The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-12-13

To the Socialist Party members we say: Your
National Executive Committee put of action on the
united front against war and fascism until 1885.
But now we see the imperialist war mobilization
going on apace. Can we say whether before
1886 the ruling class will not decide to plunge us
into bloody slaughter for the preservation CT their
system for the seizure of new markets, new booty,
new colonies?
Certainly we must unite our forces new to fight
against the oyershadcwing threat Of the danger
we can best do this by uniting our forces to give
impetus to the working class leadership in the
fight against war.
In every branch, in every state, we should make
efforts now to achieve the united front against the
danger of a new imperalist slaughter being en-
gineered by the Roosevelt regime
Let us form the united front against war and
fascsm everywhere! To wait, for whatever hyFo-
critical reason is given helps and strengthens the
war makers.
Tae danger is greatl The Roosevelt government
and TIE employers are already holding their ooun-
CTS Of war. We must mass our forces, the forces
of the toilers against mpogiast war. against fas-
csm for the unity of the working class in the face
Of the grayest danger.

president ROOSEVELT called virtual
council into session yesterday afternoon. The
express purpose of this meeting of the leading war
mobilization specialists of the last imperialist
to prepare to plunge this country at the short
est notice and in the most complete and dramatic
manner into new imperialist slaughter.
No worker should be fooled by the camouflage
about calling the meeting to discuss ways of taking
the profit out of war" Wars are made for profit
to protect the profit of the rich to increase their
plumber in the world market to seize more colonial
booty
Is it any wonder that in discussing the subter-
fuge of how to eliminate profits in war;" President
Roosevelt calls in the expert of Morgan & Co, who
in the last world butchery helped the bankers, the
industrialists and other parasites to clean up
billions out of the welter of blood and slaughter of
the American working class.
Why is this council called at this time?
The Roosevelt government is preparing to threaten
Japan with war in order to force the Japanese i'm
perialists to be content with smaller navy than
Wall Street is now building. The New Deal is
billing the whole country for war in order to in
sur2 the American bankers plumber of the Chinese
and Far Eastern markets.

moving to war and fascism in its desperate and
criminal efforts to get out of the crisis. We have
already had the exposures of the fascist moves. Now
we have the tnunder-bolt news of Roosevelts con-
vocation of virtual war mobilization cabinet
Can anything more powerfully show the need
for immediate united action of all the workers
against the danger of war? Roosevelt no longer
talks in general terms about war preparedness. He
actual calls in the chief experts to draft ways
and means Of labelling every worker, of mobilzing
industry for the prosecution of an imperialis war;
Of bloody criminal slaughter for the preservation
Of the capitalist Profit system for the increase of
its plumber and booty
We must speed our action against war, arousing
and rallying the working class for revolutionary
struggle against Roosevelt's plans now reaching
high stage Of frultion. The danger which
only yesterday hung Europe, in the Balkans
and in the Saar, just as severely and as danger
ousy hangs over the heads of the American toiling
population.
Only revolutionary struggle against Roose-
velt's w,r program prevent war Nevertheless,
we must rally all those who sincerely do not want
war and are ready to act and join their forces to
fight to prevent it,

A N EDITO RIAL

Unable to hide the fact that he has spent billions
for war preparations, Roosevelt is forced to talk
about taking the profit out of war" Unable to
hide from the masses that he is getting ready to
plunge them into the bloodiest, the most criminal
slaughter In history for the profit of the rich para
sites in this country Roosevelt talks about raising
the wages of the soldiers in the next world
slaughter.
The Roosevelt government despite all its promises
and dernagogy, has not been able to solve the
economic crisis The conditions of the masses work
ers and farmers grows worse. The unemployed
have their relief slashed while the profits of the
employers are forced up at the expense of the
whole working class.
In this situation the Roosevelt government now
moves to the most drastic measures in effort
to drive American capitalism out of its crisis this
time at the expense of the wholesale slaughter,
manning and butchery of the American workers.
What mcckery to talk about taking profits out
of war; in order to hide the fact that the Roose-
welt regime is rushing to most gigantic imperialist
slaughter with seven league boots
Every day brings before the American workers
what the Communist Party has emphasized and
warned them about. American capitalism is rapidly
