new air fleets and greater navies,
manufacture of munitions of war
on an unprecedented scale, propa-
ganda of nationalism and imperial
ism through every channel of cap
italist influence, the schools, the
churches, press, movies, radio.
Hypocritical Peace Moves.
While preparing for war the cap
italist powers seek to delude the
masses with gestures of peace.
Peace pacts, arbitration treaties,
leagues Of nations, world courts,
disarmament conferences, pacifist
congresses, are heaped on each other
in an effort to throw a smoke screen
over the imperialist war prepara-
tions.
The imperialist war plans are
maturing rapidly. The new Amer
lean empire has thrown aside the
mask. Wall Street openly and
brazenly dictates to Washington
and the world. Morgan, Lamont,
Morrow, Young and their lackeys of
the house of Morgan, represent Wall
Street and Washington at the repair
atoms conference, at Geneva, in
China, in Japan, Mexico and Europe,
and extend the rule of the mailed
fist and the Yankee dollar to every
corner of the world.
Communists Appeal to Women.
On May Day, 1929, the Commun-
list Party sends out call especially
to the women of the working class,
to millions of toiling women, shaving
for a mere pittance in the factories
and workshops of America, borne
down by poverty and drudgery in the
home. Working women are the
worst sufferers under capitalist i'm
perialism. They are the cheap and
easy objects of exploitation in cap
italist mass production with its
speed-up, low wages and long hours.
They are being drawn into heavy
industry to replace men workers.
And in time of war they are forced
to man the factories and produce
the munitions and materials of war.
Mothers as well as workers, the
working women in America today,
along with their labor in the shop,
must bear and rear the children of
the working class, must see their
little ones starve in time of strike
or unemployment, must bring them
up in the hideous slums that capital
ism gives the working class for
homes, must see them driven into
the factories and conscripted for
capitalist wars. The women of the
working class suffer as mothers as
well as workers from the hideous ex-
ploitation of capitalism, and from
war, the inevitable accompaniment
of capitalist imperialism.
Organize Against War Danger.
The imperialists today are trying
to delude the women workers with
false hopes of peace. Through the
schools, the churches, end the pac-
fist women's organizations they try
to make working women believe that
peace is possible and that the cap
italist world is striving for peace.
This hollow sham must be exposed
by working women, They must or
ganize for bitter and determined
struggle against the war danger,
must penetrate the workshops and
the homes with the message Of the
class struggle, must rouse the
masses of the working women to a
realization Of the impending danger
and determination to fight it.
Working women must organize,
must build the new unions, must
build nuclei, especially in the factor
les and plants manufacturing war
material, must prepare for the
moment when they are called to man
these factories in wartime, must
make ready side by side with the
men workers to crush the hideous
capitalist system under it's own war
machine and build a new workers
society free from war and exploit
tation.
Rally to Communist Movement.
On May Day, 1929, working
women must rally to the banner Of
the Communist International, the
world organization of the working
class, which is the only force able
to meet and fight against world i'm
perialism and world war. American
working women! Join the Commun-
list International, born out of the last
world war to organize the working
class against the next world war!
Join its American section, the Com
