Swiss Workers Pull
Down Nazis Flag

BASLE, March 1.-THE workers of
Basic, Infatuated at the hosting of
a swastika Nazi flag over the Baden
railway station, demonstrated in the
city streets. Three hundred police
repeatedly charged the demonstra-,
tors, arresting one hundsNl and TWEEN
ty, including National Councillor Ar

The police then occupied and closed

Fascist storm troops and

take them to the National Socialist

them and breaking their fingers with
the object of getting names and ad-

About $500 Communists, tortured
almost to death, are lying in the Ma

hardly had time to start working,
when the Versailles government,
supported by the entire bourgeoisie,
opened military operations against
Paris. The Commune had to think
first of all of defense. Right up to
the very end, May 21-28, it had no
time to think seriously of anything
else.
REPLACED STANDING ARMY
BY THE ARMED PEOPLE
In spite of such unfavorable con-
ditions, in spite of the brevity of
its existence, the Commune found
time to carry out some measures
which sufficiently characterize its
real significance and aims. The
Commune replaced the standing
army, that blind weapon in the
hands of the ruling classes, by the
armed people.
1t proclaimed the separation Of
church from State, abolished the

gave popular education a purely
secular character, and in this way
struck q severe blow at the gen
darnes in prieStly robes.
In the purely social sphere, the
Commune could do very little, but
this little nevertheless clearly
shows it's character as q popular,
workers Government. Night work
in bakeries was forbidden, the sys-
tenn of fines, this system of legalized
robbery of the workers, was abol-
ished. Finally, the famous decree
was issued according to which all
factories, works and workshops
which had been abandoned or
stopped by their owners, were to be
handed over to associations of
workers in order to resume pro-
duction.
And, as if to emphasize it's char
acter as truly democratic pro-
letarian Government, the Commune
decreed that the salaries of all ranks
in the administration and the gov
eminent should not exceed the

ONLY THE WORKERS
REMAINED LOYAL

Only the workers remained loyal
TO the Commune to the end. The
bourgeois republicans and the petty
bourgeoisle soon broke away from
it, the former afraid of the revolu-
tiouary Socialist proletarian char
acter Of the movement, and the
others dropping out when they saw
that it was doomed to inevitable
defeat. Only the French proletariat
supported their Government fear
lessly and untiringly, they alone
fought and died for it, for the
cause Of the emancipation of the
working class, for q better future
for all toilers.
Deserted by their allies of yester-
day and supported by no one, the
Commune was doomed to inevitable
defeat. The entire bourgeoisie of
France, all the landlords, the stock
brokers, the factory owners, all the
great and small robbers, all the ex-
ploiters, combined against it.
This bourgeois coalition, sup
ported by Bismarck (who released
a hundred thousand French soldiers
who had been taken prisoner, to
put down revolutionary Paris, sue
ceeded in rousing the backward
peasants and the petty bourgeoisie
Of the provinces against the pro-
letariat Of Paris, and in surrounding
half of Paris with a ring of steel
(the other half was held by the
German army.
In some Of the larger cities in
France CMarseDles, Lyons, st. Ell
enne, Dion, etc. the workers also
attempted to seize power, to pro-
claim the Commune, and come to
the help of Paris, but these attempts
soon failed. Paris, which had first

MANY ELEMENTS
IN MOVEMENT

At first this movement was ex-
tremely indefinite and confused. 1t
was joined by patriots who hoped
that the Commune would renew the
war with the Germans and bring it
to successful conclusion. 1t was
supported by the small shopkeepers
who were threatened with ruin
unless there was q postponement of
payments on debts and rent (the
Government cid not want to give
them such a postponement but the
Commune gave it,. Finally, it had,
at first, the sympathy of the bour-
geois republicans, who feared that
the reactionary National Assembly
(the "backwoodsmen," ignorant
landlords would restore the mon
archy.
But the chief role in this move
ment was Of course played by the
workers ESPECIALLY the artisans of
Paris, among whom Socialist prop
uganda had been energetically car
ried on during the last years Of the
Second Empire and many of whom
even belonged to the First Inter-
national

yUHY do the proletariat, not only
W in France but throughout the
entire world, honor the workers of
the Paris Commune as their fore
runners? What was the heritage OF
the Commune?
This was an event unprecedented
in history. Up to that time power
had customarily been in
the hands Of the landlords
and capitalists, i. e., in the hands
of their trusted agents who made
up the so-caued government. After
the revolution Of March Is, when
the Theirs Government fled from
Paris with its troops, its police and
its officials, the people remained
masters of the situation and power
passed into the hands Of the pro-
letariat.
But in modern Sosiety, enSlaYed
economically by capital, the pro-
letariat cannot dominate politically
unless it breaks the chains which
fetter it to capital. This is why the
movement of the Commune newt
ably had to take on a Socialist
coloring, i. e., to begin striving for
the overthrow Of the power of the
bourgeoisie, the power of capital,
to destroy the very foundations OF

New Air Route to Use Float

WashingtOn.-After many years
of prOphesy and experimentation, a
floating halfway house" for trans
ocean alrplanes, may soon appear
on the Atlantic ocean between At

"The ocean air field" says bull
letin from the National Geographic
society, twill be the Westfalen. a
5,12O- ton vessel which has been
successfully used in experiments in
the North sea.
1.-THE Westfalen has been con-

floating island by a German air
transport company which owns and
operates many of Germany's lead
ing air lines," continues the bull
letin.
''The proposed air route on which
the Westfalen will be used will
bring Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires,
and other cities of South America
within five days flying time OF Ber-
lin. The first section of the route
lies between Berlin and Cadiz,
Spain; the second between Cadiz
and Bathurst, Gambia, on the west
coast of Africa; and the third will
be the 1850 mile transatlantic Sec
