To Comrade Foster: On the occasion of your sixtieth birthday, we extend our congratulations to you. Your leadership of the Communist Party USA and the labor movement has transformed the American proletariat into a powerful revolutionary force. As war and the reactionary schemes of Wall Street brutally undermine the people’s livelihood and fiercely attack the civil rights of the American people, the working class and all progressive forces will rally even more closely around the Communist Party USA under your leadership, waging a struggle for the triumph of peace and democracy. Mao Zedong
