IN CLASS WAR
Amis, Nominating Him
Tells of Struggle
Amis Proposes Foster.


B. D. Anlis, Negro delegate from
Cleveland, in his speech proposing
Foster for Communist nominee for
president of the United States said:
THE imperialists Of the world are
feverishly preparing for a new war
for the slaughter Of the workers and
poor farmers, for an attack on the
Soviet Union, for the partition of Chi
na. In this mad rush TO seize more
booty, Japanese imperialism with the
moral sanction of the League of Ma
ton is the spearhead Of aggressive
action.
American Imperialism gives its
support through the shipping Of war
materials and ammunition to Japan
and by passiyely corsenting to the
rape of Manchuria, the slaughter OF
Shanghai workers and the mobiliz-
ing Of thousands Of Japanese SOL
Giers on the Soviet frontier.
Our Party mobilizes American toll
ers to give stubborn resistance -
these planned attacks against the
Soviet Union. We answer that cap
italism will break its teeth on the
iron stronghold of socialist con-
Sruction because the American pro-
letariat together with the interna-
tional proletariat will intervene. Such
intervention will express its solidar-
ity in action, win help strengthen the
Red Army, and buttress the defense
OF the Soviet Union.
Socialist a War Party.
To carry out this policy OF war
and of attack against the workers,
The bourgeoisie is building up its
third party, the socialist party, in
view of the fast waning influence
and loss OF confidence in the two
major Parties, the republican and
democratic. The rapid rehabilitation
OF the masses indicates that the re-
publican and democratic parties can
no longer quell their prClcG0d dis
content. Therefore the capitalist
class finds it cXpedicnt 10 bolster up
the socialist party in order to use
these gocial-fascist leaders as a
means of turning the militant up
surge Of the masses into channels I'M
harmful to the capitalists, There is
also a deliberate attempt being made
10 revive The fast disintegrating a.
r. of L. oflclaldom as manifested
in the Pennsylvania Ohio miners
strike This gcsLure has for its only
purrcsc to betray the strikers strug-
gie3 and confuse the struggling work
ers and prevent them from joining
the militant Red Trade Unions.
.ss- Class. Against Glass.
It is i'll such situation that our
Pa2gy puts forward the program Of
class asat9st class, of war to the end
for The overthrow Of capitalism.
Therefore to lead these gigantic
struggles ard to become the symbol
and standard heaker of the f1ght
against capitalism, TO force the bour-
geoisie to grant concessions TO the
workers, l nominate for president
OF the United States one who has
exposed the btreaucrats of the A, r.
OF L., one who has rooted himself
deeply in the working class as lead
er Of the great steel strike, OF the
Pennsylvania Ohio West Virginia
Kentucky coal strikes, an outstanding
fighter for the freedom Of the Scots
boro boys, for the freedom Of Moo
ney and of Berkman For these
reasons which prove his ability to
losd the workers today in deadly
struggle against inperialist war and
capltalism---to show the revolutionary
way out OF the crisis, I nominate
William 2. Foster"
