the Socialist Party for a united
front of struggle against imperialist
war and fascism was enthusiast
ically issued in a resolution adopted
unanimously by $4,000 workers who
massed in the huge August First
demonstration Wednesday in Union
Square.
With 10000 persons reported in
the Square at press time yesterday,
thousands were still marching from
various parts of the city to join
the demonstration. When the res
olution calling for a united front
was read the Square was jammed
and thousands were standing in
the park and nearby streets.
The complete resolution follows:
I'VE, $4,000 New York workers in
mass demonstration assembled on
this International day of struggle
against war and fascism, August
First, at Union Square, realizing
that:
q. The danger of another world
war is more acutely threatening
than ever before. The whole capi-
talist world is armed to the teeth.
The armament race is proceeding
with break neck speed, and that
%. The New Deal is carrying
through intense armament and war
preparations. Over a billion dollars
is appropriated for these purposes
in 1885. The largest peace time
army in our history has been built.
Both the U.SA. and Japan are
racing for building a navy second
to none. Assistant Secretary of War
Woodring announces a plan for
building the mightiest air fleet. At
the same time, Great Britain is
pushing the same aim. Elaborate
secret war games on a gigantic
scale are arranged in New Jersey.
One million boys are to be trained
for cannon fodder in C.C.C. camps,
and that
%. A preparedness campaign un-
paraleled since 1915 has been un-
leashed throughout the country by
the new deal aiming at the miItar-
ization of the population, the whip
ping up of war patriotic frenzy,
especially amongst the youth, and
that
q. The whole new deal program
is a program of the most intense
war preparations. The wholesale
use of troops, police and fascist
terror criminal vigilante raids and
murder of strikers melted by the
NR.A. administration are direct
steps to fascism, and that
5. FaScism is the twin brother
of war. Fascism aims at setting up
a bloody, terrorist dictatorship of
the bankers and trust millionaires
in an attempt to destroy the rights
of the workers and crush all re-
sistance to the criminal war ibsIans.
FaScism glorifies militarism and
mass murder, follows a foreign
policy of criminal gangsterism and
war provocations, stirs up race, ma
tional and religious hatred as the
theological basis of war, and that
IS. The struggle mainly between
German and Italian fascism over
Austria tremendously sharpens the
war danger and needs only a spark
to set off the world confagration.
The catastrophe situation of. Ger
man faSciSm and sharpening eco
nomic and financial crisis of Ger
man capitalism drives the Nszi
regime to mad war adventures.

Soviet Ukraine. Japanese imperial

to provoke war against the Social

We hail with enthusiasm the
