Germany and Poland.
To the Working People of All Countries
Workers, Working People in Town and County!
Young Workers and Women
The twentieth anniversary of the outbreak of
the bloody imperalist World War will soon be here.
The day is approaching on which the imperalist
war parties will begin a new and even greater
slaughter of the peoples.
Think of the imperialist war!
Think of the ten and half millions killed,
Who if buried side by side would fill cemetery
more than 100 square kilometers in size.
Think of the 100000 wounded, tnvalids, widows
and orphans, who together could populate country
bigger than Switzerland, Holland and Belgium to-
gether Think of the gigantic sums of money
amounting to more than $2500o0y00O,00O, which
were expended on immediate instruments of de-
struction. This huge sum would suffice to ensure
a decent human existence for long time to all
the unemployed, it would relieve all the working
people in town and country from all taxation for
a number of years.
Think of the imperialist peace, of the treaties
of Brest-Litovsk, Versailles, Saint German and
Trianon, which robbed the peoples of hundreds of
thousands square miles of their own soil, placed
millions under foreign yoke, and imposed mil
lions of reparations on the vanqlIished
Think of these treaties which Immediately after
the war sowed the seeds of fresh wars.
Think of the Is years which have passed since
the war, in which social and national oppression
chauvnstic Indictment the tyranny of the rulers
and the ensavement of the ruled have reached
unprecedented dimensions
Think of the years of crisis with their boundless
starvation and misery. Think of the 100000
employed of the millions of people who have COM
mitted suicide in the postwar period.
Think of the millions who have been foully
murdered in the time of peace that the class
rule of the exploiters can thereby be maintained
and new world slaughter let loose.
Think of the past war and fight unrelentingly
against the approaching mperialist world war!
Dozens of wars in all parts of the world have
refuted the slogan with which the war criminals
wanted to deafen the rebelious masses; the fraud
ulent cry of mo more war; :"
Just in 1914 the bellicose parties of imperial
ism occupy the leading positions in the capitalist
state. They want by means of fascism to hold
down the forces which are opposing mperialist war;

war among the imperalist countries to imperialist

benefit Of the stronger States. Enslavement of
the working class, destruction of their rights and
liberties in the fascist countries progressive abol

ready before the outbreak of war are intended at
the same time to prepare the hinterland of the
future fronts
Modern military technique the air forces long
range guns are being got ready in order to do
away with the division between the war fronts and
the hinterland. The bankers the factory owners
the big landlords, their politicians and general
staffs are beginning already now to obiterate the
line OF demarcaton between war and peace in order
to take the working people by surprise with the new
imperialist world war
In all parts of the world the flames of impe-
rialist war are springing up From Toxic to Berlin.
