are steadily driving us towards war
preparations and war.
The recent rapid spread Of fascism
brings before us another serious prob
lem, one which is closely related to
war 1t means forced labor, militar-
ization, lower standards of living,
and the accentuation OF national
hatreds and chauvinistic attitudes.
1t sets the people in one country
against the people in another coun-
try, and even exploits the internal
racial groups within each country,
instead of uniting them for joint ac-
ton to solve their common problems.
U. S. Prepares for War.
We emphasize that the declars-
tons Of peaceful intentions on the
part of the United States Govern
ment cannot be relied on to keep
this country out of war. In spite of
repeated statements Of peaceful in
tentions all governments continue to
arm. to train, to prepare. In the
United States the Roosevelt admin
istration has systematically aided
and furthered preparations for war;
the concentration of the entire fleet
in the Pacific Ocean, the continued
maintenance of armed forces in Chi
ma, give the lie to the peaceful dec
larations of our own government.
Under the guise of public works,
| L. Al
has become the vehicle for launching
the building of a vastly larger navy
along the lines demanded by the
Big Navy jingoes; the widespread un-
employment of youth has been uti-
| liked to concentrate them in SOCIAL
led demonstration camps, directly I'M
der the administration Of the war de-
partment where semi militarized
conditions prevail; the military train
ing Of youth in the colleges continues
and more and more, national holi-
days become excuses for clarifying
the armed forces and stimulating
war hatreds. Throughout the coun-
try hundreds of firms are busy ship
ping munitions and basic war ma
!
South America and the Far East.
With all this, the Roosevelt admin
istration has developed centralized
control along the lines Of the War
Industries Board of 1917. We must
organize and act to save ourselves
from these war preparations and
war forces certain to eliminate in
SI1icidaJ intern q tiopa1 mar
1t is to accomplish this task that
we unite in support of this congress.
1t is to formulate a program Of con-
crete struggle against these condi-
tions that we appeal for the widest
possible participation by the workers,
farmers, youth and by all opponents
of war throughout the nation.
We call every organization to form
a united front and we appeal to
every individual sincerely opposed to
war to begin immediately the work
of building this mighty rampant
against the forces of war
