PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June ~
The S. K. F. Ball Bearing Plant at

blue-clad thug chain encircled the
factory. Pickets we're few and far

their posts doggedly.
A plan of sympathetic workers to

August LIST Must Be Day
of Militant Struggle
Against War
BY 1. AMTER

/
TWENTY years after the declara-
1 ton of the World War we find
the imperialist governments prepar-
ing for another war. This war is
not planned on the basis of the
scope of the last war. No, this time,
the use will be made of far more
destructive means. Secret formulae
are being worked out to destroy
whole populations. The front" will
be at home-the factories, worke.s'
sections of the cities. Boys will be
sent to the front, while airplanes
will fly over the industrial cities,
dropping bombs and chemicals
which will wipe out the population
at home.
Three hundred billions of wealth
were destroyed in the last war
wealth created by the working class.
Much Of it was for war purposes;
a great part, however, was made
up of factories, bridges, buildings
put up by workers. Ten million
young men gave up their lives.
Millions more have been left living
corpses, their energy and hope
blasted.
Paeifists Aid War Moves
A new generation has grown up
that knows little about the last war.
The U. S. government and all It's
agencies-the American Legion off,
Gals, the leaders Of the A. F. of L.,
of farm organizations, of the Negro
reformists, and in their special
treacherous way, the leaders of the
Socialist Party, are doing all in their
power to mobilize the youth of the
country for the imperialist war
program. Roosevelt does not want
war; ANY soldier who has been
in war is opposed to it,; war is
horrible anG inhuman"-these are
some of the so-called "anti-war
slogans that the irnperialists use.
Take all profit out of war;" says
Baruch. He is seconded by Senator
Borah-but the U. S. government is
meanwhile preparing feverishly for
war.
Millions starve in this country.
Farmers can no longer live on the
land. Negro workers are denied
relief. Foreign born workers are
threatened with deportation if they
fight against the growing hunger.
Young workers are herded into the
military CCC camps. Single men
are being forced to go into the mill
tary transient camps. Families no
longer able to live in the cities are
being shipped to subsistence home

Sixteen million remain unem-
ployed. Millions are working only
