The Political Situation in Germany

that the German army and navy fig
ure at the tremendous sum of 700
million marks, while the expenditure
for the so-called productive unem-
ployment relief has been curtailed by
so millions. The item for the techni-
cal emergency service was maintained
at its old figure. On the other hand,
the expenditure for child relief was
abridged in comparison with the last
budget.
The dole for the benefit of neces-
sitous teachers was struck off the list,
the new budget than in the last. Yet
but the so-called church funds, a sub
sidy for the clergy, figures higher in
another instance to illustrate the
character of the budget: BY reason of
the reactionary financial settlement.
Bavaria received special subvention
of 45 millions for the purpose Of COW
ering it's surplus expenditure for it's
swollen reactionary bureaucratic ap-
paratus and its policy Of subsidizing
the church.
TOGETHER with the settlement of
the reactionary budget, the bOur-
geois-bloc Government passed an
emergency labor law, which provides
for the following legal regulation of
working hours. The stipulation where
by the eight-hour day can be length
ened to ten hours by tariff agree

ues to obtain. This ten-hour day can
be exceeded even without any official
sanction in the case of temporary
work undertaken in emergency situa-
tions or for the purpose of prevent
ing the waste of raw materials or the
failure of the fruits of labor. The con-

ary elements have made consider
able headway under the bourgeois

The Chinese Revolution Turns Left

This new phase is a deepening, an
intensifieation of the revolution, at
the moment of military victory, when
all observers concede that it is but
matter of months until all inner
China will be in the hands of the
Nationalist Government.
Communists Participate.
The new personnel of the Govern
ment, established on March II, in
cludes participation of the Chinese
Communist Party. The Ministry of
Agriculture is headed by Tan Ping
shan just returned from Moscow
where he represented the Chinese
party at the recent Plenum OF the
Executive Committee of the Commun-
ist International. The Ministry Of
Labor is IN the hands of Sou Chen
tsen, chairman of the All-China La
Dor Federation, chairman of the
Chinese Seamen's Union, leader of
the famous Hongkong strike, and
member Of the Central Committee of
the Communist Party. Appointment
of Communists to head these two
posts, signalizes deepening Of the
social phases, the foundation, of the
Chinese Revolution.
Shoot From Irritation.
This turn to the left by the Chinese
revolution undoubtedly comes as a
surprise and shock TO American and
British Imperialism. The diplomats
of Downing Street and the White
House had been flirting with the
right-wing Of the Kuomintang, and
undoubtedly thought that their pro-
teges in the Nationalist movement
were prepared TO step in and seize
power just at this moment Of mili-
tary victory. 1t must have been
rather disconcerting to them to have
events move in exactly the opposite
direction. Their chagrin was ex-
pressed by the spilling of the blood
of thousands of Chinese men, women
and children by British and American
gunboats shelling Marking and Wei
chow.

British guns could reach every stra-
tegic point within a few hours, the
right-wing in the Party executed a
coup d'etat, under the leadership of
General Chang Kai-shelS, head of the
military forces and the Whampao
Military Academy. From that time
on, Chang Kai-shek assumed all
power in the Party, expelled the Com
munists from all official positions,
and forced the elected chairman of
the Party, Wang Ching-wei, into ex-
lie, British and American newspapers
suddenly began to speak in differ
ent and more friendly tone about the
Nationalist Government. And when
Chang Kai-shek became marshal of
the Northern Expedition, which swept
thru China in the summer of 1926
and occupied the Wu-Han cities in
November. the imperialists thought
the right-wing was completely in
power in .he Kuomintang.
Under such conditions, how was II
possible to effect such a radical
change as we now see in the Kuom-
intang? How was the right-wine
defeated? And what is the present
danger Of a military coup against the
Nationalist Government? What are

Trained from calling up thn working
masses to serious resistance to the

geois-bloc Government, they are alto
gether unwilling to organize the
fight against the Fascist auxiliary
troops of the German bourgeosie.
The attitude of the Social Democrats
towards the Fascist parade on May
sth, is characterized by the speech
held recently by Horsing, the Social
Democratic leader of the "Reischs-
banner" on the occasion of the great
meeting of that organization in Ber-
lin. In the course of this speech he
said: "In no country of Europe, is
the patience and forbearance Of the
constitutional republicans in dealing
with the enemies Of the Republic, the
political bandits Of the Right and the
Left, so great as it is in Germany"
What Horsing says Of the bandits
of the Right" need naturally not be
taken too seriously, especially since
these reactionary bandits have turned
into republican bandits by reason of
their profession of allegiance to the
Republic. His mention of bandits" of
the left" however, gave the sigma to
the bourgeoisie for a renewed cam
paign against the Communists. In re-
gard to the Stahlhelm day, Horsing
contended himself with advising his
followers to "ignore" the Stahlhelm
parade. This is what is meant by a
"loyal opposition" which practically
amounts to sufferance of, and con-
nivance at, this new -Bolshevist
ally.
THE virulent anti-Communist cam
4 paign Of the Social Democratic
leaders of the Reichsbanner, the pre-
tended opposition of the S. p G. and
the A. D. G. B. to the capitalistic
methods of naturalization and cul-
tural reaction, cannot prevent the
will for united militant action of the
German working class from growing
stronger and stronger among the So
cial Democratic workers. During the
last few weeks many German towns
have seen Social Democratic workers
and proietarian members Of the
Reisehsbanner joining forces with
Communist workers. against the
threatening imperiaGst danger oi
war, the offensive Of the capitalists
and the cultural reaction. In spite Of
the sabotage of the S. p G. leaders
and the trade union bureaucrats, the
1st of May, 1927, will be marked by
the unity of German workers, the
growing resistance offered by the
workers to the economic, political, anC
cultural reaction, and a united front
against the imperialist war propa-
gandists and their aecomplices in the
camp of the Social Democratic Party
and the Second International.
