193740520San Francisco: Educational Committee San Francisco Communist Party N.d. ca 1937. First Edition. Corner-stapled mimeographed typescript 36cm x 22cm; 6pp printed recto-only. Toning corner creases and general wear; still a complete Good or better example. Dated from text. Rather remarkable Popular Front document prepared by Manuilsky as Deputy General Secretary of the Comintern and clearly oriented toward American Party members as the majority of the text deals with the resurgent economic crisis in the U.S. Though the title of the paper might suggest a style sheet or compositional outline the document in fact is a list of rather explicit instructions to American Party members on how to interpret contemporary world events in the light of current Soviet doctrine the general upshot being that the American economic crisis the rise of European fascism revolution in China and the increasing militancy of the Japanese are all symptoms of the collapse of capitalism and the ". growing resistance of the working class and the toiling masses against the onslaught of the fascist powers!" Evidence of Moscow's direct influence on the CPUSA during this period is hardly necessary to prove a point but this document provides a neat example of precisely how that influence was directed and executed. Unrecorded in this format though a similar document was published in Los Angeles in 1946 per OCLC; this printing clearly much earlier based on text.

Bifolium of newsprint folded to create four pages of approximately 8 1/2 x 11 inches 217 x 280 mm. </p><p>A vigorous denunciation of what became known as Lend-Lease where the US. supplied military assistance to Britain and other Allied countries beginning in 1941. Here the Communist Party appeals for the U.S. to stay out of foreign wars arguing that Wall Street bankers -- referred to here as a "bandit gang" and "the crafty minds of the House of Morgan" -- are the ones who benefit from war. <br /></p><p>"The workers and farmers the people of America have nothing to gain from war. Only the Morgans the Rockefellers and du Ponts -- only the imperialist scavengers -- feast on the blood of imperialist war" the leaflet states in the Communist Party's typically overwrought style.<br /></p><p>This leaflet was published in early 1941 as Lend-Lease legislation was moving through Congress. Despite the opposition of the Communists on one side and right-wing isolationists on the other the legislation passed Congress and was enacted in March 1941. This was just months before Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Needless to say the Communist Party would soon change its tune arguing for an all-out effort to defeat Hitler. And indeed Lend-Lease was used to aid the Soviet Union.<br /></p><p>Rare with no institutional holdings found in OCLC.
