Form ManyCo
for Anti-Fascist Week

NEW YORK.-Nation-w wide prepar-
ations for the National Week of pro-
test, defense, and relief, in support OF
the victims of German Fascisnl, Au-
gust Z to IA, are being made, and local
committees have been set up ia many
cities, with others rapidly being
formed. This was the announcement
today of the National Committee to
Aid Victims of German Fascian, with
headquarters at rs Fifth Avenue, New
York, which issued the call.
The committee is headed by A. J.
Music, and has on its national board
DR.. Harry A. Warwick, Alfred Wagon
knecht and j. B. Matthews. It is the
American section of an international
committee, headed by Lord Marley, Of
london, England, and Professor Fran
els Jourdain, of Paris.
The week of August to IA is to be
the elimination of an intensive drive,
beginning at once, to raise funds for
relief of victims of Fascism. The drive
will be combined with mass meetings
of protest and a nationwide cam
paign against Fascism in all forms.

tellectuals in the Party's ranks. To
bs more exact, our Party was pass
ing through the "yanakovism" and
"fukumotoism" periods But thanks
to the pressure brought to bear in
side by the working class, and thanks
to the guidance of the Communist
International, these mistakes were
quickly corrected. From that mo-
ment and to the present day, the his
tory of our Party has borne the stamp
of revolutionary tradition. Our Com
munist Party has always stood at the
head of the working class, even when
it had a membership of not more
than 100; it has always main
tanned and still maintains an indis-
soluble link with the working class.
1t is difficult to estimate to the full
the enormous role which the I'M
swerving direct leadership of the
Communist International and the
close link with fraternal parties in
China, Korea and Formosa, have
our party. If we look ten years ahead
into the future, we can say with con-
fidence that in Germany, where a
revolutionary crisis is ripening today,
there will be a Soviet Government,
and its influence on Western Europe
will be immeasurably great In the
East, through the heroic, revolution
airy movement of the Chinese masses,
a Soviet Government will be estab-
ished over vast territories; from which
all the imperialist oppressors will be
banished once and for all. In India
victorious revolution will free the
country from the chains OF British
imperialism. And, finally, the Soviet
Government will also be established
in Japan.
Today in Japan all the premises for
a revolutionary crisis are growing.
Side by side with the cruel economic
crisis there has already begun coun-
ter-attack of workers and peasant
masses. However there can be no
victorious revolution without strong
Communist Party There have been
examples in the past of effectively
favorable revolutionary situations
which did not, however, bring in their
train victorious revolutions. In West
ern Europe in 1848 and in Tsarist
Russia in 1860-70, there were revolu-
tionary crises, but the revolutionary
movement of the day was unsuccess-
full, because of one subjective fact
there was no strong Communist Party.
Our main tasks today are the fol-
lowing
To overthrow the monarchy.
To destroy the private ownership
of the land by parasitical landlords.
The seven-hour working day and
radical Improvements in the living
conditions Of the working class.
Our task is to overthrow the mill
tary-p police monarchy and convert the
imperlalist war that is taking place
into civil war. Our revolution is

Haiku Sano Exposes Terror in Japanese Prisons Inmates
Work Ii Hours Day, Prohibited to Read Literature

Speech Of Comrade Haiku Sano
in the Toxic Court on July IA,
1882, on behalf of 1874 other
accused" Communists. Comrade

ment.-Editor.)
Nv.
Comrade Kokurio will make refer
ence later to the false evidence in the
Court last year. I dwell briefly on
certain points. Your court is class
court. This has been absolutely clear
from the beginning of the trial. The
class court is a weapon in the hands
of the reactionary bourgeois Landlord
classes, by means of which these
classes try to legalize their position
as exploiters and bloodsuckers.
Bourgeois upholders of the law de-
clare that all are equal before the
law. But in society where one class
exploits the other, there exists only
formal, and not true, equality. And
it would be self-deceit to assert that
actual equality really exists. The diff
ference between the lives Of the rich
and those Of the poor is too great.
And the law cannot, to the slightest
degree, either augment or mitigate
this difference. Consequently the
court cannot destroy this existing So
ciA inequality.
The court declared that it had put
the Communist Party In the dock.
But the Communist Party cannot be
put on trial. The Communist Party
is an enormous worldwide organiza-
ton. 1t exists in over sixty coun-
tries OF the world; and in Japan It is
steadily increasing all the time. In
reply to our assertion that the Court
is not an institution standing over
and above classes, Chyiodayo (tl1e
court Of the Mikado) and represen-
tative Of the court, not only during
this trial. but also in the course of
examining other cases against Com
munists, is making use of new tao
tics. Tt is now behaving towards us
as though we were ordinary GRIMM
ais. This Is an expression OF the re-
venge which the bourgeoisie feels to-
wards the working class. Judge Ogo-
nuk has made use Of q new term
"incorrigible criminals" II the word
criminal can be used towards a
Communist, then at any rate it would
have been more suitable to use the
expression political criminals" The
attempt to introduce this new term
"incorrigible criminals" an express
sion Of the desperate effort being
made on the part Of the ruling
classes to reduce the Communists to
the level Of ordinary criminals.
The Japanese prisons are weapons
Of terror; l3-hour working day; it is
prohibited to read books Except re-
dictionary and religious literature I;
heavy punishments, etc. 1t is quite
possible that in consequence Of long

Fascist Chief Promises
Hanging for Reds

BERLIN, July 18.-The Nazi de-
termination to put the arrested lead
ers of the German Communist Party
to death is emphasized by a speech
of DR.. Pfundtner, Secretary Of State
of the Prussian Ministry Of the In
terror, made at the Administration
Academy in Berlin 1t makes all the
more imperative the greatest inter-
national mass pressure for the release
of Comrades T'haelmann, Torgler, Di-
mitroff, Popoff and Taneff.
Dr. Pfundtner said: Before the 5th
of March, the state government had
taken its measures against the Com
munist Party of Germany and against
Marxism. 1t may be assumed that,
on the basis of these measures, the
participants in the burning of the
Reichstag will shortly be sentenced to
death by hanging"
The capitalist press of other coun-
tries has completely confirmed the
declaration of the Communist Party
of Germany that the Reichstag fire
was set by the Nazis, under the direc-
ton of Herman Wilhelm Goering,
Minister of the Interior.

OFFICIALLY BAR
WAR DEBT TALK
AT WORLD MEET
U. S. Uses Debts to
Forward Wall Street
Bandit Policy

LONDON, July Ex-senator James
Couzins Of Michigan, one of the
United States delegates to the world
economic conference, obtained re-
vision of the draft resolution on in
debtedness to exclude the discussion
of war debts, This took place in the
drafting committee.
Such action only officially approves
the course followed by the confer
ence on this question since Roose-
welt definitely stated at the begin
ming that war debts would, under
no circumstances be considered as
a point of discussion.
Use Debts for Biiateral Agreements.
Although it has for a year and a
half been a recognized fact that the
war debts owing the United States
never can be paid, still the Wall St.
government refuses to cancel them
because they are useful in helping
to forward it's inperialist intrigues
The debts owed by the smaller coun-
tries are used to try to obtain secret
bilateral trade and other agreements
that coincide with the increased ag-
gressiveness of yankee imperialism
With the larger powers they are
used to try to induce its potential
military rivals to cut down their
armed forces. Thus their open dis

Adjourn.
AS far as the conference itself is
concerned it is as dead as a door
nail. Official adjournment will not
take place, however, until the date
set, which is July 81. The reason
for this is because the British parlia-
ment is still in session and Mac
Donald has lined up sufficient sup
port among the delegations of other
countries to avoid adjournment of
the world economic conference until
parliament recesses. There are
many embarrassing questions await
ing Macdonald from the floor of
parliament as to the causes OF the
failure of the conference, which he
said would start the world on the
road to economic recovery, which
he hopes to evade. Like the states
men of all other capitalist countries
Macdonald faces complete failure
as far as overcoming any OF the eff
fects of the crisis at home and now
he faces major failure on the field

Conrade Editor:
We welcome this open letter to the
Party. 1t is a good answer to the
many who were panied: why can't
our Party rise TO the level of the
German Party, not to say Of the
Party Of the Soviet Union?" Let us
greet it as the first real step to the
creation q a real mass Bolshevik
Party in the Urited States.
Our Party membership must under
stand-no more avoiding Of difficult
ties. We must surmount all difficult
ties. Get into these big shops, where
workers work at 100 per cent speed-up

60 per cent. Carry on in these shops

are now backward in their political

AT the trial, during a pretended
're-enacting' of the Reichstag fire
(Which was actually set under the
directions of Goering), a great mass
demonstration assisted by Storm

invade the Reichstag and murder the
