uation. 1t declared the war danger
constitutes the very cruX of the new
period 1t called upon all sections
to combat this danger and to make
it the center of the whole of our
Communist activity. The lengthy
.hesis prepared by the Congress
brought together the whole strategy
and tactics of Bolshevism in the
struggle against imperialist war, in
the struggle of the colonial peoples
against counter-revolutionary war,
and the struggle against the class
war par excellence, viz, imperialist
war on the Soviet Union.
Congress Showed How.
The Congress not only re-stated
the general strategical and tactical
lines but it did something more. 1t
prepared lengthy detailed resolu-
ton on the methods Of carrying on
anti-militarist activity amongst the
fighting forces in conjunction with
the general political activities of the
Parties. The Congress laid special
stress on the mistake of a number
of Parties which still looked upon
anti-militarist activity as the bust
ness of few specialists.
Date-Aug. 1.
1t is now decided to make Aug. 1
the International Red Day. This
cate separates the Communist cam
paign from the quasi-religious-
racitist meetings of the Social Dem
ocrats, who will have their meet
ings on Sunday, Aug. 4. All Sec
tons of the Communist Interna-
tional are now busy making prep
arations for Aug. 1.
Since the Sixth Congress whole
series of activities have been en-
gagged in, of which the war danger
has occupied the front of the stage.
The Lenin-Liebknecht-L Luxembourg
memorial campaign made the fight
against imperialist war the crux Of
the campaign. All our press, lit
erature distribution and demonstra-
lions took the war danger as the
central issue.
The Sixth Congress also decided
Upon calling an Anti-Fascist Con-
Cress which linked up the war dan
ger with the fight against fascism.
This Congress met in Berlin on
March and was a huge success.
Over $50 delegates came from all
countries. The Importance of this
conference must not be confined to
the conference itself. Before the
meeting numerous meetings, confer
ences for the election of delegates
and demonstrations took place in all
the countries represented. Thus the
war danger was brought home to a
much wider audience than the pure
and simple Party meetings. For eX-
ample, in Norway on March 3 in
Oslo, a conference took place at
tended by 103 delegates represent
ing 10000 workers. In England
France, etc., similar conferences and
demonstrations were held, which
were equally successful. Side by
side with this activity large con-
gress is being prepared by the
League against Imperialism in July
at which Representatives will attend
from all parts of the world The
war question will find prominent
place on the agenda.
Latin-American Bureau.
The Sixth Congress was attended
by a number of delegates who came
from Latin-American countries for
the first time. 1t was decided to
establish a Latin American Bureau.
During the Bolivian-Paraguay dis
pute, and when Hoover of the United
States of America made his diplo-
matte visit to the Latin-American
countries our Bureau was able to
mobilize large demonstrations of
workers against these imperialist
adventures and to raise the war dan
ger before the eyes of thousands of
proletarians.
Our French Party continues, true
to it's traditions, it's excellent work
amongst the soldiers and in the fleet.
On Dec. A, 1928, Comrade Cachin
made great speech which caused a
sensation, and exposed in parliament
the war preparations of the French
imperialists and their allies against
the Soviet Union. This speech was
taken up by our brother Parties.
In Germany our comrades con-
tinue their fight against the new
cruiser building programme of the
Social Democrats and take an active
part in carrying this campaign into
Nhe factory councils and munition
shops. During the conference of the
International Women's League for
Peace and Freedom, held early in
January this year, a number of our
comrades raised the question of the
war danger, the expansion of the
chemical industries and the huge
military preparations now being
carried out by the imperialists.
In Yugoslavia when King Alex
ander on January 10th issued his de-
cree instituting the Supreme Court
with the Defense of the State our
Party caused leaflets to be prepared
and distributed. Hundreds Of ar
rests were made.
In England, consistent press
