an fight Fascism These reactionary governments
where Fascism has already triumphed is growing
stronger every hour!
MIR. Rowan, who is so strutting an opponent of
Fascism, is remarkably silent the feversh
preparations of Mussoini, France, Britain Germany
and England
Above all he is silent on the notorious Hugenberg
Memorandum, presented by Htlers representatives to
the gathering of all the capitalist nations of the world
He is silent the fact that this Fascist document
contains not only complete plan for the mperialst
looting and partition Of the Soviet Union, but Is
actual call to the capitalist world to wipe out the
Socialist Workers government as the main bulwark
against world Fascist reactonl
Fascism and preparations mean Intervention
against the Soviet Union-that's what Mr.. Rowan is
trying to hide with his rotten praise of Mussolin and
his assault the Soviet Union
Every worker will understand what Rowan means
by his innocent demand that the Soviet Union send
threats" to the German government. 1t means that
Rowan and his trade union cliques deliberately
trying to break down. to hinder the firm and unshake
able peace policy of the Soviet Union!
He objects to the Soviet Unions trading with
Germany But he pretends not to that the delib-
breaking off of commercial relations of the So
Wet Union and Germany would play right into the
plans of Hitler who has been trying every conceivable
method of provoking the Soviet Union into
move.
He pretends not to that the peace policy of
the Soviet Union as exempfed in its trade and COM
is Of the means used by the Soviet Union in its
fight against war, whose source Is Fascsm. He pre-
tends not to that the peace policy OF the Soviet
Union Is powerful obstruction against Fascism be-
cause it means the successful building of Socialism,
CUREIY it is remarkable that Rowan and the A. F.
Of L. bureaucrats, who pretend to be so heart
broken about the triumph of German Fascism, the
actual supporters of advancing Fascism In their own
countries!
Do not the British Trade Union bureaucrats and
the A. F. Of L. support the MIRA. with ecstatic en-
thusiaSm? And is not the MIRA. the American edi-
ton OF advancing capitalist Fascism? Does not the
MIRA. outlaw all strikes? Does not the MIRA. make
all strikes acts Of rebellion against the capitalist gov
eminent? Does not MIRA. bring the armed forces of
the State state troopers, police, deputies, etc. into
immediate play against all strikers? Are not the pres
ent steel and coal strikes abundant living proof of
thatp
NOW it is clear what is behind the rantng of such.
fighters of Fascism as Mr.. Rowan
They part of the machinery to break down
the resistance Of the workers at home to wage cuts
to capitalist reaction and violence They the moral
preparation Of the Intervention against the Soviet
Union. They have the job Of paving the way for fas-
cism in their countries, while they weep croco-
ollie tears about the peace policy of the Soviet Union
Rowans speech and its enthusiastic reception by
the upper officaldom of the A. F. of L. Is challenge
to the rank and file workers in the A. F. of locals
to rally in united front struggles against their strike
breaking officials, who part Of the prepara-
tions against the Soviet Union.
Workers in the A. F. of l.. locals! You know that
the Soviet Union is the workers fatherand that the
workers there building Socialism,
Drive out Of your ranks these Intervention in
citers Repudate these false pretended opponents of
Fascism! Repudiate these leaders who are actually
helping to pave the way for Fascism here.
