Fight Roosevelt War Poison!

Fight ROOSeVeIt War Poison!
TIE Roosevelt war machine IS getting ready for
action.
Roosevelt has succeeded in building up the biggest
war building program in the history Of the country
Beginning National Defense Week" February L.
according to official announcements the press the
radio, the movies, the schools and church win spew
the old vile jngoS with which every capitalist ruling
class fflls the mind Of the masses to make mem fog
get their misery and starvation.
IN THE Far East, where the three major impeEislist
wolves British, Japanese and American imper-
ialiSm sharpening their teeth for the feast of
the plumber OF the Chinese people and the Soviet
Union, Japanese Imperialism has already unsheathed
its bayOnets for the attack against the Uss.R.
japanese Imperialism, faced with the growing pow
Of proletarisn revolution at home Is ready at any
moment TO unge forward In murderous attack against
the Workers Fatherland-
And let 1t not be thought that the Roosevelt recog
milton Of the Us.sR excludes the possibility of Wall
Street aid to Japanese imperialism in the interven-
ton assault For much the imperalist wolves
hate and fear one another, they hats and fear the
Socialist Fatherland Of the Soviet Union even more
And this persistent imperialiSt drive to war sim
lister with the menace Of such misery and suffering
for the millions Of workers and impoverished farmers
in this country they have not yet seen. All this
impealist terrorism and oppression converges in
the common hatred OF the mperialists against the
Soviet Union land Of Socialist Construction. That
is why the frenzied preparations OF the Roosevelt
government are so menacing to the Soviet Union.
COMRADES, we cannot waste moment! The
struggle against imperiaIist war, particularly on
the of its Outburst, Is basic Boshevik revolu-
Onary task, the ulfiIment Of which leads along the
road to the revolutionary struggle for power for the
overthrow of the Wall Street dictatorship
The Communist Party alone can lead the fight
against the Roosevelt plans to send the OF the
working class into slaughter for the defense of Wall
Street profits! Every unit, section and district every
Party fraction in the organization should get
to work at once Do not wait for formal directonsl
Meetings and demonstrations must be arranged at
once, without delay Banners, placards leaflets must
be Immediately prepared carrying message against
the Roosevelt jingoism These pacards and
posters must be displayed to the widest number Of
workers. They must carry slogans exposing the war
propaganda. They must say to the workers war
will not bring back prosperity. 1t will bring misery
to the workers and big profits to the Wall Street
bankers" They must tell the workers war means
more hunger, profiteering and rising costs of living
We must ask the question, and confront the Roose-
welt government with it. Why does the government
find billions for the Army and Navy while slashing
the compensation Of the 1917 war veterans? why
does the Roosevelt government find billions for the
Army and Navy, for record breaking war building
program while nearly 100000 jobless workers and
their families are starving, without any adequate Fed
eral relief or Unemployment Insurance7
The demand that the Roosevelt billions for war
be turned for the Of the $4,000 900 jobIesx
for relief and unemployment insurance must Be At
the center of anti-war demonstrations and
meetings
THE menace Of intervention against the Soviet Union
the land Of proletarian dictatorship, Of Socialist
construction, the land that has abolished wage slave
exploitation, poverty and unemployment, must be
made absolutely clear and the slogan For the De-
Tense OF the Soviet Union must be driven home to the
Masses a major point, as one of the ways that
the working class fights against its capitalist ex-
ploiters at home
The stoppage Of all munitions shipments to jap
anese Imperialism should be slogan prominently
featured on all placards etc This appeal should be
made especially in all transportation centers docks
railroad terminals, shipping centers etc
In exposing the intervention war plans az IAN
anese imperialism we must at the same time with
knife-like clarity, distinguish ourselves from the
roosevelt anti-Japan jingoism with which Wall
Street tries to stir up hatred among the American
masses for its imperiaist rival in the Far East We
must show how Roosevelt Wall Street Imperialism
aids japanese Imperialism with munitions at the
same time that 1t strives to weaken It by squirting
1t into military adventurism against the Soviet
Union, in the hope that thereby Wall Street will
strengthen its position in the Far East
We must show how Roosevelt is financing the
SS'ANV
recent $5oo00o00 cotton loan which went for war
munitions of the Marking government
Especially, against the vile Roosevelt poison OF
nationalist hatreds against the working class Of other
countries we must with the greatest determination
raise the slogan Of PrOIstarian International Soil
darity with the oppressed toiers Of all countrie.
with the victorious working of the Soviet Union
OF China with the exploited toiIing masses Of Japan
we must show how the masses in Japan are fighting
the same world battle against capitalist misery and
exploitation as we are here, that we are part ~
the world army of the proIetariat against world
fascism and imperiaIist war.
Comrades to work against the coming ueak ~
Roosevelt jingoisml For the Defense Of the sov5st
Union
