Comrades! Do you remember the
fight we had in Tacoma and Seattle,
Wash. with the capitalist government
in 1919 when the Soldiers and Sail
ors Council wanted to have tag
day? The bosses would not grant US
a permit, and the workers from the
Dry Dock s. 8. Yard came out on
strike is sympathy with us. We broke
up their jails when they had the
men, women and children locked up
for the Tag Day.
Don't forget that struggle can be
won by United Front only. Don't
forget that we are all workers today
as we were before we were drafted
into the murderous Wall Street
slaughter in 1917. During the MUIR
derous war the Wall Street govern
ment did not make any exemption
Of race, color or nationality, but sent
all Of us across the ocean to murder
German boys who had done us no

What might have been an embar-

were recalled.
In answering the criticism of the
press Vice-President Curtis and
Police Chief Glassford were both
forced to admit that they had held
conferences with Gen. Macarthur,
chief Of staff U. s. A. and had also

U. S. Marines, and U. S. Army be
kept in readiness in case of trouble.

1t is a known fact that three
weeks ago the local Marine Bar
racks received a shipment of many
thousands of dollars worth of tear

guns. For over four weeks all
leaves have been denied to the
Marines and they are forced to
remain in quarters day and night
in order to be ready for any emer-
gency. The same holds true of the
Quantico Marine Base, where be-
tween six and eight thousand Mar
ines are being kept. None of these,
either, have made their usual visits
to Washington for the last four
weeks. Orders have been sent to
Fort Myers, the cavalry post near
Washington, to have their men in
readiness in case of trouble. All
the sailors in the local Naval Train

cial rifle training for the past few
weeks. They are allowed out of
quarters only When there is no
chance of trouble breaking out, and
only then few at a time. We'd

Improvements in military technique
and forestalling the new ornaments
that had already been mapped out
and approved of by Russia and

At the head Of the other group
of belligerent nations are the Eng

fool the working class and the Ia
boring masses by asserting that this
group leads war for the fatherland,
freedom and civilization against the
militarism and despotisnl of Ger

has long been buying for its billions,
and preparing for an attack on Ger

In reality, the task of the struggle
of the English and French bourgeo-

and to ruin a competing nation which

THE European War, which the gov
ernments and the bourgeois par
ties of all countries were preparing
for decades, has broken out. The
growth of ornaments, the sharpening
of the struggle for markets in the
epoch of the latest, the imperialist,
stage in the development of capt.
alism of the foremost countries, the
dynastic interests of the most back
ward East European monarchies,
were inevitably bound. to bring about,
and did bring about, the present
war. To seize lands and to conquer
foreign nations, to ruin competing
nations, to pillage their wealth, to
divert the attention of the laboring
masses from the domestic political
crisis of Russia, Germany, England,
and other countries, to disunite the
workers and fool them with national
ism, to annihilate their vanguards in
order to weaken the revolutionary
movement of the proletariat, such is
the only real essence, the significance
and the meaning of the present war.
Upon Social-Democracy, in the first
place, devolves the duty to make clear
this real meaning of the war, and
mercilessly to unmask the falsehoods,
the sophisms and the patriotic"
phrases which are spread by the rul-
ing classes, the landowners and the
bourgeoisie, in defense of the war.
One of the belligerent groups of
nations is headed by the German
bourgeoisie. 1t has fooled the work
ing class and the laboring masses by
asserting that it wages the war for
the defense of the fatherland, liberty
and civilization, for the liberation of
the peoples that are oppressed by
Tzarism, for the destruction of re-
dictionary Tzarism In reality, that
same bourgeoisie, servile in face of
the Prussian Junkers with Wilhelm
II at their head, has always been
the most faithful ally of Tzarism
and the enemy Of the revolutionary
movement of the workers and pea
SAINTS in Russia. In reality, that
boTgeoisie will, together with the
Junkers, direct all it's efforts, no mat
ter what the outcome of the war may
be, to support the Tzarist monarchy
against a revolution in Russia.
In reality, the German bourgeoisie
undertook predatory campaign a.
gainst Serbia with the aim of sub
jugating it and throttling the ma
tional revolution of the Southern
Slavs, at the same time directing the
bulk of its military forces against
freer countries, Belgium and France,
in order to pillage the richer COM
petitor. The German bourgeoisie,
spreading the fable Of defensive
war on its part, in reality chose the

On MbeNahst War

the shipment of ammunition, this
certainly must not remain a mere
agitation slogan, but what practical
steps did our Party organizations
and revolutionary unions take in
order to put this slogan into affect?
Practically none. Why? Because
our daily organizational politics
don't yet correspond with our main
ine( or to put it different, our
main line is seldom concretized and
applied daily, step by step.
Building the M.W.LU.
Who loads ammunition The
longshoremen. Who transports am
munition? The Seamen. Who is
to organize these workers? The
Marine Workers Industrial Union.
What is the task of the Party
and TUUL organizations in New
York, Boston, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, New Orleans, San Francisco,
and other seaportS? To give the
Marine Workers Union it's utmost
support, not only the Party organ
ization, but mobilize every organ
ization with a class conscious lead
ership to help the Marine Workers
Union.
If the stopping of shipment of
ammunition is the duty of all class
conscious workers then it is also
their duty to help to build this
force that is most capably putting
this slogan into affect-the Ma
rine Workers Union. Is this the
way we work now? If I am to
judge by New York, the answer is
NO!
The Connecticut district has
passed many resolutions against
imperialist war and for the defense
of the Soviet Union, but really what
: practical steps did our Party take
there to organize the workers from
the Winchester, Springfield or the
Remington ammunition plants?
The same question can be asked of
every Party district. OF course,
these are no easy tasks, but the
worst part of it is that we don't
face concretely these tasks and
therefore don't solve them.
Only if we recognize and become
alert to this major political and
organizational weakness, we will
begin to appreciate the value of
concreteness in our struggle against
imperialist war and only then will
we perform concrete acts that will
gradually assume decisive import
ance.
Away with generalities and empty
phrases!
Concrete action is what counts
today, when the clouds of a new
world war become thicker every
hour.

BY JOHN sTEUBEN.

The major task Of the entire rev.
dictionary movement in this coun-
try today is to enter from mere
agitation to stage OF action. The
phases Of the class struggle are
many and varied-the building of
the Party and revolutionary unions
inside the factories, to struggle
against unemployment, to defend
the rights of the Negro masses, to
win over the youth, etc. The task
Of entering into stage Of action
equally applies to all these phases.
However, the struggle against i'm
perialist war and for the defense
of the Soviet Union must immed-
lately assume the form of concrete
action.
Special Action Against War
Some may object to putting the
question in such a light that tends
to differentiate between the daily
struggles of the workers and the
concrete struggle against imperial
list war. However, such differen-
tiation is not only correct but a
timely one. We can, for example,
enumerate many strike struggles
we led against wage cuts, numerous
acts against unemployment, as for
example, the national hunger
march, etc. In the struggle for the
defense of the Negro masses, the
ScottSboro case, etc.
Undoubtedly the development of
the economic struggle against hun
ger, the mass struggle against
growing political reaction, Is es-
sential for the mobilization of the
toiling masses in The struggle a.
gainst imperialist war and for the
defense of the Soviet Union.
Can we, however, point to one
specific deed against imperialist
war, as for example, the delaying
or stopping of shipments of ammu-
milton? Unfortunately not. In fact,
there is no other field of work
where there is such a big gap be-
tween words and deeds as in our
struggle against imperialist war. 1t
is therefore high time and the
need of the moment that the ranks
, OF the Party, the TUUL and all
other sections of the revolutionary
movement shall adopt an attitude
Of concreteness in our struggle
against imperialist war and for the
defense Of the Chinese revolution
and the Soviet Union.
We must begin to learn to look
upon our revolutionary slogans not
as empty phrases, but rather goals
that are to be accomplished as a
result of hard work. Let us take,
for example, the slogan of stopping

gun. Two weeks ago these men
were issued rifles and bayonets and
have been having regular drills
daily. When any of them are
granted leave they have order to
remain in town and when they hear
a siren blow they must Immediately
report to quarters. Police have
been given orders to see that this
is carried out. AS a last resort the
National Guardsmen may be used.
The guardsmen report an unusual
ly lot Of rifle practice and gas
talks lately. There is a constant
guard Of about twenty men at the
Armory both night and day to pre-
vent the Vets from breaking in and
stealing equipment-the guardsmen
are told The men show resentment
to this because they are forced to
do it without pay and many Of
them have to work hard all day
after staying on guard all night.
The Young Communist League is
calling upon these workers in uni
form to refuse to shoot down their
fellow workers, and to fraternize
with them and support them in
their struggle for the bonus.

Are we to demain ignorant forever

not exempt us from starvation; we
are starving regardless Of our race,

evicted from our homes; thrown out
in the gutter with our wives and

Why do we allow the capitalists to
do this? Why did we, in 1917, allow
them to take the cream Of youth Of
this country and butcher them or
the battlefields for the sake Of their
dollars when they deny our right to
existence now? We fought for Wall
Street in 1917.

Washington, ID. c.

ONCE the inception of the Bonus
~ March to Washington, D. c. the
Federal Government, in the person
Of the Department of Justice has
used every method possible to sti-
fle the voice of these thousands Of
war vets in order to be able to turn
down the bonus bill without an Or
gained resistance. When these
agents realized that the men could
not be discouraged from the trip
by the press and other semi-offlcial
agencies they attempted to guide
and control the activities of the
veterans by pushing their own
flunkeys into the leadership.
With the aid of Glassrord (Chief
Of Police and the administration,
and the unrestricted M. P.'s, Wat
ers, Foulkrod, Carter, and Co. were
able to get control of the B.EF.
which was composed of virtually
all the veterans encamped here
with the exception of compare
lively small group which had real
rank and file leadership.
Through their own actions of
isolating the men across the river,
and failing To cary ON any activity
and struggles tending to force Con-
gress to act favorably on the Bonus
Bill they soon lost much of their
influence and we're discredited by
many of the vets. A good example
Of their waning influence is shown
by the fact that on at least 3 &C.
casions Commander Waters Or
dered his men to carry on some &C
tivity and three times they refused
to carry out his orders.
Finally when the rank and file
openly objected to being dictated to
from self-appointed leader, Wat
ers was forced to resign and by
clever coup detat he again made
himself National Commander, tel
ling the men that they had elected
him, when there was never an Or
gained election in which the ma
jority participated. The influence
of the B. E. F. leadership is growing
smalled and smaller.
Government Depends on Brute Force
Now the Government has only
one recourse to prevent the vets
from remaining in Washington and
continuing the struggle for their
back-wages. That is to crush them
by brute force. They are depend
ing on Federal troops to help the
local police do this dirty work.
When VicePresident Curtis be-
came scared by a mass picket
line in front of the Capitol he
called out two companies Of U. S.
