i the NaZi regime through
the Fascist reverses in the
elections for factory "confis
dence councils" over a month
ago are now having repercus-
sions in the visible cracks in
the top ruling strata of the German
Fascist dictatorship. The speech Of
the Nazi Vice Chancellor, Franz Won
Papen, heralded in the world capi-
talist press as criticism" of the Nazi
regime, is really designed as light
ming rod to catch the thunderbolt Of
the oncoming storm.
Won Papen's object is to direct tbs
ever-mounting discomfort, rising
with the fury of a volcano about to
burst. against only certain sections
of the Nazis and not against the
bloody fascist dictatorship of the
German capitalist class.
Won Papen may or may not be
sacrificed. But Won Papen is only the
mouthpiece of Hitler, Won linden
berg, Goering, Thyssen and other
powerful forces of German capital
ism. The game is to trim the sails
of the Nazi pirate ship in face of
the rising hurricane in order to OUT
ride the storm.
Mass discomfort has reached deep
into the Storm Troops, the armed
hordes of the Fascist dictatorship;
and the German bourgeoisie, in the
face of imitation, in the face of an
economic catastrophe, in the face of
its defeats in its war-ridden foreign
policy (due chiefly to the peace Dol.
icy of the Soviet Union) wants to
divest Itself of as much excess bag.
gage as it can. In this aim, they
retain the services of Hitler and
Goering; while Goebbels, chief Nazi
propaganda, whose task of turning
out demagogy is made more hercu-
lean daily, and Rohm, who is faced
daily by more impoverished storm
troopers expecting the heavens to
open for them with the advent Of
Hitler to power, balk somewhat at
the necessary maneuvers.
A new council of war is soon to
be held in Germany among the Nazi
chiefs and their supporters, German
finance capital, to plan the best
methods to reach the onrushinR
catastrophe. Along with Won Papen's
speech we learn that the Nazi am

report that Hans Adolf Won Moltke.

and will go to Berlin soon for the

All OF these gentlemen will bring
reports of the growing world disgust
and opposition to the Nazi butcher
regime, and will recommend that
the ugly face of fascism be painted
with a new mask.

discomfort is growing, and when one
examines the state of affairs. one
must recognize the fact that MANY

In other words, the demagogy has
