Fight for an easing of inter-

possible to improve. the condi-
tion of the people, to reduce
unemployment, to raise wages
and living standards, to ex-
pand housing construction and
to enhance social insurance.

Prevent the further stock-
piling of nuclear ‘weapons and
the arming of the-German and
Japanese militarists with wea-
pons of mass annihilation!
