Only one State is fighting unswervingly for
peace, only one State has made the abolition of
war it's cause.-the State whose leading Bolshevist
Party under the leadership of Lenin converted the
fratricidal imperalist war into the only justified
war of the oppressed against the oppressors, the
State whose leading principle is not capitalist profit
but the well-being of all toilers the State which
is building up Socialism the fatherland of the toll
ers of all countries, the Soviet Union.
In spite of all provocations, the Soviet Union is
unswervingly pursuing its peace policy, the policy
of proletarian internationalsm
Proletarians of all countries Young workers.
Women
You are the force which saeS humanity from
the fresh fratrcida slaughter There is still lack
ing the unity of the working class in order, by the
overthrow of capitalism, to put end to mpe
rialist wars. Only the common class struggle of
the proletarians in alliance with the toilers in
town and country can bring to naught all the
plans Of the financial capitalists the Grim
inals, the profiteers, the diplomats, the Par
lamentarians and generals. To this unity in the
class struggle against capitalism, against its
y,
toilers, men and women old and young in the
imperalist countries in the dependent and colonial
countries We appeal to you, no matter what the
color of your skim no matter to what nation you
may belong +.
We appeal especially to the socal-democratic
workers. to the members of the reformist trade
unions, as well as to all workers who are under
social democratic influence:
On the basis of the solidarity of all toilers

pressors, the basis of proletarian international
ism, against the fierce Indictment of one nation
against the other, all fight with us Communists
and members of other revolutionary organizations
against the preparation, against the letting loose
of a new imperialist war.
We address to the social-democratic parties the
following proposal:
In spite of the fact that at the commencement
of the imperialist world war you sided with your
own belgerent bourgeoise in spite of the fact that
you approved of the imperialist peace treaties and
voted for fresh ornaments in spite OF the fact that
by this policy you have split the workers move
nent, we propose to you:
Organize and carry out joint demonstrations to-
gether with us on the twentieth anniversary of the
outbreak of the war, on August 1st, under the
slogans:
Not man and not penny for armament pur-
be used to provide unemployment, sickness, in
validity and old-age insurance for the working
people in and country and for tightening their
burden of taxation
Not train, not ship must be allowed to leave
which is transporting munitions and implements
for war for Japan or fascist Germany
Protect the Socialist Soviet Union and its So
cialist construction from the counter revolutionary
war and the imperialists!
Protect the revolutionary democratic Chinese
Soviet Republic from ter-revolutonary attacks
Protect China against its being carved up by
the imperialist powers!
Protect all colonial peoples from the robber
paign of the imperialists!
Workers and employees! Working peasants
Small business people, small shopkeepers! Young
people, women?
We summon you to the common fight against
those who are seeking to kndle new imperalist
Fight together with us against capitalism, the
cause of all wars, for the overthrow of the rule
of the bourgeoisie for Socialism,
Down with imperialist warl
Down with fascism!
Long live proletran internationalism!
Long live the united fight of all proletarians and
toiers for the overthrow of capitalism
Long live the world revolution!
