idea of two or even three party

Hatred Manifested
Next to the Communists sit the

between Communists and Socialists,
The Socialists have been the
backbone of the "fulfilment policy,
they have held throughout that Ger

of nation defeated in war. To
gether with the Democrats they have
formed the mainstay of the Repub-

in power the Socialists made little
effort to try Socialistic experiments.
They have limited themselves to
looking after legislation tending to
better the conditions of the working
people Like the Communists. they
emphasize the class struggle.
The Democrats. working hand in
hand with the Socialists in matters
affecting foreign policy, pacifism and
republicanism, differ from them in
denying the theory of the class
struggle. They want to realize the
