The Hitler dictatorship, which is
leading Germany into deeper eco

of demagogy. But lies will not i'm

steadily gets worse. The Reich Cred

the bottom has not yet, been
reached" Reports of the Chambers
of Commerce admit for the first
time that, in contrast to the figures
for May, exports are weak, and
are decreasing"
Ii the face of an operating de-
ficit of over 50000,0oO marks for
the first five months of this year,
the German State Railways are
talking of a 560,00O,00O mark devel-

American war between Bolivia and
Paraguay. The Paraguayan forces
seem TO have been taken by sur

to have killed 100 out of, the, gar
rison of 200. An official Paraguayan

The Paraguayan government has

the Catholic Center Party, signed
the order dissolving his party yes

Catholic Party received over four

can sit and spend the evening The
workers there told me about the
bloody street battles they had had
with the Nazis. This was about the
middle of June, at the height of the
Nazi terror, but there was girl there
who was not afraid to start singing
the International. There we're NaziS
and Communists in the cafe, and a
Nazi in civilians started a provocative
argument with one of our compa-
MONS. Soon two uniformed Brown
Shirts came over, ostensibly to quiet
him, but soon they joined in the
proVocation, becoming more and more
insulting. This did not last long. The
workers were not awed by the power
represented by the Brown Shirts.
They picked up the three NaZis and
threw them out bodily into the street.
THE comrades did not want to
talk in much detail about how the
Communist Party works in Hamburg,
but from what they said, and es-
pecially from their manner, it was
easy to see that the Party in Ham
burg is not only alive, but immensely
active. The marine workers can no
longer hold big meetings on the
waterfront, but they meet in small
groups, in the houses of comrades.
and carry on their work under the
very noses of the Brown Shirts.
81 also got talking with sailor,
who said he had been a Social De-
fnocrat. He said he was one no longer.
He had joined the Communist Party,
along with almost all the other men,
bers of his S. D. branch.
HE told me confidently exactly
what the other workers in the cafe
had said: all expect to see Hitler
overthrow by the workers, under the
leadership of the Communist Party"
Passing through Kiel Canal, when
ever a group of workers appeared on
the bank, Conlrade Mckenzie called
out the red salute, '"Rot 'FRONT.'"
Several answered with the Nazi sal
ute, but most Ct them responded
openly with the raised clenched fist
greeting of the Communists.
In contrast with his experiences in
Germany, McKenzie'S year in the
Soviet Union was the happiest year
of his life, he said. Everyone in the
Soviet Union, down to the youngest
child, even in the remote Central
Asian regions which he visited knows
all about the Scottsboro case, he said.
Workers and peasants everywhere
asked him innumerable questions
about the conditions of Negroes and
workers in the United States, They
could scarcely understand how the
conditions of American workers, and
especially Negroes, could exist, since
they live in a country where race
discrimination is unknown, and the
workers really rule.

{" Amateur Athletes
Sail for Fascist
Meets in Europe

NEW YORK. - Seven American
amateur athletes sailed yesterday
morning TO tour Europe and perform
in ten meets there. They represent
several of Americas foremost univer-
sites and bourgeois sport organiza-
tons and will be well compensated for
their work.
The team will stop in Sweden,
Poland, Germany, Czechoslovakia,
Hungary and France. 1t is significant
that, despite the half-hearted pro
tests made by the officials Of the
American Athletic Union regarding
discrimination against Jewish ath-
letes in Germany, the team will make
two stops in fascist Germany.
DIR. Prem, formerly OF the Davt1
Cup team of Germany, and DR.. Thet
Lewald of the German Olympic Com

their positions by Hitler because Of
their Jewish blood. The Davis Cup

APPEAL FOR INTERNATIONAL DEFENSE
AND RELIEF WEEK

Toilers in the towns and OH the

The LID. International Relief
Week for the victims of fascist ter
Tor in Germany will be conducted
on Aug. to H. This Relief Week
must create new funds for rendering
relief to the victims of German fas-
cisn. We appeal to all the toilers
who are aware of the struggle and
The sufferings of their German class
brothers. We appeal to all the in
teIlectuals, writer's, scientists and ar
tists-who are compelled to witness
how, in Germany, the barbarism of
the Middle Ages is destroying nearly
everything of a cultural value. We
appeal to all the oppressed nation
aiities in the capitalist and colonia
countries who are reminded of theft
own fate by the cfauvinism and the
persecution of the Jews in fascist
Germany. We call upon all the
working class men and women for
practical solidarity with the vic
TINS OF Hitier-faSciSm.
We call upon all the organizations
OF the toilers-no matter of what
political tendencies-to carry on to-
gether with us this International De-
tense and Relief Week. The relief is
most urgent; it must be rendered to
all the victims of fascist terror, with
out discrimination as to party, ma
tionality or religion.
Our action is part of our Strug-
gle for the liberation of all the POLL
teal prisoners in Germany and inl
the other capitalist countries.
Before every worker this moment
stands the question of joining hands
to save the lives of Thaelnann,
Torgler and all prisoners of Hitler
who face the fascist gallows.

No factory, no village, no workers

Wages are now being paid in dollars
that have lost a good deal of their
value. This attack on the workers
standards, this reduction of costs to
the employers, is to be used to pay
for Americas trade war against its
rival and imperialist competitors.
The trade war that the United
States is waging, and the intensified
economic war policies of all the i'm
perialist countries, will inevitably
end, and in no very long time, in
the outbreak of new imperialist
war.
At the Economic Conference itself
the Hugenberg Memorandum of
fered by the German Fascist govern
ment suggested intervention against
the Soviet Union The United States
has authorized millions of dollars for
the building up of its navy Only
yesterday new sum of $1,000 900
was granted to the navy, supplement-
ing the recently authorized s238, 0o0,-
900 naval building program.
In few weeks it will be August l..
Nineteen years ago, on that day, the
World War broke out At no time
since then has the danger of ap-
preaching war been so great War
against the Soviet Union, war among
the inperialists for new sources of
profits at the cost of millions of
workers killed and manned, is az
present threat of the greatest dan
ger. The international working class,
under the leadership of the Com
munist International, has since 1929
demonstrated on August l its deter
mination to defend the Soviet Union,
it's fatherland, and its unshakeable
will to fight against coming war.
This year, too, on August l, the
greatest demonstrations must take
place. The danger of war grows
hourly, and the need for the strong
est expression of the will of the work
ers at the mass demonstrations OF
this August 1 is greater than ever
before.
