democratic" framework of the gov
eminent is useful and must be
upheld.
In their high praise of the Dem
ocratic" institutions they are con-
cealing the, basic fact that these
institutions are being used to carry
through the attacks on the workers,
and daily is being more and more
streaked with fascism. The social
lists, by raising fascism as a "fu-
tlre menace" conceal the growth
Of fascism day by day and disarm
the working class fight against it.
Thus, the Socialist Party is at
one with the other capitalist par
ties in It's preoccupation with fight
ing wild radicaliSm." While the
other two parties may be vague
about their specifications concern
ing "radicalism," the socialists are
quite clear and concrete; they set
out to fight the Communist Party
and the revolutionary struggles Of
the workers led by the Conlmu-
mist Party. Here they are at one
with Garner or Hamilton Fish,
with Doak or with Palmer, with
Hoover or Roosevelt. Like John
Garner, Norman Thomas knows
that the spread of Communism is
"the gravest possible menace" to
capitalism. 1t is but a prerequisite
to the downfall of capitalism, the
system which all the capitalist can
didates are so anxious to protect
against revolution.
One or the Other
In the platform of all the capital
list parties everything else Is sub
ordinated to this grave concern
over the survival of capitalism.
While in their concrete proposals
these platforms advocate more of
the starvation and war program
that mark the capitalist way out
of the crisis, and while this pro-
gram still further underInines the
chances of capitalism to survive in
the fatal contest with revolution
and socialism, the parties OF CAPT.
talism are aware of the fact that
it is question of one system YER
sus another. And while the ma
jor" political parties never once
mentioned the Soviet Union II
their official declarations, it is the
existence of the Soviet Union, the
success of the Five-Year Plan, and
the up-building of socialism on one
sixth of the earth's surface, and
the worldwide rise Of the revolu-
tionary movement that constitutes
the nightmare of capitalism.

HOLLANDS radio audience is
"A served by two broadcasting sta
tons. One of these is VARA
Omitted Labor Radio Association
controlled by the Dutch social
democrats. 1t was far cry from
the Scottsboro meetings forbidden,
broken up b ythe socialist police in
Germany, tot he socialist invitation
to Mrs. Ada Wright in Holland to
speak over their radio. Thus the
Scottsboro appeal was broadcast
through the air for the first time
in Europe.
Socialist Maneuver
1t is clear that this is a maneu-
yer Of the socialists in Holland fol-
lowed closely on the heels of the
lead given by the chairman of the
Second Socialist International, En-
lie Vandervelde, in opening his
arms to the Scotsboro Mother in
Brussels, and his heart to the cause
of the Negro boys facing the cleo
trio chair. Suddenly the columns
of Het Volk (The People,, central
organ of the Social-Democratic
Party of Holland began to burst
with Vandervelde publicity, as If
the former socialist premier of Bel
GUMS King Albert had taken over
the Scottsboro campaign. Het Volk
featured the Scottsboro case with
pictures but omitted mention en-
tirely of the International Red Aid.
Home Made TRANSACTIONS
How deliberate this actually was
became crystal clear with the
translation of the Scottsboro Moth
er's appeal over the radio, when the
social-democratic translator pro-
vided by the station itself and who
had been given an advance copy
of her speech, declared that it was
the Socialists who had come to the
aid of the Scottsboro Negro boys
and were defending them and once
more emitting all mention of the
international Red Aid.
The basis for this campaign of
deception was to be found in the
tremendous mass support of the
Scottsboro campaign in Holland as
revealed in the demonstrations held
in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Delft,
the Hague, and even in the farm
ing districts of Friesland, in north
Holland, in st. Anna Parochic,
Beets and Appelscha.
10000 March.
In Rotterdam the police denied
the workers the right to demon
strate in the streets following the
great mass meeting. The possibili-
ties of such demonstrations became
clear in Amsterdam, where fully
10000 workers marched through
the streets to the post office build
ing following the mass meeting in
the great hall Of the Diamond Elk
change. The meetings at Delft and
the Hague were unprecedented.
The response that swept over
Friesland, the northern agricul-
tural district of Holland, however,
was revelation. Friesland was

gether visited all the tenants. Some
of the tenants are members OF the
Schlesinger's Union and they would
not believe we could accomplish
anything, but we persuaded them
by showing them facts from other
houses where committees exist.
They collected some signatures,
formed a committee, approached
the landlord, and the landlord did
not even argue. He didn't want
any strikes Or any trouble and
would grant anything they wanted.
Then Schlesinger's group changed
their attitude and when na1fey WAS

collapse of American life, with
consequent revolution.
Methods
Of Indictment
But the more astute among the
Socialist" politicians resort to
subtler methods of melting the
masses against the Communists,
here and everywhere. Norman
Thomas, for instance, advances the
argument, familiar in Europe but
rather new in its application to the
United States, that in fighting
Communism the Socialists" fight
Fascism. At the annual conference
of the League for Industrial DEM
ocracy Thomas did some spade
work on behalf of an American
policy of ''lesser evil" He said:
''The United States has all the
elements of very strong Fascist
movement Once / would
ave seen in Communism some
thing of a check to Fascism. Now
1 think that the Communist en-
phasis on the inevitability of vio-
lence and its Qualification of die
tatorship play into the hands of
FaScism."
At the New York State conven-
ton of the Socialist Party in Utica
he carried the lesser evil' propa-
ganda bit further by stating:
"Our enemy is not either the
Republican or the Democratic
Party. 1t is Fascism, the last
stand of capitalism, which sweeps
on with the aid of the old parties
or despite them"
And since the Communists "play
into the hands of FasciSm," it is
clear that the Communist Party is
the chief enemy the Socialists must
fight, and that the Republican and
Democratic parties under the cir
cumstances constitute the "lesser
evil" Which is another way of
saying that the capitalists govern
ment, either Republican or Demo-
cratic, should be supported in its
prosecutions against the Commu-
nists, for the fight against Commu-
nism is also fight against Fascism.
Thus, while drumming for his own
party, the S. P. spokesman suggests
a good reason" why the workers
should vote for Democrats or Re-
publicans rather than Communists.
At the same time we see here the
workings of the Social Fascist
melting Fascist actions against the
workers under the guise of fighting
Fascism.
The Jewish Daily Forward slipped
up bit when 1t commented on the
danger of Fascism in the United
States. In an editorial entitled us
Democracy Really Failure and
published on the same day when
the press carried the statement by
Norman Thomas at the Utica con-
vention, the Forward states:
"Also in America voices are
heard to the effect that our polit-
zeal system does not work prop
erly. But to speak of Fascist
danger in the United States is
simply ridiculous"
Yet the contradiction between
Thomas thesis and that of the
Forward is not as great as 1t may
appear; the Forward predicates its
opinion upon the idea that the
democratic" framework Of the
government In the United States
is bulwark against Fascisnn, while

talism unless they can make the
workers safe for the capitalist sys-
tenn. The job of the Socialist
Party is to win over the workers
and to keep them away from COM
munism, from revolutionary strug-
giles, from the urge to emulate the
workers of the Soviet Union. Hence,
the Socialists must talk revolution,
with the emphasis on peaceful,
and they are even obliged to con-
cede that communism may be a
good thing-for Russia. With the
frankness of court jester, Hey
wood Broun stated at Milwaukee:
81 think it is dangerous for the
Socialist Party to be identified in
the public mind as holding to
everything in the Communist pro-
gram, but 1 think it is still more
dangerous to have the public be-
lieve that the Socialist Party has
nothing in common with commu-
nism."
Substitute for public" in the first
instance the word bourgeois" and
in the second, workers" and you
will have a clear view of the So
cialist" predicament. Haywood
Broun belongs to the militant"
species of American Socialists"
(the sham left wingers at the con-
vention), and he is willing to go the
limit and concede the desirability
Of Communism in the United States.
But
81 believe that we can achieve
democratically the ends achieved
by Russia in her own way"
The American Communists lead
the workers along other than bour-
geois democratic ways, therefore
the Brouns and the Thomases want
the workers to believe that the
American Communists are no good
and that the job Of achieving COM
mrlnism in peaceful way and
"democratically" should be in
trusted to the Socialists"
Stupid SANDER
Against Communists
These bitter enemies of Socialism
and Communism are sailing under
false colors. Propaganda against
Communism and the revolutionary
class struggle is the very backbone
OF the S. P. program. Some OF the
more stupid Socialist" leaders,
such as John G. Packard, chairman
of the Socialist State Executive
Committee of California, put 1t
awkwardly and make themselves
ridiculous by such exceptionally
absurd charges as:
I'VE Socialists offer the con-
structive American way a bring
