alton has become critical
To-day Germany has made a
plunge into the unknown said the
Beclinger Tageblatt and the Koeh-
nische zeitung on the day Hitler
came to power.
FORCED INTO
DESPERATE MOVE
The German bourgeoisie has de-
cided to make this plunge into the
unknown because it was unable to
cope with the colossal difficulties Of
retaining its domination. The un-
willingness of the masses further to
be stepped into poverty and to die
OF starvation without protest, the in
utopian tendency to a self-sufficient
economy, its sharp turn towards a
preferential support of the large
landlords, already have begun to
arouse against it ever larger strata
Of the bourgeoisie.
The civil war which the Fascist
storm troops have started against the
toiling masses is as little capable of
strengthening German capitalism as
the war of Japan against China is
capable of strengthening Japanese
capitalism.
ALTERNATIVE
GROWS CLEARER
Germany ana Japan have made a
plunge into the unknown. The CAPT
talist system is faced with the per-
speu.iye of life and death struggle.
This is why the bourgeoiSie Of all
countries turns more and more to
the methods of terror against the
broadcast strata of the toilers, who
are increasingly faced, not by the
alternative of a bourgeois democ-
racy versus fascisn, but of dictator
ship of the bollrgeoisie versus the
dictatorship of the proletariat.
TREACHERY OF
SOCIAL DEMOCRACY
During the entire postwar period
Social Democracy lulled the proleta-
rian masses to sleep by the fairy-tale
OF a democratic road to socialism
without revolution, without sacri-
fees, without privations." Preacher
ously it disarned the proletariar
masses that followed it, subjugating
them to the interests of the bour-
geois state.
The crisis destroys forever that
structure of social democratic decep-
ton of the masses, SO laboriously
built up. The growth of the revolt

Letters from Our Readers
A LETTER FROM
AN IRISH WORKER

The following letter from Ireland,
from the brother of James Grafton,
whom the De Valera government is
trying to deport to the United States
because of his working class activity
against the bosses, the landlords and
the Priesthood, is Of particular in
terest to American workers, and to
the 1rish-American workers whom
the De Valera agents in this country
try TO dupe into support of the De
Valera bloodhounds Of imperialism:
"Effrinagh, Kilclare P. O.,

Dear Comrade.
James got his deportation order
on last Tuesday, 14th. It was served
on him the day after his father was
buried. The clergy were waiting for
chat and the De Valera government
which is controlled by the clergy had
to obey its orders. There were pro-
test meetings held in Dublin, Bel
fast and many other places againt
his deportation.
AS result Of these meetings the
police and C. I. D. came to arrest
him on last Tuesday morning about
three O'Clock. They read the warrant
for his arrest 50 James went up
stairs to dress and the thugs re-
manned in the kitchen under the So
lid belief that he was dressing but
when he was too long without, COM
ing down one Of them went upstairs
to see what was keeping him. But

had escaped through the window, SC

SOVIET TEXTILE WORKERS
ON SEVEN DAY.

Soviet textile workers, on the other
hand, have steadily improved their
conditions year by year during the
past fifteen years.
Before the revolution day OF ten
or more hours was common in Rus
sian textile mills. Today nearly all
textile workers work only seven hours,
and those in the more dangerous and
unhealthy departments work only
six hours a day.
Wages for textile workers increased
by $12,500,000 during the last three
months of 1882, and about s8,250,0OO
Of this increase went to raise the
wages of workers in cotton mills
Average weekly wages are many times
the amounts earned before the revo-
luton.
But money wages are only part OF
the Soviet textile workers income
Women as well as men have all the
advantages of a complete system Of
social insurance, covering free medical
aid and free medicine, plus payments
during illness, pregnancy, childbirth,
old age and other disabilities.
Soviet textile workers are now
combined in three unions-one in
cludes cotton workers, another the
wool, hosiery and silk workers, and
the third the workers on flax, jute
and hemp. Almost every textile
worker is in the union.
And there is no unemployment in
the workers republic.

ONLY FORCE TO
DECIDE POWER

Out of parliamentary democracy,
not socialism but faScism has grown.
The National Socialists and the Ma
tionalistS in Germany declare openly
that the elections of March are
to be the last elections and that no
matter what the outcome is the
Reichstag must disappear as a legis-
lative institution from the histor-
ical arena. The question of power
is being decided not by the Reich
stag, but by means Of force, and
force only.
The end of the Weimar democ-
racy, the end of parliamentar SIN
has a significance reaching far be-
yond the limits of Germany. II
shows to new millions of workers the
object lesson of the bankruptcy OF
all Social-Democratic theories and
the correctness of Marx and Lenin
the correctness of the Bolsheviks, the
correctness of the Communist Inter-
national.
Social Democracy is insolubly
bound up with the bourgeois state
irrespective of the form which the
dictatorship Of the bourgeoisie as
Sumes in 1t. This it has proven moi
only in the so-called democratic
countries, but also in Poland, Rou-
mania, Bulgaria, Jugo-Slavia, Hun
gary and Spain. There is no crime
against the working class which has
not been supported by Social-Dem-
ocracy.
Fascism in Germany, the war In
the Far East against China, these
indicators of the further sharpening
Of the crisis Of capitalism, are put
ting into motion the broadcast masses
of toilerS in all countries. The
masses wish to fight against faScisn
and sspe yar--this they are proving
in thousands of acts In every coun-
try. They see that this struggle !!
not yet sufficiently successful, onl,
because the working class is split
This is why there grows among the
working masses powerful tendenc,
towards unity for struggle.
WORKERS UNITE
IN COMMON ACTIONS
This tendency expresses itself il
the uniting of ever greater masses
under the leadership of the Com
rnunists; it expresses itself i'll many
strikes in France, Czecho-S loyakia
Germany, England, Belgium, etc; j
expresses itself in the common &C

munists to conclude "non-aggres-
sion pact" to conduct direct nego-
tiations between the two Information
ais concerning united front from
above in order thus to gain time and
to detract the masses from the real
urgent struggle against fascixn end
the war, against the looting of their
wages and against further inroads
upon social insurance.
The split Of the labor movement
came as consequence of Social
Democracy joining the camp of the
bourgeoisie. For this reason it is
only around the Communist Party.
the only revolutionary party of the
proletariat, that this unity can be
restored.
BAND1TRY AGAINST
HEROISM
Political banditisrn elevated into q
system; continuous and ever more
frequent firing upon the workers
fighting for their daily bread--on
the one hand; courage, firinness and
growing solidarity and readiness to
bring sacrifices; an accelerated tran
sition from economic demands to
political slogans of struggle, on the
other hand-such is the picture OF
the class struggle today.
New forces are being drawn into
the revolution every day. In Spain
the peasants seize the land, "bolshe-
vik fashion; there Is an agrarian
revolution in progress there.
In Poland, striking workers seize
factories for the duration of the
strike.
In Germany, to fight Sascisn
which has made a "jump into the
unknown" ever wider me.ecs are
rising and their resistance to Fascisn
is becoming ever more powerful.

their powers, but everywhere the

Says Bill Viii
Lnjure Teachers

Teachers of the state will be con-
siderably affected if the bill pro-
posed by Senator Bush is passed,
according to reports received by the
county superintendent of schools
office. The bill is aimed at the re-
tirement fund.
The state up to the present time
has carried the teachers retirement
fund, five per cent of the inheri-
tance tax being supplied as the
states contribution to the fund.
Upon promise by the state to make
this contribution, teachers have
contributed a percentage of their
salaries each year to the fund to
provide for their old age.
Bush proposes that the state
abandon this contribution which
means that in order to protect
those who have already retired and
have counted on the retirement
fund, teachers in active service
must contribute heavily to the fund
which will work hardship since in
many instances they have received
salary cuts.

BASEBALL COMING UP

A ANNOUNCEMENT that the Ell Centre
n Night Baseball league will soon re-
sumo activities, will be welcome news to
many Ell Centre residents, who in past
years have thoroughly enjoyed the games
staged here by the league
That the games are extremely popular
Is proved by the large crowds which
packed Wilson field at practically every
contest last year
The fact that there is no admission
charge, except on occasions when out of
town teams are brought in here and their
expenses must be met, is not the only
reason for the popularity of the games.
1t must be acknowledged that the friend
ly rivalry between the various teams in
the league, the interest of the great mass
of people in wholesome recreation and
the high plane on which the games are
conducted are much more than contribut-
ing factors for the leagues popularity.
Those responsible for the league can
justly feel that they are doing splendid
civic work in providing excellent enter
tainment for the people of Ell Centro
The people appreciate it or there wouldn't
be corporal's guard at any of the
games.
Batter up, will be a welcome cry as
soon as it comes.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S WATER
TRICK

Uncle Wiggily and Mr. Twisty-
tail, the fat pig gentleman, were
just getting ready to start teaching
the animal pupils in the Hollow
Stump School how to play music
with whistles on their tails when,
as I told you in the story last
night, something happened.
What happened was that the
Lady Mouse Teacher, all of a sud-
den, held up one little paw and
said:
"Stop!"
"Oh!" exclaimed Uncle Wiggily
who was just going to explain to
the animal boys and girls that the
first thing they must do would be
to each get a whistle for their
tails. And again Uncle Wiggily
said: "Oh!" for he was very much
surprised to hear Miss Mouse call
out to stop.

to Uncle Wiggily. He and Miss

Gle Wiggily, standing on the plat

whistles. do as we do, my dears,
said the rabbit gentleman. He and
Mr.. Twistytail started to play q
simple, easy tune called STARS Only

pills twirled or waggled their tails
and they had started to make a
little music when, all of sudden
Custer called:
"All ready, fellowsl Squirt!' With
that those mischievous little rabbit
boys pulled out the rubber balls
filled with water and began tc
squirt at Uncle Wiggily and Mr.
Twistytail
"Oh! OH Oh, this is terrible!
squeaked Miss Mouse as some water
got in her eye and some sprayed
into the whistle on the pigs tai
so that it warbled like canary
bird. And then Uncle Wiggily felt
some water spray on his back and
turning quickly, he saw what his
rabbit boys were doing AS quick
as a wink, Uncle Wiggily jumped
down off the platform, ran to ev-
cry little rabbit, took away his rub
ber fall and squirted all the water
out of the window until there
wasn't drop left.
Nov we shall go on with the
music lesson" said Mr.. Longear'
slow and dignified like as he fin
ished this water trick. And wher

WASHINGTIN, April Z. - Vice
President Garner, after occasional
attempts to crack the whip over
the senate as he had been ac-
customed to do with the house
when speaker there, is slowing
down to the deliberate pace which
is part of senate tradition.
But he still clings to his habit OF
getting to work at 7:30 a. m, and
going to bed early each night Gar
ner probably has refused more So
cial invitations in month than
predecessors in year. On one day
this week he turned down eight OF
them
Mrs. Garner, who was his secre-
tary during his years in congress
and even while he was speaker, &C
companies him occasionally to the
office but is not as active as when
he held his other positions. One
reason is that there is little for her
to do. Garner himself can concen-
trate pretty well on reading the pa

ings on division votes have been
questioned. Yesterday, before pas
sage of the Black short work week
bill, he declared an amendment de-
feated after it appeared to have
been approved.
Many had expected that Garner
would continue to dominate the
house after moving over to the
other side of the capitol. Defeat of
the McDuffie faction which Gar
ner had supported in the speaker
ship fight stopped this and Garner
rarely goes to the house. His ffiends
drop over for a mid-afternoon chat
in the Vice Presidents office and
he keeps his relationships in that
manner
