ternatlonal RELIEF, which help the victims OF
the class struggle.
(c) The Order recognizes that the road to
the liberation of the working class leads thru
Sovietism The Order declares that the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics points the way
for the working class of all tie imperialist
countries and for the oppressed masses of the
colonial and semi-colonial countries. Together
with all class-conscious workers the Order de-
clares its readiness to defend the Soviet Union
against the attacks of the nperalst states.
(d) The Order recognizes that the imperial
lst states, seeing the crisis of capitalism which
is becoming ever deeper and broade1 and which
undermines capitalist dictatorship, and seeing
the great successes of the Five-Year Plan of
Socialist construction in the Soviet Union and
the growth of the revolutionary movements
both in the imperialist and the colonial coun-
tries, are preparing for war against each other
and jointly against the Soviet Union. The
Order recognizes as its duty to struggle against
the war danger together with the entire work.
ing class.
(e) The Order recognizes that the capital
lists would long have been unable to withstand
the attack of the broad working masses, were
1t not for the social democrats and union bu-
reaucrats who are nothing but agents of the
bosses within the ranks of the workers and
workers, to weaken their energy, to demoralize
their ranks and thus to keep them from fight
ing capitalism. The Order recognizes that
every class-conscious worker who is in earnest
about the struggle against capitalism must
fight, systematically and energeticaly, against
the union bureaucrats and socialists who are
turning more and more into social-fascists
(f) The Order recognizes that there is one
realm where 1t can develop a particularly
fruitful activty-and that is in the realm of
culture. The Order is aware of the fact that
culture is a powerful weapon in the hands of
the bourgeolse to enslave the working masses,
and that where the bourgeoise, through its
schools, its press, its educational institutions
for adults, and with the aid of the bourgeois
intellectuals, pretends to spread enlghten-
ment among the masses" it in reality spreads
such information and influences the brains of
the masses IN such a manner as to make them
obedient servants of the capitalist system. The
Order therefore declares that it is it's duty not
only to develop its members culturally, but also
to develop in a prOletarian way, l. e. to give
them culture which will make their brains
clearer, their will stronger, their ranks more
united, which will mobilize Them to struggle
against the capitalist system and elevate them
to the level of builders of new society The
traternal order, being to degree only an aux
lllary organization of the class struggle, can
and must utilize this favora lie position to
help create proletarian culture, without which
the class struggle cannot be sufficiently sue
cessful. The fraternal order must not only
follow the line of the class struggle but it
must devote particular attention to educating
It's membership so that they may be prepared
to conduct the struggle in every realm. In this
respect the fraternal order is to follow a line
which neither the Workmens Circle nor the
Independent Workmen's Circle ever followed
even at time when they had not yet become
hornets nests of betrayal.
(g) The fraternal order must be built up
not only of Jewish Organizations but also of
organizations speaking other languages. In
other words, the Order must be an inter-an-
guage, international fraternal organization
There are in the United States large masses
of workers belonging to fraternal organizations
of other language groups; Hungarian, Finnish,
Russian, German, Ukrainian, Czecho- Slovakian
and other sick benefit societies and similar or
CARNATIONS.
At present those organizations are isolated;
some of them are weak some suffer the yoke
of a black fascist and clerical leadership. When
the fraternal proletarian order is founded, all
OF them, entire organizations and minorites of
organizations, will join the new Order In this
way powerful center embracing scores of
thousands of workers can be created within
short time.
The line of the proletarian order is the line
of uniting the broadest working masses, of
freeing them from bourgeois domination, of
freeing them from bourgeois influence elevat-
ing them to the level of the class struggle,
strengthening their will, eliminating their way,
letting them feel the power of organization and
of international solidarity Incorporating them
as brothery section into the great interna-
tional struggle against exploitation and op-
preston.
In this spirit and with this belief we COM
mence building the new order.
Workers. The time for building has come
You have suffered much. You have stood the
severest test. You have remained faithful 70
the working class. You have not allowed your
self to be demoraized. You have stood firmly
on the basis of the class struggle. Now the
time has come to gather all the forces and at
last to build up our fortress--a proletaran fra
ternal order.
Today the foundation is laid for the great
building. We know that difficulties will not
be lacking We know that the enemy will try
to interfere with our work. The enemy has
many means at his disposal and he would not
shrink before the worst crimes. Our strength,
however, will be in our unity. New forces will
come to the fore. New broad strata of the
working class will join our Order New life
will begin to pulsate in our ranks. We shall
go into struggle. We shall march with our
class.
Long live the proetarian order!
