BY FRITZ HECKERT

At the presidential election it con-
Guided an alliance with the monarch
ist Hindenburg, in that it opposed
Hindenburg to Hitler as the defender
Of the achievements of the November
revolution and the Weimar Consti-
tuition. 1t supported in actual fact
the Papen-S chleicher government, by
which it was driven out of the PruS-
sian government on July 20. 1t pre-
pared the way for the seizure Of power
by Hitler, in that it preached to the
masses that it was better that Hitler
should come to power by constitu-
tional means without opposition from
the workers than as result of a
bloody battle. Step by step it helped
Hitler to force his way to power, in
that it, with its party and trade
union organization, suppressed all at
tempts on the part Of the workers to
organize mass struggle against
fascism.
The more the fascist danger grows,
the larger the number of social
democratic workers who feel that its
leadership leads the working class to
disaster More and more vigorously
they demand that social democracy
and the trade unions should accept
the repeated proposals of the Cont
munist Party TO, the organization of
a united front against fascisrn. But
social democracy defends it's reac-
tionary front with the bourgeoisie,
particularly in the form of the famous
Iron Front" Social democracy de-
clares, in a decisive moment, in order
to pacify the workers, that 1t is ready
to fight against fascisrn, but only at
a suitable opportunity. One must
bide ones time. The chairman of the
Metal Workers Union, Urich, re-
quests the workers not to begin the
fight until Hitler has infringed the
Constitution and gone over to meth
DDS of violence. This is said at a
time when fascist Storm Troops are
already laying waste the workers
quarters, and are killing and mall
treating not only Communist workers,
but even members of the Reichs-
banner.
On January 80 Hitler succeeded to
power and the whole State machinery
together with the Storm troops fell
upon the workers. To suffocate the
primitive forms of resistance against
the fa5cists which were now developed
by the workers, the Social Democrats
implored the workers to keep to the
and to answer Hitler
with their votes" Rejecting the pro-
posal Of the Communist Party for the
OF a Joint political strike,
'Vorwaerts" wrote that participation
in such strike would mean the fir
ing into the air al those rifles that
would be needed for 2 more serious
moment. On Fesruary zs, the fasciste

organized the burning of the Reicn-
stag, and Immediately an unbridled
orgy of terror directed against the
working class set in. On March /, the
Social Democrats declared it was al
ready too late to oppose fascism, that
it was necessary to wait until fascism
brought about its own ruin.
What do all these incontestable
facts, which have taken place before
the eyes of all the workers, prove?
Firstly, they prove that the Social
Democratic Party has remained loyal
TO the last to its reactionary united
front with the bourgeoisie; secondly,
that social democracy has systemati-
cally paved the way for fascism step
by step, and has carried it to power:
thirdly, that it has Systematically dis
rupted the struggle of the working
class against fascisnn, and hindered
the formation of the revolutionary
united front of the working class
against fascism with all the means at
its disposal; fourthly, that the social
democratic policy of a reactionsry
united front has accelerated the open
detection of Wells and Leipart to
faSciSn.
The Communists Foresaw the Fascist
Evolution OF the Social Democracy
Did the C.P.G. and the Corninteru
foresee the inevitability OF this fas-
cist development of social democracy?
Did they warn the workers Of 1t? Yes,
they foresaw it and issued their warn
ing! AS early as 1924 Con1rade Stain
gave definition OF the development
of social democracy into fascism that
in Its exactness and it's clear-s sighted
ness is unsurpassed, a definition that
was made the basis of the program
of the Comintern and the policy of
the CPG.:-
''Fascism--said Comrade Stain
is fighting organization of the
bourgeoiSie, an organization that
rests on the active support Of So
cial democracy. Social democracy
is effectively the moderate wing of
fascism. There exists no reason
for supposing that the fighting Or
ganization Of the bourgeoisie can
achieve decisive successes in their
struggles or in their leadership of
the country without the active sup
port of social democracy. And there
is just as little reason to suppose
that social democracy can achieve
decisive successes in its struggles or
in its leadership Of the country
without active support by the
fighting organization OF the
bourgeoisie. These organizations do
not contradict each other, but con1-
plete each other. They aIs M sntss

slsting of eleven articles, also proyid-
ing for the conclusion of an agree
nlent for recourse to conciliatory pro-
cedure.
The draft treaty contains the usual
undertakings of aggression pacts
regarding the remuneration of war,
the refusal to participate in hostile
acts in aid of third power which is
the aggressor, refusal to take part in
agreements directed at the violation
Of the territorial integrity or political
independence of the other party to
the treaty, and mutual refusal to in
terfere in the other partys domestic
affairs.
In addition to the articles usually
contained in mons aggression treaties,
the Marking government included in
the draft treaty an article giving the
pact special Importance connected
with the events in the Far East,
namely refusal to recognize de jure
any de facto situations created by
the aggression of third power.
Apparently this article is aimed at
hindering the sale OF the Chinese
Eastern Railway as well as mainten-
ance of official relations with the
state of Manchukuo.

OF Leipart's trade unions as the sec
ond point for the united front of
the Communists with social demo-
crazy. At the same time, however,
Leipart, Trotzky's ally delivers up the
trade unions to Hitler, declaring that
the A.DGB. accepts the reorganiza-
ton of the trade unions according to
the Italian pattern, and writes that
the tasks with which the trade unions
are confronted must be fulfilled in

of the State takes That the trade
unions are always ready TO cooper

that they will recognize State con-

ion urlnasked the counter-revolu-
tionary meaning of the platform Of
the social Hitherto Trotzky who has
striven to prove that cial-defnocracy
and fascism are not twins, but anti
podes.
But what would such platform
for the united front have implied,
even if the social democrats had been
ready to fight for it in reality? 1t
would have implied nothing else but
the defense of the government of
Bruening, of Papen-Schleicher a de-

the Communist Party a detection to

SYDNEY, Australia, May is. -
Japan's penetration of the Australian
market is growing day by day, dis
placing British exports to the Donni-
Mon.
Japanese exports to Australia for
the last half of 1882 totalled nearly
$4,000, 900, or 80 per cent more than
in the previous six months. The
Japanese are aided by the drop of
the yen from a par value of so cents
to 80 cents, enabling them to cut
below even the preferential Ottawa
duties granted British Empire goods.
BERLIN, May l6.-Germany will
stop the payment of interest and
sinking fund on its foreign short and
long-term debt before the end of
May, Reichsbank officials announced
yesterday.
Foreign creditors will be asked"
to deposits credits due them in Ger
man marks at the ReichSbank, which
will hold these funds on deposit and
allow the transfer of only such
amounts as Germany's rapidly van
ishing export surplus will allow. A
creditors meeting has been called
for Berlin on May 26th, but it is I'M
likely that the foreign creditors will
participate, as they will be faced
with an accomplished fact--the mo-
ratorium.
This German step is considered a
move to strengthen Germany's bar
gaining power for concessions at the
coming World Economic Confluence
another instalment of the open trade
war raging throughout the world.

Revolving Pc asant S
Clash With Troops

HAVANA, May 16.-A band of 200
armed insurectionists attacked and
seized the town of Taguasco, on the
Santa Clara -Camaguey border yes
terday.
They overpowered and disarmed
the Rural Guards, confiscated all
arms and ammunition, requisitioned
food and supplies, and cut all wire
lines as they retreated to the hills.
The government troops are unable to
catch the numerous rebel bands oper-
ating in the region, as the rebels en-
joy the active support of the popu-
lation, which is bitterly hostile to the
Machado regime.
Delayed reports tell Of sharp fight
ing between government troops and
Cuban peasants who are fighting
against starvation and the landlords
oppression. On Sunday violent
clash took place at Finca las Tosas,
40 miles southeast of Havana. The
movement of revolt among the
peasants has grown by leaps and
bounds during the last few months.
