treated before the drive OF capital,
SO that even seven Of the smaller
independent" parties in the appeal
to the Communist International were
compelled to acknowledge that the
Second international has fatally dis
credited itself by its liberation to-
wards the capitalist policy of coilab-
grafton of classes which is catas-
trophicsly worSening the conditions
of the working class" But even in
the latest months and days the Par
ties of the Second International, in
Guiding the So-called independent
parties" have continued this policy
of class despite the pro-
posals of the Communists to organize
the struggle.
The Norwegian Workers Party"
which has signed an appeal of the
independents" has recently proposed
a united front of the parties of big
capital, promising support to the lib
erals with the aim of creating q gov
ernment of the majority. The Social
Democratic Parties of Czecho-SIo-
vakia, Sweden, Denmark, are even at
present in the governments, where
they are carrying through anti-work-
ing class legislation. In CZecho-
Slovakia, mass organizations of the
Communists are being closed, the
Communist Deputies aee handed over
to the courts of the bourgeoisie, not
speaking already about the disruption
Of the strike struggle,
Social Fascist Leaders Reject
United Front.
The Communist Party OF Germany
and the revolutionary trade union
opposition have proposed many times
to the German Social Democracy and
to the Federation Of the German
Trade Unions, a united front for
the struggle against the offensive of
capital and against the Fascist die
tatorship. These offers have been
met only with ridicule on the part
of the Social Democratic leaders.
The united front Of the working
class for the struggle against Fas-
cis1n is not established solely due to
the guilt of the Social Democratic
Parties.
The Government Of Hitler has
opened vicious persecution OF Com
munists and declared struggle fol
the destruction Of MarXism in Ger
many. Hundreds and thousands OF
advanced workers. Communists are
thrown into prisons. The parliament
tary Communist fraction Is being ar
rested. The leader Of the German
workers, Comrade Thaelman, Il
placed in prison. The Fascists' forces
OF darkness are doing their aboniin-
able work. Even the Social Demo
cratic papers of Prussia, where eight
months ago the Social Democrats
we're yet in power, are closed for two
weeks! The National Socialists are
dispensing the Social Democratic
meetings, raiding the Social Demo
cratic Party, Trade Unions, Co-opera-
tive Houses. The Social Democratic
workers are more and more uniting
with the Communists for Joint strug-
gle against Fascism.
The answer of the Executive Com
mittee of the Communist Interna-
tional, to the appeal of the Second
International, gives once more the
possibility to the Social Democrats
to show whether they wish to &c
into struggle against Fascism or
whether they are preparing to CAPT.
tulate completely before Hitler.
The Communist International, ir
It's directives to the Communist Par
ties, is putting forward the most
simple demands Which every worker
can understand.
1t proposes to act, considering un-
necessary the compilation Of an,
joint declarations, platforms, appeals
etc. It declares that during the time
OF these revolutionary actions, tha1
solely during that time the Comml'
nists will refrain from attacks
against fhe Social Democratic organ
izations. 1t shows indeed that th'
Communists are not against agree
lnents If these agreements are di
rected against the bourgeoisie end il
the interests of the working masses
! With its appeal the Communist In
