WHAT is going to happen in Ger
w many?
An unqualified answer to this
question would be prophesy Of
little value. Ali we can do is show
the probable general directions Of
these future happenings, but not
their detailed contents.
First, we must understand the
purpose of HitleriSm. HitIerism
has an economic program, an ideo-
logical object, and a political me-
thod. Its economic program is q
confused and underlined reaction
airy petty bourgeois socialism. Its
theological object is SenseleSs ma
tionalism. Its methods are a die
tatorship by means Of terrorism.
The economic program satisfied
the class interests of the petty bour-
geoiSie. Nationalisn was to create
the illusion of identity Of interest
OF all classes; and terrorism is to
keep down those who, in spite of
the program and nationalism OF
Hitler, insist on fighting for their
own class interests.
THE nearer Hitlerism came to
L power the more did its econom-
ic program disappear; only its poi
Sonous anti-Semitism, its hollow
nationalisin, and its terrorist me-
thodS remained. How can this be
explained? To declare the econom-
ic program of Hitlerism merely a
demagogic trimming of the sub
stance of Hitlerism is only half an
answer.
The economic program Of Hitler
ism reflected the political desires
of bankrupt petty bourgeoisie. But a
program adopted to the needs Of
the petty bourgeoisie can satisfy
neither capitalists nor workers. The
petty bourgeoisie senses that. That
is why terrorism appears from the
very start as method of Hitler
to realize his program.

While not engaged in actual
military operations at the present
time, American Imperialism is
feverishly preparing for war, and
at the same time, under the mask
Of peace, it is assisting in the
robber war in China, and has in
stigated its puppet governments IN
South America in the undeclared
war against the tools Of British
Imperialism. Hence, it is precisely
by the attitude one takes now to
these warlike actions and prepara-
tons Of U. S. Imperialism that in
dicates the position one will adopt
at the time American Imperialism
will openly plunge into the next
world war.
1t was only d few months after
the return of the Japanese delegate
to the Congress Of the Second In
ternational that the leadership of
the Socialist Party of Japan, head
ed by its general secretary, Mr..
Akamatsu, with d majority of its
membership, openly organized
themselves into q fascist party,
taking the lead in helping bloody
Japanese Imperialism carry on its
rape of China.
Did We hear a word from the
leaders of the Socialist Party OF
the United States Tor of the Soci-
alist internationally against this
act Of Shiny treachery on the part
OF their Japanese Con1rades-ir-
arms? On the contrary, it was Mr..
Vandervelde, chairman Of the
Second International who stated
that shortly before Japan openly
launched its war in Manchmia,
he was negotiating with the lead
ers of that same japanese Soci-
alist Party trying to get them to
officially affiliate with the End In
ternational.
BACK INVASION
OF MANCHURIA
Mr.. Suzuki, another leader OF
Japanese simultaneously thought
he could better serve his inperi-
alist master by remaining within
the ranks Of the workingclass. In
the name of Socialism he called
upon the masses Of Japan TO sup
port the imperialist adventure in
Manchuria. Japan" he goes on
to say, $50 poor in raw materials,
Is not at all Obliged, for the sake
of peace, to carry on q seni-starya~
ton existence even a Social
ist Japan would have to tight for
the necessary raw materials for It's
industries"
In other words, every further
advance of japanese Imperialism
into China, the carnage at Chapel,
the butchery of thousands OF nom
conbatant men, women and child
rem, should be greeted by the work
ers as step towards Socialism,
according TO these traitors.
Did we hear q word in protest
from "our" Socialist leaders against
this new theory of Socialism? Tt
vas only after Mr. Suzuki came to
europe III an effort to win the
European workers over TO this I'M
psrialist theory, and after thous-
snds OF workers rose in protest and
disgust against this disguised fas-
cist, that the leaders Of the Second
International and OF the American
S. p. were forced to "take stand"
But even then, what did they have
to say? While pretending TO re-
,ounce, they indirectly defend this
Fascist Party

IL CENTS A DAY ENOUGH
FOR WORKER, SAY BOSSES

The document calculates that 50
pfennig (about II cents per day
is enough for an adult worker to
live on; for children over 9 years
Of age So pfennig (13 cents per
day is declared enough; and for
smaller children "a pfennig eight
and half Cents) per day is deem
ed sufficient These amounts are
supposed to take care also of cloth
ing, hygiene, education, taxes and
recreation.
Here we have the economic pro-
gram of German capitalism--it is
also the economic program OF world
capitalism. For capitalism, the
worker is merely a working ami
NAL. When "hard times" come, the
animal has no right to expect that
the master should suffer. But the
animal gets its diet changed, from
oats to straw, from corn to slop,
from meat to potatoes.
Capitalism not only Supscribes q
starvation diet for the workers; it
also supplies the policemen, the
club, the tear gas bomb and the
bullet to force the worker to accept
this diet without a murmur. Muir
murs are declared unpatriotic; they
are denounced as outright bolshe-
vism. In spite of all, the murmurs
increase in volume. AS q remedy
capitalism increases the police, the
clubs, the tear gas bombs and the

celebrates in a side room, the con-
ference separates into regional Sec
tions. The regional sections meet
in different parts of the hall. Their
resolutions are then forwarded to
tt program committee. The South
r S. has to work underground.
The Northeast r. S. announces
election of committees to study
marketing, poultry, dairy, fruit, etc.
The Northwest r. S., most militant
Of all, announces plans for a re-
gional conference March 1 and
plans for marches on state capitals.
Also a fight on the insurance COM
panieS which are sending impover-
iShed farmers from one state to
another and making room for them
by evictions.
The Program Committee votes a
permanent organization. Yearly
meetings to meet new developments
in the crisis another conference
may be called in less than a year.
A National Committee, consisting
of a farmer from each state, is
chosen to force the carrying out
of the Conferences resolutions and
to help federate and extend the
local Farmers Committees of Ac-
ton throughout the U. S. The
National Committee will help call
regional conferences. The COM
mittees of action are the chief
weapons of the farmer. They fight
foreclosures, evictions, sheriff sales.
-Four members of the National
Committee with the Executive Sec
rotary are to form an executive
committee to meet frequently in
Washington. A weekly farm paper
is to be issued to help carry on the
program of the conference.

First Actor" of the Coast,

IAN KEITH returned recently to
Broadway after four years absence
on the Coast. There he appeared not
only in films-he is currently to be
seen in The Sign of the Cross''-but
ne became practically the first actor
OF the Coast theater, by reason of play
ing out there in series of Broadway
hlts. Far Western audiences made their
acquaintance with Peter Ibbetson,"
The Command to Love- He Who
Gets Slapped The Firebrand," Eliza
beth and Essex and Grand Hotel"
via Ian Keith in the star roles. Last
season he put on his own production
OF Hamlet" with a cast including
Irving Pichel, Mary Young, John Craig
and Montagu Love.
When this actor left Broadway he
was featured by Herman Shumlin in
The Command Performance. He
first came to New York attention in
Belasco's production of Laugh Clown
Laugh" with Lionel Barrymore.
Among his later Broadway appear
ances were The Silver Fox" The
Czarina" and Orlando in Belasco's pro-
duction of As You Like It.
Although Keith is often referred to
as an English actor, he is definitely
American. Boston born, and is the di-
rect descendant of George Ross. a
sigrer of the Declaration of Independ-
ence. He recently married the Baroness
Fern Won Andra former leading lady
in Max Reinhardts Berlin company,
and later star of several important

Or has the stage grown regenerate
and is no longer insolently Haunting the
bad habits of wicked men and women?
Not so long ago the air was full Of
calls for the patrol wagons because
things were being said and done upon
the Broadway platforms. The drama
was accused of nudity and of other
unwholesome appeals to the naughty
senses and it was assailed by press and
pulpit as the JeZebel of the Muses..
Those were the days when The Cap

were backed up for What Price

ment is now being paraded in the
Times Square theaters without inter-
ruption from the police. They are not,
however, as blatant as they used to be.

Exchange System

Mr. Truck advocates this exchange
because he has learned by experience
how much can be gained by an actor
working On the English stage. For 10
years on the American stage Truck has
been the funny little type of The Fall
Guy" Il could never have attempted"
he said, 'the serious play Many
Waters for example, without my Lon
don experience" "Such Is the current
expression in the American drama our
native actor has been forced to develop
as a strict character or of-the-soil type.
He has virtually none Of the polished
drawing room manner that is inherent
in the British school," Truck explained.
Truck made his London debut in "The
Fall Guy" a play heavy with East Side
vernacular, and astounded even his
hopeful managers by winning ever the
hard-headed gallery gods, who ulti-
mately decide the success or failure Of
Wales decided to run down and see the
show the success of Truck and THE
Fall Guy" was assured, and Truck
stayed on in London for three years,
doing his level best for happier inter-
national relations.
During those years Truck was a close
student of the English theater. Above
all, he was struck by the evident superb
ority Of British players in drawing room
plays. Too, he found that in an Eng
lsh atmosphere he, very quickly abb
sorbed their mannerisms and was able
to reproduce them effectively on the
stage. And that he considered quite
feat, for he had never up to that time
tried any really serious Characterization
on the stage. And Truck figured, II
he could do it after 20 years on the
stage, then any American actor could
learn Just as easily.
The result is that there will prob
ably be some sort of reciprocal exchange
system worked out by the Equity Asso-
Citations in America and England And,
Truck maintains, the result will be q
cosmopolitan touch added to the stages
Of beth countries.

he might hurt himself and we'd have
