reads: "In time of war, all French
men and those under French admin
istration, regardless of age or sex,
and all legal organizations must
take part in the defense of the coun-
try, or in the maintenance of its ma
terial and moral life" This infa-
nous law was introduced by none
ether than Paul Boncour, socialist
deputy, and was passed by 500 dep
uties, with the sole opposition of
the 80 Communist deputies. An
ether betrayal to add to the long
list of crimes committed against
the working class by the interna-
tional social democracy.
The American Federation of In
dustrial Women, one of the most
reactionary of the notorious bour-
geois women's patriotic societies,
announces that it intends to push
to the utmost in congress legislation
to organize regiments of women's
militia, in every state of the union
as auxiliary to the National Guard.
They outlined a program in an in
terview with a representative of the
United Press covering full plans for
uniform training and cooperative
war role In the national defense.
Socialist Organizations.
Arlthar movement leading d.
rectly to the same goal is that of
the pacifist women's organizations,
operating under the cloak of So
cial democracy as well as under
one bourgeois pacifist control. These
organizations, which come forward
under the slogan of "peace pacts"
and similar fake maneuvers, aim to
instill illusions into the minds of
the masses of the workers to par
alyze their fight against imperialist
war, to help prepare for war under
the guise of peace.
In the fatherland of the working
class, the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics, woman has, for the first
time in the history of civilization"
achieved the beginning of real equal
| ity. In the Soviet Union women
workers can at last stand upright
beside the men workers on basis of
economic equality, equal pay for
equal work of political and social
recognition and equality. Upon the
working men and working women
of the whole world rests the defense
of the Soviet Union. During this
time of preparation for imperialist
war and direct onslaught on Soviet
Russia, we proletarian women must
be conscious of our role. Every i'm
perialist war is primarily a war
against the toiling masses. 1t abol-
ishes all CELEBRITIES" 1t strength
ems immensely the apparatus of ex-
ploitation. 1t increases the terror
of the government against the work
ers.
Campaign Against Communists.
The war which the imperialists
are preparing against the Soviet
Union at the present time, under
the direct leadership and provoca-
ton of the British Empire, will be
war against the liberation and
emancipation of the international
working class, against Communism.
The first step which points in
that direction is the attempt to des-
troy srd exterminate in all the i'm
perialist countries the most advanced
and active section of the proletarian
masses-the Communists. This is
clearly shown in the increased at
tacks of the imperialists on the
Communist Parties, in the murder
of Communists, as in fascist Italy,
in Rumania, Bulgaria, Poland and
China.
The Chinese women during the
J Chinese revolution and during the
present struggle against the vicious
/
nationalist rule of the traitor, Chi
ang-Kai-Shek, have played a heroic
part in spreading Communist pro-
paganda among the Chinese workers
and amongst the soldiers OF the
English and other enemy forces.
Can the working women be in
active in the face of an imminent
war and increased terrorizatior
against the working class? Women
workers must awaken in this crisis
and take up the struggle against
imperialism and the war danger
Glass duty, class interest, class de-
termination must unite us into
mighty proletarian army ready t.
fight for the interests of the work
ing class against imperialist wa
and to defend the Soviet Union from
the attacks of the capitalist powers
