the German bourgeoisie did not sue
coed in wiping out reparations or
getting moral satisfaction concerning
Germany's war guilt" On the con-
trary, the Lausanne treaty uncovered
the antagonisms within the bourg-
eoisie even more sharply. The fact
is that German capitalism, the Prav-
da writer says, has no economic or
social reserves for the various bour-
geois elements. Even the masses I'M
der the influence of the fascists could
not be satisfied by promises of the
restoration of the monarchy. This
has resulted, on the one hand, of
more bourgeois elements going fascist
and on the other hand in the deep
ening of the antagonisn1s within the
bourgeoisie, as witnessed by the cp-
position of Bavaria, by the statement
of the Krupp group that it will sup
port Won Papen inasinuch as he will
put through program OF Industrial
lists, and also by the unfriendly vel
come by the nationalist toward the
Lausanne treaty signed at the behest
Of industrialist groups.
AL this has left only one part for
Won Papen, namely, sharpsned
fight against the Communist Party.
But, declares the Pravda writer:
Revolutionary Traditions
"The German proletariat has ira
ditions of seventy years. After the
war created the Communist Party,
it combined revolutionary tactics
with real mass organization. How
ever, due to the growth of national
list and chauvinist war, the Commu-
mist Party nas not yet succeeded in
mobilizing around itself majority
of the working class in one revolu-
tionary front. The social democracy
is still effective in keeping away the
working class from the big revolu-
tionary battles"
Reviewing the role OF the social
democracy, which recently called for
the support Of Hindenbure (who has
now smashed the Weine.' constitu-
tion), the Pravda writer points out
that the great masses of the German
workers are now disillusioncl with
democratic" Methods situation
which has created the conditions for
fastening the united front Tor revo-
dictionary action under Communist
leadership.
Red Unitcl Front
"The forces of German Revolu-
tion,' Knorin writes, will be growing
faster these days" Already, the ar

ers are uniting with the Communists
to fight off the fasc.sts al social

with the aid OF the Reichswehr,"
Won Papen has carried through the
fascist overthrowal of Prussia. An
essentially fascist dictatorship has
been declared"
The social-democrats, Severing and
Gr1eschinsky did all in their power
to crush the Communist Party the
article continues, but apparently Won
Papen found others still more useful
TO rthis purpose.
Constitution Bankrupt
Krorin says that the Weiner con-
stitution is bankrupt, and the situa-
ton Is sharpening. "Thc occurrences
of the coming days depends upon
whether Germany will go towards
revolution or whethe rthe bourgeoisle,
by csmenting the fascist dictatorship
and terror. will succeed in holding off
the growth of the pre- conditions re-
quired for q revolutionary crisis for
some time. But in q country, where
the absolute majorlCv Of the popua-

mass party-it is impossible to rule
by terror for long time.
The German working class, says
the Pravda writer. has succeeded in
overthrowing, through mass action,
more than one government.
Concluding. Knorin says:
