Reports from the agricultural area
show that spring sowing is consider
ably ahead OF last year in spite Of I'M
favorable weather conditions.
These facts completely refute the
ISLANDERS and lies of the enemies Of
the Soviet Union who saw in the diff
t1culties of food distribution the
breakdown of the socialist planned
economy. The advances in Soviet
production indicate that the food diff
ficulties are being overcome. The
rapid growth of Soviet production
at a moment when the industry of
the capitalist countries is sinking
ever more deeply into the swamp of
crisis and depression, proves that the
relation of world forces is rapidly
shifting in favor Of socialist economy.

REICHSBANk TO
PAY ALLIES GOLD
Mark Falls 8 Points
on Announcement

BERLIN, April 6.--The foreign ex-
change market broke, the mark tum-
bling for an point fall, ON the an
nouncement that the ReichSbank will
pay the $70,oO0,000 balance of the
short time loan negotiated from Eng
land, America, and France i'll June,
1881. Difficulty in paying the heavy
interest charges on the loan, plus the
fact that it has been used as a lever
for French political pressure on Ger
many each time it falls due, COM
PEELED the Reichsbank to make a final
settlement.
This means that the German gold
reserve will drop further below the
legal reserve minimum of 40 per cent
to figure of Is per cent. Germany
is therefore already off the gold
standard, and with the 300 million
mark addition to the note circula-
ton, initiation has already begun.
The substitution of Hjalmar
Schacht for DR.. Luther as Reichs-
bank head means embarkation on a
policy Of initiation which will be used
as a method of further exploitation
of the German working class, as
prices will rise rapidly while wages
remain relatively fixed.

Marine Workers Score War Plans
Roy Hudson, speaking for the
Marine Workers Industrial Union,
pointed out that 'Fascism means
war-War upon the workers, war be-
tween imperialist powers, war against
the Soviet Union. And in these war
plans the bosses need the seamen
and longShoren1en to load and trans
port the war materials and NUM-
tons necessary to carry on war.
The Marine Workers Industrial Union
Will mobilize the marine workers to
stop the shipment Of war materials"
Hudson mentioned several cases Of
effective solidarity with German sea
men in American ports by the mil
liant marine workers, forcing the re-
lease Of anti-F7a5cist seanlen arrested
at the order OF Nazi captains and
the German Consuls.
j. B. Mattheys, Socialist and Sec
rotary of the Fellowship of ReconciI-
iation, made a trenchant attack upon
the illusions of bourgeois democracy
prevalent among the intelligentSia.
"Fascism is not q rejuvenated Ma
tionalism, rising from the ashes of
military defeat. Essentially. F'ascism
is Capitalism turned nudiSt. Bour-
geois democracy, is a fig-1eaf to hide
Pthe naked realities of the capitalist
system. But just as soon as revolu-
tionary action is threatened from the
working class the fig-leaf is thrown
aside.
In the struggle against Fascisln,
only united working class, animated
by a revolutionary purpose and led
by revolutionary leaders, is adequate.
The dictatorship Of the proletariat is
the only answer to FaScisml I greet
you, I hail you as the hope of the
workers of the Worldl"
Freeman Tells Of Heroic Struggle
Joseph Freeman, editor of the New
Masses, and Malcolm CoWIey, Of the
editorial board of the New Republic,
described the Fascist attack upon cul-
tlUe in Germany, the bounding and
arrest Of Ciernany's greatest writer's,
artists and scientists for their radial
views. Freeman brought tidings of
the rising heroic and successful strug-
gle of the Communist Farty of Ger

Huge Quantities of Leaflets.
Reports from all over Germany
state that Illegally printed leaflets
are being distributed by the Com
munists in huge quantities Storm
troops are constantly patrolling the
streets of all big cities to prevent this

In LoerTach the entire storm troop

Hitler troops forged the whole cleo
ton returns.
More Votes Than Voters.
The conservative Strasbourg ''Neu-
este Nachrichten," in Alsace, reports
that the whole registered electorate
in Pomerania, for example, totalled
100000 voters-but 100000 voted
according to the Nazi figures! This
means that $4,000 more votes were
cast than all the voters in Pomera-
MIA together, even assuming that
every single Pomeranian went to the
polls!
In East Prussia, a huge province
with q sparsely settled rural popula-
ton, where any election campaign
is extremely difficult because of the
scattered nature of the countryside,
the percentage that voted is 13 per
cent higher than the average for
Germany, although East Prussia al
ways has been at least per cent be-
low the national average in all other
elections.
On March S, however, the Nazis
reported that 98.8 per cent of the
voters in East Prussia went to the
polls. Almost every man jack in East
Prussia is supposed to have voted,
although all political experience
states that the last 10 per cent of
the electorate can never be brought
to the polls.
Likewise, in the Posen-West Prus-
STA Border Province ELECTION Dis
trict 5, Frankfurt on the ODER,
where 1,011,000 out of a total cleo
torate of 100000 are reported to
have cast their votes. Again an al
most 100 per cent vote in an area
that has always Jagged behind the
national average percentage.
These facts, smuggled through the
Hitler censorship, are clear proof that
the majority" attained by the Hit
Ter dictatorship in the March cleo
tons was SWindled The swindle was
even greater in the ensuing municipal
elections in Prussia on March II,
where the vote was corrected" even
more.
NaEis Admit 5,00O,Oe0 Red Votes.
In spite of the outrageous terror
that dominated the election, the
Nazi regime was forced to concede g
total Of 100000 votes cast for the
Communist Party, while the Comr1u-
mist vote in the Prussian elections was
recorded as even higher than the
ReichStag vote. If the Nazt swindler5
admitted 100000 votes cast for the
Communists, what must the true
Communist vote have been?
Kautsly's Betrayal.
In one of the latest Bulletins of
the Second International, Karl Kaut-
sky wrote: "As long as the Dictator
ship has behind it the majority of
the population, all attempts to OPP
pose it with Illegal, street action
must end in defeat"
In view Of the election forgeries
disclosed above, this semi official
Socialist statement becomes little
more than outright betrayal of the
German proletariat by the self-styled
working class party" the German
Social Democracy.
The great majority Of the German
people did not vote for the Nazi
regime. The Iron Heel OF Fascism
cannot stop the underground illegal
activity OF the working class, which,
under the lead OF the Communist
Party, is continuing the struggle fcc
