The daily worker., 1933-10-11
Strike a Blosv at FaSctSm!


TT is no exaggeraton to say that the Daily Worker
created q tremendous stir among the workers Of
New York City by the publication last Saturday, of
the startling revelations Of Nazi activities in the
United States.
In shockingly concrete manner workers saw clear
y the sinister methods being used by the murderous
Hitlerites
What was the response of the New York capitalist
press to the Daily" expose?
In spite of the fact that their special attention
called to the documents which appeared in Saturdays
Daily Worker, not single newspaper in New York
published word about charges of Nazi spying ac
tiyites until Tuesday morning And on that day
only the New York Times had the barest reference
to the part which the Daily Worker played in this
campaign. The rest OF the press contented itself to
playing up the announcement by Congressman Samuel
Dckstein that he would proceed to an investigation
Of Hitlerte propaganda in the United States.
JUST where the New York Times stands on this issue
y is clearly seen from the fact that while the N Y.
Times quotes Heinz spankoebel and Haag, Nazi pro-
pagandistS to the effect that the Daily Worker ex-
pose "libeous and forgery" it took pains not
quote the contents of the Nszi letter which the
Daily published in full.
While an earlier edition of the New York Times
quoted paragraph from the Friends of New Ger
many letter in which the author of the letter Haag
said that "it was child's play to make good anti
that this paragraph was deeted from later editions.
WITHOUT placing too much hope in the fruitfulness
OF Dicksteins congressional quiz the Daily Worker
say that It's expose of the Nazs in its Sat-
urdays issue which the immediate cause for the
move being made by Dickstein.
1T noteworthy that while the capitalist press gave
lavish space to Dickstein's announcement, great
was taken TO SUPPRESS the contents of the Daily
Worker expose which showed that the Nazis were
plotting to hang else in the place of Marinus
van der Lubbe, halfwtted Naz tool in the Reichstag
frameup and considering suggestions to in
fect Torgler and the other Communists on trial with
syphilis germs
Neither the N. z Times nor the rest of the press
published the following excerpt from the Naz letter
for example:
~ II cannot find place for Van der Lubbe here
it is best you throw him overheard into the Ocean
while en- route TO another country. Whom do you
intend to hang in his place in Germany? 1 agree
with entirely that it would be good to give the
damned Communists in Leipzig injection of
syphilis Then it can be said that Communism
from syphilis of the brain"
The capitalist press it is clear is not eager for
the American workers to draw parallels between the
frame-up, murder methods of the German Nazis with
those of the u S. capitalist class.
THIS deliberate suppression Of the Daily Worker
charges is nothing else but implicit sanction to Naz
activities in the United States The capitalist press
knows that the widespread pubcizing of the criminal
plans OF the Nazs would strike powerful blow against
the woud-be execuoners of Torgler and his comrades
on trial And aid for the defense of the Communists
rs the last thing which the boss press cares to ac-
complish,
II Is against the masters of the degenerate Nazis in
New York that Torger, Dimitroh and their COM
rades are fighting with Communist courage in the
Leipzig courtroom while the hangman's halter already
hangs around their neck
BY their heroic self-defense in court they are
forcing the press of the world to broadcast their in
dictnent of Fsscism.
The rising tide Of FaScism shows itself in America
as it does in Europe. The A1nbridge massacre of
striking steel workers is a feat" of which Hitler
would be as proud as are the American defenders of
capitalism.
There is only resolute force in opposition to
Fasc1sm, In Germany or here That is the working
ctsss
Workers! Torger and Dmitrof raise their cour-
Ageous Communist protest in the shadow of the Nazi
hangman, who has already received his orders
Workers students, intellectuals of America raise
your thunderous protest in chorus with theirs Gather
tonight in New Star Casino 107th Street and Park
Avenue, in a mighty demonstration for the freedom
OF our brother fighters against Fascism in GERMANY

German working class, and against Fascism every
where
