Socialists In
Alliance Bid
To Fascists
Order Members to DrOu
Fight On Austrian
Fascist Regime

VIENNA, Feb. LIN a speech m
the Lower Austrian Diet yesterday,
the Socialist leader and deputy,
Schneidmadl, declared that the fas.
cist Dollfuss regime was threatened
with overthrowal and offered the SER
vices Of the Austrian Socialist Party
to save the regime, which recently
ordered the suppression of all work
ing class organizations.
Under the familiar pretext Of the
"lesser evil' by which the German
Socialist leaders supported Hindens
burg and paved the way for the
bloody Nazi dictatorship, Schneid-
madl offered the Austrian fascist
dictatorship an alliance with the
Socialist Party. He revealed that
the Socialist leaders had already in.
structed the Socialist rank and file
members-who are increasingly joins
ing the united anti-fascist front set
up by the Illegal Communist Party
that they discontinue their struggles
against the Dollfuss regime.
He stated:
Yesterday we issued orders 10
all our organizations to drop all
political quarreIs with the govern
ment should Nazi putsch begin
and fight side by side with the
democratic members of the govern
ment party. Afterward, however.
we will fight the Heimwehr Fas-
cists and their putsch plans"
This is almost the identical lans
guage used by the German Socialist
leaders in January, 1888, in rejecting
the offer of the German Communist
Party for a united struggle against
the fascist reaction. 1t is repetition
of the lesser eviI' theory, with the
"choice" this time openly between
two factions Of the same fascist
camp!
In the face of the bloodiest attacks
on the working class by the Dollfuss
regime, and its attempts to split the
peasants away from the town prole-
tariat, Scllneidmadl declares In the
name of the Austrian Socialist lead
ership.
Our Socialist workers are eager
to replace the Heimwehr mercen-
aries and as soldiers Of the anti
Nazi army fight for Austrian lib
erty side by side with those demo-
crat;callv minded members Of
Chancellor DolIfusS' clerical party
who are still to be found, especially
among the peasants"
This chauvinist Indictment for the
unleashing of new world war by
utilizing the increasing tension be-
tween Germany and Austria, backed
by italian and French imperialistS,
was also apparent in the coments Of
the Socialist press on the struggle
between the followers of Hitler and
DollfusS for supremacy in the fascist
Austrian state apparatus.
Schneidn1adl warned Dollfuss thas
his support In the Heimwehr was
crumbling, that his allies among thu
Heimwehr leaders were tunbling over
one another to make their peacs
with the Nazis. ~

seemingly endless applause of the
Soviet Union came to an end today.
1t was long time before the
delegates finally permitted Stain to
say:
THE discussion here, Comrades,
has revealed complete unity of
views on all questions Of Party
policy. The discussion has raised
no objections to the report of the
activities of the Central Committee.
The speeches of the Congress show
the full theological, political, and
organiZational unity In the Party
ranks. Is concluding speech,
therefore, necessary? 1 think il is
unnecessary. Allow me, therefore,
to dispense with the concluding
speech"
This was greeted with a storm of
Undesirable enthusiasm, which
roared through the hall with the
sound Of such enormous jubilation,
and pride of victory as has rarely
ever been witnessed in the history
Of any party.
Then, the world battle song of the
revolution, the "Internationale" burst
forth from the thousand delegates
present.

'L'Humanite'' Doubles

Losing Prestige

PARIS, Feb. The new Daladier
Cabinet is delaying its appearance
before the Chamber of Deputies until
next Tuesday to gain time for its
attempt TO stem the furious mass in
dignation evoked by the StavisIy
scandal.
Premier Daladier today set about
launching the much-promiSed, long
delayed investigation" of the loot
ing Of the Credit Municipal Bayonne
by Serge StaviSky and his govern
ment accomplices, resulting in the
fleeing Of small investors and in

past two weeks, rejecting its increas-
ing authority among the masses.
Workers Continue Protest Actions
Mass demonstrations continued in
Paris and other centers today, under
leadership of the Communist Party.
The strike Of Paris chauffeurs and
taxi drivers is proceeding 100 per
cent strong, despite police attacks
and arrests.
Cabinet Likely to Fall
The opinion is gaining that the new
cabinet will not survive It's first test
in the Chamber Of Deputies. Della
der is faced with disSension in his
own Radical-Socialist party, the
largest single group in the Chamber.
Socialist Leaders Offer Services
to the State
1t is unlikely that Leon Blum's So
cialistS, the second largest group in
the Chamber, will dare support Dala-
der in face Of the furious indigna-
ton Of the workers and Socialist
rank and file members against that
party's shameful role in supporting
the Chautemps Ministry In its wage
and relief cuts provisions and in
openly defending Stavisky's accom-
! pliceS in the government. Under
pressure Of this mass fury, Leon Blum
today announced he would not sup
port Daladier. At the same time, the
Socialist leaders launched a series
OF new maneuvers aimed at deceiv-
ing the masses, while at the same
time offering tn cir services to
strengthen the bourgeois state ap-
paratus.
This direct offer to head the bour-
geois state apparatus failed to evoke
even a ripple Of enthusiasm among
the bourgeoisie, since, as the New
York Tribune correspondent cabled
his paper:
"The Socialists In their manifesto
boast-thOugh rashIy, it seems to
some--that theirs Is the only poll
tical party not touched by scandal.
This correspondents inquiries,
however, support the view that the
Socialists are rapidly losing prestige
among the people, who distrust the
party leader, Leon Blum, and re-
member that It supported the
Chautemps Cabinet on two votes

vishy case"

similarly pessimistic views.

Britain and Italy
On Arms Increase
In NaM Land Army
Seek to Control Secret
Growth of German
Armed Force

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The British and
Italian governments issued state
ments last night in which they en-
dorSe partial re-arming for Germany.
Italy is willing to agree to Ger
man army Of 100000; Great Britain to
an army between 100000 and 100000,
plus medium sized guns and medium
sized tanks. The Italian proposal is
conditional on Gernany's returning
to the League Of Nations.
Both governments admit they don't
expect their plans to be taken seri-
ously. Nazi Germany has left both
the League and the Disarmament"
Conference, and Is known to be
building secretly all the arms which
are being discussed, besides having
hundreds of thousands Of storm
troopers drilled and under arms in
addition to the regular army allowed
by treaty.
Both governments are trying to put
themselves in the position of having
made concessions to the Justice" Of
Germany's case for re-arming, while
obtaining some sort Of control over
the nature and extent of Germany's
actual ornaments.

confidence of the Congress is en-
bodied in this resolution adopted by
unanimous decision of the Congress.
Tremendous Mass Joy
Everywhere is felt the JOY of
mastery.
However full mastery has not vet
been attained in certain sections of
the economy. In the transport situ-
alton, for example, Commissar An
dreyev, who was greeted with pro-
longed applause, depicted the actual
situation on the Soviet railroads and
described the shortcomings and the
tasks which faced the Party in this
industry. He showed that all the
possibilities of the railroads are not
yet being fully used, and that the
situation in railroads must improve.
A joy of mastery fills all the
speeches of the delegates discussing
Stains report All proclaim that the
Party has subordinated all petty
bourgeois theories of spontaneity
with the iron will of the proletariat.
This enormous victory has cleared
the path and has been accomplished
through the mastery of the elements
of nature, which under capitalism
carried off hundreds of thousands of
lives, in such regions as the Volga
SteppeS. Formerly the raging storms
and droughts of the Volga region
meant starvation and death to tens
OF thousands of poor peasants. The
terrible drought and famine of 1921
along the Volga Steppes, which killed
thousands upon thousands of peas
ants, was brought to the minds of
the delegates by Shubrikov, repre-
senting the Central Volga Region.
To-day" he says, I'VE have ex-
perienced greater storms than in
1921. But a new, powerful force
confronts the raging hot winds,
force which was non existent in
1921, force created by the first
Five Year Plan-the power of col
lectivization. Therefore, despite the
drought in the VoIga region, we
collected even larger harvest from
these fields than in 1881 and 1892.
No drought, no elements of nature,
can cause famine, hunger or a
grain shortage in our Soviet viii
lagos today, even though the posi-
bilities of the struggle of the col
lective farms against drought are
not yet fully realized"
Tomorrow, when the irrigation
Of the Volga district had advanced
full force, and the collective farm
ers have entirely mastered their
tractors and their power machinery
created by the first Five-Year Plan,
then all the natural wealth, lying
untouched in the ground, and all
the elements tanned by us, will be
put to work at the collective farms
and for the country aud the fe~-

saving Of about 700,000,00O rubles.
The first Five-Year Plan was sue
cessfully fulfilled and the beginning
OF the second is already successful.
All the delegates speak of those who
tried. to obstruct these victories by
fighting against the Bolshevik line
and endeavored to mislead the Party,
namely, the right and cleft" oppor-
tunists, whom the Party, under Stall
ms leadership, has smashed.
Fight Against Deviations
The Congress listened with the
greatest attention to Rykov's speech
before the close of the mornings ses-
sion, as one of the former leaders of
the right opportunists. Rykov adj
mitted his former leadership in his
struggle against the Central Com
mittee. He admitted that the line
advocated by Bukharin, Tonsky and
himself inevitably would have led
back to capitalism and that the right
deviation was the mouth-piece of the
property, petty bourgeoisie kualks
(rich peasants). Rykoy, however, said
these things with a certain air of
unwillingness, and he didn't expose
those who were his followers. His
speech was interrupted by frequent
Intersections from the delegates. He
admitted, however, the absolute VIC
tory Of the Party over its enemies,
including the group of the right de-
Walton. His speech was a full con-
firmation that all oppositions against
the Party line have been defeated
by the Party under Stains leader
ship. Rykov did not speak whole
heartedly, which indicates that the
vigilance OF the Party against the
former right opposition leaders and
members must not weaken, and that
their activities must be repeatedly
checked up. Comrade Stain re-
peatedly urged this and all the del
egate speakers emphasized it.
Foreign Party Greetings
The first speaker Of the evening
session was Razumov, Of East Siberia,
who described the growth of the Sib-
erian provinces. His speech was fol-
lowed by greetings from the foreign
Communist Parties.
The Polish Party greetings con-
trasted the capitalist crisis, with its
unemployment and hunger with the
Socialist construction and material
security certainty In the land Of the
Soviets. The Congress warmly ap-
plauded the Polish Communists adj
miration of the Soviet working class,
their struggles and victories, and of
the feminist Central Committee
leadership and leader. OF the Inter
national proletariat, Stain.
