pseudo radical phrases. Third, the systematic
use of DECEASED and criminal elements of the
organized underworld, as sluggers and muir
derers of the working class organizers and
leaders.
Naturalization and mechanzation of the
process Of production are robbing the skilled
workers of the value of their skill. The reac-
tionary leader of this section of the workers
is trying to maintain the favorable position OF
this arstocracy Of labor by attempting to turn
them into the shock troops of capitalism.
That is why they turn the labor unions
from instruments of struggle behalf
Of the workers into instruments of IA
tionalization against the working masses and
into fascist troops of capitalism. The Socialist
Party, as the representative of the petty shop
Keepers, is trying to counteract the transforma-
ton of the petty shop keeper into clerk of the
chain store by organizing their forces into
social fascist troops of capitalism against the
labor movement It's labor union wing the

American Imperialism Prepares for War
r., AS result of the deepening and sharp
ening crisis, American imperialism is playing
increasingly aggressive role not only in
Latin America the Philippines and China, but
throughout the entire colonial world. Under
the pressure of the economic crisis, which
sharpens tremendously all mperiast contra
dictions and rivalries, American imperialism
not only intensifies its economic expansion.
but the imperiaist aggression of the United
States takes more outspoken political and
military FORMS American imperialism. thru
its prominent spokesman, Owen D. Young.
openly announces its program not only towards
the colonies, but for economic Indignation of
the world" that is. struggle for world econ
omc domination. Under these conditions our
Party has especially the responsibility of as
sisting the revolutionary masses of the semi
colonial countries where U. S. imperialism is
most aggressive and which are in the very GEN.
ter of U. S. imperialist policy (-atin Amer
lea, the Caribbean area, etc.), and particularly
those in U. S. colonial possessions philippines,
Virgin Islands, etc.. This must include the
utmost possible support and the joint working
out with the Communist Parties of these coun-
tries of their political and tactical problems
and clear understanding of changing class re-
ationships.
Is. American imperialism to an interesting
extent leads and directs the war preparations
against the Soviet Union. American imperial
ism was the promoter in the seizure of the
Chinese Eastern Railroad by the Chinese mill
forie af H. D,,l
an open attempt to create a united front of the
capitalist world for a military attack on the
Soviet Union. The very seizure of the Chinese
Eastern Railway was itself strategic military
maneuver against the Soviet Union. American
Imperialism is feverishly working to build
militarist wall around the boundaries of the
Soviet Union. In trying to fit Germany more
intimately into the anti-Soviet bloc, it is at
tempting to smoother out the contradictions of
the interests between Poland and Germany
French imperialism conducts fierce and pro-
vocative campaign against the Soviet Union
and mobilizes her vassal border states for war
against the U.S.S.R The Labor Government
of Macdonald in Great Britain, servile lackeys
of the imperialist bourgeoisie, prepares new
diplomatic break with the Soviet Union. The
internationally organized campaign against the
so-called persecution of religion in the Soviet
Union is unprecedented in it's counter-revolu-
tonary fury, class hatred, worldwide extent
and offensive forms, and is direct theological
preparation for an armed attack against the
Soviet Union by the capitalist class. The Pope,
the British Arch Bishops. Protestant churches
Jewish rabbs, the Salvation Army all reigi-
Gus sects, all peddlers of religious opium, were
modified for the defense of the Russian ku-
laks, thus giving clear example of the inter
national imperialist united front of cross and
cannon again:t the Soviet Union. The class
content OF this campaign was the defense of
the kulaks and nepmen--the last trench of
capitalism in the Soviet Union being DESTROYED
by the advance of Socialism. At the same time
these campaigns had the immediate strategic
ann to ideologicay stir up the peasantry of
Poland, Rumania, Czecho-Slovakia, etc, who
are the bulk of the armies to be used in the
war against the Soviet Union One of the re-
voting details of this campaign was that ape
ing exactly in method and content the cam
paign of the bourgeeosie, the Trotzkyites
came forward with the same campaign about
the horrors" and murders" of the C.PS.U.
playing the miserable role of the camp-foower
running after the war chariot of imperialism
In view of this growing danger of war the
G. T. must carry thru an intensive and con-
tnuous campaign for the popularzation Of
Leninis teachings on the struggle against war.

OF imperialist war into civil war. the defeat
OF our own capitalist government for the
overthrow Of "our own bourgeois.
