Bolshevists' struggle against imper-
ialist war, showed that only by reyo-
lutionary mass actions, mass mob
ilization meetings and demonstra-
tions, mass actions to stop produce
ton of ammunitions and shipment Of
arms, by exposing the role of the
imperialist governments, by mobil-
izing in each country against their
own imperialists, building anti-war
committees particularly in the fac
tories, intensifying the fight against
the attacks of the capitalists by all
possible means, can war be postponed.
He pointed out that only by the over
throw of capitalism, which breeds
war, can an end be put to imperialist
wars. He said that this cannot be
accomplished without a fight against

perialist war.

peace, were aiding the bourgeoisie to
carry through their maneuvers and
their war plans.
