Union. The more the revolutionary
power of the masses rise, the more
intense become the preparations for
war against the Soviet Union.
The Second international, which
Is a supplementary organization of
the League of Nations to confuse
the masses with pacifist phrases and
to organize an international anti
Bolshevik campaign, has deliberately
placed itself and all its sections at
the disposal of the imperialists in
their preparations for war against
the Soviet Union.
Bourgeois pacifism, which is
chiefly utilized by the Social Democ-
racy, attempts to deceive the masses
by spreading illusions concerning the
possibility of the prevention of war
by disarmament, by committees of
arbitration and by the League of
Nations. The so-called revolution
airy" paeifists also try to detract the
attention of the masses from the
only real way to fight against war,
by propagating individual refusal TO
do military service.
Communists Fight Imperialism.
The only international organiza-
ton of the preletariat which carries
On a revolutionary struggle against
inperialist war is the Communist In
ternational.
In Germany the coalition govern
ment, under the leadership of the
Social Democrats, has entered a new
stage of ornaments with the build
ing of the armored cruisers. With
is Program of National Defense"
the Social Democratic Party of Ger
many has once again declared itself
IN favor of the policy of Aug. a,
1914, in favor of social imperialism.
The bloody terror in the first days
Of May and the series of prohibit
lions issued against revolutionary
organizations and against the revo-
lutionary working class press show
what methods the bourgeoisie and
the Social Democracy in Germany
are using against the working class
movement in this period of prepare
tions for war. The aim of the bour-
eeoisie and the Social Democrats
in attempting to destroy the organ
cations of the revolutionary prole-
tariat, is to break the forces of re-
distance to the threatening war.
The growing reaction in cultural
matters (the Concordat, the censor
ship, etc. and the activities of bour-
gaois class justice thigh treason
trials against editors, the conviction
Of the MAY criminals" etc. also
serve to further the preparations for
war.
Upon the economic field capital
ISM has taken up the offensive
with a view to cutting wages, in
creasing working hours and re-
ducing the unemployment support
in order to be able to hold its own in
the increased competition for world
markets which leads to imperialist
conflicts. The system of compul-
sorry arbitration, the strikebreaking
tactics and the disruption of the re-
fornnists, support the economic prep
arations of the German bourgeoisie
for war.
Most Important Task.
The Party is working to spread
these ideas amongst the broadest
masses of the workers, and for this
purpose it is organizing preparatory
meetings. In the inner-Party dis
cussions and in the mass campaign
to utilize the May events, the Party
has declared the preparations of the
anti-war demonstration to be the
most important task of the immedi-
ate future. The danger of war will
also play a considerable role in the
public meetings held in connection
with the Party Congress and in con
nection with the agitation against
the Magdeburg Congress of the So
cial Democratic Party of Germany
The Party will also utilize the
