The Polish workers have made demonstretions and strikes as a protest against the w2a. All hail to the Polish workers who are doing their duty under the most difficult conditions!
French and British workers! The issue is in your hands; it now depends on your supporting the Polish proletariat in their struggle against the war. Save Poland from the horrors of war. Help the Polish workers to liberate their country, to help Soviet Russia, to prevent a new war.
The Executive Committee of the Communist International appeals to you to take your part in the struggle against the military adventure of the French imperialists.
Workers of France! Put an end to this ignoble incitation of Poland against the Soviet Republic.
Workers of Poland! Force your bourgeoisie to abandon this new adventure, compell them to give up the war with Worker Peasant Russia.
Down with the international robbers!
Long live the international proletariat!
