The Socialist Jewish Daily Forward,
commenting on the last national con-
vention of the Socialist Party in Mil
waukee in 1882, states: "AU delegates
agreed that the present regime in So
Wet Russia is regime Of autocracy
and terror, and the convention there

demand .. the abolition Of the die
tatorship and the introduction Of
democracy" What does the above
mean? 1t means that these Socialist
leaders, including the so-called mill
tant wing, demand the overthrow of
the proletarian dictatorship (the only
real democracy for all the toilers)

about general strike to prevent war.

against war just as every imperialist
war-maker speaks for peace" and

and disarmament" talk smoke screen
! that the United States and other
capitalist powers are arning to the
teeth, and are driving headlong TO
the new world war.

preparing the slogans for openly sup
porting the imperialist war that

sharpening their war Indictment
against the Soviet Union by placing
the Soviet Union side by side with
Hitler fascism, and are preparing for
the open support of their respective
imperialist countries in the war they
are feverishly preparing. Here the
Socialist leaders support the NR.A.
war measure of Wall Street. Thomas
praises Roosevelt for NOT interven-
ing in Cuba when SO battleships and
bombing planes are in the ports of
Cuba, and the New Deal" Wall Street
agent, Sumner Welles, is organizing
the native reaction and fascist bands
for drowning in blood the struggles
