for the preservation of peace, factor which caused
the postponement of the imperialist slaughter"
1t is the fear of the working class and its revou-
tionary organizations that holds the hand of the i'm
periasts and interventioniss Therefore the masses
must join the revolutionary struggles against and
intervention. The must strengthen their revo
lutonary organizations for this struggle This means
the building and strengthening of the revolutionary
unions organized in the Trade Union Unity League
Party of the United States.
The toling cannot fight imperialist war and
military intervention without the leadership Of these
revolutionary working class organizations The fight
against the war danger and military intervention
against the Soviet Union must be organized fight
This requires incessant everyday activities to unnask
the hypocrtcal pacifism of the ruling class and its
preparations to expose Systematically the secret
war Vaccinations the imperalsts before the
and to their alerness and vigilance; to carry
systematic work among the armed forces to win
them to the side of the tong and against
the iperalsts to be prepared and organized for the
carrying out of all these activities Illegally when the
ruling class does not allow it to be done legally.
Only the Communist Party-of all political parties
is committed to such program of work Therefore
the way to strengthen the forces of the workers against
imperast war and military intervention is to strengthen
the Communist Party and to follow its leadership.
Let recall the experiences of the working class
in the of 1914198 Because of the betrayal Of the
reforlst Second socialist international most OF whose
parties joined their capitalists in the imperalst war.
the working class of these countries remained without
organization and leadership to carry a revolutionary
fight against the war Only in Russia were the masses
able to continue the class struggle and the fight against
the war; which led them eventually to the victory over
capitalism and the establishment Of working class rule
And why? Because they had the Boshevik Communist
Party which prior and during the necessarily and
everyday educating and organizing the masses for
the struggle against inperiast war The followers Of
the Bolshevks in the other capitalist countries Qeb
knecht, in Germany etc. were then only minorities
within the refornlis and opportunst socialist parties
Today the revolutionary workers throughout the
world are organized in Communist Parties which are
the only class parties of the workers There is the
Communist international which untes all these parties
into disciplined world organization of the proetarat
T,day the workers each country have the organiza
ton and leadership which is TRULY roetarian and in
ternationaI The workers therefore must Join ard

forces that fighting and military intervention
To strengthen the front of revolutionary struggle
against imperialiSt and military intervention we
must especially devote ourselves to cement the bonds
of solidarity between the white and Negro workers. To
fulfill this vital revolutionary task it is the duty of
the white workers who belong to the depressing nation
to fight reservedly against the special oppression of
the Negro by the white ruling Glass; to fight
without mercy against ynchings and the lynchers, mob
LIKING the most powerful movement to the
lives OF the ScottSboro boys; to fight for complete
equality of the Negroes including the right of separa
ton from the United States by the Negroes of the Black
Belt The task of the Negro workers is to urge the
utmost solidarity between the black and white toling
in the struggle against the oppressor-
the white ruling class, against iperiais and mil
itary intervention.
Above all must understand that the agents of
the bosses in the labor movement-the leaders of the
American Federation of Labor and the Socialist party
of Anerica-are at present the mainstay of capitalist

Anaconda"

The dictionary tells us that an anaconda Is
ANY large snake which brushes its prey" So
that is why they call it the Anaconda Mining
Company, the Copper Trust which rules not
only Butte but all Montana.
Anaconda also owns the Montana State Fed
eraticn Of Labor, and the Saith annual Conver-
ton of that body gave enough evidence Of that.
It held its sessions at the Anaconda owned
Montana Hotel 1t invited Senator Wheeler,
the progressive" who somehow manages never
to step on the snakes TAIL to speak, and then,
to quote from its official organ, the Montana
Labor News:
Following the adjournment the delegates left
on a special street car for the Anaconda Re-
duction Works where, as guests Of the Aana-
conda Copper Company they enjoyed COM
plete inspection of the worlds largest copper

''This Fine Old (Aluminuna)
Gent"

Reading the N Y. Times of July 7, page one
Berlin story, we read how Foreign Minister
Curtlus OF Germany, licked Uncle Sans boots
by waxing eloquent about skiniint Andy Mellon.
Curtius said:
What Andy Mellon did is simply grandiose.
To think that this fine old gentleman came over
here expecting to spend most of his time will,
his son. and instead plunged into the intricacies
of these discussions, is simply great
Uh, huh! Now let's turn over to page Is Of
the same edition of the Times, and see what this
fine old gentleman is doing, by asking, in the
name of his aluminium trust that he in the
name of the US. Treasury, pay himself, a million
dollars. On page 49, is an Associated Press dis
patch from Pittsburgh, which we give below:
Pittsburgh, July 6, (AP)-The Aluminium
Company of America filed suit in the Federal
court today against the government, asking
the return Of about S1,0O0,O0O in income tax
payments and interest. The suit asserts that
the company paid s65O,632,3S above its actual
income and excess profit taxes in 1919 on in

Onward Christian Soldiers
By JORGE

From the San Francisco Examiner of June
%, we extract this tidbit:
Santa Rosa, June 27.-Dr. Louis Richard
Patmont, today announced his resignation, as
pastor of the First Christian Church here, in
order to lecture against Communism through
out the nation. Doctor Patrnont, is widely
known as a paleontologist. He has held the
pastorage here for years.
We know about dozen different names to call
that guy besides "paleontologist" but the cold
truth Is sufficient. A paleontologist, boys and
girls, is chap who is interested in fossils cher
shes fossils, digs them up and hugs them to
his BOSOM has fossils on the brain, so to speak.
SO what more would you expect frona paleon~
tologlst' than that he clngs to Christianity and
capitalism and detests Communism, the living
ana growing movement of today.
Inc1dently, this shows that Conrade Bukharin
IN his speech to Soviet scientists, recently men
toned in American capitalist papers, was correct
IN pointing out that under capitalism science and
scientists become the servants of the exploiters.
The papers pooh poohed the statement, but facts
are stubborn things
That the paleontologist is also preacher mere
ly adds to the proof anyhow, heaven has called
him to higher n1issio1l-and salaryl

Lenlns Teachings How To Fight Imperialist War
The fight against inlpeTialst is a fight against
capitalism which produces the It is fight for
tbs overthrow of the rule Of the capitalist class and
for the establishment Of the rule of the working class
Lenns chief message the fight against imperialst
is. Turn the imperiaIst war into a war against
imperialism; transform the mperianst into civil
against capitalism and for the Dictatorship of the
ProIetar1at.
Defense Of country and fatherland," long as
the capitalist class is in power to sacrifice the
working class to the interests of the capitalist class
It means to help perpetuate misery, slavery and
poitation It means to assist the capitalists and i'm
perialists to save capitalism.
Only with the overthrow Of capitalist rule and the
establishment Of working class rule do the toling mas
ses acquire a country and a fatherland Only then
does it become the duty of the workers and exploited
farmers to defend and protect their land from capital
ist and innperialst attacks.

In order to make the United States the country

"War Stories"

That Is the name of a magazine one of tbs
kind for popular distribution that is appear
ing out OF nowhere to whip up the war fever
among the masses whom the capitalists think
have forgotten the last war, If they are old
enough to remember it.
In its June issue War Stories" carries a col
umn of impossible lies under the heading Saws
tire Sarge tough guy stuff, typical fascist pro-
paganda against the Communists opening up
with ranting about riots" in the middle charg-
ing that Communist cash financed the short
selling operations in stock of the Chelsea Bank
and Trust Company" and so made all the banks
go bust Then it winds up
TITS this kind of Communist verrnin, Red
Rats, that the country is suffering from as
sorely as business depression If we got rid
of one we'd probably get rid of the other loot
Sweet Rats bring bubonic plague. SO we ex-
terminate 'ern. Red Rats spread a poison
that's infinitely worse-and we're letting 'en
get away with it. Live and let live is all riss,t
I say, when it works both ways. But for these
Red Rats, sinking Communists, and scum Of
the foulest cesspool, there should be no mercy
whatever. Damn and Drown the Reds"
Now, workers, there's nice bit of fascist pro-
paganda for violence against you Just exactly
the same kind of wild mediation as was used
against the Germans in the last warl Learn,
workers, and learn now-before you suffer for
not learning = that to defend yourselves and
your class organizations from the hooligan horde
that the fascist agitators for capitalism are try
ing to mobilize against you, learn that you
must have you own Workers Defense Corpsi
Let see what you do organizing such
defense groups in every organization that comes
onto the streets on August First in demonstra-
ton against imperalist war! Do not under
