Writes History of Rise
to Power of
Hitler

Under the title From the Kali
Y serhof to the Office of the Chan
cellor," chief Nazi poison propa-
gandist Goebbels has published his
diary notes from January, 1882, to
April, 1894. These notes show many
symptoms of later formulation, and
are in no way an objective presenta-
ton of this period. GoebbelS points
out himself that they do not pre-
tend to be that. The truth has been
co-ordinated to the present day re-
quirements of the Nazis. In spite
of this, the book is an important
document for the history of the
struggle between revolution and
counter-revolution in Germany. The
book is of special value for the So
cial-democratic workers and for all
those who were openly hostile to or
without understanding of the policy
of the Communist Party during
those years.
Goebbels presents a plenitude OF
details from the great struggle be-
tween Fascism and Communism. It
is clear from the picture of these
fights how only the policy of the
Socialist leaders opened the road to
the rise of fascism and it's taking
of power. In relating these events
Goebbels underlines again and again
that without the ocial-democracy
the national-socialists would never
have come to power-that, ii the
Communists had succeeded in real
izing the united front of the work.
ing class, not fascism, but Commu-
nism would have been the victor
Especially in the reports of the de-
cisive weeks of June, 1882, there is
clearly expressed the fear of the
great revolutionary, anti-fascist
movement.
When reading Goebbels reports of
his journeys through the Ruhr dis
trict, through Westphalia and Thu
ringia, the struggles which were

"Quiet" in sarajevO

CARAJEVO, Yugoslavia, on Juns
y 18th, where 20 years ago the
assassination of the Archduke Fran
els Ferdinand and his wife, was the
signal for the unleashing of the
last imperialist world war, was
quiet on the twentieth anniversary,

talist papers in New York.
That quiet" however, does not
pervade the capitalist world. Hun
dreds of new Sarajevos are boiling
over. All of the imperialist bandits
are plunging to new slaughter
that will make the last appear as a
dress rehearsal. Today every inn
perialist contradiction is at fever
heat On the anniversary of Sar-
ajevo, the British announced they
would double their air force. The
day after, Roosevelt concluded his
radio broadcast with the declaration
that the American soldiers were
fighting For gods country" with
the definite implication that they
would soon be called on again to
spill their blood for Morgan, the
god Roosevelt had in mind. Jap
aneSe, British and American naval
experts are meeting in secret,
jockeying for leading position in
naval arms. German fascism, with
the support of Britain, has armed
for war, and in the threatening
catastrophe of fascism, they are
plunging to war against the Soviet
Union. Mussolini has openly de-
clared that the world must have
new bloodbath.

lower ranks, too much duty, silly
scolding or stupid shouting in the

than before, hunting for positions,

The lower leaders of the S. A. give
a picture of the true situation:
Our storm consists of ITS men,
but only 100 are in the rank and
file. The others have excuses, pre-
sent medical certificates or slips for
overtime. Thirty per cent at the ut
most are convinced Nazis. Great
dissatisfaction about the continuous
collections of money, the low wages
and the deportation to the country
as farm hands. The population is
not favorable to us, being still COM
munistlcally inclined"
1.-TWO storm troopers" reports an
other, brought 'Rote Fahne' to
the meeting place of the storm,
which they had received by mail.
The paper went from hand to hand,
and the contents were eagerly dis
cussed. Some expressed tn e r
opinion by saying: In many things,
the Communists are right An
other one demanded that the paper
be given to the lower leader of the
storm
A third one writes:
ut is possible that very rapidly,

revolt. AS soon as the workers of
one or more big factories take &C

the working conditions, that might
happen very quickly. Will the Com

HitlerFails to
End Rift In
Nazi Groups
Bloody Conflicts Loom
AS Top Leaders
Sharpen Attacks


BERLIN, June 29.-HitIer's eff
forts to stem the growing rift
between the Steel Helmet, mon
archiSt veterans organization, and
the Nazi Storm Troops is failing.
A tense situation was created to-
day by statements of leaders of
the Storm Troops that the Steel
Helmets must be dissolved. The
situation is such now that a series
Of bloody clashes are imminent
between these two armed groups
which united to bring Fascism
into power.
All leaves OF absence for the
Prussian police force were cam
celled today in view of the grow
ing tension and the fear Of serious
outbreaks.
The sharpening of all conflicts
between German Fascism and
other imperialist powers was shown
by the reaction of the Nazis to
Secretary of State Cordell Hull's
note protesting against the mora
forum on payments of foreign
debts. Rudolph Hess, minister
without portfolio in the fascist
Cabinet, closest advisor of Hitler,
threatened campaign of dump
ing of German goods on the world
markets in retaliation for any
measures that may be taken by
Britain or the U. S. against the
moratorium.
While the rift in the lower ranks
Of both the Steel Helmets and the
Storm Troopers intensifies to the
point of open armed clashes, Vice
Chancellor Won Papen and General
Won Blomberg both issued state
ments attempting to create the
impression that harmony exists in
the ruling camp of the fascists.
Won Papen called for full conf
dence in Hitler.
General Won Blomberg declared,
1.-THE military attitude has preme-
ated the whole nation and its
leadership. Pacifsm has been van
pushed. The military power of
the state has become one" He
added that the army was standing
behind President Won Hindenburg
and Hitler, who came from our
ranks and will always remain one
of US"
Evidence of the Nszis rapid
preparation for war in the present
difficult situation was shown by
the prominent announcement in
the official Nazi Voelkischer Beo-
bachter that Hitler yesterday Wis
tied the huge Krupp munition
works at Essen. Heretofore facts
of this nature were kept secret.

than "the government for the prep
aration of the fascist dictatorship.
The leaders of the social democracy
stormed against this, backed up
Bruening, labelling his as "the last
bulwark" against the fascist dicta-
torship. Goebbels relates the init
mate collaboration of Bruening and
Hitler, the working together which
was already very close in 1882. And
no other than General Schleicher,
the social general" of the Social
Democratic Party in Germany, was
already in 1882 the go-between of
Hitler, the spy of the Nazi who in
formed them about all plans, de-
liberated with them and took orders
from Hitler. Goebbels' book clar-
flies the part played by Schleicher.
Schleicher was man indulging IN
feverish activity to clear the road
for fascism. The decisive question

Advice to Fascists

PUT 20 years after, Sarajevo sees
y the world proletariat intensity
ing its struggle against imperialist
war, and the war makers. The Sow
let Union has become a mighty
force for peace, throwing powerful
obstacles in the path of the imper-
ialist powers in their drive to war.
This is the period of a new round
of wars and revolutions, revolu-
lions and wars. Twenty years after
Sarajevo, world capitalism is in the
throes of the worst crisis in its his
tory which it is seeking to solve by
new criminal imperialist war, but
at the same time the struggle Of
the working masses against CAPT.
talism and its drive to fascism and
war is rising to tremendous heights.
The Socialist betrayers who drove
the toiling masses into the last
world war have led the workers into
the bloody hands of fascism as in
Germany and Austria, making IL
more difficult for them to serve
their inperialist masters In the
present war maneuvers.
THE perspective % years after
L Sarajevo is brilliantly described
by Karl Radek, writing in "Izvestia,
official organ of the Soviet govern
ment:
"But this game (of drive to-
wards an imperialiSt war; will
have more disastrous end for
them than the game they played
before the last world war" he
writes. 'Tf the masters of fascist
black magic do succeed in bring
ing about war, it will be world
war in which the imperialist
powers will smash their own
strength, already weakened by the
developments of recent years.
"And if the first world war
ended with the establishment OF
the first Republic Of Soviets, then
new world war will inevitably
lead to the victory of the prole-
tariat in many more lands.
"Let the gentlemen in the war
offices and in the chancellories
and in the banks try not to repeat
the deed of Sarajevo, for this time
the bomb will explode right in
their own hands"
