In Japan, the socialists" are en-
acting the shameful role of the world
Social Democracy. in support of the
crimes Of the imperialists against the

in defense of Japanese imperialism.

cialists" declare, among other things:
That it will undertake all possible
steps to clarity to all Japan that the
Japanese Social Democratic party
protects and supports the fundamen-
tai principles of japanese imperial

suppression of one class by the
other" 1t declares that the japanese
socialist" party has only in mind to
democratize the capitalist state APP
paratus.
Carrying their betrayal of the
working class still further, the Jap
anese socialists" declare that Marx
ist Internationalism is an objective
error" This, the Japanese social
ists'' attempt to prove on the ground
that, MarXist Internationalism ne
elects the interests "of the nations"
and sees only the interests of the
proletariat. The Social Democratic
party, they declare, will take steps
to show clearly the national attitude
of real internationalism."
The Japanese imperialist press
publishes the whole statement as a
direct support of the imperialist war
on the Chinese masses and praises
the statement as "the turning of the
Socialists in Japan towards National

foundation of the fascist party in
Japan under the name of National

The world social democracy which
betrayed the workingclass into the
last World War, is repeating its
crime. In Japan, the socialists are
supporting Japanese imperialism. In
the United States, England, France,
the socialists are supporting the
crimes of their respective imperialists
against the Chinese masses and the
preparations for armed intervention
against the Soviet Union.
Only the Communist parties are
leading the working-class in the
struggle against imperialiSt war and
for the defense of victorious Social

Join the Communist Party, which
leads the struggle against war; Build
a powerful Communist Party to lead
you in this struggle, as only the toll
ers of the world can stop the new
imperialist slaughter.
