| German fascism is breeding con-
tradictions so rapidly it's hard to
keep up with them. There is not the
slightest possibility of solving the
catastrophe economic crisis, and
Killers efforts to plunge the world
into a new slaughter is being con-
fronted with obstacles in the form
of the Soviet Unions peace policy
and peace alliances.

are not to infect the whole structure
and cause its speedier death. Even
the highest brain centers show signs
of the disease with Krupp demon
stratively quitting, and Thyssen
leaving for a health trip to Latin
America. This should not be con-
sidered as any fundamental dis
agreement between finance capital
ism and the fascist butchers, but
the spreading of riffs to certain sec
lions of the top, because of the in
ability of Hitler to even pretend to
solve the crisis. The top stratum of
the Hitler regime, by its deeds, is
already beginning to express its fear
of revolutionary eruption.
A process of disintegration is going
n on in the ranks of the anarcho-
syndicalist trade unions in Spain
following the betrayal of the snar-
chist leaders. Anarchism is dying
violent death being stoned by the
bitter criticism of the proletariat
who were misled by it.
The Daily Worker has already
published the news of the anar-
chists in Castillo cutting all connec-
tons not only with their leaders
but with their past anti-political
philosophy. Just recently we re-
ceived clipping from Ell Diario Of
Madrid containing an interview with
an unnamed anarchist leader. The
said anarchist leader of the Con-
federation Nacional de Trabajo
(National Confederation of Labor,
or more pupularly known as the
C.NT) admits that his organization
is torn with dissenSion and the rank
and file are no longer content with
the anarchist slogans of Politics is
oppression"
Asked if the anarchists were about
to abandon their political credo,
he hemmed: 1T is still early, per-
haps, to make predictions on the
matter. In any event, discussions
on the subject in our circles are
fierce and continuous. What 1 will
volunteer is, that that proposal is
the center of controversy and even
angry discussions"
THE anarchist leaders boycott of
the election last November helped
the Lerroux- Robes fascists to gain
parliamentary majority; and their
sabotage of the general strike and
armed uprising of the workers, aided
the same fascist forces to drown the
workers revolutionary struggles in
a sea of blood.
The C.N.T. is one of the largest
trade union organizations in Spain
having around 100000 members,
and this development among the
rank and file is one of the most inn
portant for the future success of the
proletarian revolution in Spain.
THE Roosevelt government has
sent gunboat to Wuhu, Anwhei
province, in order to show the mis-
sionaries that God is protecting

the slaughter of hundreds of Chi
nese workers and peasants, under
command of Lieut. Commander E.
H. Jones steamed down the Yangtze
from Hankow to take on board the
90 missionaries and their families
who consider working in the vine-
yards of the Lord unsafe for the
present because the vineyards are
full of starving Chinese peasants.
If we know the chivalry of U. S.
navy commanders in China at least
a score of innocent Chinese workers
and peasants will pay with their
lives for the death of two mission
aries. 1t is not clear even yet who
killed the two STAINS, as the last re-
