WAR WILL END WHEN WORKERS REALIZE THEY ALONE CAN
 END IT

October 13, 1886
 Waterbury, Conn. Editor of The Democrat:
 In his book just of the press, "The Coming World War;" T. H. Win tringham points out that the Surest way to end war is to convince the working classes that they have the power to change the. system that breeds war. This author sees that the world crisis of capitalism has created a situation which can only be met by war or revolution. Wars of today, he says, are ended, not by great victories, but by collaspe and the revolution of the proletariat that is by the will to war of the people of the centending nations, or by their refusal to obey the powers that drives them into the trenches. Once convince the workers that col lective refusal to serve the war makers, that they refuse to be ex- plotted for cannon fodder, and no war will be possible. That is the intent of world peoples front. that will refuse to fight.
 Once sell the idea to the masses that no possibility can exist for any form of capitalist war and the dic- tators will be out of job. Wars are fought because the industrial work CTS have not the backbone to turn the tables on the war mongers, and seize the power themselves to end the war before it has started.
 The World war bred the first working class revolution and led to the creation of the first peoples government, the Republic of Soviet Unions, whose watchword was "Unite!"
 A second World war would no doubt pave the way for more such revolutions among the industrial workers of the world. Wars are costly and when people are starved to furnish ammunition and armaments for aggressive wars, as in Germany today, the heads of dictators like Hitler, and his ilk are in dangerous jeopardy.
 It may be recalled that when Hitler called for 8 plebiscite prior to the seizure of the Rhlnelano during the last elections in Germany that scores of labor organizations fought against the dictators foxy move to manufacture his personal popularity. At that time scores of leaflets printed under cover were circulated all over Germany. Below is a copy of one such issued m Munich, Bavaria to the anti-faclst people's front, to explain the nigger in the woodpile behind the Hitler plebiscite:
 "Anyone who votes for Hitler votes for war. People of Ger many, you do not want war. NO, and once again no! You do not desire your sons to die under barrage of fire or become cripples in order to satisfy the unquench- able thirst for profits of the mag mates of the war industry. You oo not wish your defenseless women and children to be burned and crippled by murderous poisonous gases in order that the shares or the chemical industry should rise. You cannot desire that, for a long time, in Germany, the lower strata of the people have had no other food besides, Jam, cheese ana horesmeat, and that rationed. You cannot want your children daily to be given only an eighth or liter of skinned milk. You cannot desire that Germany be without everything except hunger, poverty
 and tears. People of Germany, you do not desire war. But Hitler
 does. Hitler is war. Therefore
 answer with a decisive Nov"
 Another leafiet read: 'Hitler speaks of equal rights, but in actual facts he has in view the military hegemony of facist Germany in Europe. But Germany will not be liberated by cannons.'"
 And it is claimed today by in- fiuential Germans of the left wing that Hitler's minister Goehels used all possible means to forge the re- suits of the elections, and went SO far as to change the '.lgo" on scores of ballots, to :sYeg." and also count>
