It is a policy oi aggression and war. It is criminal to follow a policy
of aggression against the -independence of nations, big and small. We
do not believe the United States is in danger of being attacked in any
quarter or by any force and that the danger that arises among any people
and throughout the world, arises only because of the expansionist
imperialist aggressive practices of Wall Street, We are against all war-
measures that out the living standards of the American people, that deny
the Constitution and the rights that are guaranteed by it and we are
against the militarization of our youth." .

themselves this question: Why should I fight against-the Koreans, Chinese
or any other Power? Gan a Negro truthfully say that he is fighting for the
preservation of freedom and democracy? You cannot give another that which
you, yourself, do not possess. What does the Negro have at stake in this
war? It is about time more Negroes started asking themselves this question.
Why should I fight the Chinese people? Their problems are similar to ours -
the Hg:-oes! in the United States. They are fighting for their liberation
from foreign control. Here, we are fighting for our liberation. The p
two of us can best realize ourobjectives by localizing our actions. We
cannit win freedom for the Negro people by fighting the Chinese in China.
Our fight is here, not there. Our enemies are not the Chinese, but the
ruthless characters in the Soum, such as R!92.NKI|l92T and WRIGHT and/mpany.

struggle against war even if it breaks out. We have no blueprint as to
howit can be done but nevertheless can state our position. We will
express our political opposition to such a war and even as Lincoln and as
other great Americans did who were not in theory Communists and s.evolu- "-
