democrats have paved the way for
Hindenburg.
by dispensing the workers and
soldiers councils, by splitting the
trade unions. by shooting the revolu-
tionary sailors and workers. by i'm
prisoning the bravest German prole-
tarians, by crushing the uprising Of
the German workers in March 1921,
by helping General Seeckt into the
saddle, by the defense Of the bour-
geoisie with body and soul in 1928,
and by shedding the best blood Of the
revolutionary proletariat, the social
democratic gentlemen have prepared
the way for Hindenburg's triumph.
comlntern Proposed Election
Alliance.
THE Communist International had
proposed to the German Communist
Party to support the social-democratic
candidate In the second election, if
the social-democrats had retained
their own candidate. But true to
their role of loyal lackeys of the
bourgeoisie, the social-democrats
dropped their own candidate in favor
Of the bourgeois favorite, Marx.
"The social-democratic party of
Germany tried time and again to
eliminate from the arena of world his
tory the 10 million strong German
proletariat as an Independent political
force. The vanguard of the German
proletariat, however, refused to be
misled. Once again the leaders of the
social-democratic party of Germany
have demonstrated before the entire
world, that they are as doubtful re-
publicans as they are bad socialists.
There can be no doubt whatsoever,
but that the leaders of the social
democratic party Of Germany and the
Second international will try to put
the blame on tie German Commun-
lists. They will try to deceive the
masses. They will take up the
cudgel against the vanguard of the
German proletariat time and again.
"Hypocritesi Demogogues!
A Record Of Crime and Betrayal.
HAS not the German social
democracy supported the butcher
Zankov? Does not the Hungarian
soelal-democracy and a section of
the Second International support
the hangman Horthy? What is the
difference between Horthy and Hin
denburg? Does not the right wing
Of the italian soclaI-democracy and
section of the Second information
al support Mussollni7 And is Mus
solinl perhaps any better than Hin
denburg7 Do not the soeial-demo-
Gratis and the mensheviks in Es-
thonia support the hanoman Of the
Ethonlan proletariat Ladoner7
Does not the Polish socialist party,
as a party Of the Second Interna-
tlonaI, support the hansman of the
Polish people7 Are not the success
scrs Of Gompers In America the
supporters of the most brutal bour-
geols reaction7 Do not the leaders
Of the Second International, Mac
Donald and company, bow before
the king7
"Such are the fighters against mon
archy and against reaction!
"The class-conscious workers Of
Germany and of the whole world
must realize the significance of Hin
denburg's victory. Those workers who
still follow in the footsteps of the So
cialdemocrats must come to the
realization that the tactics pursued
by the social-democracy inevitably
lead to the victory of world reaction.
n Germany there is a real monarchist
danger. The workers and the Com
munists must see this clearly.
Communists Always Take Sides.
The Communists cannot adopt the
viewpoint that 1t makes no differ
ence to us whether a monarchy or a
bourgeois republic is in power The
Communists cannot remain Indifferent
to this question; they must take the
lead in the real struggle against the
nonarchist danger.
"Once again the Communists offer
their hand TO the socialdemocratic
workers, by proposing to them a
united front for the Joint revolution
airy struggle against the monarchist
danger.
"The political map OF Europe is be-
coming ever blacker with the colors
OF reaction. In series OF countries
reaction is advancing. Turnout the
world the Communists are conducting
a struggle for trade union unity. The
Second international on the other
hand is leading Wild attack against
unity thereby demonstrating anew
that II is the most loyal ally of the
bourgeoisie.
Socialists Oppose Unity.
