The Situation in Germany>>Why the Brnening
Government Fell

THE Bruening government has
resigned. In the 26 months
during which the Bruening was in
office, unemployment in Germany
according to official statistics, in
creased from 100000 to 100000;
the number of unemployed in re-
ceipt of unemployment benefit has
been reduced from 68 to &c per
cent; rates of benefit have been
reduced; the wages Of employed
workers have been reduced by 80
per cent; the average weekly wage
of an industrial worker, taking into
account the losses through unen-
ployment and tax deductions, has
declined from 1920 marks to 22.45
marks.
In the &c moths of the Bruening
government, millards of mark
squeezed out of the starving masses
were played into the hands of the
big bankers, the heavy Industrial
lists and the Prussian junkers in
order to salvage their bankrupt
undertakings and big estates. This
is the social countenance of the
policy of the Bruening government,
this government of emergency de-
creeS and appropriation of the
toilers in the interest of the cap
italiSts.
Crisis and unemployment are
driving German capitalism to
catastrophe; the burden of repara-
tons bars any way out from the
crisis by means of successful COM
petition on the world market. The
conferences in Lausanne, which
allegedly is to solve the reparations
question, will not and can not bring
the solution which is necessary to
the German bourgeoisie.
New Robbery Drive
The German bourgeoisie still sees
in the high wages of the workers
and the "unbearable burden" of
social expenditure as the cause of
the extreme accentuation of the
economic crisis. The Bruening gov
eminent supported by the social
democracy, had not the necessary
forces at its disposal in order to
carry out fresh open robber-
campaign against the working class
by means of the State apparatus.
The Bruening government also did
not possess the necessary authority
among the leaders of the German
bourgeoisie in order to represent the
interest at the Lausanne Confer
ence. Hence it was compelled to
resign and to give place to another
government, which will attempt to
solve the "accursed problems" of
the German bourgeoisie with more
brutal means.
Bruening is replaced by his COL
leagues of the Catholic Centre
Party, the big landowner Franz
Won Papen, the biggest shareholder

operation of the Reichswehr gen
erals, who have in their hands all
the means of terror for suppressing
the resistance Of the toilers.
Fascist Base
The government reminds us of
the time Of Wilhelm II, not only
because it is composed of represent
tatives of the same classes which
were in power before the November
revolution, but also by reason of its
comparison. 1t bases itself upon
the million army of the followers
of the national socialist fascist
party; in addition to the Reichs-
wehr and the police, in its fight
against the masses 1t makes use OF
the fascist fighting organizations,

crisis Of capitalism.

crisis Of capitalism.
THE Bruening government, with
the assistance of the social de-
mocracy, has prepared this ma
tional socialist basis for the Papen-
Schleicher Government. The ma
tional socialists are already in
power in Brunswick, Hesse. Olden-
burg, Anhalt and Mecklenburg;
they play decisive role in the
senates of the free" owns of
Bremen and Danzig; they are
about to take over power in Prus-
STA and Wurtemberg. They are
conducting negotiations for enter
ing the Bayarian government.
Thus we perceive a peculiar re-
lation of forces, resulting in the
"non-party" Reichs government OF

the fact that General Won Schlei-
cher Is one of its prominent men,
ers, through whom, as the "Bav-
eriche Volkspartei Korrespondenz"
Of May Is writes, public opinion in
Germany and abroad is brought
into connection with those tenden-
cies which intend by means of the
Reichswehr to exert an unconstitu-
tional. impermissable pressure upon
the political development in Ger
many.
All these facts, as well as the
participation Of Hindenburg con
fidants" CMeissner, Schacht etc. in
the setting up of the new govern
ment, show that this government
will lead Germany Immediately to
a fascist dictatorship.
The toi1ing masses of Germany
are faced with a. government OF
open reaction, whose programme
contains an unexampled enslave-
ment of the toiling masses.
The basis of the programme Of
the new government in regard to
home politics will be the ruthless
further offensive against the work.
ing masses. 1t Is clear already
now that one of the first and most
important measures of this govern
ment will be the abolition of un-
employment insurance and the
transference of the unemployed
who still receive unemployment
benefit, to poor law relief, which
will however, not be guaranteed
owing to the catastrophe financial
situation Of the municipalities. It
is clear already now that one Of
the most important measures of
this new government will be further
wage reductions and the abolition
of the collective agreements. 1t is
precisely these inner political meas
ures which induced the German
bourgeoisie to discard at the pres
ent moment the direct support
of the social democracy and the
reformist trade unions, which could
only give this support at the same
time by risking the loss of their
whole influence over the masses.
The German bourgeoisie has de-
cided to replace deceit as the chief
means of suppressing the resist
ance Of the masses and maintaining
its class rule, by terror as the chief
means for achieving the same aims.
Whether the German bourgeoisie
will succeed in carrying out this
plan and thus to find way out
of the crisis-this will depend on
the German proletariat.
Reformism Exposed
The events Of the last days and
the taking over of office by the
Representation government show
to the working masses the shame
full deceit Of the social democratic
party and of the reformist trade
union bureaucracy. Under these
conditions it is more than ever
necessary to set up the united front
of the Communist, social democra-
tic, christian and unorganized
workers for the fight against fas-
cism and reaction, against wage
cuts and the abolition Of unemploy-
ment benefit.
IN foreign politics also the Papen-
Schleicher government is con-
fronted with complicated and diff
ficult tasks. The new German
government has to go to Lausanne
in order to fight there for Ger
many's pace in the capitalist sun.
Rumors are current according to
which the nationalist circles OF
Germany are bargaining behind
the scenes with big industrialist
circles Of France. The position Of
the French bourgeeisie, however, is
not so good that 1t can renounce
the reparations payments and al
low Germany the right to Increase

Close>Ubs OF Kalinin, Soviet
President
Peasants Find Him Always Ready to Listen
to Complaints
By MYRA PAGE,

BY MYRA PAGE,
Our Correspondent in the Soviet
Union.
WE ENTER a long, simply fur
" nished room, where a queue of
about fifty people are waiting their
turn to speak with the little man
standing by his desk. AS he talks
quietly with each one, reading the
letter or document they offer, his
kindly, penetrating gaze is at work,
seeing below the surface of his
fellow.
From behind his specks he can
see everything" a peasant confides
Hes shreyd one, but with big
heart-our Kalinin.'
We begin speaking with those in
line, why have you Gomez" Peas
ants they are, bearded, heavy-set.
Many are carrying sacks or baskets.
Dark blue and brown shaWls are
fitted neatly about the womens
heads. All but a few have dis
carded the old hcme- made leggings
and straw sandals for heather shoes
or high-top boots-one sure mark
of the villages slow but certain
climbing to the city's level.
Why They Come.
In answer to our question, lad
of twenty tells shamefacedly that
he's been expelled from the work
ers' technical school for being abb
sent from class too often, and fall
ing behind in his studies The truth
was, several times he got drunk,
and ignored the student commit
tees warnings. Now he is sorry,
and hopes that since his father was
a peasant Red partisan during the
Civil War days, Kalinen might aid
him in getting another chance.
Next to him stands peasant
woman who will demand that she
and her husband be allowed to re-
turn to their village. A year ago,
they had been called up by their
village soviet (counciD for refusing
to pay the grain tax, and working
against the newly organized collec-
tive farm. The peasants had de-
cided to Danish them as bad ele-
ments from the village for three
years. Now, having heard that
things are going well there, the
couple want to go back, join the
collective, and do their full part.
She's been working at housework
in Moscow and her husband as an
unskilled laborer.
Wants to Join Collective
We speak with several more peas
ants whose stories run likewise.
One old fellow, his eyes watering,
tells us how he wouldn't join the
collective when it first organized,
believing what the local priest and
rich kulak had whispered around
the village. Now that his eyes have
been opened and he wants to join.
some of the collective members don't
want to let him in. Fe feels certain
that Kalinin will straighten it out.
There's an old engineer who
wants Kalinin's ;dvice on some
personal matters, and a former
peasant who has located a job in a
Moscow factory provided he finds a
room. Maybe Kalinin can help
him. He is referred to the Housing
Commission, and SO it goes.
After the last one is heard, and
his request met or referred to spe-
cial government committees for
further handling, Michael Kalinin
is free to talk with us. We follow

its ornaments. No pro-Frenchisnl
of one of the other German POLL
tican can induce the French
bourgeoisie to abandon its pol-cJ in
regard to Poland. The Versailles
system cannot be abolished by any
negotiations in Lausanne, Geneva
or Paris.
Nationalist Sentiment
The new German government
will also have to take into account
that nationalist sentiment which
has driven many millions of petty
bourgeois in the towns, peasants
and even individual workers into
Hitler's camp. These millions voted
at the Presidential and Prussian
elections not SO much for Hitler
as against France and Poland.
German nationalist sentiment is
being daily outraged by attacks
upon the right of self-determina-
ton of the German people on
various sectors of the German
frontiers. The Foreign Committee
of the Reichstag has been already
compelled to adopt sharp resolu-
tons against Poland and Lithuania
on account of Memel and Danzig.
All this shows that the attempts
to arrive at an understanding with
France will be futile, that the ma
tionahst government will only bring
about a further accumulation of all
the foreign political antagonisms
of Germany, before all its anita
gonism to Poland and France.
The formation of the government
of national concentration" is not
symptom of strength but of
weakness of capitalist Germany.
1t means shrinking of the social
basis of the Reichs government
which today is compelled to en-
ploy sharper weapons for the sup
preston of the toiling masses.
Germany was, is and remains a
centre of revolutionary ferment in
Europe. The Communist Party OF
Germany, the only organizer of
the toiling masses against the fas-
cist terror, clearly recognizes its
tremendous responsibility at the
present moment and is undertake

the basis of the united front with

CORONER'S FINDING

No evidence of criminal negli- gence was found by Coroner John T. Monzani in his official investi- gation of the death of Mrs Mar garet Agoraia, 57. of the Cheshire road, who was fatally injured near her home on the evening of March 7th. The finding generates John P. Fray, operator of the car. The latter, however. was not in pos session of an operators license at the time of the accident, having failed to renew a former one. This fact was commented upon by the coroner, who admitted in his re- port, however. that the car in- volved was properly registered.
 The accident occurred as Fray was coming to Waterbury to at- tend drill of the National Guardsmen. Mrs Agoraia was walk ing along the highway near Mer- iline avenue and attempted to cross the road ahead of the ma chine. Fray applied his brakes and swerved one side, but was unable to avoid hitting the woman. She suffered a fractured skull and died within a few minutes after being admitted to St Mary's hospital.
