Germany Nearing
Financial Crisis,
Open Initiation
Starvation Level for All
Workers Sought as
Deficit Scars

BERLIN, March 26.-The Hitler
regime is rapidly approaching a
financial crisis of major proportions.
This fact is revealed even by the
official announcement of the Fin
ance Minister, Count Lutz Schwerin
Won Krosigk, that the budget deficit
up to June is six billion marks
($2,382,O 900, 1000.
OF this sum, he said, four billion
marks ($1,58S, 900, 0O0) is to be
raised by discounting future taxes.
This sum includes the three billion
which the Nazis announced they
would use to ere due" unem-
ployment, which is greater today
than it ever has been.
Even with this gigantic deficit,
the Nazi government can function
only by putting through new
wage-cut program more drastic
than any previous one, reducing the
standards of living of the masses
to the lowest subsistence level.
Their Unemployment program" is
gigantic share the starvation"
program by which they will try
to spread the mass payrolls out
among larger number of workers.
The billions of the deficit, which
are to be borrowed, are in addi-
ton to the regular budget, which
is 600,000,000 marks higher than
last years, almost all of the increase
going to the army, navy, and the
Storm Troops and other war prep
arations.
All these steps are bringing into
the open the concealed initiation on
which the Nazi regime has operated
ever since coming to power, and
bring the moment close when they
will have to enter the road of open
initiation, with sudden and cata-
strophic rise in the cost of living
and a repetition of the horrors of
the gigantic initiation of 1923-1924.

AuStria'S Fascist
Constitution To
EnSlaye Workers
Gives State Greater
Authority Than Haps-
burgs Had

VIENNA, March 26.-The fascist
constitution" of Austria, which
gives the Dollfuss-H eimwehr gov
eminent greater power even than
to the Hapsburg monarchy, includ-
ing the power to alter the con-
stitution at will, is announced here.
1t is to go into effect at Easter,
next Sunday.
The constitution announces that
all state power "emanates from
God" makes the Roman Catholic
church an established part of the
state, and provides for government
by representatives of finance capital,
industry, and the church, who will
advise" the government, and reach
their decisions in secret.
The working class is not even
given the pretense of representation
in the government, which will rule
by dictatorial decree. Absolute en-
slavement of the Austrian masses
is provided for.

MuSSOIini in Bid
For United Front
Against Negroes
Fascist Dictator Drags
Out BOgey of Negro
Domination of US.

ROME, March 26.-In the news
paper I'll Popolo dTtalia," Benito
Mussolini, Italian fascist dictator,
makes a bid for a united front of
the budding fascism of the New
DEAL with Italian fascism against
the rising liberation struggles of
the Negro peoples in the United
States and Africa.
Mussolini insults the Negro
masses, to whom he refers as "the
fertile grandsons of Uncle Tom, 3"
and raises the DOGGY of Negro
domination of the United States,
asking, Are we to see within a
century a Negro in the White
House?" He discovers an alarm
ing" decrease in the white birth
rate in the U. S., which he de-
MES is due to the ravages of the
crisis on the whole toiling popula-
ton, for that would be to admit
the commonplace knowledge that
the Negro masses are the worst
sufferers under the crisis of decay
Ing capitalism.
Mussolini finds even the present
savage fascist lynch terror against
the Negro masses in the U. S. too
mild and tells his fellow reac-
tionaries that they are sacrificing
their power of tomorrow ito the
comfortable life and illusory we'll
being of today"
Seeks Allies for War Plans
It will be remembered that in a
recent war-like speech, Mussolini
threatened his imperialist rivals
with an Italian expansion at the
expense of their African colonies.
Fascist Italy is frantically seek
ing new alignments for its war
plans, both in Europe and across
the Atlantic In addition, fascist
Italy is waging a savage war of
determination against the militant
tribes in Tripoh North Africa,
who have refused to submit tame
Y TO the robbery Of their lands.

Italian Election"
Returns Reveal
Gigantic Fraud
MussOlini Claims 00.8
Per Cent Approval
of Electors

ROME, March 28.-The official
report of Mussolini's fascist gov
eminent on yesterdays elections"
gives a total of 10,025,513 votes of
Eyes" OF the hand-picked fascist
list, 1925 votes of NO." and 1919
disqualified ballots"
These totals are so far beyond
credibility in a period when Mus
solini has been forced to respond
to the growing unrest of the Italian
masses by his recent demagogic
declaration that he was abolish
ing capitalism" while putting
through measures to strengthen the
grip of capitalists on the working
class, that they can only represent
gigantic Justification.
Five years ago. before the world
crisis, the official figures of a sim
liar vote" were 136,198 mo" and
8,506,576 Yes" Since that period,
the crisis has hammered the living
standards of the Italian masses
down to unprecedented low levels.
and produced mass struggles of a
violent nature despite the 10-year
establishment of fascist terrorism
which has destroyed all the work
ers' means of open organized pro-
test.
Yesterdays elections" in which
the voter could only say eyes" or
mo" to list of candidates selected
by the fascist party, was preceded
by the wholesale arrest of all per-
sons known to lack sympathy with
the Mussolini regime, and carried
through under conditions of open
terrorism.
Nevertheless, the 1913 per cent of
eyes" votes announced, obviously
indicates an Unexpectedly large
number of mo" votes which the
fascists felt compelled to cover up
by a wholesale fraud which has
over-reached the bounds of plausi-
bility.

Bankers are viewing the credit
