The War Plans Are Ready

THE coming barrage Of jingoist poison that the RooSe-
welt government plans to let loose next week. be-
ginning February IL, is given startling meaning
by paragraph from syndicated Washington cor
respondent Paul Malon who writes as follows:
"A Democratic leader wanted to bet 10 to that
there will be between Japan and Russia before
May 1. The splendid expansion of commercial
aviation gives ships and filters than
any country match.
"The 100000 C.CC. boys have been divided into
squads and companies under Army officers They
have been taken through the preliminary stages of
organization that month Of military tactics
would make soldiers out Of them. -.
each important factory in the United States
has secret plans In it's safe ready to convert
its products to in moment. :"
In these words, which are set to reach millions
of readers, the sound of unbridled war jngosm and
reaction now being set into motion by the Roosevelt
Wall Street government are Enthusiastically heard.
They reveal what is typicaly behind all the Roose-
welt Social projects like the C.C.C camps for the
jobless youth-war preparations
They reveal that behind sanctimonious mask
of pacfsm and national defense" the Roosevelt gov
eminent is swiftly launching the American masses
into another world imperialist slaughter which will
make the last look tame in comparison Roosevelt
cannot feed the people. He therefore, prepares to
send them to slaughter in defense Of Wall Street
profits.
The 18th Plenum Resolution of the 18th PIenum
OF the Executive Committee Of the Communist Inter
national in its recently published resolution stated:
"The international situation bears all the features
of the eve Of new world war. The bourgeoise
wants to postpone the doom Of capitalism by a
criminal imperialist and a ter-revoIutionary
campaign against the land of victorious Socialism
In fighting against war; the Communists must pre-
pare even now for the Transformation Of the i'm
peralist into civil war, concentrating their forces
in each country at the vital parts Of the war
machine"
In this connection 1t is necessary remember that
Lenin always pointed out that the revolutionary
struggle against after it has broken out depends
on how well the Party has fought against it before
it broke out
1t is in this spirit that the entire Party every
unit section and district without waiting for formal
directves, must arrange for meetings and demonstra
tons to counter-act the Roosevelt lingo war poison

following the speech of Zinoviev,
former head Of the Trotski- zinoviev

crimes against the Party and working

faction, today's discussion was closed
by speech by Kamenev, also a
leader OF the opposition to the Party
line during the days of the Trotskyist
opposition.

The next speaker, Budenny, is
created with a tremendous ovation, as
one of the best loved of the country's
military leaders. He devotes his
speech to the urgent problem of pro-
viding the country with an adequate
supply of live stock. He urges that
the Party take the whole matter of

following the directives of Stain.
Kaganovitch Speaks
The final speaker of the twelfth
day, Kaganovitch, member of the
Party Polburo and Secretary of the
Party organization in the Moscow dis

lasts for many minutes, bursting forth
with renewed vigor every time Kaga-

800 Pounds Of Nazi
Literature Found in

Meant for Distribution
Throughout U. S. and
South America

NEW YORK .-That widespread inn
portation Of Nazi propaganda into
this country is in progress while the
committee to investigate Nazi activi-
ties in the o. S., formed some time
ago and headed by Congressman
Dickstein as result Of pressure ex-
erted by exposes which appeared in
the Daily Worker, remains inactive,
was again brought to the fore yester-
day.
This was revealed when 300 pounds
Of Nazi books and pamphlets wrapped
in small packages addressed to four
people in New York, Chicago, De-
troit and Cincinnati, were discovered
by customs officials Tuesday in the
cooks cabin Of the German freighter
este" 1t was the largest single batch
ever discovered here, although Sys-
tematic Importation of Nazi literature
has been going on for some time, as
exposed by the Daily Worker several
months ago.
The chief cook, Martin Pallor, IN
whose cabin the material was found,
was questioned briefly by federal GUS
toms officers, and then set free. The
captain of the ship, S. Kampen, is
known to have conferred with the
Nazi consulate here, thereby effecting
Pallor's release.
The four men to whom most of the
parcels were addressed were: Fritz

Hans G. Strauss, 1921 Baldwin ST.,
Detroit; Engelbert Roll, 152 E. 83d St.,
New York City, and Alfred Knodlers

The booklets, printed in German.
English and Spanish, contained
speeches by Hitler, Hindenburg and
other Nazi chiefs, as well as articles
attempting to gloss over the fascist
atrocities in Germany since Hitler's
accession to power. One Of the PAM
