THE present economic crisis is developing very
sharply all along the capitalist front with
growing contradictions within the entire CAPT
talist system The antagonism between Great
Britain and the United States is becoming more
and more accumulated. This present crisis of
capitalism and the sharpening contradictions
within it making the growing war danger
a concrete factor The increased preparations
on the part of all the imperialist nations to or
game an attack against the Soviet Union
the fatherland of the worlds working class,
is assuming definite organizational expression
Because it is in the Soviet Union that the
workers and peasants are building up new
system of society, which is doing away with
capitalist wa and exploitation. Therefore,
instead of wage cuts, speed up, increased
starvation due to unemployment, the workers
in the Soviet Union are successful in increas-
ing their standard of living, are successful in
cutting down their working hours and are
rapidly carrying out the FiveYear Plan of
Socialist construction.
Therefore, on the one hand there is grow
ing economic crisis in all capitalist countries
which means for the masses of workers misery
and starvation and on the other hand the build
up of new society under the leadership and
guidance of the revolutionary forces in the
Soviet Union, which means higher wages and
general improvement of their working condi-
lions for the masses of workers.
In the struggle against the increasing i'm
perast war preparations the revolutionary
unions have tremendous task to perform
especially in our struggle against the fascist
and social fascist leadership in the American
Federation of Labor, who are playing an &C
tive and open role as the agents of the BOSSES
to mobilize the rank and file membership in
the old unions behind the war policy of the
bosses and its government.
The recent manifesto of the Amsterdam In
ternational, calling upon the workers in the
Soviet Union to re-establish the bosses rule
in place of the Workers Soviets, is an open
act of the readiness on the part of the fascist
and sociai-fascist leadership in all capitalist
countries to actively participate with the cap
italist in order to militarize the workers and to
prepare them in an attack against the Soviet
Union. The role of these misleaders and fascist
agents of world imperialism must be ruth
lessly exposed and an energetic struggle must
be carried on against them under the banner
of the revolutionary working class movement
led by the workers and peasants of the Soviet
Union.
Task of Red Unions.
1t is therefore the task of the red unions
to actively organize and mobilize the workers
in the respective industries against this grow
ing imperialist war danger, and especially must
we increase manifold our activity within the
American Federation of Labor, on the basis of
exposing in the eyes of these rank and file
workers the role of the leadership in the
A. F. L., and their alliance with the war pro-
gram and the general system of naturalization
of the bosses.

TASK OF RED UNIONS IN
STRUGGLE AGAINST WAR

We must organize in all of the basic indus
tries as we'll in the local unions, and espe
cially in the locals of the A. +. of L. anti-im
perialist war committees under the slogan
Not penny for war preparations but ever,
dollar for the unemployed. This slogan mus
be put into life through active organization
and preparation for the building up of The
August First demonstration to struggle agains
imperialist war preparations. This slogan mus
be carried into the factories, into the mines
AMI must be broadcast throughout the entir
labor movement in order to ruthlessly expose
the yellow leadership of the socialist party
and the misleaders of the A. F. of L. gen
orally. Work or wages, unemployment insur
ance from the government and the bosses must
be made into a tremendous and powerful de-
mand on the part of the American working
class.
Living Slogans.
The slogan "from the factories to the dem
onstration" must be based on immediate or
ganizational preparation, and must be made
into living reality for the purpose of build
ing up mighty protest movement, based upor
the united front policy from below, through
the organization of factory committees, com
mittees of unorganized and organized workers
as well as committees within the old reformist
unions, composed of the members in the T.U
U.L. and rank and file workers within the
A. F. of L.
All this must be connected up with an inten
sified effort to revive the recruiting drive Of
the T.U.UL. and to develop a serious cam
paign for the building up of the official organ
the Labor Unity.
Into the Shops.
The results of the unemployment convention
must be carried into the industries and among
the millions of unemployed workers. Yes, this
must become the center of our practical &C.
tivity for the building up of a mighty protest
demonstration against capitalist war prepare
lions.
In this campaign and in the demonstration
it is the task of the revolutionary unions to
acquaint the American working class with our
world eadership-the Red international of La.
Dor Unions and the Fifth World Congress which
is about to open in the Soviet Union.
T. U. U. L. Program.
These are some of the tasks which the pro-
gram of the T.U.U.L. calls for in order to mob
ilize and organize against the intensified of.
fensive on the part of the bosses and all their
agents in order to crush the growing militancy
on the part of the masses of workers.
Organize and strike-must be our immedi-
ate perspective against this increased system
of naturalization. Not a penny for war pre-
parations, but every dollar for the unemployed
must become the central issue to prepare our
struggle against increased imperialist wars
Work or wages, unemployment insurance
must become the rallying center for unity Of
action between the employed and unemployed
workers in industry.
The building up of powerful revolutionary
trade union movement must be our immediate
aim in order to effectively struggle against
the capitalist system.

By EUGENE SAYLOR.

AMERICA is preparing for war. Only the
"a uniformed and the misinformed can doubt
it. Wars are not accidents, nor are they the
results of squabbles between diplomats. Wars
are basic element of capitalism, necesstated
by the continuous struggle for foreign markets
and raw materials. The sweety hypocritica
talk about peace pacts, naval treaties, and
disarmament agreements is just so much
camouflage-a smoke screen to hide the few
erish preparations for imperalst war.
Two years ago the great capitalistic coun-
tries were given an opportunity to disarm
The Soviet Union proposed that every nation
on earth destroy all its arms except those
sential for the upkeep of small police force.
The Great Powers who had assembled to talk
disarmament" turned deaf to the pro-
posal. Curtament of armament not
mentioned again until the London Naval Con-
ference assembled Was disarmament dis
cussed? Not bit of it. The powers had as
sembled, not to talk peace, but to agree on the
size of the guns they know will soon be turned
on each other.
Plan War on Soviet.
So much was admitted. But this was never
made public. Plans were drawn up for
concerted attack on the Soviet Union. Capt.
talism, built on slavery, realizes that it can
not compete successfully with Communism
built by and for the masses. That is why,
the correspondent for the Chicago Daily News
admitted, the Soviet Union was "a vast, in
visible presence occupying the thoughts of all
the delegates" at the London Conference
And that is why Leslie Urquhart, one of the
most powerful capitalists in England, de-
clared, in the New York Engineering and
Mining Journal Successful completion by
the Soviet of its Five Year Plan will Destroy
or at any rate, deal terrific blow to
(capitalistic.-Ed) entire civilization" And
not only is the Soviet Union carrying through
its magnificent Five Year Plan, but it seems
absolutely certain that it will complete it in
four years. Which, Mr.. Urquhart will agree,
is still more powerful blow at capitalism.
The United States War Department, too,
has instituted a Five-Year Plan, although it
is not taking any great pains to spread the
knowledge. In 1926, Congress- by passing the
five-year act, empowered the War Department
to build the greatest armed force the world
has ever seen. $50 great has been the pro-
gress of the War Department" former Secre-
tary of War Davis has said, ''that if the United
States were to be drawn into conflict today
the nation would be equipped to place 100000
men in action anywhere on the face of the
globe" Distance is no bar to imperialist war;
Calvin Coolidge admitted as much when he
said, while he was president: Our investments
and trade relations are such that it is almost
impossible to conceive of any conflict any
where on earth that Id not affect us in
juriously." The Bankers Journal ever con-
sentative. wants to localize the war and bring
it closer to home. "What is the most poten-
tial cause of war;" it says, and proceeds to

striking for better living conditions? We don t
have any strikes in our country, and there is
no danger Of getting such command from
our officers they all workers them
selves, our commander being a metal worker.
Our army is strictly workers army and only
workers and peasants can be Red Soldiers.
"Do you think there is danger of war be-
tween capitalist countries and the Soviet
Union?" we asked. Yes, we are constantly in
danger of war; the Manchurian case was but
to provoke the Soviet Union, as was the bomb
which was found at the embassy in Warsaw,
Poland, and we know that behind all this are
the imperialist nations. The Soviet Union
wants peace; we know what misery and blood
shed war would cause the workers. But if any
nation should attack US, we are always ready
to defend our union, and it is up to the workers
of all countries to defend the Workers Re-

ask for better working conditions. They are

the colonies, where exploitation is beyond i'm
agination.
Visiting the Red Army.
On April 20, we were invited to visit the
Red Army division of Moscow. There we
found that the officers get the same food and
live in the same quarters as the other soldiers,
in comradely way Being in the Re- Army
is like going to University. Political Econo-
my is taught and peasants are taught to run
tractors and use the most modern methods of
cultivation. What is the difference between
the officers and the ordinary soldiers? we
asked. None, except that when the soldiers
are on duty, strict discipline is maintained,
they replied. Surprising your officers would
tell you to shoot at workers and peasants
