In the forced May Day Nazi dem

marked the Inauguration of the

A huge Nazi demonstration was

International May Day, 1884,
marked tremendous steps forward
of the revolutionary proletariat in
the fight against war and fascism;
it marks advances for the efforts
of creating mighty united front

flame, purifying with a terrific

In the second part of the edi-
torial, headed "Springtime In HUI

immense differences between coun-
tries agonized by CAPT slism and

construction, the Soviet Union,

Soviet Victories
Led by the Communist Party" it
says, brilliantly carrying into
practice the theories of Marxism-
Leninism, at the price of precious
blood, the sons of the U.S.SR. have
won victories whose significance are
now becoming apparent. Gigantic
plants, beauties OF socialist indus
try, are rooted in the Soviet earth.
New towns are scattered like ant
hills around the country. Hun
dreds of thousands of tractors re-
sound in borderlesS plains. Amid
the noise of construction, where
earth is covered by the sweat OF
creative labor, new buildings are
being erected, new ways are being
laid, new dwellings are being pre-
pared for the new, creative, con-
structive socialist worker
U.S.S.R. Beacon to Slaves of
Capitalism
1.-THE collective farm peasants are
rapidly beginning to move toward
life really social, really prosper
Gus, really human.
ITO the millions of proletarians,
to the millions of the colonial
slaves of capitalism, the Soviet
Union represents the new spring
time of humanity. From the dark
ness of ignorance, from exploitation,
from the bloody mess of imperial
ism, from war and from sticky,
dirty nationalistic quarrels the
workers have directed their coun-
try upon the path of socialist crea-
tive work-a unique path assuring
a radiant future. The Red Star of
proletarian victory burns. Its daz-
cling light will inundate the whole
universe with its vivifying rays.
The springtime of humanity will
never burn out!"

Release Hundreds of Ballons
All in festive mood, they sang

with slogans such as: Greetings to
Comrade Stain, leader and organic

The balloons were usually re-

leased to circle around the square
and Pioneers and other young in
ventors threw up model gliders and
planes, some of which flew for sew

At times the entire Red Square
was covered with transparent por-

leaders. Again the balloons were
released in honor to the heroes of
the Chelyuskin stratosphere flight.

May Day, this joyous day of revolu-

activities on all class fronts. 1t should
lead to greater struggles for the rallying
of the masses in the reformist trade
unions, in the revolutionary trade unions,
against the hunger, fascist and war pro-
gram of Wall Street, for unemployment
insurance and higher wages. 1t must lead
to tremendous increase in recruiting for
the Communist Party, for the world
party of the revolutionary proletariat,
the Communist International. 1t must
lead to greater efforts to establish unity
of all workers, to smash down the bar
riers that the socialist leaders set UP to
keep the rank and file of the Socialist
Party from uniting with their class
brothers in the Communist Party for
united front against hunger, war and fas
cism.

There is no doubt that the pub.

MAY DAY
AS THIS is written, reports
n on international May Day
have not arrived. All prepa-
rations, however, leave nc
doubt that the revolutionary
proletariat throughout t he
world on May First made the
very foundations of capitalism
tremble with the call for struggle
against war and fascism and for
the World Soviet.
From the Soviet Union the stream
of cables and radiograms coming tc
the Daily Worker office breathec
the JOY of socialist achievement o.
the toiling masses. The name OF
Comrade Thaelmann, tortured ir
fascist dungeons, was echoed by tens
of millions throughout the world
with the pledge that May Day would
see more determined, unrelentine
campaign to tear the heroic ano
beloved leader of the German work
ing class from the clutches Of his
hangmen.

mented drill-sargeant May Day cele

May Day in Germany is the
forced celebration of Fascism Of the
final wiping out of all vestiges Of
independent labor organizations. Of
every last shred of the workers
rights.
May Day in Germany inaugurate,
the absolute rights of German
capitalism in dealing with labor.
The Fascist Labor law, effective May
Day, wipes out the principle Of col
lective bargaining and abolishes all
wage agreements formerly in exist
ence. 1t gives the capitalists the
absolute right to set wages and
hours. 1t makes of the expIoiters

the followers
No trade union, no factory coun-
Gil. no legal organization of the
working class has any more right
to say word against the inten-
sified exploitation OF the German
workers.
In wiping out all existing wage
agreements, German fascism opens
the way for the still further lower
ing of the standard of living of the
entire German working class.
