Working Women Oppose.
Whether under the cloak Of paci-

did the last. The working women's
organizations are preparing

dictionary move to the limit.

all over the country are also mobil-
izing, under the leadership of the
Workers (Communist) Party of
America to fight Imperialism and
the war danger and first of all to
wage determined struggle against
the bourgeois women's movement,
against imperialist war in support
OF the Soviet Union which is hated
by all imperialisms.
