er People Must Mobilize To Control Atom Bomb The only real guarantee that the atom bomb will not be misused by the United States government is the world- wide mobilization of labor and all progressive people for a program which will guarantee that certain trends toward fascism are halted in good time and that the democratic rights of labor and the people are preserved. BANGEROUS SEEDS The recent national committee meeting of the United States Communist Party launched a “Crusade for Peace” which is di- rected against the Truman ad- ministration’s inexcusable inter- vention in China, where the dan- gerous seeds of a new war are most evident. Particularly we should emphasize the fight against specific manifestations of American imperialist foreign policy. We should also call a halt to the growing armaments race, for which our country’s atomic bomb policy is responsible. Chinese Banquet A very successful banquet, held to celebrate the victory of the Chinese Workers Protective As- sociation in receiving an award of damages in a two-year court battle, was held last Sunday, Jan- uary 13, in the Bamboo Terrace. The banquet was also held in honor of those who are aiding in the struggle for full democratic rights for the Chinese people in Canada and abroad, and also served to draw together many races in a striking example of in- ter-racial solidarity. Chairman Low Yu Chung ex- tended cordial greetings to the more than 200 guests, both Chinese and. Occidental. He thanked them for their help in the campaign to put an early stop to American imperialist in- terference in China’s internal af- fairs and declared that victory would come to the common people of the world through closer co-operation, regardless of racial difference. Nigel Morgan, Provincial Lead- of the Labor-Progressive Party, pledged support of the LPF in the fight to obtain equal rights for the Chinese people. He commended the Chinese workers for their solidarity and union consciousness and for their de- termination to organize the un- organized despite strong reaction- ary oppositions. Minerva Cooper, Educational Director LPP, and Harold Prit- chett, District President Inter- national Woodworkers of Am- erica, also gave brief addresses praising the splendid record of the Chinese Workers’ Protective Association. Miss Ann Lew, Miss China in the first United Nations Picnic, represented the Chinese Labor-Progressive Farty Branch. Persons attending the ban- quet expressed warm praise for the auality and variety of dishes served, and warmly commended the Chinese Workers’ Protective Association for a highly success- ful social gathering.

OPEN DAY and NIGHT Expert Masseurs In Attendance UNITY FOR PEACE ' America’s national security re- quires (Big Three unity for peace, not compulsory: military train- ing. A peace-time universal mili- tary training program developed in connection with the present imperialist foreign policy could only mean that such prepara- tions would be used for aggres- sive purposes. : The strengthening of Ameri- can - Soviet - British cooperation for a just peace and the fulfill- ment of the Potsdam agreements are essential steps in the preven- tion of another war. | Even the struggle for the eco- nomic interests and democratic rights of the workers and broad masses of the people here at home cannot be separated from this issue. MOBILIZE FOR JOBS We must insist, for example, that America be mobilized for jobs and security, not for a dis- astrous armament race. The further strengthening of international labor unity as the key to increasing the influence of labor in world affairs is also essential. A unified labor movement can represent the greatest single force in the world to prevent the outbreak of a new world war, and block the use of atomic en- ergy against the freedom of the peoples of the earth. The threat of the atomic bomb is felt keenly today by all the peoples of the world. Its exist- ence, however, should not lead us to fantastic conclusions about the inevitability of a third world war, or the inescapable destruc- tion of world civilization. Such an attitude would not be a realistic one, for it is possible for the people, spearheaded by labor, to impede the present drive of our imperialists and to create conditions which will pre- vent the use of atomic energy against the interest of the peo- ple. The discovery of the atomic bomb should greatly spur all these activities because in the last analysis, the danger of mass annihilation can be met only through the successful mobiliza- tion of the great majority of the people to win their demands.

He made a deep study of Marx’s philosophy and of his political and economic theories, applying them to the struggle for Social- ism. He used his understanding of Marxist methods to analyze and make plain the political Significance of the changes which had occurred since the death of Marx in 1883. A NEW PHENOMENON Lenin explained the economic eauses and the consequences for the Socialist movement of a new phenomenon in world politics— Imperialism. He showed that the export of goods to foreign markets had given place to the export of cap- ital—machinery for new factor- ies, the construction of railways, ete., etc., and more particularly the making of big loans to the governments of backward or im- poverished states. The capital- ists of the powerful countries of Western Europe were establish- ing their control over the econ- omic and political affairs of country after country by these means; the colonies which had formerly been chiefly seen as markets for manufactured goods were increasingly important as sources of raw material, and highly profitable concessions. Monopoly was becoming the perdominant feature of capital. ism.
