to which now, in addition to the
young unemployed boys and men who
have been drafted, ex-soldiers are

That the "reforestation army" is

WHILE we must point out the
W sharpening of the contradictions
between the rival imperialist powers,
United States and Great Britain,
United States and Japan, and the
aggressive role of American impe-
rialism, in this connection it is neces-
sary to point out that one of the
main detectives of the innperialist
powers, the United States included, is
war against the Soviet Union.
Recently, at a meeting of engin-
GERS in Chicago, A. N. Fleming, the
engineer of the Metropolitan Vickers
Co. of London, one of the engineers
who was sent by this company for
constructing plants in the Soviet
Union, where his colleagues were
caught by the workers government
because they we're engaged in sabo-
tage and military spying, made a
speech pointing out the danger for
the capitalist system in the progress
of industrialization and building of
Socialism in the Soviet Union.
Engineer Fleming declared: "Their
aim (Soviet Union) is to shorten the
working hours of labor and raise the
standard of living for the workers.
Think what this means to the COM
petitive (meaning capitalist) system
in the rest of the world" Therefore,
he declares further: II think we
thould have good deal closer inter-
change and scientific knowledge
among the capitalist countries"
Recognition and War
The workers of the U. S. must have
no illusions that IN increase of talk
of recognition CT the Soviet Union
will mean the lessening of the dam
ger of war. There is no contradiction
in this. Though the U. S. government
may recognize the Soviet government,
they at the same time not only pre-
pare, but carry more vigorous prepa-
rations for war against the Soviet
Union, its class enemy.
Further, the war machinery is
prepared, not only against the So
Wet Union and the imperialist rivals
Of the U. S.-Great Britain and ia
pan, but also against the colonial
people and the working class at home.

Illinois, the National Guard Is be-

Under the cloak Of public works,
a tremendous amount of money has
been thrown in, in the form of sub

Associated Press dispatch from
Washington, the Army has asked for
an additional $84,000,o00 for "hous-

LENIN ON WAR

We are publishing below various
statements by Lenin, made during
the last imperialist world war.
With the imperialist powers pre-
pairing for war, workers should
study Lenin's teachings on war.
What is this war being Fought for?
Why these unheard-of miseries it
brings humanity? The government
and the bourgeoisie of every belli-
gerent country are squandering mil
lions of rubles on books and papers
blaming the opponent, arousing in the
people a furious hatred for the en-
envy, stopping before no lie whatever
in order to picture themselves as the
country that was unjustly attacked
and Is now defending" itself In
reality, this is war between two
groups of predatory great powers, and
it is fought for the division of COL
onies, for the enslavement of other
nations, for advantages and privileges
in the world market. This is most
reactionary war, war of modern
shareholders fought for the purpose
Of retaining and strengthening capt.

reservation to the proposed disarm-
ament agreement, Japan, already
engaged in imperialist war in the
Far East, and whose provocations
against the Soviet Union follow each
other daily, demands authorization
to build bigger guns and bigger
tanks than were provided for in the
original draft treaty. Instead OF
452 inch guns, she demands $40
inch guns, and instead of 16 ton
tanks, the Japanese are asking for
20 ton tanks.
This move on the part of the war
government of Japan follows its
previous demand at Geneva for
navy as large as that of either the
United States or Great Britain.
Here again can be clearly seen
the proper functions of the dis
armament conferences" of the i'm
perialists-the building of greater
ornaments - and in no circum-
stances the reduction of ornaments.

"In all the Frankfurt am Main
storm troops, unrest has been going
on for quite some time. In order to
put an end to the dissatisfaction and
give it a different outlet, the leader
ship arranged an attack against the
Communist and Social Democratic
workers. However, these organized
attacks had the opposite effect. Quite
frequently it resulted in fraterniza-
ton between the members of the
storm troops and the Communists.
"In the second half OF May con-
siderable section of the dissatisfied
storm troopers were sent to the Pfaltz.
A section of the exiled storm troop
ers returned to Frankfurt On the
5th of June, there took place meet
ing of the storm troopers at which
one of the leaders of the lower Or
CARNATIONS spoke and declared that
the exile to the Pfaltz by the fascist
leaders was done for the purpose of
cleansing the ranks of real social
lists, This speaker, who was widely
applauded by the storm troopers,
wound up his speech with the state
ment Where is the promised Social
list Four-Year Plan?'
Ats this meeting was also present
a senior leader of the storm troops,
Fonjagov, who was unsuccessful in
his attempt to stop the speech of the
leader of the lower organization. The
rank and file who were present at
the meeting would not allow it, and
Fonjagov was finally compelled, to
the accompaniment of misses from the
assembled storm troopers, to leave
the meeting. This meeting also voted
to adopt telegram which was sent
to Hitler reading:
1.-THE Frankfure storm troopers de-
mand the carrying out of the social,
list program and the fulfillment Of
the Socialist Four Year Plan. The
storm troopers demand an immedi-
ate answer in period of three days"
"This ultimatum calls for the dis
bandment of all storm troops of
Frankfurt am Main. AS the major
ity of the storm troopers are armed
and they refuse to voluntarily turn
over their arms, the fascist leadership
organized police raids with the aim
of forcefully disarming the storm
troopers, but even at this rate they
did not succeed in finding the weap-
ons."
Thus we see that the growing dis
satisfaction among certain strata OF
the storm troopers, who are begin
ming to free themselves from fascist
demagogy, is growing and assumes
the proportions of real spontaneous
revolts. 1t is no wonder then that
in the last few weeks the Hitlerites
have carried all through Germany
number of police raids in which they
arrested those storm troopers who
openly expressed their dissatisfaction
with the fascist leadership.

Ing prepared and trained how to fight

Legislature appropriated $350,O00 for

the striking miners, which suppressed

attacked and killed miners.
In view of all this, this years prep

preparations for anti-war demonstra-
tons on August must be concen-
trated in the shops, trade unions,
among the Negro masses, among
young workers, among the unem-
picyed and among the toiling farm
ers. We must, in connection with this,
concentrate our attack and explain
the treacherous role of the A. F. of L.,

daily exposing the war plans of the
American government, explaining
the role we are to play in the strug-
gle against war today, and not on
the day of declaration of war. A
struggle must be started today if we
are to carry effectively the struggle
against war. The struggle against
war cannot be separated from the
daily struggles of the masses and in
struggle against capitalism. There
can be no struggle against war with
out a struggle against capitalism.
The working class and the toiling
masses, under the leadership of the
Communist Party, can be factor in
postponing the outbreak of the war,
but wars under capitalism cannot be
abolished. Only with the overthrow
of capitalism can wars be abolished.
The Soviet Union peace policy shows
this conclusively.

The Historic Fight of
Gussev Against
LOVeStOne
BY TOM BELL
A Leader of the British Communist
Party

A Leader of the British Communist
Party
I had occasion to work in close
collaboration with Conrade Gussev
for over eighteen months. In this
period special attention was being
given to the American Communist
Party, then torn by fractional fight
ing. 1t was the time when Lovestone
was paralysing the Communist move
ment in America by his gangster
methods.
The circumstances were particular
ly painful for Comrade Gllssev, who
for several years before had given
special attention to our Party in AM
erica.
During this period he had done
everything possible to win the Party
leadership, and especially Lovestone
and his immediate associates, for the
building of a real Bolshevik organiza-
ton.
But, during and after the Sixth
World Congress, when it became clear
Lovestone was no longer in harmony
Will Glle SOilllllte1Aiy SOii1 duc 1uoSCF
unhesitatingly fought and exposed
Lovestone.
Such moments are always difficult
for the Executive Committee of the
Communist International They call
for the greatest care and patience,
especially when honest workers are
being deceived, as many American
workers were, by petty bourgeois
demagogy, of which Lovestone was a
past master.

us logically to the inevitable outcome
Of the Roosevelt policy This policy
is the policy of American finance
monopoly capital. This inevitable
outcome will be q new war. There
is no other way out" for interna-
tional capitalism. The London Con-
ference has gone the way of the
Geneva Conference. The inperialist
powers will now proceed to a redivi-
sion Of world markets through war,
and through their long anticipated
attack on the Soviet Union. These
are the lessons that we have to learn
from London. Roosevelts economic
policy of trade war, and ultimately of
armed conflict, goes together with,
and depends on, his domestic policy
Of price raising, wage cutting, and
other attacks on the workers.
OUT We have one other lesson to
II learn from the London Confer
ence. That Conference was not only
the scene Of the struggle of the cap
italists for markets, it was also the
scene Of a clash between the worlds
of capitalism and socialism. The
speech of the Soviet Commissar for
Foreign Affairs, Maxim Litvinoff,
told, not of unemployment, decreas-
ing production, and the other condi-
tons Of crisis that prevail through
out the capitalist world 1t told of
the Soviet Unions capacity to absorb
81 ,0O0,00O,O00 worth of goods, it told
of the economic peace policy of the
Soviet Union, it told of rising pro-
duction, Of the abolition of unemploy-
ment, of the victories of socialist
construction, of the continuous rise
in the standards of living of the Sow
let masses. The workers and peas
ants of the Soviet Union took the
revolutionary way out of the crisis.
This is the other lesson brought out
for the workers and farmers of the
United States by the London Con-
ference.
With the intensification of the cap
italist crisis, the capitalist countries
are moving ever more rapidly in the
direction of war. A new division of
world markets will only take place
as the real result of war. This means
also a tremendous growth in the
danger of interventionary war against
the Soviet Union. At the London
Conference Itself, the government of
Fascist Germany, in the infamous
Hugenberg Memorandum, offered it
self as an instrument for such inter-
ventionary war. The Hugenberg
Memorandum suggested that the
territory Of the Soviet Union would
be suitable" area for German colo
nization. This statement of the
Memorandum expresses aloud what
every imperialist power wishes in its
heart.
If we remember the growth of the
danger of war, the growth of the
danger Of intervention against the
Soviet Union, if we remember the
collapse Of all other capitalist ways
out" of the crisis except those of
blood and destruction, if we remem-
Der the way out taken by the pro-
1 letariat of the Soviet Union, the
heroic October Revolution and the
victories of socialist construction won
by the Soviet workers since the Revo-
luton, if we remember these things
then we shall have learned some of
/ the lessons the London Economic
Conference had to teach us.

before reaching conclusions.
Quietly, modestly and unobtrusively
he came to Commission sessions,
sometimes not deigning to say word.
At times he would put a question,
listening patiently to all the argu-
ments for and against, until one Won
dered whether this man was really
interested in the proceedings.
But it was Comrade Gussev's way.
And when finally it was necessary to
reach conclusions no one could be
more clear practical and firm in TAX
ing decisions. He had thought it all
out. His ideas were concise and log
ical, and there was no dubiety as to
where Comrade Gussev stood. Love-
stone is now a renegade.
Comrade Gussev was an exemplary
comrade. The closer one got to him
the more his personality radiated that
confidence and disinterestedness which
marks the great figures of Bolshev-
ism, the disciples of Lenin.
1t Is just those qualities of Com
rade Gussev we can illafford to spare
in these days of revolutionary fer
ment and war. For those reasons I
hope the Comintern will give us more
of the life of Comrade Gussev.
From study of the life and char
acter of these devoted sons of the
1roletarian revolution our youth, the
future leaders of Communism, will
learn how to fulfill in practice the
traditions and teachings of Bolshev-
ism. 1t is their finest theoretical
school, and the best memorial to the
work of the old guard of which Com
rade Gussev was one Of the best.

HOSTILITY GREETS
FASCIST FLIGHT
TO WORLD FAIR
Authorities Prepare
Provocations to Stem
Protest Actions

CHICAGO, July THE squadron,
demonstrating Fascist Italy's air
strength, which is flying from Rome
to Chicago, for the World Fair, has
been forced to change its plans and
will moor in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin,
and not, as previously intended, on
the Chicago lake front.
This change has been forced as a
result of the great anti-Fascist senti-
ment prevailing among the Chicago
workers. A flood of letters received
by the italian Consul at Chicago,
Giuseppe Castruccio, testified to the
strength of the hostility which the
workers feel for the bloody Fascist
dictatorship Of Mussolini.
Already stories are being circulated
that "anti-Fascist groups"-no men
ton Of who they are-have threaten
ed to elbow General Balbo and his
"a seaplanes out of the lake" if they
come to Chicago. These stupid pro-
vocations merit the ridicule they will
get. What the authorities are really
afraid of are the mass demonstra-
tons of the workers expressing the.r
contempt and hate of the fascist en-
missaries.
Arrangements have been made for
motorcycle police to guard the fliers
on their way from Lake Geneva to
Chicago. Governor Schmedeman, of
the Wisconsin milk strike fame, is
again finding use for his National
Guardsmen, detachments of which
are to be stationed at Lake Geneva
to protect" the fascists. One hun
dred special deputies, and land and
water police have been drafted to
the lake to take care of the planes.
