The foreWord states that this
pamphlet was one Of the last writ
ten by Clara Zetkin, penned With
her own trembling fingers, page
after page often without even notic-
ing that the pen she used had run
dry It makes one marvel even
more than the pamphlet itself at
the magnificence and fire of her
writing. The pamphlet Is not only
thorough basic discussion of the
problems facing workers in the
fight against war; it is an inspiring
call to action. Its pages breath
with the greatness Of Clara zetkin's
personality. Its words convince the
reader once more Of her qualities Of
leadership.

scratched his head and thought
twice about his determination to be

had he read this pamphlet. It
should be put into the hands Of
every worker. Every speaker who
addresses workers on the subject
should Immediately avail himself
of the invaluable material con-
tanned in this pamphlet. 1t is q
powerful weapon in the fight
against war and fascism.

Dear Comrade:
Your registered, air mail. mill
tant class conscious letter, with the
money order for one dollar en-
closed, arrived here on the Dist. I
would love to set forth, in black
and white, my deep appreciation of
the militancy and class
spirit of you and all the members
Of the Rose Pastor Stokes Branch,
and all branches Of the L L. D, and
what feel and think, but I would
be branded Red-the highest
honor I assure you-and my letter
would not leave here and reach
you.
We must devote all our time and
energy in pointing out to the work
ers that they have no freedom, and
never will have, without concrete
assurances of economic security for
all who toll and spin from child
hood to old age. In all those long
dreary years 1 have never permit
ted the faintest doubt to creep
within my senses as to the final
outcome of the perpetual struggles
and sacrifices of the workers, waged
and made, on the agricultural and
industrial fields, What my host of
friends in the craft unions, and all
my foes, failed to grasp, as they
went rushing through life, for power
and profits, was that all the per-
petual struggles and sacrifices of
the workers were not in vain. They
were inherited by the offspring of
the workers and are deeply etched
upon their hearts and minds. Their
social vision is being constantly
lighted from lofty heights by the
star and powerful rays of ma
terialistic ideals which have brought
forth fatherland of the workers.
I never give quarter to friend or
foe who denounces and finds fault
with the workers and fails to go
beneath the surface to the roots of
all social ills. We must see our
own faults and frailities; uproot
them and correct them; then
comes great awakening. The
workers have no faults; they create
and produce all the material things
of life and are denied them by the
exploiters. For generations the
sword and pen had the toilers be-
fuddled and bemuddled with con-
tradiction after contradiction. The
sword did one thing, the pen said
another. The sword and pen drew
one generation after another away
from the hammer and sickle until
they have brought all humankind,
with the exception of one-sixth of
the world, on the brink of ruin.
The older generation says: THE
pen is mightier than the sword"
The younger generation, denied
economic security, are drifting back
to the hammer and sickle and are
beginning to chant: The sword and
pen is mighty for the exploiters;
but the hammer and sickle is
mightier for the workers.
With warm comradely greetings
to you, and all the twigs and all
the leaves of all the branches of the
I. L. D., and all the students and
workers in the struggle, I remain.
Comradely yours,
j. B. MCNAMARA, 25Sl4.
