Wall St. Welcomes War

the foremost publications of the capitalist world the
deceptive talk about enduring peace the security of
natons" is giving way to open talk OF war
The Annaist the weekly financial and economic review
published by the New York Times company joins the in
ereasing number of capitalist journals in declaring that
new world is In its issue of Friday, March II,
The Annalist says:
"That there is a large possibility of a European
in the very future hardly be denied recognition
!. We were lifted from business depression in 1914
by the outbreak of great war. 1t would be curious
repetition of function if another European war should
again to industrial rescue.
The rabd rawlings of the gutter press of Hearst and
the tabod now appear in the somber columns Of the most
eminent journals of capitalist respectaby The press un
anmously halls the mperialst plunge toward new world
war as the harbnger of prosperity.
While there is being printed columns daily about dis
armament and while the radio dns into talk about
disarmament in the above statement of The Annast are
put forth the real policies the ubaton of capitalist Amer
lea at prospect of early outbreak of that will
at first enguf all Europe and then rapidly spread to the
rest of the world.
The Annalst halls the prospects of war as blessing
that will industry 1t welcomes the prospect of mil
lions herded into the slaughter hoRe of mperast
that bankers and ndusraista again realize billions
distilled out of the very life blood of the flower of the youth
and young manhood of the world
Another world war will be vastly devastating than
that of 19418. The twelve million killed the field of
battle will be multiplied many times The division between
the front and the will be wiped out and in addition
to the cobatants the field whole cities will be devastated
buryng in their ruins men, and children They
pose solve the unemployment problem by saughtering
the unemployed
This is what the bankers and their spokesmen greet
With delight saviors 'to industrial rescue.
The tens of thousands of ex-solders, those who
hailed heroes of the last war; know only too well what
Today they who heroes of 1917 held
in contempt outcasts. Hoover murdered them Ana
costa field with bullets Roosevelt murders them by cutting
off their relief by cutting down appropriations for sick and
wounded veterans forces them onto breadnes by denying
them their back pay-the so-called bonus.
This drive toward again vndicates the estimate of
the Twelfth Plenary session of the Executive Committee
of the Communist international which declared this to be
period of transition to round Of and revolutions
This drive toward world war; the fact that the
entire capitalist press finds it difficult conceal the fact
that Imperialism is carrying forward its conspiracies to
plunge the world another mperalst blood bath-is
alarm signal that should to action every worker
every farmer, every ex-sOldier.
1t the duty of all classconscous workers to do every
thing possible build up the broadet possible united front
action against Not moment is to be lost if the
strous conspiracy against the ong of the whole
world The most persistent and ruthless fight must be waged
against all those who try to cripple the struggle with
pacifist decepons with sabotage and all the other tricks
of socia-fascist deception.
