into such a struggle, according to this mis-
leader of the farm masses.
E1n fact l do not believe the Amer
lean people can be dragged or dra-
gOOned into another war, nor viii
they permit the international bank
ers of Wall Street to involve them
in more trouble"
The American workers and farmers
CAN be dragged or dragooned into an
other war" unless they are reused to the
dangers of the imperialist struggle and are
organized to fight against it militantly.
The United Farmers League must rouse
the small and middle farmers for this
struggle. 1t, is this organized struggle a.
gainst the imperialist war by the masses
that Capper tries to prevent thru his art
icle He wants to convince these masses
that they are immune from imperialist
struggle because thep will not permit the
international bankers of Wall Street to in
volve them in more trouble"
He tells the masses that this Hoover
government of which he is an important
organ is not a government of these very
international bankers of Wall Street. He
uses in his pacifist article all of the war
mongering phrases of the last imperiaist
war. He talks of "our national self re-
spect" and states that it can be maintained
without imperialist struggle. But it is
just this national self respect" that has
been used by the capitalist class for driv-
ing the masses into war. "Our national
self respect" is the market needs of imper-
ialism.
'NThe United States government
will do all that may be necessary to
protect Americans in China, or to
rescue them from danger. There its
duty ends"
''This government will always be
ready to prOffer its good offices to
bring about peace as it did success
fully in the Russo Japanese war.
That is as far as it should go in a
conflict in which our vital interests
are not involved"
| He stated in his pacifist article that
the Wall Street government should not
protect American property in China.
But he attempts to prepare the American
workers and farmers to protect American
Elves in China or elsewhere-the lives of
slave drivers, crooked business men, agents
of the Standard Oil, or of the National
City Bank, exploiters of the masses in the
United States and in the colonies.
While this Wall Street government
prepares for imperialist war this farm
agent of the Hoover government brazenly
states that it twill always be ready to prof
fer its good offices to bring about peace
''That is as far as it should go in a con
flict in which our vital interests are no
involved" The "vital interests the life
interests of world capitalism ARE involved
in the imperialist conflict for new markets
For this reason American Imperialism il
armed to the teeth ready for the imperial
list plumber struggle.
Capper wants to hide the fact that tn
Wall Street bankers are ready for war
that they are looking for war as way on
of the capitalist crisis. Like the imperial
lists of the rest of the world they are pre-
pared for struggle for redivision of tn
colonies, for the attack on the Sovie
Union.
They feel that by crushing the Sovie
Union they can on the one hand depriv
the working class of its inspiration = tn
land where workers and farmers are buiIo
ing Socialism on the basis laid by the pre-
letarian dictatorship. By crushing the Sc
Wet Union they feel they can add this on
sixth of the worlds surface to the area {
imperialist exploitation
The preparations for war for the div
sion of the colonies and for the attack O
the Soviet Union are preparations for fine
ing blood and murder solution for tn
crisis at the expense Of the working clas
These preparations for imperialist We
are preparations by those who have e.
plotted and oppressed the workers and til
small and middle farmers in the Unite
States to mere existence levels. Prever
these plunderers from plunging the Anne
lean working class into new world slaugI
ter. Rally to the defense of the Chine.
workers and farmers. Defend the Sow
Union. Demonstrate May First again
the imperialist war and for relief from Il
privation, hunger and terror that the ca
italist class has ground on the workir
masses during the present crisis.
