A German Refugee
Appeals For Action

WHAT does so-called German Ma
" tionai Socialism mean from the
standpoint of economic and social
science? It means: growing unpro-
ductive burdens; rising unemploy-
ment; intensified antagonism' be-
tween town and country; aggra-
waited class contradictions; fictitious
unification, called Gleichshaltung
Coordination lie, Capitalization
Of bankruptcy.
The weaker German fascism, the
stronger the terror and the more
greedy the drive for expansion.
Fascist German economy is a war
economy. It cannot be otherwise.
1t must expand outward, because it
will otherwise dry up. 1t is an at
tempt to repeat the war concentra-
ton of 1914-18. 1t is nothing new;
it represents no change in the
economic structure, no change in
class relations, nor in property.
Even its organization is an imitation
and continuation of an already old
process. The rapidly cooling Hit
lerite enthusiasm means nothing
in this regard.
Hitlerism is the endeavor to re-
vive barbarism in the Goth century
out of fear of its own impotence.
Why are they destroying the
means of existence of the Jews?
Why do they proclaim the suprem-
acy of the so-called Aryans in the
typical land of race mixtures,
through which all the peoples of

were rather literal-minded and

chamberpots, and altogether effec-
tive missiles, injuring scores OF

ers, of all anti-fascists for the I'M
conditional release of Ernst Thael-
mann concerns the American intelli-
gentsia, the writer's, professionals,
students and journalists, m or e
deeply than they know.
If Ernst Thaelmann dies at the
hands of his torturers, the Nazis
will keep their guillotines going day
and night, and our own meager lib
critics will die with him.
The National Committee. to Aid
Victims of German Fascism calls
upon the intellectuals, the profess
SIGNALS and the students to send
protests to Paul Won Hindenburg
in Berlin and to Hans Luther in
Washington and to demand that
Ernst Thaelmann have the right
to choose a foreign defense attor-
ney, that physicians be permitted to
see and examine and treat his
wounds, and that the trial be pub
lie.
Demand that the Volksgericht be
abolished and that the 100000
prisoners in concentration camps
be released.
IT is time for the intellectuals to
l know that they must take sides.
Either they must shamelessly sup
port the owning class, the entire
preneurs, the industrialists through
out the world, or they must take
their stand with the toilers of the
world. War and fascism and the
armament manufacturers have
proven that all nationalist boun-
diaries are geographical f1ctions
strategically employed to prevent
the toilers of one country from
stopping the expressions and ex-
hausting explorations of the work
ers, the brain and hand workers,
of another.
Fellow-writers, there is no middle
course today. The tragic and har-
rowing era in which we live will
force us, willy, nilly, to take sides,
and if we continue as by-standers,
and refuse to recognize the relent-
less direction of history we will be
caught and trapped by the mount
ing reactionary forces, and like our
unhappy writers and intellectuals
abroad, be uprooted refugees or
prisoners in concentration camps.
The same holds true of our SUI
dents and youth. The future lies
in the palm of your hands, if you
will but close that palm and raise
it vertically. Unite to save the life
of Ernst Thaelmann and all anti
fascists, and unite to save your

ERNST THAELMANN is in the
Z Nazi Columbia House, awaiting
secret trial by the Volksgericht. In
order to wiring secrets from Thael-
mann that will enable the Storm
Troops to demolish the working
class cadres, he is facing daily tor
ture. Aside from this, 300 anti-fas-
cists are being held as hostages
against an expected outbreak Of Il
legal activities and labor strikes. A
letter has been intercepted, stating
that these 800 prisoners will be shot
as soon as the renewed anti-Nazi
opposition has begun. Among these
hostages are Carl Won Osstetzki,
writer and paci1st, Klaus Neu-
krantz, author of Barbados in Ber-
lin; Ludwig Rem, writer; Theo-
dore Neubauer, eminent journalist,
and erstwhile deputies in the Com
nlunist fraction of the Reichstag.
These and others are already near
death as the result of truncheon
and torture bruises. There are
100000 men and women in concen-.
tration camps. Three thousand
anti-fascists have already been as
sassinated.
The Volksgericht, the so-called
Peoples Tribunal, has been estab-
lished. This is a new landmark in
the Brown Terror. These Guillo-
tine Tribunals, composed Of five
Nazis, who are selected on the basis
of a long and uninterrupted fealty
to the National Socialists, have been
set up according to districts in the
cities and provinces. 1t consists of
a president who appoints the de-
tense and the prosecution, besides
two other Nazis. The defendant is
tried and in secret, without the
right to choose his attorney.
The Guillotine Tribune has been
instructed to dispose of all political
cases within 48 hours to three days.
The Nazi government will not
hazard another Leipzig affair. 1t
has discovered that its sleazy theat-
RIGS, it's genre of Semple McPher-
son shownanship, proved its un-
doing against the brilliant and fear
less Dimitrcff.
From the judgment of the Volks-
gericht there is no higher appeal.
This Guillotine Tribunal is the in
strument the Nazis are going to
employ for the humiliation of 1000
Communist functionaries.
1t is altogether evident that the
Nazis are alarmed. Heightened ter
ror can only mean increased oppo-
sition.
NOT long back, during the making
II of the Horst Vessel film, the
dedication Of a classical pimp, the
Nazis got another jolt symptomatic
of snti-fascist opposition. The pic
ture was being produced in We'd
ding, the workingclass district, and
the tenants were asked to partici-
pate. The intention of the Nazis
was to reproduce Communist DEM
onstrations against the fascists and
to show the brutality of the Marx
lists so as to arouse German movie
audiences against them.
The workers in Wedding were in
structed to throw down from their
windows papier-mache fiowerpots

Hatred of Nine Lupescu is

Even army officers intensely loyal

The Nazi hatred of Nine. Lupescu
was a factor in Duca's murder. He
and Carol had rejected all demands
Of the Iron Guard element for an

that Rumania never should coun-

AS part of the move to rid the
