RUSHING INTO WAR

Germany and the apparently impending collapse
OF the whole German financial structure is also
reported to have aroused even higher the wave of
struggle among the German masses Measures of
the nature of open dictatorship fascist in char
zcter, to be carried out by the Bruening govern.
Enent, whose whole historic role has been the in,
PRODUCTION of fascism, hourly rumored.
The perspective is explosive, an immediate
mearness of imperalist war against which Com.
rnunlsts have continually warned, war which il
inevitable under imperialism, and made a thous-
and times more inevitable in the immediate fu>
ture by the collapse of the Versailles "peace"
Greatly OF plunder and the revolutionary upsurge of
the boiling masses upon whose shoulders the bur
den OF imperialist plunder is laid
IN London the famous "Hoover Plan" is al
ready noted as a failure. In Paris, it is spoken
oi IN the terms-"NOt only has nothing been done
70 forestall collapse, but things have continually
oeen done to precipitate it." The American cap-
taiist press is striving nightly to Law the blame
1'r the expected catastrophe upon France
But America in its first intervention with
the Hoover war debt plan was playing no higher
altruist game than attempting to guarantee the
Three billion dollars invested in Germany bv Wall
Street and to brbe Germany to break its renewed
Kapano treaty with the Soviet Union and enter
ghe antl-soviet front under Yankee leadership
France is no more and no less imperialistic and
lmplacable and has Out-maneuvered America in the
SOcailed war debt negotiations to the extent that
Tfencn diplomats at the moment have the deciJ-
mg word as to the fate of Germany
And France, in the words of the Paris cor
respondent of the New York Times of july 13-
emphasizes the impossibility of her Intervention
10 prevent German collapse, until the world is re-
assured as to Germanys intention to take the def
nlte political steps for which France has been
asking"
The Paris paper de Figaro underlines "the
connection between Germany and the Soviets,"
says the same correspondent and attacks the Sow
et-German peace treaty of Rapallo which it calls
revenge treaty"
Finally" says the Figaro, in words
which amount to a demand for Germany
to break off peaceful relations with the
Soviet Union, "It is but few months aft
er evacuation of the Rhineand by French
troops and at the moment when with the
assistance Of Washington and London the
end of reparatiOns and the continuance of
financial advances to the Reich is imposed
upon France, that the same treaty Of re-
venge is renewed second time"
AS has been previously pointed out the Ger
masses face intensified misery, starvation
and hopeless slavery from either or all of these
imperialist saviours. Where Paris pointed cut
that London and New York bankers withdrawals
of credit brought Germany to the brink of collapse
prior to Hoovers proposal, London and New
York claiming that French Withdrawals have
brought about the catastrophe which was signal
5zed by the Berlin bank closings on Monday a week
ago.
In Hoover's first proposal he pretended that
Germany to be "saved" hom dictatorship
from either the "Right' OF the "Left" Now. how
eFer, the reported gigantic loan from American
banks can only be based up German capitalist
guarantees that open fascist dictatorship be es-
1abGshed against the revolutionary masses.
1t can only mean new burdens added to the
Young Plan upon these masses, new burdens and
fascist dictatorship to be established in Ger
many with the aid Of the treacherous socialists
These American loans can only come from the
profits sweated out Of American workers and rob-
bed from them by unemployment and wage cuts.
Both German and American workers have a COM
mon interest in fighting against the Young Plan
and the war makers
The fact remains that the Pravda in comment
on Hoovers "plan" spoke the truth in saving that
the only way out for the German masses is the
proletarian revolution.
The American capitalist press is plavinp nm
this Communist danger" Certainly the German
masses, driven by their "own capitalist class into
a hopeless sea of misery in compliance with the
demnds of the Versailles vctors, will not forever
submit to enslavement and oppression
This was emphasized by Comrade Thaelmann
20 the communist party of Germany, in his speech
oon May Day this year:
"On the First of May 1929, when some
of you fought off the barricades at We'd
ding and Neukoen, we told you that the
hour had no5 yet come Now we say the
hour may come when the standard for
battle will be raised; and we shall then
know what to dol" He then closed with
call-"for the great struggle for free So
cialist Soviet Germany"
Workers and farmers of America srouId un-
derstand that the French mobilization of troops
on the German frontier means war; war not upon
German capitalism, but upon the toiling masses
OF Germany whose only way out is and viii re.
main the proletarian revolution
American workers and farmers should under.
stand that the same reason which makes all inn
Perists strive to turn Germany into an active foe
