SOCIAL DEMOCRACY IN DANGER
(This article was written by an
American Socialist now residing in
Berlin)
The Socialist International is fac
ing a crisis. On every hand demo-
cracy-and with it, of course. all
hope of Social Democracy-is being
threatened by the great drive of the
Fascist relationships IN an middle
Europe only three little democratic
republies remain, surrounded by the
iron vail Of their Fascist enemies.
and il is only in the democracies
on the northern and western edge
of the continent and in England
that The Socialist parties are able
to funct on at all.
OF an, these western demOCraCieS
OF the continent the only one that
can be classed as a great power is
France. And it is tragically Signi-
ficant that in this only remaining
large democracy. the Socialists should
have considered it necessary last
week to break an old party law and
vote the military budget This vote,
proclaimed as an act of treason" by
all enemies and critics of the So
cialist movement on the LETT. and
hailed with glee by all our opponents
of the right was no act of treason at
all. II was simply a proof that the
ma iority OF Socialist deputies now
consider strong army necessary
as a defense against Fascist invasion.
They believe probably with reason,
that the final victory Of Socialism
IN France will depend on the defeat
OF Fascism in a war that is to be
expected soon. and which, II it can
not be prevented nov, viii soon in
al probability blaze up on the old
Western Front.
The Socialists, who voted the bud
get only did what they felt sure
their peasant and labor constituencies
wanted them to do. Ali Socialists in
France had just seen with amaze
ment and alarm how the Hitler party
had at one blow stalled the Social
Democratic Party with its eight mil
lion followers, the Communist Party
with its five millions, and the strong
ly organized labor movement with it's
defense corps Of four hundred thouB-
and men which had been held up
to the French workers for years as =
shining example Of how ID should be
done
The French people as whole re-
alize that the bellicose and reckless
Hitler leaders intend to scrap all
treaties and re-arm; and it is only
TOO obvious that the rearnament of
Germany will be but first step
if they can make 1t soto war of

Fellow workers:
On Thursday, May Is, at 8 am.
Hans Weidemann, Hitler'S envoy,
will arrive in New York to carry out
his mission of bringing his masters
and the Roosevelt government to-
gether in common action against
the workers of Germany and the
United States.
This fascist thug, his hands drip
ping with the blood of heroic dock
workers of Hamburg and other Ger
man ports and his government, the
government that ordered a 30 per
cent pay cut for the German sea-
men, must be given a fitting re-
ception bv the sailors and harbor
workers of New York.
Our German fellow workers are
fighting the fascist thugs who are
trying to wipe out all trade unionism
by ruthless repression. They have
lost many heroic fighters already but
they continue to fight. Across the
sea comes their call for international
solidarity. They shout to us to keep
this agent of the mass assassin Hit
Ter out Of the country.
Our jailed comrades in the fas-
cist dungeons call US to strike
blow for their freedom! The fas-
cist thugs must gol American
marine workers have no use for these
thugs and the Wall Street govern
ment that is aiding them!
We call upon the members of the
International Longshoremen's Asso-
citation and other unions Of the in
dustry to adopt protest resolutions
against the State Department per-
hitting Weidemann's entry.
We call all longshorennen and sea-
men to follow the heroic example
of the dock workers in Barcelona,
Spain, who refused to unload car
goes from fascist German ships.

thousands of workers in the concen-
tration camps, dares to send repre-

ganda, one of the most bIoodthirsty
pogrom meters against the working
class and the Jewish population, who
as minister of enlightenment" is
trying to root out Marxism by burn
