prosperity through another war.
The New York Herald Tribune"
publishes on its editorial page, a
letter from clergyman Cd which
urges, "let us. -. D.. build the ships.
recruit the army and navy and
take men out of the bread lines for
patriotic service" Otherwise, this
typical representative of the prince
of peace" argues, we will eliminate
all zest for trade in foreign markets,
forget the race for commerce, blot
out competition and sink to the dead
level of monotony." And, says this
war monger in clerical garb. What
a world to live in! That is the world

Father CoX-Imperialis War
Organizer
Less crude and outspoken, but
therefore all the more dangerous
are those demagogues who attempt
to place themselves at the head OF
the unemployed masses as their
champions, only that they may thus
be better able to corral them for
the imperialist war.
1t is no accident that the SUPER
demagogue. Father Cox, is on the
pay roll of the War Department.
Cox still receives a monthly salary
in return for his services to the
Wall Street imperialists during the
last war in the role of an army
chaplain. Nor is it an accident that
the only demand which Cox makes
is for Five Billion Dollar ap-
preparation" ostensibly to provide
work.
Actually the purpose is to mob
ilize the masses of unemployed
behind the huge war appropriations
and to engage them as forced
laborers upon war projects. His
flagwaving stunts; his close alliance
with the American Legion and other
lingo organizations; his march to
the tomb of the Unknown Soldier
show clearly that his demagogic
phrases and hypocritic pleas for the
unemployed, are but screens behind
which he serves as an organizer for
the imperialiSt war makers.
Hunger and War-Two Points Of
One Program
The capitalist class everywhere, is
determined to preserve its privileges
and profits at the expense of the
workingelass. 1t attacks the work
ing class by imposing upon us mass
starvation and finally, war. The
agents of capitalism, can be recog-
nized by their attitude towards the
struggles of the workers against
both these measures of capitalist
policy.
The A. F. of L. Leaders
The American Federation of La
Dor n!sleaders, who oppose with all
means at their command the
struggle for unemployment insur-
ance, show the same loyalty to their
masters by supporting their war
policy. Under guise of representing
the interests of the workers, they
plead for more appropriations for
military ard naval purposes. Under
a similar pretense, they veno-
mously attack unemployment in
sursnce as an "indignity" against
the self-respect of the American
workers. With even more venom
they lead in the attack against the
Soviet Union. d
Similarly the Socialist Party which
urges the workers to refrain from
struggle for unemployment insur-
ance, pirates pacifism in order to
disarm our struggle against war.
The leader of the socialist party,
Norman Thomas (another reve-
rendD joins with ]. p. Morgan in
support of the "blOek aid racket
for rObbing the workers. He JUS
titles this treachery by explaining
that under the circumstances, even
this is better than nothing. In
the same manner, he supports war
and will support the
war, as the only possible alterna-~'
tive if capitalism is to be saved.
