Our Tasks Tomorrow

TODAY the carnage of imperiahst war
looms close upon us.
A handful of millionaires and billion
aires, the capitalist ruling clique in every
country cynically, brutally, and ceaselessly
prepare for another world slaughter.
Wall Street needs the blood of the
masses to coin into profits. Roosevelt prepares to
give it to them. He is polishing the bayonets.
The masses were foully tricked in the last war.
Under the Infamous fraud of defense of ciyiiza-
ton" and defense of the Fatherland9 millions of
workers and their sons were slaughtered-for what?
To make the world safe for the capitalist rob
bers for the imperalst plunderers, to enslave the
colonial masses of the world.
Today we meet in the streets of the world to
raise our banners of opposition to imperiahst war
and to its monstrous kin, fascism.
For the masses, imperialist war and fascism
mean hell.
For the employers and the bankers, who organize
these curses Of modern society, they mean more
profits, more ruthless parasitisn.
If the imperialists hurl us into war, there can
be only one answer-to fight not only for peace,
but for final end to the rule of these ruthless
parasites whose class existence has become men
ace to the welfare and progress of the vast majority
of the people of the world Out of imperialist war
we will generate open civil war for the annihila-
ton of the yoke Of capitalist wage slavery, ex-
ploitation and oppression.
TODAY we proclaim our opposition to war. But
tomorrow we cannot fall back into hopeless
passvity. Tomorrow our work begins in dead
earnest. Today and tomorrow the united front of
the working class must be forged in the fires OF
struggle against war and fascism. Tomorrow we
must go into the factories, homes schools, with
the message of struggle against the intolersble
crime of imperialist war.
Tomorrow we must be as vigilant as hawks for
every shipment of munitions which the war makers
send to the Far East and to the countries border
ing the Soviet Union.
ROOSEVELT girdS his war machine for action.
IN The engines of war propaganda whirr faster and
faster every day. Jingoist poison-the reactionary
dstilaton of the watts of the mongers, rolls in
increasing floods over the land The press shrills
for mighty Navy second to none"
We the millions of toilers workers, farmers, in
tellectuals, men, women and children, will not
tolerate again the deadly trap of defense of DEM
ocracy," the trap which masks the imperialist war
aims of the Morgans and Rockefellers.
If the imperialist iackals think that they can
with impunity attack the country of the 1nterna-
tional proletarat the Soviet Union fortress of So
cialism they badly mistaken They will dis
cover to their sorrow that the working class of
the world is ready to die in defense of its only real
fatherland the workers and Farmers Government
of the Soviet Union.
ACROSS the seas to class brothers send
a our solidarity To our heroic class brothers in
Soviet China fighting the 5nercenary troops Of
Chang Kai Shek, we send our proclamation Of ad-
niration and support!
Carry forward the fight against imperialist
war; Let the preparations for the great Second
Congress Against War to be held In Chicago In
September sweep in mighty wave the
country, reaching every trade union local, every
workers group.
