Court Orders All to Fight for Wall Street.

WORKERS must guard themselves against any illusions
that out of the fact that the United States
supreme court has denied American citizenship to Roska
Schwmmer the Hungarian pacfst because of her state
ment that she would not take personally for the
United States or any other government.
The court decision would leave the impression that the
Shwmmer brand of pacsm that supported the fake Ford
peace Ship adventure during the last war; constitutes
force against mperast when the direct opposite is the
Pacsm is mask cevery used by Imperialism to hide
its mlitars program. In this respect find different
forms of pacsm offered in the various disarmament
ferences the Kellogg Pact Good WHIP flights and the
protestaons of the American Federation of Labor and the
socialist party Pacifism functions parazng force in
the ranks of the workers seeking to render ineffective abor
historic struggle for all power.
sThe Wall Street government of course will accept
the declaration from any of its citizens that they will not
fight for it. The opinion of the court written the basis of
the Schwmer case handed down by Associate Justice
Pierce Butler, formerly western railroad corporation law
yer and it insists that under the constitution it is the duty
ofctzen by force of to defend government when
necessary The court thus sezes the Schwmmer
lay down general rule for all citizens which will,
in turn be the basis for equally drastic decisions for
citizens.
The pacifis Civil Liberties Union feels outraged that
the liberties supposedly guaranteed by the federal consti
tuition thus thrown the discard and plans to take
other this time of "a 100 cent religious obector to
the capitalist courts Religious objections had not been offered
in the Schwimmer
The fact that the bourgeois pacfst stand of Rosika
Schwmmer should bar her from American citizenship only
helps reveal the extreme caution of the Wall Street
ment in its preparations 1t this weapon to
promote the strength of its mtars program Here is at
least nkng of what the strengthened claw enforcement
of the imperas government for the revolutionary
section of the working class that carries the only effective
struggle against the Wall Street program.
The flexible nature of the federal constitution which
written to be interpreted in full support of the capitalist
government in the present imperalst although it
written nearly century and half shows how we'll it
originally framed for all the purposes bourgeois power
The supreme court definitely declares that citizen
must defend the Wall Street government against all it's
although the document declares that is the
right of the people to overthrow the government if they
fit.
The intensified mperast ushered in by the election
and inauguration of Hoover president will interpret the
federal and state constitutions and the whole accumulation
of laws the statute books for its purposes which
the purposes of greater mperas aggressions that rapidly
lead to the world In this struggle bourgeois paci
fsm the enemy of the working class the ally of capitalism
The Civil Liberties Union still blindy cng to the illusion
that the capitalists court doesn't what it
that there still constitutional liberties that the capt.
tais will grant against their interests. This merely
effort to neutraze the mtancy of labor the class
struggle.
Masses of workers will be forced into the armies of
Wall Street greed Thus they will be armed for the crucial
struggle. The most militant among them will struggle to
convert those armies to the civil against imperialism for
the seizure of power the abolition of capitalist oppression
and the Inauguration of the Soviet rule of the workers and
poor farmers This effort must prepare itself for every attack
from the present ruling Glass; especially guarding against
parazng of petty bourgeois pacsm the lackey OF
Imperialism although it seeks to parade itself in anti
imperialist role.
