| must QeVeiop special apparatus
for this task of organization, q
special department and COMMITTEES
for work among women, with propa.
ganda literature and organizational
forms adopted to their needs. Work
ing wemen's delegate conferences
must be built on the basis of factory
circles to draw in unefganized wom=
en- workers, to train them in the
class struggle and lay the basis for
unien organization.
The struggles of working women
! in the industrial field and around
issues of immediate Importance to
the workers such as the high cost
of living, labor defense and relief,
ETC., must be linked up with the
wider political issues, with the
struggle of the workers against the
capitalist system as whole, against
capitalist imperialism and the grsw-
ing menace of war.
Fight Pacif..@. Illusions.
Working women as the objects of
the worst exploitation under the re-
gime of capitalist imperialism and
naturalization, as the mothers of
/ the working class which is used as
cannon fodder for capitalist wars,
as the tools of capitalism for the
manufacture of war materials and
munitions, have the most powerful
interests in fighting the imperialist
war system. And they are coming
to realize that it is only by deter
mined revolutionary strugg'e that
this system and it's wars can be
wiped out.
Working women must combat the
illusions of pacifism and reformism,
of class collaboration and social
peace with which the capitalists are
trying to neutralize the great reyo-
lutionary force of the working wom-
en- masses. The bourgeois feminist
and pacifist women's organizations
as we'll as those which are openly
fascist and reactionary, are all uni
ted on platform of national de-
tense and official pacifism, support
of the League of Nations, the World
Court, the Kellogg peace pact and
all the pacifist apparatus of inn
perialism. Working women's organi-
cations must take up determined
struggle against these paeifist smoke
screens for the coming war and
against the efforts of the bourgeois
women to corrupt and mislead the
working women into the paeifist
camp.
The Communist Parties of all
countries recognize their special
task in mobilizing and winning fol-
the class struggle the masses OF
working women, the oppressed and
backward sections of the working
class. And working women, as they
develop class-consciousness realize
that they can free themselves only
through revolutionary struggle
against the whole capitalist system
They find leadership for such q
struggle only in the Communist In
ternational, the defender of ths
most exploited and oppressed, the
Organizer of the unorganized masses
the leader of the world proletariat
men and women, in the conflict with
world capitalism, in the struggl.
against the war danger and thu
capitalist offensive.
Working women have always beer
a revolutionary force of prime i'm
portance, 1t was the revolutionar,
energy of the working women o.
Paris demanding bread, that strucl
the first vital blow in the French
revolution. Working women worked
and fought and died side by sid
with working men, in the Pari
Commune. Working women havl
played a heroic part in the Russian
revolution, fighting in the vanguard
against czarism and the bourgeoisie
struggling against famine, blockad,
and civil war, toiling and building
in the construction of the new 80
cialist society. Chinese women work
ers have been massacred by tn
thousands by the -throats of i'm
perialism.
} Women Chief Victims.
Working women are the chief vic
tins of capitalist society with it
inhuman exploitation, its prostitp
ton, it's exhaustion of woman an.
child life, its brutal oppression an
terror, its machinery Of universe
! war and destruction. Working womel
are therefore tremendous poten
tial revolutionary force, Their free
dom and their future, and that o
their children, are bound up witt
the social revolution, and as Com
rade Lenin said, "The revolution !
} impossible without the support o
