WE MARCH FOR PEACE

on this May Day. Back in Civil War days, the Confederate soldier summed up his position in these words:

"A poor man's fight and a rich man's war."

A lot of truth in that. You never saw war profiteers in the infantry. The workers do the fighting and dying; the bosses grow rich. Only this time, they're playing with atom bombs. Your boss can buy himself an atom-proof shelter. You and your wife and kids are supposed to fry and like it.

More than any other group, the working class suffers from war; and only the working class, in all its strength, can lead and win the fight for peace.

That's what we march for this May Day, for peace, for a decent world where our kids can look to a future other than death. The whole of the human race looks to the American working class to win its fight for peace.
