Backs Hitler DrtV2 for
Bloody Suppression OF Workers

NEW YORK.-Today new emer-
gency DEGREES will be issued against
the German workers in an effort TO
staVe off complete collapse of Ger
man capitalism. The Bruening fas-
cist measures will cut wages whole
sale.
At the same time, the Bank OF
International Settlements is now
meeting in Basic, Switzerland, to
devise plans for keeping the Young
Plan from breaking down.
In preparation for all these
measures, Adolf Hitler, the fascist
leader, has been given a great
amount of space and attention in
the American capitalist press. Hit
Ier's program of open fascist attack
against the German workers be-
comes more important to the Am
erican capitalists than the actions
of the Bruening government.
Hitler's Interview
On Sunday, Hitler again gave an
interview to foreign correspondents
telling them what he would do when
the fascists got into power. Hitler
spoke with confidence when he said
that the fascists would soon be in
power. He said they would not nee
essarily do so by March on Berlin"
Hitler said that many things made
this unnecessary.
Chancellor Bruening, head OF the
German government, made no reply
whatever to Hitler's statement Of
policy. eff DR.. Bruening did not speak
up" his friends said, the New York
Times reports from Berlin, foreign
ers might get the wrong impression
of Herr Hitler's place and prospects"
But Bruening did not speak up be-
cause the fascist roles of both Bruen-
ing and Hitler are merging in a
common policy.
All appearances indicate that
Bruening, who has an agreement
with the Socialists, is now preparing
the road for Hitler's assumption of
power. 1t is even reported that
Bruening will remain in the Hitler
government.
The support of Bruening to Hitler
is recognized by the French imper-
ialists. According to the Associated
Press: "The Paris newspaper LIE
Temps devoted its leading article
yesterday Sunday to the Hitherto
agitation in Germany, finding it dis
concerning that the Bruening govern
ment no longer reacted, it said,
against the fascist campaign"
1t is significant to note that Hit
ler's demagogic program, by which
he hopes to win mass support, is
being rapidly modified to suit both
German and foreign capitalists. Hit
Ter no longer speaks about an attack
against capital, or about introducing
Socialist" measures. He lays stress
on the hour of Germany" When
asked what his economic measures
would be, he replied, in his interview
on Sunday: Our economic ideas are
something we do not propose to
uncover now. They are, if you please,
patented"
This shows that Hitler does not
want to reveal to petty bourgeois
masses who follow him because of
his phrases about attacking the
money interests" that the fascist
program will be directed against the
working-class and the lower middle
class in the interest of German cap
italism and world Imperialism.
That the fascist program will be
similar to the present decree of
Bruening-only more drastic and
with the bloody fist of open fascist
terror behind them--is clearly shown
in Hitlers interview when he said:
we saw what happened in connec-
ton with the present governments
emergency DEGREES: The government
took our ideas for three-fourths of
them, but changed and falsified them
and you see for yourself what the
result is. Hence we do not propose
to diVulge our economic ideas here
after until we are in control of the
situation and can give effect to them"
Fascist Note Growing
In the meantime, Hitler's support
is growing as shown by the latest
election In Stuttgart the Hitlerites
