COMMUNIST CALL TO GERMAN WORKERS
Berlin Brandenburg District Party Appeal for United Front
Action Against Fascist Terror

THE Berlin Brandenberg district
L Party Committee of the Com
munist Party of Germany, on jan
uary %, issued the following appeal
for united front action against the
Hitler cut-throat regime of fascist
terror. 1t was addressed TO the
toiling population of Berlin, to the
working men and women Of the
Social Democratic Party, in the
Reichsbanner, in the Socialist
Youth League, in the Trade Unions.
The appeal is of particular inter-
est to the workers in the United
States, inasmuch as rene~ade ele-
ments expelled from the Commu-
INST Party for their treachery to
the working class are trying to
prevent the workers of America
from supporting the struggle of
the Communist Party of Germany,
against which the most murderous
blows of HitIerism are directed.
Workers of America must rally TO
the support of their German fellow
workers, against whom has been let
loose the most violent terror. Com
nlunist leaders in particular are the
victims of mass arrests and muir
ders.
American workers, join in mass
demonstrations to protest against
the German fascist terror. Send
protest kilograms to the German
embassy in Washington.

appeal follows:

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Feb. II
Over 20 workers were killed. and 1900

No. 4 Of Trotzky's "Pravda' was

of being free from fractionism
which the editorial board Of the
'Pravda' has acquired, and which

scrupulous imputaticn of 'Hquida-

Party comrades to appropriate our
organizational views"
In these lines, penned by the
leader of the Menshiviki, there is

the end of his career in the Party

itself: under the cloak of revolu-

shevist, counter-revolutionary poll
tics. Thus Dan, it is true, in his
way, confirmed that which Lenin
repeatedly wrote about Trotzky.
We give a few selections:

the theological Stock-in-trade Of one
fraction, and tomorrow from that
Of another fraction, and therefore
declares himself to be above both.

do you, workers i'll the Iron

Of their party in order to resign in a
parliamentary constitutional way if
the Papen Hitler Hugenberg front
should not obtain 81 per cent of the
votes on March 5? The theory that
the fascist regime will collapse on
account Of its own mismanagement
is weapon against us all.
do you, workers in the Iron Front

FALSE CLAIM
TO GOLD GUARD" RECORD
So fas as the year 1923 comes into
question, we would only mention that
Trotsky, in a letter to the Party
which was published in the "Pravda"
in December, 1928, considered him
self among the "old guard" of the
Party, lie, OF the Bolshevist Party;
that is to say, ne included himself
among the ''old Bolsheviki" Com
rade Stain, four days later gave him
the answer he deserved. The follow
ing facts, dating back 20 years, make
Trotslsy's pretentious claim appear
particularly amusing.
In an article "On the violation of
unity cloaked by cry about unity
which appeared in May, 1914, Lenin
briefly summed up Trotsky's career.
He wrote:
AN ARDENT MENSHEVIK
AT END OF 1903
TN the years 1901 to 1903, Trotsky
was an ardent supporter of the Iskra,
and Rjasanov described his role at
the Party Conference in 1903 as
'Lenin's cudgel' At the end of 1903,
TrotSky was an ardent Menshevik,
lie. he had gone over from the Iskra
supporters to the economists; he
announced: there is a chasn between
the old and the new Iskra. In the
year 1904-5 he turned away from the
MensheTiki and adopted vacillating
attitude, sometimes working together
with Martynov (the 'economists) and
sometimes proclaiming the ultra Left
permanent revolution In the year
1867 he drew nearer to the Boil
sheviki, and in the spring OF 1907 he
declared himself in agreement with
Rosa Luxembourg.
In the period of decline, after long
non-fractional vacillations, he went
again to the Right, and in August,
1912, Joined the bloc of the liquida-
tors. Now he turns away from them,
but nevertheless repeats, in essence
their miserable thesis.
"Such types are characteristic as
fragments of historical figures and
formations Of yesterday, when the
proletarian mass movement was still
asleep and any little group had suf-
tlcient room in order to come forward
as a tendency, as q group, as frac-
ton, in q word, as d power which
talks about uniting with others"
What were the circumstances in
which Lenin so sharply criticised

A PERIOD
or IDENTIFICATION

After the defeat OF the revolution
OF 1905 there was a period of disinte-
grafton III the Russian social demo-
cratic movement. The Right Wing
the Mensheyiki, developed in liqui-
dators, they wanted to liuuidate the
revolutionary slogans of 1905-1906,
and with them also the Illegal revo-
lutionary Party. A part OF the Boil
sheViki adopted a conciliatory at
titude towards the liquidators; in
addition there occurred in the
ranks of the Bolshevih a Left
deviation, that of the "Otsovists,"
who demanded the recall of the
social democratic deputies from the
Dunaa, that Is to say, the renuncia-
ton Of Parliamentary activity.
Outside the Bolshevikis there were
also various other tendencies, above
all q tendency among the Mensni-
Wiki which rejected liquidationism
and in the fight against the liquids-
tors approached the Bolsheviki.
TrotzlIy followed his inclination
and, as one said In the war, bought
a gun to make himself indepen-
dent. In the autumn Of 1908 he
obtained control of q paper, the
'PTaYda," founded by The Ukrain-
ian social democratic organization
"Spilka' in Lemberg, and which
Trotzky transferred to Vienna. Al
ready with the third number the
"Spilka" was compelled to repudt-
ate the paper owing to the protests
of the local organizations. This is
not surprising In June, Til. Dan.
