NEW YORK.-All over the
world, workers, farmers and
intellectuals demonstrate to-
day against imperialist war
and fascism.

day of struggle against these
bloody twin brothers of capitalism.
Into the streets, in marches, mass
meetings and demonstrations, the
workers will raise their voices in
protest.
Hundreds of meetings are sched-
uled throughout the country in
many cities and towns The meet
ings are called by the Communist
Party and in some cases by united
front Of several organizations.
n. Y. Demonstration At 4:30
New York will undoubtedly see
the mightiest August First demon
stration in its history Becoming
more and more aware Of the danger
Of world war and incensed at the
headlong drive toward war spurred
on by the Roosevelt N. R. A.
regime, many thousands of workers
will pour into Union Square at
4:3O p m. from different parts Of
the city.
The growing fascination of the
LaGuardia government in its at
tack on trade unions, and militar-
ization of police for use against
striking workers has awakened
thousands to the sham of LaGuar-
dia's liberalism" and the crying
need for a united struggle of mill
tant action.
Roosevelt's demagogy, too, has
been laid open and the filthy en-
trails Of war preparations and
bloody terror against workers ex-
posed. The Woodring letter an
nouncing record-scale army ma
neuvers. published in Saturdays
Daily Worker, the feet maneuvers
in the Pacific, the demand of Wall
Street for an air fleet "1econd to
none" in face Of similar demand
by British imperislists, and the stu
alton in Central Europe have stirred
the toiling masses to the acuteness
Of a second imperialist slaughter.

spending to the call of the Com
munist Party for immediate, mill
tant action against war and
