Hitler, Gods Deputy
Against Seldom and GomOrrah
The Real Orgies
By HARRY CANNES

As a deputy of god, Hitler
II thought it quite consistent
to explain his bloodletting
within his own ranks as a
new expedition against So
dom and Gomorrah. With fire
and birthstone, he declared,
he is excising the moral foulness
among his followers.
If this were the object. the
suicides" would have to be more
general and more thorough. So
little prestige does the putrid Nazi
regime have in the eyes of world
public opinion, that the band of
insane homosexual drug addicts now
in power in Germany have to re-
sort to sexual explanations for
their bloody deeds.
Except for official confirmation,
Hitler's admission of the rankest
degeneracy in the Nazi statement
reveals nothing new. The sadist
friends who tortured and butchered
Communist leaders and who now
are threatening to behesd Ernst
Thaelmann, heroic leader of the
Communist Party of Germany, are
individually as degenerate as CAPT.
talism is economically, politically
and culturally.
"The execution of the arrests"
says the Nazi statement, revealed
such immortality that any trace
of pity was impossible. Some of
these Storm Troop leaders had
taken male prostitutes along with
them. One of them was even dis
turbed in a most ugly situation
and was arrested"
pUT what the statement does not
- say is that Hitler himself was
expected at the Brown House in
Munich for a conference, and to
indulge in the orgies which are now
given as an excuse to the world for
the wholesale slaughters.
Der Fuehrer (Hitler)," the state
ment goes on to say, gave orders
for this plague to be done away
with ruthlessly."
Hitler has lot to say about the
riotous orgies, the Belshazzar feasts
of the Nazi leaders, about the 10000
marks spent monthly at the Berlin
Party headquarters for banquets.
No, it is not the scandals and tbs
foul orgies of the Nazi leaders, the
graft and the personal fortunes
amassed by the Nazis, not exclud-
ing Hitler, Goering of Goebbels, that
stirred the storm troopers to dis
content, or that brought on the
catastrophe in Germany.
The Fascist dictatorship in Ger
many, which came to power with
the help of all sections of the CAPT.
talist class, and after Social Dem
ocracy had disarmed and betrayed
the working class, began a ferocious
attack against the toiling masses in
order to pile up huge profits for
finance capital and the big land
owners. The official program of
the Nazis had promised the masses
naturalization of the huge trusts.
For example, point Is of the pro-
gram reads: I'VE demand the ma
tionalization of all business which
have been up to the present formed
into companies (trusts)."
Instead the working masses got a
20 per cent wage cut. Out of this
wage slash, the finance capitalists
owning the huge trusts which the
Nazis had promised to nationalize
got increased profits. Through
government subsidies and through
wage cuts chat is, through the real
orgies, graft and scandal, the big
corporations gained 80 per cent
in profits.
1t was not the 10000 marks
monthly spent for orgiastic feasts
by the Nazis in Berlin, nor the
homosexual depredations of Roehm.
Hitler and company, that was
bringing Germany to catastrophe
and to bloody civil war. 1t is such
facts as the increase of profits of
the Hoesch works from 12,500,000
marks in 1882, to 23,700,00O marks in
1888; or the increase or profits by
the Krupp mllnition works of from
20,500,000 marks in 1882, to 35,300,r
600 marks in 1888.
THE Nazi beasts who rule Ger
many could foresee that within
the ranks of the 100000 storm
troopers discomfort was mounting
high. Graeter catastrophe was
rushing ahead for the masses. A
winter of famine for millions was
in store. The state treasury was
bankrupt. The whole economy of
German capitalism was in state
of collapse. Above ALL the working
class has shown Enthusiastically by
the recent factory council elections
that it was moving against fascism.
When the mass armed bands who
were the cannon fodder used by
Hitler to come to power began to
murmur against their conditions,
when they began to become unre-
liable, when they began to see
through the rotten curtain of lies
and demagogy, the real rulers of
Fascist Germany standing behind
Hitler, demanded and got swift ac-
ton.
The Storm Troops were dis
banded. Hitler called his most dis
credited leaders, who had their own
interests at stake, to Munich, and,
in gangster fashion, put them on
the spot. The same was done in
Berlin and Bremen. The fascist
dictatorship purged itself, but at
the same time narrowed its mass
