this sense the struggle against a
war cannot be separated from thel
class struggle. On the contrary, this
struggle against war is part of
the general proletarian struggle for,
the overthrow of the bourgeoisie.
In its position toward imperialist
war, and its vanguard, the Com
war, the proletariat,. and its van
guard, the Communist Party, starts
from the understanding that every
imperialist war is war against the
working class, against the toiling
masses. AS regards war against
the Soviet Union, such war is tx
imperialist war par excellence
against the workers of all countries
and against Communism all over the
world. A war against Soviet Russia
is clear class wa. In every i'm
perialist war the workers in each
country work for the defeat of their
home government, for the transfer
nation of the imperialist war into
q proletarian civil war against the
bourgeoisie for the purpose of es-
tablishing a dictatorship of the pro-
letariat of Socialism. In the war
against the Soviet Union, which is
an open bourgeoisie counter revolu-
tionary class war against the pro-
letariat, the proletariat not only
fights for the defeat of its own i'm
perialist government but actively
supports and fights to secure the
victory of the Soviet Government,
to secure victory to the Red Army
which is not an enemy army but
the army of the international pro-
letariat against Imperialism.

form these tasks for the American
bourgeoisie.
The same shameful role is played
by small groups of renegades of
Communism beginning with Brand
Ter and Trotsky, who continue their
propaganda against Soviet Russia,
Thermidor propaganda, trying to
convince the workers of the world
that there is no longer a proletarian
dictatorship in Russia, which can
only mean that if the imperialists
attack the Soviet Union the workers
of the world have othing to do
with the Soviet Union. This counter
revolutionary Thermidor propa-
ganda is being spread in the United
States by handful of Trotskyites
in their orgsl "The Militant" OBJ
jectively the same counter revolu-
tionary character is assumed by the
propa Sanda of Love .one against the
Communist International, the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union.
In a period of imminent danger of
war against the Soviet Union Love-
stones propaganda about the ode
generation" of the c. l., about the
"runnip sore" in the Soviet Union
Party and in the Communist Inter
national, is nothing less than coun-
ter revolutionary propaganda direct

country are calling upon the workers
not to demonstrate against imperi-
alism on August LIST. By this they
show their true role. Precisely at
the time when the international pro-
letariat is organizing worldwide
demonstrations against imperialist
war and for the defense of the So
Wet Union they are busy spreading
defeatist propaganda trying to dis
rupt the forces of the proletariat
and disarm them in their struggle
against the war. Practically the
same position is assume, by Love-
stone and his followers in the fac
tional documents that they are
spreading throughout the Party.
Their answer to the Party's appeal
to the American working class to
organize and strike on August LIST,
is to call it empty talk" and to
spread propaganda against h e
strike on International Red Day,
thus treacherously attempting to
break the proletarian ranks and re-
vealing the same defeatist attitude
as the Trotskyites.
6. In spite of all provocations on
the part of world imperialism the
Soviet Government has demon
strated time and again that it is
determined to follow peace policy.
The aim of this policy is to protect
the work of building up Socialist
economy in the U. S. S. R., the pro-
gress of which is revolutionizing the
world. The Five-Year-Plan of the
Social Industrialization of the coun-
try, adopted by the Soviet Govern
ment, is a new and decisive step in
the direction of the construction of

openly announced their intention of
turning the share in the manage
ment and administration of the rail-
way held by representatives Of the
Soviet Government, into the hands
of Russian White Guardists. 1t is
clear that the Chinese hirelings Of
world imperialism acted as agents
of a counter revolution and not as
agents of the Chinese masses. jap
anese imperialism already controls
the Southern part of the railway.
Japan has dominant influence in
Manchuria, which is practically its
economic colony. Thus the seizure
of the Chinese Eastern Railway, far
from being an act on behalf of the
Chinese masses, is not only an act
in behalf of the counter deveolution-
airy White Guardists of Russia but
on behalf of imperialism.
8. The Government which began
this attack on the workers and peas
ants of the Soviet Union, this So
called Marking Government headed
by Chang Kai-Shek is a government
of the counter revolutionary Chin
csc bourgeoisie which has already
drowned in a sea of workers blood
the first wave of the Chinese revo-
luton. The Marking Government
represents the most reactionary
strata of the Chinese bourgeoisie,
that is, the big landed interests, the
so-called compradores - merchant
capital linked up with aggressive
foreign capital in China, and the
new industrial bourgeoisie of China

wholesale murder goes on in an eff
fort to stop the strikes and demon

garia the Communists are forcibly
suppressed and all the leaders are

social democratic assassins of the
working class whose comrades and
teachers murdered Liebknecht and

against imperialism and war, have
issued edicts against working class
demonstrations. In Britannia, that

To cap the infamy of the social

world that it takes "great satisfac-

in the August LIST demonstrations.
This offensive of the entire capt.

Today, fifteen years after the out
break of the world war, the revolu-
tionary masses of the world chal-
lenge the imperialists who are driv-
ing forward to another world war.
The war against the Soviet Union
has actually begun, the imperialists
using as the spearhead of the attack
the blood streaked hireling govern
ment of Chang Kai Ehek. The
growing response of the working
masses to the call of the Communist
international to set aside August 1
as a day of struggle against imper-
ialist war has forced the capitalist
governments of the most powerful
states to try to conceal their war
preparations under the most hypo-
critical pretenses. Secretary of
State Stimson reminds" China and
the Soviet Union that they are sig
natories to the Kellogg pact only
as an excuse to try to mobilize the
powers against the workers and
peasants government with the
American imperialism at the head
of the interventionists. The hireling
government of China, under instruc-
lions of its imperialist masters, ap-
peals to their own league of ma
lions against the Soviet Union, as
an excuse for intervention on the
part of the vassal military states
bordering the Soviet Union on the
west.
Meanwhile there continue the I'M
demanded diplomacy, the intrigues
of capitalist statesmen, the rational
ization of the armed forces, the COM
petitive race in ornaments and the
terrific speed-up, wage cuts, length
ening of hours, and the resultant
unemployment of masses of work.
ers. Middle aged and old men are
thrown upon the industrial scrap

everywhere, especially in the United
States, is so organized that in a
few hours it can be placed upon a

are accompanied by an increase of
capitalist terror against the work

gle against war.

direction of struggle against the
workers and peasants of China. The
Chang Kai-Shek Government has
earned the hatred of the masses and
the confidence of the imperialist
masters by its role as hangmen of
ths Chi-v-e workers and peasants
and as the tool of the imperialists.
9. Every war is but a continuation
of class politics by other means.
Therefore, as pointed out in the res
olution of the Eighth Plenum of the
E. C. c. l., "The proletariat must
carefully study the historical and po-
litical class meaning of each given
war and give special study to the
role of the ruling class in all the
countries participating in the war
from the viewpoint of the interna-
tional proletarian revolution" The
proletariat takes no pacifist position
as regards the war. The proletariat
must know that war is inseparable
from capitalism, that IS, the "aboll-
ton" of war is possible only thru
abolition of capitalism, that is thru
the overthrow of the bourgeoisie by
armed uprising and proletarian wars
against the bourgeoisie. The pro-
letariat is for a class war of the
toiling masses against the oppres-
sors, for revolutionary war for So
cialism. 1t supports also the ma
tional revolutionary wars against
Imperialism, which are part of the
proletarian world revolution. In an
imperialist war, and especially in
the war of imperialism against the
Soviet Republic, the proletariat
takes the position of the defeat of
it's home capitalist government. In

August I, International Red Day---a Turning
Point IN the History of the Class Struggle

In spite of the military rule es-
tablished by the project of police
the working class sections of Paris
will pour forth hundreds of thou
sands in the streets. In Vienna the
masses will defy the social-demo-
cratic police. In Berlin the veteran
fighters in the revolutionary forces,
at the head of the working masses
will strike and demonstrate in spite
of the orders of the social demo-
cratic chief of police. In Hamburg
the workers will down tools and
fill the streets that have run red
with working class blood in many
risings since the world war. In
London, Lanarkshire and other
places the workers will defy the
Macdonald agents of Imperialism.
Everywhere the masses will hurl de-
fiance at their oppressors.
And here in the United States the
workers in every center will observe
this day with great mass demonstra-
tions. In New York City the work
ers will down tools at four o'clock
and march to Union Square where
the main demonstration will be held
against imperialist war and in de-
tense of the Soviet Union.
This day will mark the decisive
turning point where the workers
take the offensive in the struggle
against the imperialist war-mongers

socialized industry and Socialized
agriculture. The Soviet Government
continued disarmament proposals
and its adherence to the Kellogg
Pact aimed to expose empty paci-
fist slogans and to destroy the il
lusions of the possibility "to out
law war" and for complete disarm-
ament in capitalist society.
7. The Soviet Governments policy
was best demonstrated by the pol
icy of friendship and peace toward
China in spite of all provocations.
1t has renowned all rights growing
out of the imperialist treaties made
by Czarist Russia; it gave up all
extra-te-ritorial rights in China; it
assigned it's share of the Boxer in
demnity to educational purposes in
China and renowned all maintenance
of troops in China. The Chinese
Government, basing itself upon the
defeated White Guardists, remnants
of Kolchack and other murderers OF
the Russian workers, wanted to ex-
plot this attitude of the Soviet
Union in order to seize control of
the Chinese Eastern Railway and to
transform it into a base of opera
tons of the counter revolutionary
murderers against the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Government made the
agreement of 1924 for Russian Chi
nese operation of the railroad as a
measure to prevent the railroad fall
ing into the hands of Japanese i'm
perialism and Russian counter rev.
olution. Even now Chang Kali
