Capitalism
Breeds War

The war danger arises inevitably
out of the very nature of mon
opolistic capitalism, viz, the own
ership of the means of production
by small capitalist class and a
complete domination of govern
ment by this class. The imminent
war danger is only another ex-
preston of the fundamental crisis
of the capitalist system, which con
tinues its existence only at the
cost of intensification of its ex.
ploitation and oppression Of the
masses at home and in the colonies
md the struggle among the i'm
perialist powens for a redivision of
markets and sources of raw ma
terials.
Only in the Soviet Union has
this basic cause of war been re-
moved. The consistent peace pol
icy of the Soviet Union, around
which the anti-war struggles
throughout the world must be
rallied, was made possible by the
revolution which overthrow the
capitalist system, reorganized

The black cloud of imperialist

After ten years of futility, the
World Disarmament Conference is
meeting again to perform once
more the grim comedy of promises
to screen the actions of the inn
perialist governments which are
preparing more intensively than
ever before in history for a new
war. The Four Power Pact is al
ready exposed as nothing but a
new vancouver for position in the
coming wlr between the imperial
ist rivals, and an attempt to es-
tablish a united imperialist front
against the Soviet Unior.. The rise
Of Flscism in Europe, and es-
pecially IN Germany, and the
sharpened aggressive policy of
japanese militarism, have brought
al the imperialist antagonisms to
the breaking point and greatly in
creased the danger of a war of in

Roosevelt
Prepares for War

The government of the United
States in spite of peaceful pro-
fession, is more aggressively than
ever following policies whose only
logical result is war. The whole
program of the Roosevelt admin
stnation is permeated by prepared
ness for war, expressed In the. ex-
traordinary military and naval
budget, mobilization of industry
and mln-power, the naval concen-
tration in the Pacific Ocean, the
Intervention in Cuba, the contin-
ued maintenance of armed forces
in China, the loans of Chang Kai-
Shek, the initiation of currency
and tariff wars-all of which gives
the lie to the peaceful declarations
of the U. S. government.
Ulder the guise of public works
the N. r. A. has diverted. i'm
mense funds from the care of the
starving millions to the building, of
a vastly Aarger navy and mech
aniDltion of the army. The wide
spread unemployment has been
utilized to concentrate young men
in so-called reforestation camps,
directly under the war department.
The military training of youth in
the schools and colleges is being
further developed. More and more
national holidays ard specially
prepared demonstrations are being
used to glorify the armed forces
and to stimulate the war spirit
among the masses. Hundreds OF
factories IRE working overtime to
produce munitions and basic wal
materials, for shipment to the
warrirg countries in South Amer.

welt administration is establishing

Peace Pacts
Are Illusions

This Congress Against War
warns the masses against further
reliance upon the League of Ma
tons and Kellogg Pact as instru-
ments of peace. The Congress de-
clares that this illusion becomes
particularly dangerous at the pres
ent moment, especially when it is
put forth as in the recent Congress
of the Labor and Socialist Interna-
tion2l and the International Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions, as a
method of combating the wal
danger. Only the rousing and or
ganizing of the masses within
each country, for active struggle
against the war policies of Their
own imperialist government wheth.
er working individually or through
the League of Nations, can effec.
lively combat war.
The Congress- declares that the
basic force in the imp&rialist
countries for struggle against
the war danger is the working
class, organizing around it in
close alliance all of the exploit
ed sections of the population,
working farmers, intellectuaIs,
the oppressed Negro people and
all tOiling masses. This anti
war movement allies itself with
the masses IN the colonial and
semi-cOlOnial countries against
imperialist domination and gives
full support to their liberation
struggles, demanding their I'm
mediate and unconditional indie
pendOnce.
The Congress endorses the pro
gram of the World Congress
against War held at Amsterdam 1
August, 1882. It pledges itself t
do all in its power to effect ma
tional wide agitation and organi
cation against war preparation
