countries, but now they begin to awaken and
to go into action. Many related factors are
now bringing about the rehabilitation and or
ganization of the workers in these lands.
The most basic of these is the world crisis
of capitalism which, as it deepens, radicalizes
the working class by worsening their living
and working conditions, through unemploy-
ment, wage-cuts, speed-up, ETC. Secondly,
there is the growing establishment of the
workers regarding the revolutionary" pre-
tensions of the socialist parties, which as they
get into power, thoroughly expose their capt.
talist character The British labor government
is doing marvels in this direction-and which
tends rapidly to weaken the powerful and
deadly influence they have welded for two
generations upon the workers through their
political organizations, unions, cooperatives,
ETC. A further tremendous factor in arousing
the proletarat in these countries is the very
rapid growth of socialism ii the Soviet Union,
a striking object lesson which comes as a
very inspiration to the workers, and finally,
there is the growth of the Communist inter-
national and its parties in the various coun-
tries which are giving real organization and
leadership to the workers.
All these great forces are irresistibly draw
ing the masses of workers in the industrial
countries into struggle against the capitalist

front not only the victorious Soviet Union and
the vast upheavals in the colonial countries,
but also a mitantly revolutionary proletariat
in the imperialist home-lands. Then the de-
caying world capitalist system, despite all the
efforts of the capitalists and social-fascists to
prop it up, will indeed begin to totter pre-
paratory to its overthrow.
We live in great times, in the period of the
breakdown of the capitalist system and the be-
ginning of socialism. And we, living in the
U. S. have vital role to play in this vast
social drama. The great task of our Party is
to mobilize our huge working class, together
with the poor farmers, to strike a mortal blow
at the very heart of world capitalism. Amer
lean imperialism.
The situation becomes increasingly favor
able for our Party's work of organization, edu-
cation and leadership. American CAPITALISM
goes deeper and deeper into crisis, dsillusion-
ing millions of workers and poor farmers and
worsening their conditions. These tolers will
follow our revolutionary lead provided we
know how to make our first approach to them
through the T.U.U.L., revolutionary unions
and other mass organizations on the basis Of
struggle for their pressing demands. Histor-
ically important was the great March 9Th
demonstration, with 1,250,000 workers openly
accepting Communist leadership. 1t was
signal of the coming mass organization and
leadership of our Party.
Now is the time for every class conscious
worker to join the Communist Party. The per-
iod Immediately ahead of u.s. with an intensi-
fcation of the crisis, the further swelling of
the huge army of the unemployed, the whole
sale slashing of wages, ETC., will be one of
keenly sharpening class struggles. In these
fights, our Party, confronted with the hostile
triple alliances of employers, government, and
treacherous union and socialist leaders, will
need the active support of every militant
worker. Let the workers in this country do
their full share to further the world attack
against capitalism now developing rapidly
under the leadership of the Communist Inter-
national.
