| Nearly a dozen speakers took the
floor prior to the adoption of the
manifesto. The first speaker Charles
Kuntz, representing the Icor, the or
ga1lization for the settlement of jew
ish workers on the land in the Soviet
Union, pledged the support of his
organization in the fight against i'm
perialist war and for the defense of
the U. S. S. r.
Dorothy Deter. speaking for the
Women's International League for
Peace and Freedom, declared that
while her organization would con-
tinue its pacifist program, it is pre-
pared in the interests of a united
struggle against war, to join whole
heartedly with the work of the Con-
gress. "We wish to identify our
selves with the struggles and aspira-
lions of the working class" she said,
as the Congress applauded.
Roy Hudson, national secretary of
the Marine Workers Industrial
Union, aroused the Congress to en-
thusiasm by citing numerous in
stances on the part of longshoremen
in 1919 in refusing to load munitions
intended for use against the workers

out, is so strategic in the fight
against imperialist war as the ma

Lloyd Brown of the Young Com

5000 delegates and 1000 spectators
by his declaration that the militant
youth of America will follow the path
OF the heroic Communist leader of
youth, Karl Liebknecht, in unyieldine
struggle against the war-makers.
Brown was one of three youth
speakers, the other two being Nathan
Solomon of the National Student
League, and Monroe Sweetland Of the
International Council of the League
for Industrial Democracy.
Calling attention to the achieve
ment of the Congress in bringing to-
gether SO large a number of dele
gates from industry, Jack Stachel,
acting national secretary of the
Trade Union Unity League, declared
that no small part of the success of
the Congress is due to the energetic
cooperation of the revolutionary
trade unions affiliated to the T. U.
U. l.. Stachel called attention to the
wave of strikes sweeping over the
country and pointed out that heroism
OF the workers in their struggle
against exploitation in the factories
and mines, found its reflection in the
willingness of these workers to fight
against the war-mongers.
Stachels speech, which was thun-
derously applauded by the delegates
as we'll as the throng of spectators,
was an effective reply to the remarks

lieutenant, who was at the Congress
as delegate from Local 20 of the
