armament conferences ETC., the inlperalist govern
mets especially the United States and Great Britain
are arming themselves to the teeth a@o'0st one an
other, preparing for world slaughter.
Almost three-fourths of the government income in
the United States is spent for purposes The mill
tary and naval budgets of the principal imperalist
powers are higher than they have ever been in peace
time in all history, and constantly increasing.
The capitalists know way of their crisis except
through bloody war, by which they hope to snatch
from another the markets of the world AS Sen
ator Reed of Pennsylvania said the other day-curi-
ously enough for once speaking profound truth
the only thing that is delaying new imperialist war
is the fear OF Bolshevism on the part Of the ruling
classes
1t is this common fear of Bclshevism that draw
ing together all of santagonstic mparalist powers
including the United States into joint preparations
for against the Soviet Union.
The workers of the United States do not want war
They realize more and that all the capitalist
parties are dragging them towards at dizzy
speed Only the Communist Party organizes and leads
the fight against preparations generally and espe
cially the fight against the war on the Soviet Union
Robber Treaty
One of the root causes of the present crisis of cap
alism to be found in the Versailles Treaty the
debts and indemnities and especially the Young Plan
of enslavement of the German people In building and
supporting this whole world structure of capitalist OPP
preston United States Imperialism has played lead
ing role. More and the workers are learning
that the ensavement of peoples under the Versailles
Treaty the exploitation of the million masses of Euroe
by the debts and the Young Plan constitute one
of the chief of their misery and degrada-
ton.
The activities of the Communist Party in the United
States are winning and more mass support be-
cause the Communist Party leads and organizes the
fight to smash the Versailles Treaty to wipe out the
war debts and reparationS and to berate the German
masses from the yoke of the Young Plan
AS result of the economic crisis the ruling class
OF this country is ntensfying its oppression and ex-
plotation of the colonies and weak nationS-n China
the Philippines and especially in Latin America.
At the same moment these oppressed peoples are
beginning to fight for their independence and for
liberation from the peralist yoke the United States
and Great Britain engaged in all of these coun-
tries and throughout the world in desperate strug-
gle for control of its markets.
This struggle between the United States and Great
Britain is being fought out in armed struggles for
governmental power between various factions of the
local bourgeoisie in each country.
Only the Communist Party Internationally supports
and fights for the complete independence and self
determination of every nation the complete freeing of
every colony and semi-colony
Plan War Against U. S. S. r.
The preparations for imperiast war are today con-
centrated against the Soviet Union. The enormous
success OF the FiveYear Plan of socialist construction
in the Soviet Union has filled the hearts of our cap
itast rulers with fear and panic and desperate rage
Inc SOVIET Union is revoutionzng the working class
of the entire world by it's very existence and by the
contrast which it presents to the conditions of the
workers under capitalism While in the United States
more than nine million workers are unemployed in
the Soviet Union unemployment has been completely
abolished and there is an acute shortage of labor
While in the United States wages Of the working
CLASS are being slaShed by eight billion dollars in the
Soviet Union the wages of the working class are
steadily Increasing and per cent above pre-
wages.
While in the United States capitalist naturalization
is destroying the health of the workers and throwing
ever greater numbers into the ranks of the UNEMPLOYED
IN the Soviet Union every stage in industrial proTress
raising the living standards of the workers While
IN the United States even the eight-hour day has
never been established except for a few privileged
groups, the average hours of labor being around 40
per week, and large numbers of workers slave for
ten, eleven and twelve hours per day. in the Soviet
Union no one works more than eight hours and the
seven hour day has already been established for half
OF the industrial workers.
Within two years the seven-hour day will be uni
versal and the six-our day will beqin to be intro
duced while at present the siX-hour day is in force
for miners, chemical workers and young workers under
H. While in the United States the workers must live
IN the poorest houses in the Soviet Union the workers
have the best of everything that exists While in
the United States the workers have no vacations ex
cep the starvation vacation of unemployment in the
Soviet Union every worker has two to four weeks
paid vacation every year.
While in the United States the workers have no
insurance against sickness unemployment, old age
etc. except that provided by capitalist corporations at
enormous profits to themselves in the Soviet Union
every worker enjoys complete protection including
thorough system of maternity endowment While in the
United States every worker lives under the lash of
fear Of being discharged at the arbitrary viii of his
