"The Communist Political Association is a non-party organi-
zation of Americans which, basing itself upon the working
class, carries forward the traditions of Washington, Jefferson,
Paine, Jackson and Lincoln, under the changed conditions
of modern industrial society ....

"It is shaped by the needs of the nation at war ..... ; it
recognizes that victory for the free peoples over fascism
will open up new and more favorable conditions for progress;
it looks to the family of free nations, led by the great coalition
of democratic capitalist and socialist states, to inaugurate an
era of world peace ..... and the liberation and equality of
all peoples regardless of race, creed or color."

(From the Preamble to the Constitution of the
Communist Political Association)
