The District Committee of the
Communist Party, however, plans to
make these meetings more than
celebration of a past event. 1t plans
to utilize them for uuickening mass
resistance to the imperialist war
plans Of the Roosevelt government
and for support Of the peace poll
cies of the Soviet Union.
Declaring that every new inter
national development points with
greater emphasis to the danger of
a concerted attack on the Soviet
Union by the combined imperialist
forces of Europe and the Far East
with the encouragement of Amer
lean finance capitalists, the District
Committee called for overflow at
tendances at all five meetings.
In its official appeal urging work
ers to attend the meetings, the Dis
trict Committee said, in part:
'The toiling masses of the world
by the tens of millions will rally
tomorrow to defend their socialist
fatherland from the growing dan
ger of imperialist intervention. The
workers and farmers, and all OPP
pressed people, the professional and
white collar workers, will on this
day declare their readiness to de-
fend the land of socialism, the
Soviet Union, the country that
stands as the highest defender of
world peace, as the chief obstacle
to the imperialist plans for new
world slaughter.
THE danger to the Soviet Union
grows with the continued world
crisis of capitalism The imperial
ist powers are never for one mo-
ment reconciled to the continued
victories of socialism in the Soviet
Union, that become the greatest
inspiration to the toiling and OPP
pressed masses the world over.

dents, professionals. Turn out in
