Lifted New York, Dec. 17.
The Communist Party of America today ordered its members to stop boycotting German goods, but to continue boycotting Japanese imports.
Mr. William Z. Foster, national chairman of the Communist Party, in explaining the new order, said, "This (the Allied-German struggle) is an imperialist war, one in which the workers have no interest except to bring it to a speedy conclusion.
"It does further the workers' cause of peace, democracy and socialism to single out one side in the war either for embargo or assistance, regardless of whether this side be the Allies or Germany. With the Japanese boycott, however, the situation is fundamentally different. The struggle of the Chinese is a just resistance—a necessary defence of their liberties and national independence."—United Press.
