1t is along these Ines that this
congress intends that its Interna-
tional Committee for the struggle
against war shall work towards ex-
tending this front of the working
class across the world.
EACH of us here takes a sort of
Il pledge, and we take it all to-
gether;
We sweer that we will never
allow the formidable unity which
has been established here among
the exploited and victimized mas
ses to be broken up,
We swear to fight with all our
force and with all the means at
our command against imperial
ist capitalism that purveyor to
the slaughterhouse.
We swear to dedicate our selves
with all our forces and all our
resources to our direct and inn
mediate tasks taking our stand:
Against armaments,. against
war preparations. and in conse-
quence against the governments
ruling us;
Against Jingoism, nationalist
chauvinism, and fascism. the
police army of imperialism which
leads to imperiahst war and pro-
vokes civil war against the mas
ses of the working class;
Against war budgets, vote for
which is a dishonor and a crime;
Against the loans and taxes
that rob the masses in order to
increase ornaments:
Against the campaign Of in
element and SANDER aimed at
the Soviet Union the country of
socialist construction which we
will not allow to be touched;
Against the dismemberment of
China, of which each imperialist
power covets portion;
Against the exploitation, op-
preston, and massacre of the CO.
lonial peoples;
For the support Of the ma
tional minorities and the peoples
fighting for their national and
social independence;
For the effective support of the
japanese workers who have
raised the standard of struggle
against their own imperialist
government.
All the burdens of war, as well
as all the burdens of armed peace
and of war preparations, are
laid on the shoulders of the work.
ing class, whose vanguard is
formed by the armament and
transport workers. The working
class must therefore immediate
ly organize and be on its guard
We swear to fight with all our
power against the gathering dis
aster.
THE APPEAL.
And we continue to appeal to
all: to appeal to all workers, peas
ants, and intellectuals of all
countries, to the exploited and
oppressed. We call upon them
to join us, and in public meet
ings and demonstrations to take
the pledges we have taken here
and to put them into effect.

Calls Upon Workers. Farmers, teectuals and Students
for a United Struggle Against Imberialist War

war, to expose this hypocrisy which,
like all merely verbal pacifisms,
aims only at lulling the vigilance
of the masses, SO that the war may
once more take them by surprise.
The Congress warns the true en-
enies of war against the political
compromises with the prevailing
system practiced by certain leaders
of working class organizations. Such
cooperation strengthens this sys-
tenn and betrays the cause of the
struggle against war. The attitude
of the leaders of the Socialist In
ternational in August, 1914, one of
the outstanding facts Of the last
war, marks notable setback in the
movement towards human eman-
cipation. The hostile attitude
adopted by the leaders of the Labor
and Socialist International towards
the present Congress, confirms the
impression that they maintain the

1914, which is in Grass contradiction
to all true principles of socialism.
MASS ACTION.
The congress addresses itself to
the innumerable masses of the pro-
letariat which needs only conscious
organization in order to come to
power.
On the strength of the mandate
given to it by multitude of people
coming from all quarters of the
globe and united in their sincere
and burning desire for peace,
though holding divergent political
opinions, on the st rength of its
profound conviction that the strug-
gle against war is only genuine to
the extent to which it is efficaci-
GUS and influences the facts; the
congress calls upon the masses, the
only invincible power existing in
the tragic disorder of our times,
to enter upon this scene of disorder
in closed and disciplined ranks and
to raise its powerful voice.

NETROIT. - we have nine of

ones opening up next week" the
supervisor of one of these welfare
kitchen told me proudly You see,
we are going to do away with vel
fare grocery checks just as fast as
we can It's so much cheaper to
feed them in our soup kitchens"
I gagged, as l passed the food
watts. The raw, rank, sourish smell
of soup kitchen fod sickened me.
And I have no doubt it sickened
those who have to eat it, 1t was
the evening meal tine-two meals,
one at seven O'Clock in the morning
and the other at five in the eve
ming, that's all Detroits poor, if
they get soup kitchen tickets, get to
eat. Families were coming in. self
conscious. shame-faced, Inundated
at the necessity of being herded to-
gether like cattle for their feeding.
Each individual, as he passed into
the kitchen, had to display num-
be1'ed check. These people were
just so many numbers to the i'm
personal charity of the Welfare
Department.; and the numbers, and
the herding together, and the hur-
ried lines eating at bare tables,
looked just like a prison. Except
that one could imagine no possible
offense for which these little chill
dren, some of them two and three
years old, were being punished.
MOTHER AND CHILDREN
A mother of Spanish descent
gave up trying to get her two tots,
neither over four, to eat the soup
kitchen slop, threw her face on her
hands, and began to weep loudly.
The frightened children sweIled the
outcry. 'Ya vamos a conner" well
try to eat now" the bright-faced
little boys assured their mother.
After a while, she dried her eyes,
but makes no further attempt to
feed the children. What is wrong?
But look at the food! she cries.
Her husband (sitting with bitter,
set face beside herr and herself,
they can get the food down. But
the children cannot eat it, It is no
use trying any more, children can
not eat such food. The blue milk
they can drink, but that is all. She
gathers together the bread which
she and her husband abstain from
eating in order that the children
may have it, and wraps it in a piece
OF newspaper. When the children
get hungry she will soak it in water
and feed them with it.

wrists, flat chests, flatter stomachs.
But they eat with no relish, they
cat because if they do not eat they
will die. An old man chews and
chews while tears run down his
face. A pretty young girl of six
teen, her clothes and hair arranged
with pitiful carefulness, pitiful be-
cause the clothes are mended and
remended in a score of places until
they can hardly be kept together,
forming a terrible contrast to her
beautifully delicate face, catches my
eyes watching her, and chokes on
her food; the shame of her pubic
degradation oyerwhelnls her.

HERE in New York we have four
IL Communists working in shop
of about 10 workers, mostly young
girls. No nucleus organized in the
shop. Why2 What are generally
the reasons? Not a single one is
against shop nucleus generally, but
not a, single one approved the idea
of a nucleus in this shop.
One comrade states: I'VE are
doing Communist work in the shop
anyway without q nucleus
The other comrade declares:
1.-TWO of us are leading function
aries in the union, why take us
away from union work."
The third conrade explains:
This is too small a shop. 1t does
not pay to take us out from street
units where we are doing good
work and organize into shop nu-
cleus where we will not do more
than what we are doing at pre-
sent Z"

Of course, on rainy days, like yes

they used up the whole check. But

1 look at the supervisor. Can he
be saying this i'll earnest, telling me
how from the need of looking for
jobs and staying inside out of the
rain, the city wins a point in It's
struggle to avoid caring for the des-
titute? Yes. his flabby, fat face
is solemn and unctuous, he actually
means it,
nUT the Welfare Departments
y kitchens are only for families.
For the childless couple or the sim
gle man, there is no relief at all.
There are couple of privately run
soup kitchens, but the single men
tell me that the food IS simply in
edible. They go, instead, from door
to door, to the back entrances of
bakeries and restaurants, begging
for the left-overs. A steady stream
Of the single unemployed can be
seen going from door to door. Nor
is there any place for them to sleep.
I was shown through the McGregor
Institute, privately-run flop house.
The manager showed me, proudly,
his long dormitories, his cafeteria,
his chapel; he could house seven
hundred men. But there were only
about two hundred nightly Why2
His answer was that on summer
nights the men preferred to sleep
outdoors. But I heard a different
story from an unemployed Ford
worker sturdy German American
whom I singled out from the hun
dreds sleeping in Grand Circus
Park and Cass Park.
THE McGREGOR INSTITUTE
"The McGregor Institute? All
you get there at the most is three
nights lodging. After that you have
to pay. Sure, they got plenty room
for more there, but they won't let
us in. They keep the number at
about two hundred because they
have to make some showing to get
money from the city and dona-
TONS" When I told him how the
manager had said the men pre-
ferred to sleep outdoors, his face
flushed with indignation. Look
at them" he cried, pointing to the
workers, row on row, were stretch
ed out on the thin grass, trying to
sleep. Look at them" he scream

CONCLUSION

THE Congress points out that re-
CARELESS of this or that appar-
emily pacifistic political Vancouver
every imperialist power whether it
be the United States or England or
France or Japan or Italy, is work
ing for war.
1t draws attention to the leading
role played by French imperialism
which, in its preparations for war,
is attempting to bring about and to
direct, with the aid of its vassals,
Poland, Rumania and other states,
"a regrouping of the imperialist
forces Danubian Federation, Laus-
anne Pact etc.
Determined as IL is to offer every
resistance in its power to the cur
rent sweeping the whole present
generation towards disaster, the
Congress sees salvation only in the
concerted action of workers, pea
SAINTS and all who are exploited and
oppressed.
1t declares that there is no other
adequate means of carrying on the
war against war.
1t is aware that many. distin-
guished minds are desperately
seeking to find a means of saving
society by noble dreams. 1t is aware
that there are men who offer a
personal resistance to war which
may draw down upon them the
vengeance of capitalist laws. But
it considers that in the face of the
terrible challenge offered by present
developments it is impossible to
stop short at abstract formulas, or
to confine onself to means of resist
ance foredoomed to failure; notably
Overwhelmingly futile-sacrfice
constituted by the noble attitude
adopted after declaration of war
by conscientious DIRECTORS and by
all others who fling themselves
individually against a collective
disaster.
1t expects that the men of char
acter and courage who preach these
heroic measures and who are pre-
pared to accept for themselves the
very grave consequences of such
an attitude, will join with the
others in erecting, stone by stone,
from the ground up massive COLI
lective barrier against war. Every
form of opposition to this work
merely helps the enemy.
"PLEBISCITE" INEFFECTIVE
The Congress considers that the
so-called PleSiscite, proposed by
some in the event OF war, Is inef-
fective. Such a referendum can
have no influence once the war
has broken out. Public opinion will
then be forced to accept the situa-
ton as 1t is, and will do SO the
more readily since 1t will have been
intoxicated by newspaper prop
uganda,
Above all the Congress warns the
public against governmental in
stitutions, and especially the League
Of Nations, which functions at
Geneva as San immediate mouth
piece Of the imperialist powers. The
words spoken at its great pompous
ceremonies are words of peace, but
its acts are the acts of war. The
Congress calls upon the sincere
men and women assembled here in
response to cur rallying cry against
