feature Of the mass work OF the
Party.
Second, is the fight against the
fascination OF the bourgeois govern
ments and against war In every So
called democratic country the process
OF fascination is speeding I'D. The
tasks Of the Communist Party, and
this especially applies to the United
states, must be first of all to brush
aside the fatalist, defeatist concep-
ton OF the insvitability of fascist
dictatorship and of imperialist war,
as well as the opportunist underesti-
nation of the tempo of DEVELOPMENT

understood, is the basic feature OF
this struggle.
Upon the basis of this broad

main features Of this struggle. First
always and everywhere take as the
starting point the defense OF the
everyday economic and political
needs OF the masses. It is impossible
to develop mass struggle AGAINST
fascisn and war upon any other

fascist mass organizations. This is
