From an article entitled, "The
Intensified Drive Toward Im-
perialist War," by W. Wcinstone.
"7. The center where these
central tasks outlined above are
to be carried out must be the fac-
tories, particularly the war in-
dustries. To do this, however,
the party must make an inner
turn, it must really explain, based
upon the last central committee
letter, precisely why the anti-war
struggle must now be based on
the factories and trade unions.
Only if our anti-war campaign is
developed in the factories, muni-
tion plants, docks and ships can
our struggle against war be effec-
tive. Only by such means can we
actually paralyze the war plans
of the American bourgeoisie; only
in this way can the Soviet Union
be defended from American im-
perialist intervention. The fac-
tories, the places of heavy indus-
try, will be the necessary guaran-
tees that it will be the proletariat
that will lead, which is the only
class capable to lead the anti-war
movements of all non-proletarian
stratas of the population. The
next strategic places for the anti-
war activities of the party and
the Y. C. L. must be within the
armed forces, as woll as within
the various semi-military refores-
tation and concentration camps
of adult unemployed and home-
less youth."   (Pages 937-938.)

"These elements aro valuable;
their contribution to the league
has been considerable, but they
will themselves be the first to
admit that the most important
work of the league—rooting it
among the workers in the basic
and war industries, cannot be
done by them, but only the trade
unions and workers organizations,
and first of all by the Commu-
nists. (Page 266L.)

"The Communist parties of all
capitalist countries must fight
anainst military expenditures
(war budgets), for the recall of
military forces from the colonics
and mandated territories, against
militarization measures taken by
capitalist governments, especially
the militarization of the youth,
women and the unemployed,
against emergency decrees re-
stricting bourgeois-democratic lib-
erties with the aim of preparing
for war; against restricting the
rights of workers employed in
war Industry plants; against sub-
sidizing the war industry and
asainst trading in or transporting
arms."

"It is Imperative that the
A. Y. C. becomes keenly mindful
of the fact that only entrenching
itself in the factories, along with
the working youths, in the cen-
ters of war production, in the
trade unions—only by winning the
working youth—can it really be-
come a decisive force which can-
not be destroyed by war of fas-
cism. " • • The perspective of de-
veloping stoppages of work and
anti-war strikes on the part of
youth and adult workers in war
industries should be raised. The
whole question of militant anti-
militarist activity In the factories
should be dramatically stressed."

"In this situation it Is necessary
not only to talk of peace but to
act against war. Therefore the
the anti-war movement has to
approach those whose work is
closely connected with war pre-
parations, i. e., the workers of
the armament and transport in-
dustries. It is one of the most
important tasks laid down by the
world committee in its instruc-
tions to the national committee
to win for active participation in
the anti-war campaign the work-
ers in the metal and chemical in-
dustries, without the help of
which it is Impossible to manu-
facture war material, the trans-
port workers, without whose help
the war material cannot be
brought to the scenes of war. In
the next few days the national
and local committees will ap-
proach the trade unions and trade
union meetings of these workers'
categories in order to mobilize
with their assistance the staffs of
the transport and munitions fac-
tories. The committees will do
everything in order to get the
slogan of refusal to transport war
material adopted and carried out.
In addition, supervision commit-
tees for the prevention of war
material transports are to be set
up wherever possible during this
great anti-war week.

Cites Strikes as Sabotage
One exhibit, No. 91, contains a
resolution adopted by the Commu-
nist Internationale in 1928, as to
strikes as a means of sabotage. Ex-
cerpts from the exhibit are:
"It Is impossible to 'reply' to war
with a general strike, just as it la
impossible to reply to war with
'revolution." in the simple and lit-
eral sense of the word.
"This holds good to this day. But
while Communists repudiate the
slogan of 'reply to war with a gen-
eral strike,' and warn the workers
against harboring such illusions,
which can only Injure the real strug-
gle against war, they do not by any
means abandon the weapon of the
general strike in the struggle
against war. and sharply condemn
any suggestion to do so as an oppor-
tunist deviation. Side by side with
other revolutionary mass actions
(demonstrations, strikes in muni-
tion works, transport strikes, etc.),
the general strike as the supreme
form of the mass strike movement
is an extremely Important weapon,
and as a transition to the armed
uprising it constitutes a stage in tho
transformation of imperialist war
into civil war. This transformation,
however, does not depend upon the
will of the party alone. It presup-
poses the existence of a revolution-
ary situation, the capacity of the
proletariat for mass action, etc.
These conditions do not as a rule
prevail at the very beginning of the
war; they develop in the course of
the war. But even in wartime the
general strike does not come like a
bolt from tho blue; it comes on
the rising tide of revolutionary
mass action (demonstrations, par-
tial strikes, etc.), and as a result of
the persistent preparation, which
the Communists must make, and
which may entail heavy sacrifices.
Of course, a general strike in war-
time will lead to revolutionary re-
sults much more rapidly than In
peace time, but It Is by no means
easier to prepare for and organize
it in wartime than in peace tlmo."
Dlmltroff Speech Quoted
Exhibit No. 99 Is a speech of
Georgl Dlmitroff. general secretary
of the Communist Internationale,
before a session of its seventh con-
gress In 1935 at Moscow. This is an
excerpt:
"We must strive to establish the
widest united front with the aid of
joint action by workers' organiza-
tions of different trends for the de-
fense of the tolling masses. This
means:
"First, Joint struggle really to
shift tho burden of tho consequences
of tho crisis onto the shoulders of
the ruling classes, the shoulders of
the capitalists, landlords—in a word,
to the shoulders of the rich.
"Second, joint struggle against all
forms of the Fascist offensive. In
defense of the gains and the rights
of the toilers, against the liquida-
tion of bourgeois democratic liber-
ties.
"Third, joint struggle against the
i approaching danger of Imperialist
i war, a struggle that will Impede the
I preparations for such a war."
Action of "Neutrals'* Predicted
In another exhibit. No. 163, Dlml-
troff In a pamphlet published last
year, predicted Italy's entrance Into
the war and said other "neutral"
States would do likewise when it
appeared which was the stronger
side.   This excerpt Is given:
"Many of these neutral States,
and above all Italy, are waiting for
the time when, as the war goes on,
the chances of victory for one side
or the other become clear, so as to
l take the side of the strong, and to
I dig their teeth into the vanquished,
and to tear away their share of the
booty."
Attitude Toward United States
From exhibit No. 18, containing
thesis and resolutions adopted by
tho Third Communist International
Congress, this excerpt concerns the
Communist attitude toward the
United States:
"In the United States of North
America where, on account of his-
torical circumstances, there was a
total lack of broad revolutionary
movement even before the war, the
Communists are confronted with
the first and simplest task of creat-
ing a Communist nucleus and con-
necting it with the working mnsscs.
The present economic crisis, which
hns thrown five million people out
of work, affords very favorable soil
for this kind of work.
"Conscious of the imminent dan-
ger of a radicalized labor movement
becoming subject to Communist in-
fluence. American capital tries to
crush and destroy the young Com-
munist movement by means of bar-
barous persecution. The Commun-
ist party was forced into an lllogal-
ized oxlstence under which it would,
according to capitalist expectations.
In the absence of any contact with
| the masses, dwindle Into a propa-
' gandlst sect and lose its vitality.
"The Communist International
i draws the attention of the united
Communist party of America to rra
fact thaTthe illegalized organization
must not only serve as the ground
I for collecting and crystallizing the
active Communist forces but that It
is the party's duty to try all ways
and means to get out of tho Illegal-
Ized condition into the open, among
the wldo masses. It is tho duty of
,tho Communist party to find tho
i means  and   forms  to  unite these
mnsses politically, through public
activity, for the struggle against
American capitalism."
Attitude Toward Franc*.
As to Its plans for Fiance In fhe
years preceding the outbreak of the
present war. the Third Interna-
tional resolved:
"In Franco, where first tho Chau-
vinist poison of 'national defonse'
;and then the shouts of 'victory*
wore stronger than In any other
country, the reaction against war
developed much slower than In the
other countries. The majority of
the French Socialist party developed
In the direction of communism even
before being confronted with deci-
sive questions of revolutionary ac-
tion through the development of
events.
"This new oriontation was duo to
the moral influence of tho Russian
revolution,   to   tho revolutionary
strugglos In tho capitalist countries
and to the first experience of the
French proletariat In its own strug-
gles with tho treason of its leaders.
The French Communist party will
be able to make tho best and fullest
use of this advantageous position,
in so far as it will be able to liqui-
date in its own ranks—particularly
among the leading circles—the rem-
nants of national pacifist and par-
liamentary reformist Ideology.
"The party must reach the masses
and their most oppressed strata in
a far larger degree than it has done
In the past or Is being done at pres-
ent; it must give clear, complete
and uncompromising expression to
the sufferings and needs of these
masses. In Its parliamentary activ-
ity the party must decisively break
with all the ugly, hypocritical for-
malities of French parliamentarism
which have been deliberately nur-
tured and supported by the bour-
geoise In order to muzzle and in-
timidate and hypnotize the repre-
sentatives of the working class.
"The representatives of the Com-
munist party In Parliament must
tear the veil from the bourgeois
tradition of national democracy and
revolution, presenting It point-blank
as a question of class interest and
irreconcilable class struggle."
