The war in the long run.
The imperailiSt preparations for
war are intimately connected with
the present economic crisis.
Every big finance capitalist, every
big capitalist "stateman,* every
high officer Of tho army and navy,
every war specialist knows that the
conquest Of foreign markets by
force Of arms Is the inevitable re-

government In the world In the
effort to get OUT Of the economic
crises Of capitalism. Everyone Is
feverishly preparing for that way

The world market, In which the
capitalist class must sell the stolen
products Of surplus labor Of its
"own" working class - these world

are already monopolzed. The world
is already divided up into imperial

controlled by the various capitalist
imperialist governments. Each cap

governments get together and throw
their whale military weight into
