19411284Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Communist Party n.d. 1941. No edition stated. <br /><br />Single sheet of newsprint folded to create four pages of approximately 8 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches 211 x 266 mm. <br /><br />Rare announcement of a speech by Communist Party Chairman William Z. Foster in Los Angeles a little more than a month after Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The announcement appears at the beginning of a text in which the Party calls for the U.S. to spare no effort in defeating Germany: "There can be no peace for the peoples of the world without the complete destruction of Hitler and Hitlerism. Hitler fascism stands exposed as the greatest and main enemy of the peoples of the world."<br /><br />Prior to Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union the Communist Party strongly opposed U.S. involvement in World War II maintaining that the fight between Germany and Britain was an imperialist war. Obviously that policy changed 180 degrees following the German invasion of the USSR. <br /><br />An interesting look at how the Communist Party's position drastically shifted after the German invasion of the Soviet Union. <br /><br />No institutional copies found in OCLC. None in commerce in February 2022. <b>RARE.</b><br /><br />CONDITION: Evenly toned pencil notation at top left corner of cover page couple small closed tears. Horizontal fold probably due to mailing.

Ida Rauh 1877-1970 born into a wealthy family was a trailblazer who rebelled against her upper-class upbringing and who had a great impact on American theater and the struggle for women's rights. After graduating from New York University in 1902 with a law degree she settled in Greenwich Village and began advocating for causes such as women's voting rights the promotion of birth control and the espousal of socialist doctrine. She married Max Eastman and together they heavily influenced the birth of modern theater and the early twentieth-century underground press through the Provincetown Players and the publication The Masses. During this time Rauh also made major contributions to the organization of women’s trade unions and related strike activities.
