1 perialists, the surrender of Add
el-Krim meant an end of the problem
of Riffian domination. The Bank de
France ct Pays-Bas and the French
colonists; the Spanish-African Min
ing Co., Echevarrieta, the Spanish
business magnate; all thought that
the moment had come for exploiting,
unhampered, the rich resources Of the
mining beds in Morocco. Since June,
1926, numbers of Spanish and French
industrial firms have sent their repre-
sentatives to Morocco to study con-
ditions there with view to establish
ing commercial branches.
But Morocco is not yet a conquered
country. The Riffian loves his indie
pendence; he takes his momentary
defeat philosophically, and waits pa
tiently for the moment when he can
strike another blow to free his coun-
try from imperialist domination

Of the Riffians the French and Span
ish imperialists are preparing an
other military offensive in collabora-
tion. Colonel LeGendre, of the French
army, has been in conference with
General Sanjurjo, the Spanish High
Commissioner, and the counter-at-
tack was scheduled for May. The
antagonisms Of the French and Span
ish in Morocco, however, make It
extremely unlikely that this COLA
boration will be effective. There IS
intense jealousy between the two ma
tions, and the Spanish imperialists
have constantly accused the French
colonists Of furnishing guns to the
/ Spanish zone Riffians. It is only
when the Riffians menace the PRO
tectorate Zones" Of both countries
that they combine for mutual de-
fense.
A Moroccan Demonstration.
The last Riffian offensive took
place when the discussion on Tangier
at the Paris Conference was at its
most critical point. After the sur
render of Abd-el-Krim, Primo de
Rivera, contending that Spain had
"pacified" Morocco, proposed that the
Tangier problem be solved" by
granting Tangier to Spain. This
had long been one of the cherished
dreams of the Spanish-African
League. But before the end Of the
Conference, the Riffians had demon
strated in very conclusive manner
that Morocco belonged to the natives
and not to the Spanish imperialists.
Must Be Independent.
In spite of all the conclusions
signed at the Conference of Algiers
in 1912, at Madrid in 1925, and at the
recent Paris Conference, slicing up
! Morocco and distributing it among
the imperialists of Europe, the un-
regenerate Riffians continue to
demonstrate, by force Of arms and
with intrepid bravery, that Morocco
must be independent.
But the Moroccan war has not
ended. The sympathy Of the workers
, of the world, and particularly of the
. class-conscious vanguard in the Com
munist Parties Of all countries, have
always been with the Riffians il
D their struggle for independence. This
+: sympathy, in the form of moral sup
! port, exposure of lying anti-Riffian
imperialist propaganda, and financial
, and material assistance, must be sus-
tanned and strengthened to prevent
the crushing of the struggle for
liberty.

Fascism in German Factories
By S. PEREvosNIKoFF.


THE German labor press has lately
been paying great deal Of atten-
tion to the fascists, especially to so
called factory fascism," lie. the
work Of the fascists in the factories.
The fascist march on Berlin" or
ganized on the 9Th of May height
ened the general interest in the fas-
cists. There are, however, causes
more profound compelling fresh at
tention to the question Of fascism in
Germany. For a proper understand
ing of the meaning of factory fasc-
ism it is necessary to dwell upon
the advances recently made within
German fascism itself.
German fascism has changed be-
yond all recognition. In the first
years of the war and in the initiation
period it was an INDEPENDENT
movement of the despairing petty
bourgeoisie and declassed elements
Of other social groups-a movement
boasting of an extremely aggressive
programme Of action: the overthrow
of the government and the establish
ment of National Dictatorship. It's
blows were aimed at financial, or, in
the language of the fascist, Jewish
capital" as we'll as against the revo-
lutionary working class. This fascism
thirsted for revenge for the lost war,
appealed to the masses to throw off
the alien yoke, and to wash away in
blood the shame of military defeat.
Fought Peace.
Fascism put up a desperate fight
against the policy of coming to
agreements with the victorious pow
ers-"the eternal foes of the Ger
man people"-and did not shrink
from applying the Terror against the
"betrayers of national affairs" lie.
those who advocated or carried out
such agreements. 1t is enough to re-
call the murder Of Erzberger and
Rathenau and succession of other
terrorist acts, the fascist rising in
Kustrin and Munich, the occupation
of Berlin by Erhardt's brigade dur
ing the Kapp rising to see that the
fascist movement of 1919 to 1923
was an offensive, aiming at the seiz.
ure of power. The feeble organiza-
tion of the working class, the con-
fusion among the bourgeoisie and the
violent inter-class struggle made
their chances of success quite on the
cards.
There can be no manner of doubt
that the German fascists would have
used their power if they had man.

lied assistance by the petty bour.
geoisie to tottering capitalism is the
very essence of fascism. The ultimate
aim of fascism is to strengthen the
power of enfeebled capitalism with
the assistance of an independent pet
ty bourgeois movement initiating it:

ist and "non-class" slogans.
