NTH plans for administration OF the

When President Roosevelt on March
29 recommended governmental super
vision of the sale of investment securi-
ties he asked that Congress give sane
tion to a new rule of law
This proposal" he said in his mes
sage, "adds to the ancient rule CT
caveat emptor the further doctrine:
Let the seller also beware 1t puts
the burden OF telling the whole truth
on the seller.
That the securities act as signed by
the President on May u does just that
appears evident from widespread re-
ports of the holding up of new f1nanc-
ing and curtailment of the marketing
OF issues heretofore announced while
the exact implications of the new
measure are being studied.
Pending the announcement of rules
and regulations by the Federal Trade
Commission, which is charged with
supervision of the registration of Sc
cufltles, there are many points on
which there is confusion.
Called Leading Bill of Session.
How the commission views its re-
sponsibinty may be realized from its
declaration on the day of the signing of
the act that it is probably the most
important piece of legislation that has
been passed by the present Congress"
While the commission has no au-
thority to pass upon the value or sound
ness of any security, it does have very
wide powers. It's administration of the
act may exert profound influence upon
the financing of American industrial
enterprises and upon the floating of
foreign securities in this country as well.
The purposes sought to be achieved
In the legislation were summarized by
Representative Sam Rayburn of Texas,
chairman of the House Committee on
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, in
reporting the bill to the House as fol-
lows:
l. An insistence that there should
be full disclosure of every essentially
important element attending the issue
of new security.
g. A requirement that whatever ac-
ton taken by the Federal Government
for such disclosure should be limited
to that purpose and should be so de-
vised as not to be capable of being
construed as an approval or guaranty
of security issue.
8. A demand that the persons,
whether they be directors, experts or
underwriters, who sponsor the invest
ment of other peoples money, should
+. be held up to the high standards of
trusteeship.
Collapse of security values in the
depression of the last three and one

termined by three conditions:
l. Did the Communist Party of
Germany adequately estimate the
rapid tempo of the offensive of fas-
cism, did it mobilize the masses I'M
Ger its leadership in sufficient time
to resist this offensive?
2. Did it perseveringly, systematic
ally and untiringly keep to the line
Of the drawing in the broadest mas
ses possible of social democratic and
non-Party workers for the struggle
against fascism?
8. Did the Party, under the new
conditions of unheard-of fascist ter
ror, reorganize its front, fighting
rearguard actions and recognizing
its ranks with the least possible los
ses in the given conditions?
Who can deny that the G. P. G..
clearly saw the danger of fascism ad-
vancing, that it warned the broad
masses of this danger, that it mob
ilized the masses for the fight against
it at all-stages of the offensive of
fasciSm? The seizure of power by
Hitler did not come upon the G. P. c.
suddenly. Even before the seizure of
power by Hitler the Party carried out
with it's own forces about 300 political
strikes in all those places in which
its influence seemed adequate. After
the seizure of power by Hitler, at a
time when the fascist bands we're ar
ranging a blood bath in Eisleben
when every day they were killing in
the streets dozens of workers who
belonged to the anti-fascist front,
the revolutionary workers, under the
Leader ship OF the Communist Party,
put up an embittered resistance to
the fascistS. Strikes such as those
in StraSsfurt, Harburg and Lubbock
were models of real revolutionary
fighting front, the Communist work
ers drawing into the fight by their
example social democratic and unor-
ganized workers. The funerals of
the workers killed by the fascists

Nazis Plan to Hang 8
Bulgarian Leaders

MOSCOW, May 1.-THE Interna-

Of the International Labor Defense,
today called for widespread CAM
paign against the threatened hang
ing of George Dimitroff and two
other Bulgarian working class lead
ers, who are being used by the
German Fascists as scape- goats for

The LID. also calls for protest.

of Torgler and Thaelmann, Commgi-

Taneff were arrested in Berlin on
March 9 and accused of completely

by the Hitlerites as Communist"
Van der Lubbe turned out to be a

In order to foist their story on the
German public, the brown shirts have
again unearthed the exposed Zankoff
forgeries in an effort to re-establish
the myth that these three Bulgarian
Communists participated in the exc
plosion of the Sofia Cathedral in
1925.
The three men were political re-
fugees to Germany. Dimitroff was
sentenced in Absentia, once to death
and at another time to Is years inn
prisonment because of his activities az

for his leadership in the workers and
peasants uprisings of 1928.

GERMAN LOCALS
ASK DEFENSE OF
TRADE UNIONS

BERLIN, May (By MaiD Rep
resentatiVes Of q locals from the big
gest industrial centers of Germany
(the Hhine-Ruhr area, Saxony, Cen
trail Germany and Berlin) have is
sued an appeal, circulated illegally,
calling upon the German workers to
defend their unions.
The appeal accuses the reformiSt
leaders of trying to come to work
ing agreement with the Fascists, as
well as handing over the unions to the
present Fascist rules, and going over
to the Fascist camp themselves.
The appeal continues: I'm spite of
this cowardly behavior of the reform
ist leaders, the fighting determine
ton of the rank and file is working
day by day.
1.-THE militant union functionaries
and local leaders cannot afford to
be inactive for another hour. All
meetings of locals, and factory meet
ings must discuss the plans of the
Fascist government and must take
fighting decisions. Fighting commit
tees for the defense of the unions
must be leected in all local meetings.
1.-THE trade union press, which ap-
peals for support of the Fascist die
tatorship, must be boycotted De-
mand the exclusion of Leipart, Tar
now, Scheffel, etc. Ask all trade
union officials WHETHER they are will
ing to fight with the masses against
the Fascist plans. Dismiss them with
out hesitation if they side with the
treacherous reformist leadership.
Flight in comradly but deter
mined manner against downhearted-
ness in your own ranks, against re-
against voluntarily quitting the trade
unions.
Fight against the tendency to es-
cape Nazi terror by joining the Nazi
factory cells. In these momentous
days you must convince the best
class conscious workers that they
must join the ranks of your unions.
Long live the fighting united front
of the German working class against
Fascist dictatorship-for work, bread
and freedom, for Socialism,"
Compare with this the treachery
of the Social Democratic leaders. The
Dusseldorf district leader Of the
Caterers Union said to a Communist:
You are one Of those who always
disturbed our work. If / had my
way, I'd have you stood up against
