call to the
revolutionary young workers and
peasants throughout Europe to set
aside the first week in September
1915 for broad, militant demonstra-
tions against the imperialist war
and the treason of the social demo-
Gratis. The voice Of the revolution
airy youth was the first on q

Also the Workers of the Whole
World Have Reason to Be
Proud of the Red Army,
Mr.. BRAND!

The Daily Worker has received from Gen.
eva wireless telegram of the international
Press Correspondence which reads as fol.
lows:
'The speech of Aristide BRAND to the
League of Nations Assembly contain
some passages that are extremely inter
esting and which show the possibilities
of the League of Nations as a rallying
point for the united imperialist front for
war against the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics.
BRAND denied that ornaments have
increased since the inception of the
League of Nations, and continued:
''There is one country which is no member
of the League of Nations and where
ments with regard to both men and material
are increasing, and which is proud of this
fact.
This country is prepared to make theatre
cal gestures for disarmament, and demands
disarmament complete and absolute. This
country has signed the Paris pact 1t re-
nounces What war? Past war which
has spotted with blood all the pages of human
history? Or war which led one people pursu-
ing national aspirations to attack other peo-
pie? This war is damned, but there is another
This other form of war to be holy for
this people and leads it to misuse its power
everywhere. The effects of such war are not
less bloody for peoples. If the delegates here
failed to realise this truth they would not be
doing their duty. l speak not to create him
ORANGES but in order to show that certain fears
justified"
Other dispatches published in the capital
ist newspapers here fully bear out the in
depreciation of the French foreign minis
ter's speech as one directed toward consoli-
dating the imperialist forces of the world for
concerted military action against the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics, and using the
League Of Nations as the base for counter
revolutionary war against the peoples of
France, Germany, England and other coun-
tries in the expected revolutionary working
CLASS upheavals accompanying the outbreak
of imperialist war. This is the correct con-
ception of the League of Nations. BRAND is
merely trying to develop more frank ex-
preston of the essential character of the
League of Imperialists which has been half
concealed under Wilsonian hypocrisy. The
half-conceament of this imperialist charac-
ter has been necessary in the past to enable
the social-democratic flunkeys of the imper-
ialists to dupe the working class into sup
port of the League of Imperialists. But in
the complex maneuvres of European govern
ments against one another, the Poincare gov
eminent felt that the sentimental hog-wash
was being used against the particular inter
ests OF, French capitalist Imperialism. This
is interestingly brought out by the TEMPS
(the semi-official organ of the French gov
ernment), which says:
THE Minister of Foreign Affairs has said
all that should be said at this moment when
there is being carried a certain campaign
which tends to give completely false note
to the current peace efforts"
