ming the struggle against the cap
italist offensive into a counter-of
fensive. The great struggles in
Poland and Germany (Lodz and the
Ruhr), the strikes in France and
Czechoslovakia, the bitter struggles
in the textile centers in the South
OF this country all point unerringly
to the rehabilitation of large strata
of the working class and insure the
possibility of the carrying out of
the tasks of mobilizing for Interna-
tional Red Day against imperialist
war.
The Glorious Record of Nav Day.
The proletariat Of Berlin, I'M
armed and facing the well-equipped
ranks of the social-democratic police,
wrote glorious page in the history
of the international revolutionary
movement. The barricades of We'd
ding and Neukolln are a warning to
the bourgeoisie and a promise to
the international proletariat that the
masses of Germany, steeled in years
OF revolutionary struggle will in the
near future be able to respond to
an Immediately revolutionary stu
alton. Already, in the recent factory
elections the Communists of Ger
many have shown that they are
rapidly gaining influence over the
masses of workers, and will soon
realize the pre-condition for revolu-
tion, the winning of the working
masses to the banner of Commun-
ism.
In this connection the words con-
tanned in the appeal of the West
European Bureau of the Communist
International in Connection with the
Berlin Events" are prophetic:
''On the barricades at Weddinga
and Neukolln there was raised the
banner of revolutionary interna-
tionalism, which shall be the signal
for the fight of the working class
and the toilers of other countries
for international Red Day against
war on the LIST of August. The
Berlin proletariat has given the
signal for such action for Inter-
national Red Day 1t will be
the turning point in the interna-
tional labor movement for the 60
ing over of the proletariat to the
cOunter-attack on the international
front against world capital. This
day of fight against war must CO.
ordinate the separate skirmishes
of the working class into a coun.
ter-offensive."
Must Hold Greatest Demonstration
in America.
Here in America, the citadel of
imperialist despotism, the Commu-
mist Party must utilize to the fullest
possible measure the opportunities
for the greatest nationwide demon
stration that has taken place since
the last war. Let no one on this oc-
casion be guilty of the opportunist
subterfuge of talking about Amer
lean exceptionalism, proclaiming
that, while such demonstrations can
take place elsewhere, there is no
base for them here. Most important
for the successful carrying out of
the task of mobilizing for Interna-
tional Red Day is the merciless ex-
termination of all right-wing and
conciliatory tendencies; relentless
fight against any form of passivity.
There are but a few remaining
weeks to perfect the plans for the
carrying out Of demonstrations and
strikes in this country. Less than
five weeks remain for the fulfillment
of this important task. Although
there has been certain delay in get
ting our campaign under way, we
still have sufficient time to mobilize
tremendous forces for the fight
against war.
This campaign must be closely
bousd up with the everyday strug-
