fascism, when it stopped to serve faS-
cism. The Communist Party is strong
and uncomfortable, because it has
never retreated, because it is not re-
treating from its revolutionary battle
lines, because it did not surrender
and will not surrender to the enemies
of the proletariat and their bloody
agent, faScism. 1t holds the flag OF
implacable struggle against fascism
ever in its hands and always will.
This also explains the fact that the
G. P. G. has none of the moral illness
and political faintness that is now
devouring social democracy. This
explains, furthermore, why the CP.G.
enjoys moral authority such as 1t
has never enjoyed before amongst the
millions Of masses of the proletarians
of Germany who are not prepared to
yield to bloody fascisn.
That is why believe that the pres
ent position of the German bourge-
oisie is not at all consolidated, that
the proletarian revolution in Germany
must be victorious, that fascism in
Germany must be vanquished, and
will be vanquished.
Only fools can believe that the
bourgeoisie could establish a stable
hegemony over the peasantry and the
urban petty bourgeoisie under the
conditions of the present crisis over
a period of years. Critical periods
similar to the present period in Ger
many have been signalized precisely
by the fact that days and weeks re-
place years and centuries of ordinary
times. Who would dare to maintain
that a period of economic boom has
arrived in Germany, and that the
bourgeoisie will succeed in solving
the internal and external conflicts of
Germany capitalism?
Fascism-German and Italian

wave. Italian fascism was that of
country that had been victorious
in the world war it was participant
in and active supporter of the Yer
sailles system; German fascism is the
passive object of that system, and at
the very first steps of it's existence
is encountering growing international
difficulties. Italian fascism came to
power at moment when the Treaty
Of Versailles had settled the stability
of international relations for a num-
Der of years. German fascism had
seized power at moment when

Italy appears to have broken with
Nazi Germany over the Austrian
issue, Mussolipi having rejected Goe-

Austro-German customs union, As
a result Italy joins France and Great
Britain in rejecting Germany's in

The Italo-German clash was fur

The gravity of the international

The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-05
Why Ask More?

Waterbury's tax rate for 1884 will be one-uuarter of mill less than that pre- yailing this year. This is the public an nouncement from the City Hall after the Board of Finance, the Mayor, the Control Ter, and other interested officials have gone over the citys fiscal affairs from every angle. It may not be the news that many people, particularly large real es- tate owners, were looking for, but under the circumstances it is more than actual ly could be expected at this time. Our tax rate will be 3225 mills in 1884. It was 3250 in 1883. Many people will ar que both are too high. Let them pay off our bills in some other fashion, though, if they can.
 Accompanying the announcement of the slight tax reduction is the staggering news that our grand list will drop $6,- OO0,000. This is totally unprecedented. We know that no such decrease was ever experienced before by this city. We doubt if many cities the size of Waterbury have had their grand list drop that much in single year. A million dollar drop was predicted for Waterbury some days ago in view of prevailing circumstances, but nobody had any notion of anything like $6,00O,O00. To effect tax decrease in company with this is only done by careful planning and close figuring. We congrat- ulate our officials on the accomplishment.
 And that isn't all the interesting items that came our way in the past "A hours. We were informed that with the first of January there would be restoration of part of the voluntary pay cut that all city officials took. All men and women em- ployed by the city in any capacity will have their pay raised per cent after January 1. This is good news for those directly concerned and also for the rest of us in the city. We all profit by wage increases since it means the circulation of more actual cash in the city in the coming months. It is a lack of cold cash that prevents the successful transaction of business. in the absence of credit.
 If critics of our civic government, par ticularly the democratic administrations, want further proof of the intention to do Ell that is possible for Waterbury then we seSer them to the expansion of the safety margin between expenses and receipts It was only per cent this year.

No Upright Drinking?

The title of this article may be bit misleading, but explanations are forth coming. With repeal of the 18th amend ment now attained new liquor laws gov ern the several states that have provided for this day. Those that were not so for tunate must wait for their respective legislative bodies to take action. Speak ing for Connecticut we can merely hope that the year and some odd months inter- yening between now and the next session of our General Assembly will not prove that our statutes were wrongly conceived. That changes will be demanded, we feel sure. That they will be granted, we wonder.
 Perhaps the strictest enforcement we have is the one which prohibits the sale of mixed drinks, such as highballs and cocktails in the spots where one would like to get them. Private clubs, of bona-flde nature, and the homes will be the only place where a person may secure them henceforth It is this provision of our state control act that provokes so much controversy to-day. It is blow at long, established restaurants and hotels. They may merely sell wines and beers, which places them just in the same class as tavern.
 Drinking at bars is limited to beer, so we we'll may claim that the end of upright drinking in this state is at hand. But is it? We notice that the Retail Beer, Wine and Liquor Merchants association of the state claims that the 'speak-easy will be even more in evidence after to-day than it was in the last few years. People will want to secure hlghball, cocktail or liquor without having to go to the trouble of mixing or getting them them selves. And the speak-easy will be the only place where such can be procured. This may be true. It all depends upon the enforcement of our state laws. The control board says it has nothing to do with enforcing the laws. That's up to the state and local police At any rate we're willing to believe that 4,OOO new speakeasies may be soon in our midst.
 While nobody cares to subscribe to the belief that the old fashioned saloon should be returned, there is a general feeling that certain establishments should be al- lowed to maintain bars at which upright and table drinking would be permissible. And by drinking we here mean more than wines and beers We mean highballs, cocktails, etc. We are going to demand them despite the efforts of all the experts to lead us into other ways of imbibing. You'll find the Legislature considering this problem very seriously in 1855, If It isn't obliged to convene in special session before that time If the state finds itself losing much revenue through illicit sales of liquor it'll act quickly to cover up any mistakes in judgment made in framing the control act

Free Debate Is Solution

The heated discussion that has arisen over the administrations gold policy is most encouraging sign to all lovers of freedom of speech and of the press. Whatever ones opinions in the matter, it cannot be denied that the opposition is getting it's full share of the debate. But even more satisfying than this is the feel ing that such open discussion of the country's most conflicting problem is certain to bring about saner and more effective solution than would considera- tion of the difficulty from one side alone. Both the sound money advocates and the so-called inflationists have strong reasons to stand their ground. Each has rallied to its side the arguments of professors of economies and other ex- perts to prove it is right. And each has no ulterior motive back of it's assertions other than the belief that it's way out Of the present depression is the best.
 Difference between the sound money men and the inflationists lies in the difference between a strict adherence to the econ- omic phase of the gold problem and consideration of it's political signifi- canoe as well. For there is no doubt that politics, ill the broader, humanitarian sense, has much to do with this matter. While Wall Street looks upon the subject from a cold, matter of fact, dollars and cents viewpoint, President Roosevelt is forced to consider it not only in that light, but from the angle of the butcher, the ba- ker and the candlestick maker.
 This is the politics of the whole matter. And this complicates the problem much more for the president than it does for the eastern financiers and economists. Perhaps, if the sound money men had not risen up in their might and raised the howl they have, the administration might have overlooked the more conservative phase of the discussion.
 Perhaps, if Al Smith and Bernard Baruch and other sincere antagonists of the presidents policy had approved blind ly of his every move, we might have found ourselves sailing fast toward actual infla- tion and it's accompanying dangers. So it is much better, then, that a voice has been raised against the governments gold policy, if only to keep those in control from running amuck.
