At present, American capitalism seeks way
out of the crisis through aggressive program of
war and fascism. For purposes of war and for its
terrorism against the working class, the rulers of
America strive to win the youth The revolutionary
movement in America, seeking a solution to the
crisis in the interests of the working masses cannot
do so without winning the youth to its side That is
why the Communist Party at its Eighth National
Convention and since has placed such great empha-
sis on building a mass Young Communist League

C. p. Issues Declaration
On 18th Anniversary
of Its Founding
Rr r. II.

by N. H.
THE Communist Party of Germany
i on the 18th Anniversary of the
foundation of the Communist Party
by Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Lieb-
knecht, has restated in It's program
for the salvation of the German
working class that the only way out
of the crisis is the seizure OF power
by the working class.
This program, restatement of
the program for the social and ma
tional liberation of the German
working people issued by Comrade
Ernst Thaelmann in September
1880, on behalf of the Party, is a
powerful weapon in our hands to
smash the fascist demagogy of race
theories, patriotism and lying prom
Uses.
This program of the Communist
way out has an Importance, stretch
ing beyond the frontiers of Ger
many. This program of social and
national emancipation holds good
practically word for word for the
United States of America, and a
comparison with the Manifesto of
the Eighth Convention of the C.P.
of the U.SA. shows that the basic
problems faced by the CPS of both
countries differ only in the degree
to which the crisis of capitalism has
progressed further in one country
than in another. The program for
the social and national emancipa-
ton Of the German people, for the
Peoples Revolution follows.
THE program of the Communists
is the program of revolution. There
is no other Socialist program upon
which the establishment of Social
list planned economy and the estab-
lishment of a classics society are
possible. We Communists declare to
the workers and all the toilers in
town and country that We are de-
termined to overthrow the Hitler
dictatorship and to take over power
at the head Of the p"o,caarist. The
workers of Germany must decide to

take the road to freedom and to
well-being under the leadership of
the Communists. The development
of Socialism in the Soviet Union
furnishes definite proof that only
Communism brings salvation for
the working masses, and that the
Soviet power is the only way out
of poverty and starvation.
When the Communists Seize Power
THE Communists, after they seize
power, will carry out the expropria-
ton of the capitalists and Junkers,
of the bankers, of the big depart

and the parasites. They will abolish
all the indebtedness of the workers,
the peasants and the middle classes
to the banks, big capitalists and
big land owners and annul all taxes.
THE Communists will confiscate
all the mansions, houses and homes
of the rich, forcibly dispossess the
idlers from them and turn their
dwelling, together with all their fur

the workers living in miserable

They will confscate all the gov.

and social suppression of the toiling
masses.
Only Soviet power insures the
carrying out of the program for the
salvation of the working people. The
Soviet power is the dictatorship of
the proletariat for the overthrow Of
all exploiters. 1t is the organized
state power of the armed proletariat
in alliance with the working farm
ers for the carrying out OF Socialist
planned economy.
What Soviet Power Is
The Soviet power is the most far
reaching democracy for the work
ers, soldiers, peasants and all other
toilers. It is the untrammelled right
of self-determination for the pro-
ductive population. 1t is the leader
ship and control of economic life
by the working class and the toiling
population.
The Soviets are the elected or
gans of the working class and all
toilers; they are legislative and ex-
ecutive organs at the same time
and are the direct fighting organs
of the proletariat during and after
the conquest of power. That is why
only the Soviet power insures the
development of the creative forces
of the toiling masses freed from
capitalism.
1T is possible to obtain and re-
tain Soviet Power only under the
leadership Of the Communist Party,
which unites in its ranks the BEST.

The Thompson REPORT

T'HE capitalist press gingerly and in the
greatest haste handled the statement
of W. 0. Thompson, member of the OAR
row N. R. A. Review Board, who has Just
sent in his resignation to Roosevelt.
Throughout the land you will look in
vain for any extended discussion of this
extraordinary statement of leading government
expert, based on the findings of a government in
vestigating commission
The reason is simply that the Thompson state
ment is a blistering exposure of the Roosevelt N.
R. A. as the tool of Wall Street monopoly and the
wedge of advancing American Fascism
Here is the way expert, appointed by the
Roosevelt government to evaluate the N r. A. on
the basis of an impartial study of the facts writes
about the whole Roosevelt N R. A. program:
The trend of the National Recovery Adj
ministration has been and continues to be toward
the encouragement and development Of monopoIy
capitalism in the United States
Thus the n. l. R. A. clearly reflects its class
character as attempt Of the capitalists to find
q way out of the crisis by passing the burdens
onto the shoulders of the masses of workers and
farmers. The N r. A. reflects the inability of So
called enlightened capitalism to operate a
planned economy to improve the living standards
of the masses. ITS DEVELOPMENT DAY BY
DAY REVEALS MORE CLEARLY A MARKED
TREND TOWARD FASCISM IN THE UNITED
STATES"
WAS not this the analysis which the Communist
" Party, basing itself on the Marxst-Leninist
teachings of the Communist International gave OF
the Roosevelt N. r. A. exactly one year ago?
Does not this confirm, with proof of tripie-brass
the predictions and warnings of the Communist
Party against the N. r. A.?
Whom has history proved to be correct? The
DarroW and Thompson statements and the bitter
experience Of the masses, have swept aside the
Thomas and Green gorfcation of the N R. A. as
an infamous fraud perpetrated upon the masses to
lu their vigilance against the assaults of the ru-
ing class.
The Communist Party has been proved cor
rect. 1t has been proved to be the truest and
surest guide of the masses. Its line has been
proved to be the only correct guide for the daily
struggle for bread and higher wages.
WITH utter frankness, Thompson proclaims to
Roosevelt that "only change in class relation
ships can eliminate poverty and raise the liv-
ing standards of the entire population"
But it is only proletarian revolution which
effect this change in class relationships" Only
the overthrow of capitalism and the setting I'D IF
the dictatorship of the proetariat, CT . Covict
America can bring this change about.
1t is, in other words the revolutionary way out
of the crisis, the way of the Communist Party, the
way of Bosheyisn1, the way Of Lenin taken by the
workers and peasants in the 1917 October Revolt
ton which can END poverty" and the miseries Of
