securities in the open market, and
whether such purchases would be re-
sumed was considered probable ques-
ton for their discussion.
The. House had met at IL am. an
hour earlier than usual because of
warning by Byrns that /" well stay in
session today until We pass this bill"
Minority Leader Smell. who yesterday
taunted the House majority as spine
less" said:
This bill perpetuates a policy of
which we've never approved as party.
but since we've embarked on this course
it doesn't seem that We can stop now.
Furthermore. we're in such a minority
in the House that We couldn't stop if
We wanted to-"
G. o. p. Unpledged.
A Republican Steering Committee
meeting decided not to try to bind
minority members to vote against the
bill Republicans agreed instead they
would support what they considered
necessary amendments. but Byrns pre-
dicted that there won't be any amend
mentS of consequence adopted except
those offered by the Coinage Com
mittee."
Republican amendments to alter the
bill were sure to be offered, however.
House Coinage Committee members
said they considered the amendment for
an audit of the stabilization fund some
what of a concession to suggestions be-
fore House and Senate committees by
James P. Warburg, fnancier. and Roy
A. Young. governor Of the Boston
Federal Reserve Bank.
Secrecy Demanded.
But the President had not relented
in his determination that operations of
the fund should be secret until the
Government has had time to achieve
its objectiveS
Nor was there any indication he
would yield to Young, George w. Norris
governor of the Philadelphia Federal
Reserve Bank. and Benjamin NJ. Ander-
| son, economist for the Chase National
Bank, who argued against Federal
seizure of the s3,500,0 ,000, 900 of gold now
held in Federal Reserve Banks.
Two members of the Coinage Com
mittee - Representatives McGugin OF
Kansas and Elise of California-filed a
minority report with the House. saying
| the legislation does not stabilize the
dollar"
McGugin added that stabilization talk
was "hooey" and said he would propose
an amendment to fix the devaluation
i at 6623 of the dollars present statutory
value. He intended. too, he said. to
try to take this 81 900 000, 900 fund
out of the hands of one man.
Proposes Board Of Five.
His amendment in this direction
would let the stabilization money be
handled by a board of five-the Presi-
dent, Secretary of the Treasury. gov
ernor of the Federal Reserve Board and
two men appointed by the President
and confirmed by the Senate.
The Elise -McGugin report sounded
the general Republican prevote opin-
ion: I'VE fully realize that this legisla-
| ton is going to pass the House. We
believe that it is wise and practical to
level our most strenuous opposition to-
ward provisions in this bill, which We
believe are most dangerous and are
contrary to the traditional American
Government and are economically un-
sound"
Smell said he did not expect particu-
| lar opposition to the section allowing
| the Government to take gold from Re
serve banks because he could mot see
| much difference between that and tax
| ing it from the individual"

Many marketwise men were mildly
surprised when the market went up on
the Roosevelt stabilization news. The
answer from inside the market is that
stabilization will take the load OF un-
certainty off business and enable strug-
Cling concerns to make profits sooner.
Mr.. Roosevelt's pot shot at the Wash
ington lawyers hit the one particular
bird he was aiming at.
Only 20 out of the 35 Republican
Senators attended the last Senate Re-
publican caucus.
In q typographical error, one news
paper stated: Mr.. Roosevelt slyly
limited at 'bi-mentalism' in his message
to Congress" Erroneous insertion OF
an N" in the word made 1t more ac-
curate than was intended.

They doubt that he will break any

Their opinion is based on the sup

States of America. Our German
anti-fascist front is especially thank
full for the successful anti-fascist ac-
tons you have organized against
Hitler terror and for the continu-
ing of solidarity which has already
resulted in the turning over of
5000 to the support of the struggle
against the dictatorship, against
Hitler and against his war prepara-
tons It is our conviction that the
Party in the U. S. is rapidly pass
ing through its process of bolshevi-
cation which will enable it to win
millions of workers, working youth,
working women and the farmers
into a united front for mass strug-
giles, for the solution of our i'm
mediate problems and to develop
out of these struggles the struggle
for power and the establishment of
the dictatorship of the proletariat
in the U. S.
Our beloved leader, Ernst Thael-
mann is suffering already for more
than a year, tortures in Hitler's
dungeons. His best friend, John
Schehr, was murdered together
with three other comrades by Hit
ler's secret police, but in spite of
all that, our leader, Ernst Thael-
mann, continues to inspire the mil
lions of German workers in their
struggle for freedom. They know
that the torture cannot conquer
Thaelmann, who is one of the best
sons of the German proletariat,
who has put his life 30 the service
of the working class and of Soci-
alism.

convention here, the center Of at
tention is required by the same

problems, the struggles, the same
aims for which our leader Thael-
mann and with him many hundreds
thousands Of anti-fascists are today
suffering in the fascist jails. The
same great historic tasks are con-
fronting you here in America to
fight against capitalism, especially
against imperialist war and to
develop the struggle for the die
tatorship Of the proletariat.
This aim, the establishment of
the dictatorship of the proletariat,
we can only achieve If we get the
first base in the application of our
tactics of the united front from be-
low. Comrade Thaelmann has again
and again put this task as the
first before our German Party so
that over the road of struggle for
the daily bread Of the workers, we
should be able to develop the strug-
gle for power.
The struggle on two fronts against
Ufle CAPITALISTS vi ulic liollN, as oAAAoe
opportunism and against deviations
of the Party by rigid self-criticism,
was Thaelruann's service to our Ger
man Party. This is also your task,
Comrade Thaelmann has carried this
struggle on both fronts in the sharp
est form. He put this in the fore
front of the battle against capital
ism. He fought against opportun-
ism and against all forms of de-
viations from the straight Bolshevik
path of our German Party.
It lis because of this persistent
struggle that the German bour-
geoisie does not succeed in destroy
ing our Communist Party; although
that destruction of our Party was
the main task of the German bour-
geoisie put into the hands of the

Hitler fascist dictatorship Hitler
will never succeed in this. Our
German Communist Party lives. It
lives more than ever. With our
German Party, the Communist
movement lives all over the world.
Those who do not believe it should
listen to the revolutionary rumblings
of the general strike in France, of
the uprisings and struggles in Cuba,
in Spain; they should look at the
successful struggles of the young
Chinese Soviet Republic; they should
look at the heroic struggles of our
japanese Communist Party; they
should regard the workers in Brit
ain, in America everywhere organ
izing the struggles against hunger
and for chance to live.
They should learn the lessons
from the heroic struggles of the
proletariat in Vienna as well as
from the more than 400 strikes
which only recently we're carried
through by German workers in spite
of Hitler terror They should learn
from the heroism with which the
German workers continue to issue
their press, bring out shop papers
even in the face of threats of exc
cution.
Our support to the International
Red Aid must be intensified. An in
ternational movement must be de-
veloped, overshadowing in intensity
even the international actions of the
past in the Sacco-V anzetti case and
others in freedom for Thaelman and
for all imprisoned anti-fascists in
all capitalist countries and the de-
mand for the freedom Of the Scots
boro boys.

Germany is characterized by new
upward swing into revolutionary
mass movement under the leader
ship of the Communist Party Of
Germany. Thirty per cent of the
Party members of the underground
and illegal German Party are former
members of the Social Democratic
Party. This is proof that the Ger
man Communists learn in spite of
mass terror to apply the united
front tactic from below.
The recent strikes in Germany are
proof Of the growing ripeness of the
class struggle in Germany. They
are proof Of the growth of the revo-
lutionary determination of the Ger
man working class. All these strikes
in the industrial territory of Berlin,
of the Ruhr and on the waterfront
increase the dissatisfaction forced
by the wage cuts and terror, increase
the bitterness and hatred of the
masses against capitalism.
Today there are as yet few big
strikes in Germany, but there are a
great number of serious struggles,
with strong political tendency
against the Nazis and against the
Hitler government. In the basic in
dustrial territories in the Ruhr, in
one of the establishments of Thys-
sen, who only recently contributed a
million dollars to the Hitler Party,
1900 workers struck against a 10 per
cent wage reduction. The day after
this reduction became known, little
scraps of paper were handed out
demanding, Elect delegates" The

Success iH Struggle
Requires a Party
Of Iron Discipline

Beyond question, almost
every one knows by this
time that the Bolsheviks
would not have been able
to hold power for two and
a half years, nor even for
two and a half months, had
there not been the stl'ictest
possible discipline, a truly
iron discipline, within the
Party; nor would they have
been able to hold power
without the whole-hearted
support of the entire mass
of the working class, or at
any rate the full support of
all the members of the
working class, who are
class-conscious, sincere, de-
voted, influential, and COM
petent to lead those who
are comparatively back
ward or attract them into
the forward movement.
The dictatorship of the
proletariat is a hard-fought
fight against the forces
and traditions of the old
society,"; a fight that is both
bloody and unbloody, both
violent and passive, both
military and economic, both
educational and admins
trative. The power of ha-
bit, ingrained in millions
and tens Of millions, is a
terrible power. Without
the Party, a party of iron
which has been tempered in
the struggle, a party that
enjoys the confidence of all
the straightforward mem
bers of the working class,
a party able to understand
and to influence the psy-
chology of the masses, sue
cess in such a struggle
would be impossible.

AS far as the work among the
working women is concerned, the
tempo of the Party is still too slow.
I am of the opinion that the 9th
National Convention must pay at
tention to this sector of the battle

rising tide of new revolutions and
new wars. In Germany already to-
day, women have replaced the muir

the chain of work of our Party
among the working women must be

Of women delegates from the shop
are the most important lever for
the mobilization and the organiza-

this lever which will enable us to
