25, 50 and 75 Years Ago
August 28, 1992
The August 3-4 general strike in South Africa, which involved millions
of workers, shows the advance of a genuine social revolution in South
Africa.
The strike and march showed the growing strength and organization of the
African National Congress as the leader of the democratic revolution.
The ANC speaks in the interests of the toilers.
Working people worldwide should solidarize with the demands being put
forward by the ANC. Their call for the immediate formation of an interim
government and the election of a constituent assembly is the way forward
toward the goal of a democratic, nonracial, South Africa.
September 4, 1967
Since Aug. 10, Washington has undertaken a major new escalation of the
war in North Vietnam. This includes bombing targets only a few miles and
even fewer seconds flying time from the Chinese border and bombing
directly in the center of Hanoi forcing a massive civilian exodus.
The new escalation increases the danger of war with China. It is
occurring precisely when more and more American people are becoming
disillusioned and fed up with the war.
This significant shift in popular opinion offers the antiwar movement an
excellent opportunity to strike a major blow at Washington’s aggression
in Vietnam by building the Oct. 21 National Mobilization in Washington.
August 29, 1942
The fraud of President Roosevelt’s “equal sacrifice” program was
revealed this week when Leon Henderson, OPA [Office of Price
Administration] head, estimated that corporations this year would reap
20 billion dollars worth of profits.
According to Henderson’s estimates, profits in the first year of United
States participation in the war would be four times as much as in 1939
and double the profits of 1940. The Treasury Department estimates that
corporations will amass 17 billions in profits this year.
By either of these figures big business is getting fat on the war.
The trend of wartime economy is clear: more profits for the bosses, a
clamp on wages for
the workers.
