Grzesinski, the Prussian social democratic
minister for the Interior, last week delivered
a speech in which he bluntly announced the
suppression of the Communist Party of Ger
many and openly declared that he was only
waiting for the passing of the law for the
protection of the republic.
At the same time this social fascist police
minister issued decree prohibiting all DEM
constructions in the whole of Prussia, and appeal
ing quite openly to the police, to suppress all
demonstrations by bloody force. In view OF
all these measures the Communist Party Is
quite right in pointing out that the social fas-
cists are once again intending to provoke the
revolutionary proletariat to premature armed
collisions in order to avert the revolutionary
danger by means of blood letting OF the
working class.
And in fact workers. blood has been shed
in the last few days. Near Chemnitz. striking
workers who arranged demonstration, were
shot down, in Worms the police fired on
demonstration of unemployed. Everywhere
there are killed and wounded. In Berlin, Pol
ice President Zoergebel makes abortive at
tempt to confiscate two editions of the "Rote
Fahne," an attempt which ended with an in
crease of the number of subscribers to the
''Rote Fahne"
In the whole of Germany there has now set
in such powerful protest action of the broad
est proletarian masses, that the ruling social
fascsts and the bourgeoisie are beginning to
quake. The prohibition of demonstrations by
Grzesinsk is replied to with numerous huge
demonstrations of the workers in all districts
of Germany.
In the Ruhr district there took place the
district congress of the revolutionary trade
union opposition, participated in by more than
1000 workers from all pits and smelling fac
tories of the Ruhr districts, among them being
many christian nom party and social democra-
tic delegates.
The congress was inspired by enthusi astic
proletarian solidarity with the Party of the
German proletariat, the Communist Party of
Germany, whose leader, Comrade Thaelmann,
was loudly cheered by the congress delegates.
The congress greeted the "Rote Fahne" on the
occasion of its confiscation by Zoergiebel as
the .Bolshevist central organ of the German
working class.
During and after the congress the proleta-
rians assembled in all the towns of the Ruhr
district and captured and maintained the
streets against the police. At the same time the
workers in South Germany, in East Prussia,
in Central Germany in the waterside district,
in Berlin are demonstrating in the streets.
Fastory meetings are tSsing place in which
the workers adopting energetic resolutions
against the attacks on the Communist Party.
The Communist Party itself declares in it's
press and in the meetings, that it cannot be
in the least diverted from its revolutionary
policy by the social st-bourgeois threats
and the police terror. There can be no retreat
and no prOvocation for the Communist Party.
The revolutionary party of the German pro-
letariat is concentrating its work on the fac
tories, by carrying on a mass agitation for
the increase of economic struggles against the
Young Plan and the capitalist naturalization,
for the seven-hour day and for increased wages,
for the demands of the millions of unemployed,
| for the drawing of the working women and
the young workers into the revolutionary front
The Party is trying to develop these struggles
into political mass strikes as the most impor-
tant weapon of the revolutionary class strug-
gle in the present situation
