lessened their attempts to gain
foothold in AbysSinia in return for
major support Of Britain, Italy and
Germany in the war moves against
the Soviet Union.
Hence, out of the series Of con-
ferences that have taken place in
Europe recently, the following war
moves have resulted:
AbySsinia is being invaded, and
all Italy is being modified for
war.
British Imperialism is offering
German Faseism a new series of
alliances, whose main aim is to
break the Franco Soviet alliance,
and to mobilize the European
capitalists to support Japanese
Imperialism in its war plans in
Manchuria, in the Monaghan
Peoples Republic and in Siberia.
Hitler sent his agent GOering to
Poland in order to bolster up the
anti Soviet war front in that
country.
Towards the end of last year,
the Scandinavian countries held
a conference over the Aland Is
lands. war base in the Baltic
aimed at the Soviet Union. This
conference was engineered by the
British in order to tighten up
every avenue for war against the
U.S.S.R.
Nussolini's actions in speeding
the war against Abyssinia on so
gigantic a scale will have the eff
feet OF accelerating all Of the war
moves throughout the world. in
for a major imperialist
battle, and primarily for the now
rapidly maturing drive against the
Soviet Union, the bulwark Of peace,
and the greatest stumbling block in
the road Of the imperialist powers
in their nefarious schemes for a
new bloody war for Colonial plumber.
Not Isolated
The war in Abyssinia will not be
an isolated event, though this spot
was deliberately picked in order to
arouse the least possible immediate
resistance to the imperialist war
plans.
Forewarned about Mussolini's
war moves, the Communist Party
Of Italy, more than two months
ago, issued an appeal to the TIA
liam masses against Mussolini'S
war pr0vocationS. 1t pointed out
that MussOlini was sIashing wages,
increasing taxation. trying by
every means to overcome the crisis
of Faseism. The Communist Party
of Italy pointed out that now
Mussolini was preparing to wage
war against AbySsinia in an eff
fort to block the rising wrath of
the Italian masses. It called upon
the Italian soldiers and sailors to
tuna this war into a civil war,
into revolution against Fascism.
1t called upon the tciIing masses
to prevent the shipment of arms
and ammunition and of troops to
Abyssinia.
In the United States, the Roose-
welt regime is lending its hearty
support to the worldwide maneuv-
ers for war against the Soviet
Union. Since the major war mo-
bilization against Abyssinia may be
the flame to set off the whole Eu-
ropean powder magazine, it is of
the utmost Importance to develop
in the United States the broadcast
and widest campaign against Fas-
cism's war Of plumber.
Blow at Negro People
Mussolini's war to enslave Abys-
sinia is a blow against the Negro
people and the toiling masses of the
entire world. Mussolini hopes by
this war to strengthen the grip of
Fascism not only in Italy, but to
stave off the rising revolutionary
struggles against capitalism through
out the world.
We must rally the American
masses against Mussolini's murder
Gus war in Abyssinia. Every Italian
consulate in the United States must
hear the angry voices of the Amer
lean toilers, of all anti-fascists of
all opposed to war.
Stop Mussolini's war mobilization!
Hands off Abyssinial Support the
AbySsinian people in their fight for
independence! Fight against the
growing world wide drive to a new
war against the colonial peoples!
Defend the Soviet Union!
