BOSSES PROSECUTE
WORKERS IN ESTHONIA'
BY VAL. S. KOPPEL

THE fascist movement in Esthonia didn't find
i as warm reception as was expected by them.
The war march" on Tallinn Capital of Es-
thonia) didn't take place. the sweeping out the
Communist movement and many more anti
vorkingclass movements we're just dreams OF
fascists The only thing that took place was
sending their delegation to the State head, ana
their demands, regarding the revolutionary
movement, we're presented to the State Assembly,
Everything was put into motion by the fas-
cist leaders to make their movement success,
but it Just didn't 60
But there was something that threw sand into
fascist machinery, and that something was the
Esthonian working masses all over the world,
especially at home, who even in the face OF fas-
cist terror showed their solidarity and their hate
to the white regime.
Even if the fascist terror was avoided for
the present it certainly didn't lessen the per-
secution of working masses by the so-called de
mocratic" government of Esthonia During the
month of September three mass trials were held,
and more than twenty members of the working
class, regardless of age and SEX were sent to
prison from four to twelve years.
In last month the Trade Union League, sue
ceeded in publishing the working class paper
under the name "Meie HAL" (Our Voice., OF
which only 2 issues have so far reached us.
Probably the white regime has done away with
this working class paper, same as it has been
done dozens of times before.
This last fact shows that the white regime has
not relaxed its hold at the throat of Esthonian
working class, since it's last effort in calling for
fascist government, was futile but instead they
have strengthened their hold
The working masses in Esthona have called
the bourgeoisie bluff Of establishing the fascist
government, and the workers Won

preparing for war on Soviet Union. And al
though they hold conferences against war, the
preparations go on, and with increased speed.
And in the imperiast minds to win in this
coming war, the anti-War elements, in all the
bordering countries, should be swept aside. The
Esthonian workers have held back the onrush-
ing wave of fascisnl, and they also know, that
the struggle does not end right there. They
know, that this is just the beginning of the
great struggles
The ruling class has shown its true colors,
the colors that mean exploitation of the working
class, through the power that they gained with
the aid of French, British and United States
inperalists. 1t does not take long for the ruling
class to start with another rush towards the
establishment of fascist terror in Esthonia.
The first try to establish fascist government
in Esthonia, received heartily support from the
socialists, and when the working class pointed
an accusing finger on the whole ruling class, the
socialists were the last ones to deny their CO.
operation with the fascist elements. But the
bourgeois elements without any explanations
started to suppress the workers by throwing their
leaders into ails under the old accusations, that
they participated in the workers uprising in
1924, killing of the chief of garrison, General
Unit, etc.
The only way out for the working class from
this bourgeois frame-up is to overthrow the CAPS
italist system in Esthonia. This can be done
with the support of the working class all over
the world. Our best support to our fighting
comrades in Esthonia is when we join in the
workers fighting party-the Communist Party
of the United States and the Trade Union Unity
League.

Party can We. overthrow world imperialism
