That our task is to struggle a.

ilize all forces now for the defense
of the Soviet Union.
G.. Finally, there is a complete
oppOrtunist conception prevailing
in our ranks that by merely carry
ing on daily struggles against wage
cuts, for unemployment relief, ETC.,
that this in itself is sufficient to
mobilize the masses against impe-
riahst war and for the defense Of
the Soviet Union.
While it is true that we must
connect up the struggle against
war with the struggle against hun
ger, terror, mass starvation and
misery, and only on this basis can
such struggle against war be sue
cessful, it is completely wrong to
believe that only by carrying on

taking up special organizational
measures to mobilize the masses.
etc, that we can carry thru sue
cessfully mobilization against the
imperialist war and for the defense
of the Soviet Union. And it Is pre-
cisely this wrong conception which
is very prevalent in our ranks, that
is most dangerous and paraiyzes our
ability to mobilize large masses in
the struggle against imperialist war.
Immediate Tasks
I. We must set up anti-war COM
mittees in all our union bodies,
beginning with the National Com
mittees down to the locals. These
anti-war committees must also be
organized in the factories, and we
must take the initiative to organize
them, in the A. F. of L. locals, OPP
position groups and in the Unem-
ployed Councils. These anti-war
committees must be given tasks.
The tasks are for all unions, and
are as follows:
a. To carry thru an agitation
and propaganda among the entire
membership of the unions. to &C
quaint them with our policy, and
the struggle against imperialist war,
With the nearness of war, etc.
b. These committees are to take
steps for the union mobilization of
the entire membership, calling mass
meetings of workers, meetings at
factory gates, house to house can
vassing-in other words, to mobil-
ize the workers in the industries
workers will know not to trust
them.
2. We must expose all the pro-
paganda of the bourgeoisie that the
imperialist war is way out of the
crisis We must point out that this
is no solution, that it may mean
bread for one man, and bullets for
thousands and millions. We must
stress the peace policy of the Sow
let Union, and demand that the
funds appropriated for war pur-
poses be used for the unemployed
and relief, etc. tiFs
a. We must popularize the slog-
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-05-28

and for the defense of the Soviet
Union central task of our organ
izations.
N examining this situation we
must come to the conclusion that
at the root of this are certain po-
litical weaknesses and unclarities.
We merely wish to cite these
/ Underestimation of the actual
danger of an attack against the
Soviet Union, and the possible
nearness of such an attack.
2. Underestimation of the role
that the working class can play in
the struggle against war, in post
poning an attack against the Sow
iet Union, etc.
3. Fear of developing sharp
struggle against Japanese imperial
ism, and its agents in the U. S.
on the ground that our duty is to
fi9ht only u. S. imperialism.
Z. Pacifist illusions which have
penetrated into our ranks and
which, of course, are strong among
large sections Of our membership
These pacifist illusions particularly
take the form of capitu1ation be-
fore peace" manouvers and the
'peace" offensive of United States
imperialism.
There is feeling that the con-
tradictions between the U. S. and
Japan, which are, of course, real
and deep, are a factor in postpon-
ing the attack against the Soviet
Union. This is not only untrue.
but on the contrary, U. S. impe-
rialism, because of these contra
dietions, is trying to provoke an
attack against the Soviet Union
and in this way weaken both its
imperialist rival, Japan, and the
common enemy of all imperialisms
the U.SS.R.
IN this connection, we must also
mention the recognition propa-
ganda carried on by some of the
newspapers in capitalist circles, and
by number of prominent senators
and congressman. We must point
out that this recognition propa-
ganda which is part of the peace"
offensive of the U. S. imperialism,
is part of the Hoover Stimson gov
eminent vancouver against its rivals
and for advantage in the attack on
the Soviet Union.
This campaign, tho it takes in
to account and tries to exploit for
the interests of the bourgeoisie, the
widespread sympathy among the
toilers for the Soviet Union, tho
it takes into account the admir-
alton of the toilers for the only
genuine peace policy of the US.
S.R., and the fact that it cannot
be denied that certain capitalists
would like to profit by trade with
Russia, this does not in any way
mean that the U. S. is not assist
ing Japan and is not trying to
provoke war against the Soviet
Union.
We must point out that even If
such recognition was given to the
US.S.R. by the U. s. Imperialism
1t would in no way change the

SHALL THE JOBLESS
TAKEPART IN A WAR OF
EXPERIMENTATION?
BY HERBERT BENJAMIN.
National Secretary, Unemployed
ra.4v.a;IS of 1T c

Councils of u. S.
Realizing that the millions of I'M
employed cannot be expected to sub
nit to death quietly by slow star
walton, knowing that it is even
more dangerous to attempt whole
sale determination of the unemploy-
ed by means of police and military
mass murder, the ruling class is
about ready to institute it's most
desperate measure for solving the
worse economic crisis in its history.
1t is preparing and will now at
any moment launch its plan to make
the workers exterminate each other.
The Hunger Government in Wash
ington and its agents everywhere as
well as SIMILAR governments in other
capitalist countries, are working
feverishly on plans for a bloody i'm
perialist war. The munition plants
are turning out with equal speed,
new, efficient death dealing weap-
onS. Almost any day now, we may
expect to be urged and then driven
from the army Of starvation into
an army of mass murder.
Weapons will be placed in our
hands and into the hands of other
workers in other capitalist coun-
tries and we will be ordered to
slaughter each o,her. Or better yet,
from the point OF view of the cap
italist master class, We Will be sent
off to slaughter our fellow workers
who have freed themselves from
capitalist misery and are now
working heroieally for the freedom
of the whole working class by
building socialism in the Soviet
Union.
This is the meaning of the new
war which is already going on in
the Far East. and which can be
expected to directly involve the
American workers, any moment,
any day.
NO Unemployment for Professional
War PrOpagandists
1t is obvious that the capitalist
ruling class and its agents will not
frankly confess the aims of their
rapidly approaching war. They
fully realize that they could never
assemble enough force and terror
to compel the unemployed masses
to join in such a war of self-exter-
mination.
1t is for this reason, that profess
sional war-propagandists are not
suffering from unemployment. On
the country, every pen prostitute,
every slick-tongueG windjammer
who can apply skill in the service
of the war makers, is assured of
profitable employment. These de-
spicable creatures are able to enjoy
luxury as well as comfort by in
jecting war poison into the minds
of the masses and thus preparing
them to willingly participate in
new wholesale butchery.
War is being frankly offered to
the desperate masses of unem-
ployed as means of Solving I'M
employment" Glowing pictures are

Upward OF $4,000 acres Of pub
lie lands have been filed upon
in the Great Falls land office
since the Hoover order restrict
Ing Issuance OF permits 70 pros-
pect for oil and gas. Much OF this
has been filed by legitimate op-
orators but much more has been
filed BY people the industry desir-
mates as "wolvss"--people who
file permit applications with no
purpose other than to hold mn
legitimate operators BY scaIpine
off royalties and exactlne bon
uses, penalties and rentals.
A concerted protest win be
made By legitimate operators in
the Rocky Mountain region. #
Is reported, against the activities
Of professional permit grabbers
who invested nothing and contrl-
butte nothing to oil and gas de-
velopment. Such movement
was wen under way when the
sweeping Hoover order went into
effect three years ago.
Under the law, anyone can file
on q permit providing he Is an
American citizen. The Secretary
Of the Interior has the right
to refuse to grant permits to per-
sons without financial standing
who have contributed nothing to
oil and gas development. In
years past operators have been
burglarized and blackmalled b.
permit pirates whenever leasing
activity has been started in any
area where there are govern
ment lands aAd the development
0f a number o. structures has
been definitely postponed By
activities Of these persons who
prey upon the legitimate inlusary.

Another development Of interest is
Tarrants announcement that he has taken

good for 50 barrels initial when it topped
the sand but series Of misfortunes has
prevented it being placed on steady produc-
ton.
Performance Of the Haines well, coup
led with that of the Drumheller in the
lower sands, indicate the presence Of a ma
jor oil pool IN this region and it is believed
the Tarraht well is strategically located to
prove this theory.
Also Of interest is Tarran's recent an
