Not Interested

WHEN came of the savage tortureS and muir
" ders of the Hitler Fascist government, many
American liberal papers and magazines expressed their
indignation and sorrow in eloquent editorials
But an. excellent test of the sincerity of this
alleged horror at the Fascist brutates is provided by
the way these journals have responded to the SEN
satonal exposures made by the Daily Worker of the
Nazi plots to inocate the German Communists
with syphilis germs to get rid of their tool Van der
Lubbe and to spread organized fascist anti-semitic
propaganda In this country.
Certainly it is extremely significant that the
weekly Nation" ostensibly an opponent Of fascism
maintains in its latest ISSUE complete silence the
whole matter This is especially significant when
remembers that Jewish papers, the New Republic, and
conservative paper the Philadelphia Record
have found space for this startling exposure.
On the secret Nazi letter-not word On the or
ganized fascist movement in this country, subsidized
by the Hitler treasury of the foul degenerate Naz
schemes against the German Communist fighters
against fascism-not a world
Is not the Nation interested in these matters2
Is it not aware that to maintain silence on these
matters is to give powerful aid to the fascists both
here and abroad?
Is it not a fact that the fascists fear exposure
of their plans and welcome silence as the Nation
maintains?
What the workers think of the sincerity of
the Nations protestations against Fascist terrorism
its editors cloak fascist plots in silence?
1t is easy to talk against fascsm. The real acid
test in such cases this in action, in deeds.
WE quote from the secret Nazi document:
IL agree with you entirely that II would be
good to give the damned Communists in Leipzig
injection Of syphilis Then 1t could be said that
Communism comes from syphilis Of the BRAIN"
Does not the Nation think that this is worth COM
menting on?
Further
Let us know how things stand with the Hitler
book We must distribute them free. It's chid's
play to make good anti-Semites Of the Americans"
Doesn't that interest the Nation at all?
1t is easy to talk against fascism--at distance.
But when evidence is presented that the Reichstag
trial is frame-up when evidence is presented that
German fascism is establishing roots here then
acid test is necessary.
And thus far, the Nation has allied itself with
the most reaconary papers in the country in closing
its columns to the Daily Worker exposure
This have but meaning--that the liberal
Nation prefers to side with the potential allies of
fascism, rather than join with the Communists in
exposing fascist intrigue in this country.

Below the HoOVer Level

THIS is significant.
On the front pages Of the capitalist press is the
stupid ballyhco of the Roosevelt BUY Now campaign
But the following item from the National Industrial
Conference Board is buried in the back page.
Il For the fifth consecutive month, living costs for
wage in September. Since April of this
year the cost of living index has advanced per cent
food prices Is per cent-cIOthing "A per cent :"
This upward surge of daily food costs under the
steady pressure of Roosevelt in1atonary measures
Roosevelt wheat destroying program, and processing
taxes has only completely erased the meagre wage
rises which the Government economists announced
but has actually resulted in wide-sweeping wage
cut for the entire working class.
% The Roosevelt government is cutting wages dras-
ticaly-through rising prices
Meanwhile prices continue their steady upward
march the speed of advance growing all the time!
The net result is an extraordinary beating down
Of the living conditions of the workers.
1t is literal fact that the Roosevelt priceraising
program is taking bread out of the mouths of every
workers family in this country
1t is literal fact that the Roosevelt priceraising
program has resulted in driving down of workers
REAL wages below the Hoover level.
This huge masked wage cut must be discussed in
every factory, in every mine, MILL and household
Workers everywhere must plan organized demands
for increased wages to meet rising prcesl
They must organize in the neighborhoods against
the rising prices that cut deeply into their wages
Strike for higher wages-picket in front OF the
neighborhood food stores against rising prices That
is how to stop the Roosevelt wage cut.

INTERVIEW WITH AN EX-
SOCIALIST IN LEIPZIG

Third in a series of articles by
a special correspondent in Leipzig,
Germany. who at the risk of his
life has obtained and struggled out
of the country news on what the
workers of that city are doing while
the four Communists and the Nazi
imbecile tool, Van der Lubbe, are
on trial, charged with the burning
of the Reichstag.)

We passed by the biggest trade
union building in Germany, the Leip-
zig Peoples House Ny guide spoke
of the Kapp Putsch in 1920. The
Kappists had chosen this Peoples
House as their principal point of at
tack in Leipzig. The marks of their
bombardment can still be Seen on the
front of the building.
The Independent Socialist Party
was at that time In control of the
city. 1t must be mentioned that af-
ter the split at the Halle Congress,
most of these independents re-
turned to the Social Democratic fold
from which they had emerged only

ceiving the workers.

ately strove break the miners fighting spirit Then
the code, offering the miners slave conditions
without the right to strike against them The miners
struck They continue to strike. Philip Murray after
long personal conversation with Roosevelt told the
miners that their strike rebellion against the
government. The miners remember that Lewis broke
the 1922 strike with the declaration I'VE cannot fight
the government"
Why does Murray call the strike rebellion against
the government?
Is the government Of the United States invoIyedP
Yes, it is.
The government of Roosevelt is the government
OF the steel and coal trusts arded with cunning and
lying phrases and promises. The miners in fighting
for the right to live for the right organize
better conditions against the slave provisions of the
CODE come smack up against the government In
the interest of the steel trust
The Communist Party has always pointed out that
the state is the government of the most powerful
rich, of the Moses, Wiertons Melcls, Rockefellers
and Morgans Now the miners this in every step
of their strike They told it deliberately by
and Faganthat strike for union recognition because
it is against the U. S. Steel Corporation becomes
rebellion
THE Communist Party has supported by every means,
all of the demands of the miners, fought with them
side by sde exposed from the beginning the coal code
and the MIRA, and will continue to fight to strengthen
the strike, to spread 1t to STEEL
Because the miners continue their strike in the
face of the government strkebreakng they called
Communists and Bolsheviks But thousands of miners
not considering this taunt. The Communists
have exposed the Shiny maneuvers of the Roosevelt
government. They point out to the miners that,
though we fight and win this strike, the govern
ment will stand behind the coal operators, waiting
for every opportunity to grind the miners down..
1t is necessary besides building mass rank and
file union, deloused Of its Feeneys Fagans and
Lewises to organize into revolutionary party Of
the working class into the Communist Party
The struggle is not just Of today, for immediate
demands 1t is constant battle of the workingcass
against capitalism. 1t is struggle for the overthrow
of capitalism and for the establishment Of the rule
of the workers. The Communist Party alone organ
ICES and leads this revolutionary struggle of the tong
for political power, for the decisive defeat of
the rule of the trust and the banks.

Then my comrade, at my request,

to function after the Law for Defense

had just been assassinated. The spe-
cial courts were created by Chan
cellor Wirth to the great delight Of
Social Democracy, to combat the
danger from the right" But in prac-
tice, this machinery was used against
Communism, with the active support
Of the Socialist Party.

But what did the Socialist Party

New French Poison Gas
PARIS, Oct. 13.-A new poison

to now, has been discovered by Pro-

nounced yesterday.
Professor Bert said: "The gas is
really a liquid which gives off a
vapor. 1t is powerful poison, bis
tering and irritating the lungs, eyes
and, generally speaking, all parts
of the human body, evan penetrat-
Ing clothing. It's ravages can be
compared with a true cell poison"
Gas Masks Useless
The new poison gas is colorless.
Application to the skin of a dog
caused its death within four hours.
No gas mask can afford protection
against this deadly new war wea-

Bombs and shells equipped with
this poison gas could be manufac-
tured within week, it is claimed.
