Under What Slogans Will the New
Irnperialist World War Be Waged?

naed and exploited Arabs on the one side and on the other
SIDE British imperialism supported by and using the nstru
ment of Zonisn Internationally this signifies the flaming
of colonial revolt at the foundations of the British colonial
empire.
If the present crisis of British Imperialism were lead
directly into the second world eaaclys in such that
the capitalist ruling class may be able to call the Palestine
events the cause of the world war, what would be the
slogans with which the capitalist governments of the United
States Great Britain etc. would attempt to lead the masses
into the struggle willing cannonfodder? So -~..
In the first imperalst world it the slogan of
war for democracy" "war to end war; -..s--
What would be the of the slogans for the second
imperialist world if it should follow right upon
the heels of the Palestine events?
Already we are able to whole consistent series of
slogans ready at hand-o fresh sort calculated best to
deceive workers whose eyes opened to the
shopworn lies of the war to make the world safe for democ
racy" This new possible slogans easy to pick out
in the speeches several the big New York
meeting last Thursday night For instance
Stop pogroms! >-~ .-.~
Protect weak minority from aggression
Defend the Jewish victims of age-long persecution!
Compel the heartless British mperialists to do their
duty
of Palestne s.... ..-.--.
Or another variation: The British government is
under the great and good socialist labor premier the
representative of the workers. uphold this pacst states
man against the war-rnaking Arabs! 49, +.-
Or still another Demand that the United States defend
its most humble citizens against racial persecution (Hoo
in his message to the meeting used the terms
Protection of the lives of American citizens and prote
ton of the homeland" of the Jews)
And Peace and order in the Holy Landw
Defend men and women devoted the service of God
Yet every of Che above slogans would be reaction
airy lie in the present of the Palestine afaa counter
revolutionary mperiaist slogan Tin effec better this
than the worst that Woodrow Wilson used
little reflection would bring any cassconscious worker
to see any support the Zionist against the
native Arab population of Palestine is nothing than
support of Imperialism of subjugaon against colo
NAL subjects For two thousand years this socaed Hoy
Land has not been populated by Jews For the better part
of thousand years has been the native homeland of the
present Arabian people part of imperialist Englands
plans conquest during and after the world consisted
of of this country and the subugation of the
Arabs British rule typical policy of British imperialism
led to introducing into the heart of the country alien
population for holding the country for British
exploitation and military The reactionary fetshsm of
Jewish zosm furnished the best of eementng such
alien population there.
The country is not the Homeland of the Jews it is the
homeland of the Arabs. There basis for the Zion
M homeland claims than there would be for the present
AngoSaxon American population to claim the right to in
wade and seize those parts of Europe which their racial
predecessors inhabited two thousand years ago.
At that the present imported Jewish inhabitants do not
rule Palestine and do not want to rule Palestine under the
circumstances On the contrary they demand that the Brit
Sh shall rule Palestine as it does with bayou
cts and machine the Arabian inhabitants who out
number the Jews by much nine to one and that the
wealthy Jewish invaders be allowed to cooperate with the
aon under the dictatorship of British
atvee The slightest idea Of republic abhorent to then
because the population which they exploiting and
proprang of their land is majority of nine against
them
There pogroms being made in Palestine by the
Arabs. ,.Sts u s-T s--> @*-s#< ~
When the appropriated Arabs rebel against the rape of
their country the fascist Zonsts know how shrek of
"pogroms. But what is pogrom? Certainly pogrom
organized slaughter of and
people nsgated by agents of the ruling and exploiting class
Exactly the opposite the here when the robbed Arabs
rebel against the British rulers and their Zionist agents. The
Wealthy Zionists the expoters of Arabian labor
They aid the British rulers in ruling the Arabs
who the suppressed and exploited people Only those
whose minds hopeessly saturated with the backhund
red propaganda Of imperialism call the desperate resist
Of the exploited slaves pogrom They could well
talk of ynchngs of the poor helpless white people in
Alabama Mississippi by the fanatcal rhobs" of Negro
ynches Nothing could be reactonary than such dis
honesty such distortion of all reality standing of
history its head. lgss aoae.gal@.re ~ ~pe nesc
But there any doubt that both British and American
imperialism could find choice lot of slogans for the coming
deceit Of the workers if wod-war situation follow
after the present Palestine events? .s 4.s 10 eHr
