The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-02-27

NOTE-This is the second instdlment of
the speech delivered by the Czechoslouakiau
Deputy Gott1Uald in Parliament.
YOU Socal-Fascists attempt to prove to the
workers that you have entered the govern
ment in order to defend the interests of the
workers. We call you Social Fascists" and
you declare that this is an insult. In the same
manner, rascal and murderer, if he would
be called by his true name, would declare that
this is an i,Sllt. The appellation social
fascist" is merely an Indication of what
actually exists.
And finally your practice, strlke-breaking,
espionage, your auxiliary work in the service
of the employers, your collaboration in all of
the crimes against the working masses, this
is socal-fascism.
With your first acts of violence you have
proclaimed the against the working
masses, you have proclaimed war against the
workers and the Communist Party. Very well,
we accept the challenge!
What have you at your disposal? In your
hands are the schools the churches, the print
ing shops, the prostitute journalists and the
prostitute orators, you have at your disposal
the spies, policemen, gendarmes, you have at
your disposal the army the jails, the gallows.
You have the social fascsts who even at the
present Time lureQ q considerable part OF the
working class into the capitalist yoke. (Ex-
CARNATIONS from the deputy seats) But you
must know that with bayonets one can do
everything, but to sit on them, that against
the social-fascist poison there exists good
antidote-the experience of the workers and
of the Communist Party
Do not forget that all that you have at your
disposal was to even greater extent at the
disposal of the czarst government in Russia.
Despite this fact, it broke apart into thou
sands Of pieces. What has the proletarat at
it's disposal? First of all, it has the quant-
tive and qualitative superiority (eXclama-
tons from the seats). The proletarat in its
sufferings and severe struggle, has acquired
a strong fist. The proletariat possesses the
fighting capacity and the endurance Of young
class which is fighting for power Not you,
but the workers. the proetarians, stand at the
machines where arms and guns produced.
Not you, but the proletariat is preparing and
serving the armored cars, tanks and airplanes.
The majority of the boys in the army, the SOL
diers belong not to you but to us, the prOle
tariat.
The proetariat has also its Communist Par
ty and the Soviet Union. (Cries: This is it's
misfortuneD You attempt here to rdicule
the Communists. You write in your journals
that the Communist deputies could be recog-
nized by their dirty collars but you have dirty
souls. Behind the laughter the soul of a spec
cuator is hidden, your mockery of us is not
sincere, it hides fear and anxiety (cries). You
call us an insignificant group. But why does
this negligible group give you much con-
Germ?
For the PrOetarian State, For Soviet
Czech0s0vakia
Ask every policeman, every spy, they have
no other business than to spy upon the Com
munists. Why are you keeping in readiness
against these negligbles a whole army of
spies and policemen? Why are you prohibit
ing and subjecting to censorship the press Of
such negligibles? Why are you dispensing
and prohibiting our meetings? Why are you
spending millions on bribery of treacherous ele-
ments within ranks? Why are you throw
ing into Jail for months and years best
and most active fighters?
Why are you throwing us, the Communist
deputies out of this parliament? Why? Be-
cause we are Communists. (Interjection: You
are beasts, not human beings)
