growing upsurge against the fascist
dictatorship.
The London Daily Herald"
organ of the British Labor Party,
which supports British imperial
isn's plans in arnling German fas-
cism, yesterday published special
interview with representatives of
the German ex-Kaiser in Doom.
General Werner Won Blomberg
head of the Reichswehr, says a
London cable reporting this inter-
view has given the Kaiser to un-
derstand that revolt of the Ger
man working class is impending.
They may swing to Commu-
nism. To avert that catastrophe
the Reichswehr, under General
Won BiOmberg, would proclaim a
military dictatorship and declare
martial law"
Another capitalist correspondent
in Berlin, cabling for the Interna-
tioal News Service says:
"The second revolution if and
when it comes, will be aimed at
the capitalist classes, those who
take the pessimistic view of the
situation believe. These observers
cite the increasingly turbulent
activities of the Communists as
an indication of the growing
gravity Of the situation"
We do not have to rely on these
sources TO know that the stalwart
steeled, heroic leader of the Ger
man masses, the Communist Party
is growing by leaps and bounds, ire
rnendously increasing its leadership
in the fight against the bloody fas-
cist dictatorship. Despite all the
Dragging Of the Nazis, and the lies
Of the Trotskfte, the Communist
Party in Germany not only lives, but
by reluctant admission of the cap
italists throughout the world, be-
comes the greatest fighting menace
to the further existence of fascisn
which has brought Germany tc
catastrophe.
1t is with this fact in view. that
the capitalists in Germany and Their
capitalist supporters throughout the
world. prepare their new bloodiel
tactics against the German toiline
masses.
Won Papen Makes Signal Speech
Ven Papeu's speech was the open
ing gun. II was peddled to the
world as q criticism of the Nszi
regime, but was in reality concocted

with Hitler, Won Hindenburg, and
Goering in an effort to save the
Nazi executioners from the growing
wrath of the broad masses Of the
German people.
The leading section of German
finance capitalism for whom the
NaH butchers we're ruling could
very clearly see that the majority
of the German people were begin
ming to hate and fight against their
Nazi bloodhounds. They wished to
open up q new alley of escape for
themselves, and to do it they di-
rected their fire against certain sec
tons of the Nazi leadership. But
! even this hoax is now being ex-
ploded. Won Papen stages a tea
party with the Minister OF lying and
poisonous propaganda, Goebbels, for
the benefit of the foreign correspon-
dents. The whole game is to deceive
the German masses that there are
degrees of difference in fascist
dictatorship, and that it is not nee
essary to overthrow the whole bloody
business and destroy its capitalist
! roots in order to divest themselves
of the grip of the Hitler blood
suckers.
German Capitalism Bankrupt
The economic situation is becom-
ing desperate for German capital
ism. The masses are being plunged
into the lowest depths of hunger
Financial bankruptcy can no longer
be hidden, and imitation is matter
Of a short period. The Nazi butch-
ers are already preparing this in
f1ation and do not want to loosen
it on the working masses and the
middle class without preparation
The printing works of the Reich
Banks are working night and day
turning out inflated currency, the
internal mark" or the Binnen
mark. The government, in prepare
ton for the impending famine, is
already printing bread, potato, cot
ton and other material cards to ra
ton the masses on a hunger diet
These facts are being spread among
the German masses. The Com
munist Party is exposing the whole
criminal swindle of the German fas-
cist dictatorship to the toiling popu-
lstion, rallying them for the final
struggle to overthrow capitalism and
institute Soviet power. the dictator

among whom fascism had its base,

Goodyear by June 26th. He asked
for two weeks to make this change,
then ten days, but said nothing
about the other demands of the
workers. The union committee to
whom Mr.. Jahant made this plea
felt powerless to accept any agree
ment in face of the militancy of the
workers.
Decide to Picket
Coleman Claherty, who is also
chairman of the Rubber Workers
Council recently organized, who saw
to it that the craft unions and small
plant representatives we're put in
control of the Council to hold down
the masses in the big plants, made
a speech to the striking workers in
which he asked the workers to back
up Roosevelt in Ibis fight against
Wall Street. and then attacked
General johnson for side tracking
and betraying the Roosevelt policies
behind the back of the President.
He urged the workers to have faith
in their union officials and not to
do anything rash to injure their
union. He was met with cries Of
abolish the Company Union" and
1--WE Want More Wages!"
The president Of the local union
suggested that the men go back to
their machines but refuse to work
until the wages were adjusted, or
until notified by the union officials.
However, the workers decided to
picket the plant, beginning Thurs
day morning and to remain out on
strike until the company union was
abolished. After that they could
agree upon an adjustment of the
wages, but the wages should be at
least equal to those paid in Good
rich and Goodyear for the same
work.

the Automobile Workers Union that
has demonstrated in the great Auto

to this conference must keep in
mind that the automobile workers
are ready for action, provided that
they are supplied with leadership
that has a program of struggle, and
that is able to unite and to organize
the masses for a program of the
economic demands that the work

to maintain at least some living
conditions.
