pal nation in Europe is in a minis
terial crisis which is reflection of
shaken and decaying economic stab
ilization. This proves how vain and
ridiculous are the claims of oppor-
tunists of the international right
wing renegades from Communism
and those who, as conciliators, pro-
tect them from the expulsion they
deserve.
1t is hardly necessary, in spite of
the absurd arguments of the Love-
stoneCannon opportunist combina-
ton in the United States, to go into
great detail here to show that
American economy is also in cri-
sis. Any ordinary worker can see
what these coInter-revolutionists
cannot. And the Communist Party
of the U. S. A., invites these ordi-
nary workers to join it; it urges
them to join now, and help the Party
of their class make up for the time
lost by the obstruction to Commu-
mist work and growth these scoun-
drels put in the way before they
were expelled.
The Balkans are in chronic
crisis, while fascist Italy lives only
on the financial handouts of Wall
Street, which is deeply interested in.

10000 public service workers to cut

stuffed up with loans to serve as a
post in the war fence around the
Soviet Union. 1t, too, has been ord

Yugo- Slavian fascism holds to
power only temporarily by the use

hell of Pilsudski is bankrupt and
would be declared so but for its
value to Imperialism in the war front

the Polish workers are on sharp
offensive that is shaking Pilsudski

the socialist-fascists in the parlia-

become "ill''-a political illness.

Germany in Growing Crisis.
Germany has the sharpest form of

The Allied Looters, commanded
by the American, S. Parker Gilbert,
and speaking through the financial
dictator, Hjalmar Schacht, head of
the government bank, demand their

The Wall Street bankers, Dillon,

part of the robbery if they will
help in loading all the reparations
burden on the German workers.
Though the treasury is empty, taxes
must be reduced--but only on cap
italists and corporations. Taxes on
goods consumed by the workers are
to be raised and existing relief
given the unemployed is to be cut
down and eventually cut off en-
