ing the respect and confidence Of
the peoples Of the world It viii
establish a firm alliance with the
victorious working class Of the So
Wet Union, which has already laid
the foundation Of a socialist eco
nomy, and present to the imperialist
world an invincible proletaran
power.
Only the victory Of the proletarisn
revolution in Germany can save,
not only the German masses from
catastrophe, but also Europe and
the whole world from a disastrous
war. Hitler. faced with deepening
economic crisis, a split in his own
ranks, rising revolutionary move
ment, and sharpening international
antagonisms, is moving not towards
peace and Cancellation, as the
morons Of the capitalist pres tell
us, is more than ever impelled ir-
resistibly toward sharper terror at
home and imperialist adventures
abroad. Only the victory Of the Ger
man workers can destroy the Mad
Dog of Europe and save the world
from the catastrophe Of new war.
Many professed supporters Of
peace in the capitalist governments.
knowing full well that Hitler is
rushing the world towards war,
nevertheless are one and all ex-
pressing great apprehension at the
threatened downfall Of Hitler. That
is because they know, and publicly
admit, that the only possible sue
cessor to the fascist regime is Boil
shevism. These lovers Of peace"
fear and abhor the victory of the
working class more than they do
the unbridled slaughter of fascism
and world war.
Hitlerism in the United States
1t is these same people. who ex-
press horror and disgust at the
atrocities Of German fascism, who
steadily help develop more and
more the same fascist tendencies in
the United States. All the features
Of pre-Hitler Germany which
marked the preparations for open
fascist dictatorship, are now show
ing themselves in the United States.
Just as Hitler resurrected medieval
anti-semitism, so the American
bourgeoisie is using the traditional
Ku Klux Khan terrorism of lynch
law against the Negroes, as well as
importing the anti-semitism of
Hitler, and instigating wave Of
chauvinism against the foreign-born
masses.
just as the Social Democrat
Grzesinski, preparing the way for
Hitler, dubbed and shot the work.
ers of Berlin, so also the liberal
progressive" LaGuardia, advance
agent of the American Hitler. is
daily assaulting the workers Of New
York. just as Bruening, Schleicher,
Won Papen, crushed the strikes Of
the Ruhr miners, and the Berlin
metal and transport workers, pre-
pairing the rise Of Hitler to power,
so in California the state troops are
firing upon striking marine workers,
killing 8 and wounding over hun
dred yesterday alone. Pennsyl-
vania cossacks shot down the AM
bridge steel workers, Ohio troops
fired on the Toledo strikers, Min
nesota militia broke the Minneapolis
truck drivers strike. Milwaukee DO
lice beat up and jailed the striking
street-car workers, New Jersey
troops and police are smashing the
agricultural and furniture workers
strikes and cancelling all civil rights,
Alabama armed forces are shooting
down Negro and white miners, all
under the banner Of Roosevelt and
the New Deal
Do you realize, comrades, that in
the last few months in the United
States over 80 workers have been
killed in cold blood on the picket
lines, and several hundred have
been seriously wounded? Did the
regime of Bruening and Severing
in Germany do any better than this
in paving the way for fascism?
Have Hitler and his murder-gang
anything worse on their record than
the weekly lynchings of Negroes in
the United States, or the decisions
for the legal murder of the Scots
boro boys and Angelo Herndon?
On the Road to Fascism
Clearly, American finance capital
is rushing forward on the road to
fascism.
We must learn all the lessons
Of the tragic experience of the
German masses. We must rouse
and organize the broadest sup
port in America to the German
anti-fascist struggle. We must
make of this solidarity movement,
at the same time, struggle
against rising fascism in this
country, and defeat it before it
ever comes to power.
